38 Weeks,

and spent it in the hospital. I was having severe joint pains that would come and go to different parts of my body. So I called the doc and they had me go to Labor and Delivery to get checked out. Baby girl was fine the entire time. Strong heartbeat and lots of movement. They ran tons of tests (when the could find my veins), and came to the conclusion that it was my sickle cell flaring up. I had not had any issues with sickle cell since I was 7 years old. Of course they kept me overnight for observation, but with collapsed veins, they couldn't run any IVs, and it was difficult to draw blood. So of course I have many bruises from all the needle pokes from their efforts in drawing blood. Fun Times. Well, I am back home now on strict orders to hydrate and rest. So of course, I have no pic of me for this week.

37 Weeks (Full Term)!!!

Wow, I have finally made it. I am full term. Throughout this entire pregnancy I had it stuck in my head that I would go early and have a preemie. Guess that means I am definately going past my due date now. Well, baby girl can come anytime she wants to now. I will be drawing up the eviction notices soon.

36 Weeks

Wow, what a milestone...4 more weeks to go until my due date. Time is winding down. I have washed all the clothes I wanted to wash, The nursery just needs to be straightened up. We still need to install the car seat, but things are almost complete. I am hoping to be able to rest and enjoy my last few weeks of pregnancy. Sorry, but I forgot to take a pic for this week.
