33 week update

Yay, only seven weeks left to go! That still seems like a while. I've had to take it easy since the fall that I had two Saturdays ago. There is a lot more pressure now and my hips hurt as well as there being more cramping and braxton hicks. Yes, I report all of this to my dr and they all say... "oh that's normal". To me all they are saying is 'who cares'. Whatever.
I am dilated and I think I have dilated more, but who cares, right? I really don't mind having him early, as long as he is healthy. I am a pro at little babies and I'm terrified to push anything out that is larger than 6lbs. We'll see what happens. Phil and I both think that he might come early. I do have my 34 week dr visit next week, which I am glad for because it's with the dr that I really like! And they have me going in for another ultra sound to make sure that our little guy is growing accurately because I carry so small. I still think I'm bigger with him than my other two. At least I get to see him again on camera!

Pressure

There has been a lot of pressure lately.... Not sure if that's a good sign or not. Pressure on my cervix and pelvic bone. I have to take it easy most days, which can be frustrating as there are so many things I would like to just do and get done. But that's alright, this little guy is more important! I am now officially 30 weeks into my pregnancy and last night was the first I've experienced some contractions. Now based on how they were measuring out they were more like braxton hicks, just very painful. I had four within one hour. The first three were five minutes apart and then I had a few more that were getting further apart and more tolerable. It was a very long night for me and I'm just keeping an eye on things today. I have my Dr apt tomorrow morning where I'll get checked and we'll see from there.
In the meantime, I'm going to spoil myself with bubble baths and pray that I can just get through this week with Kenna's birthday party.
