34w - Do I look as uncomfortable as I feel? Also, please note the bandage on my thumb. I had an apple cutting injury on Wednesday and was pretty convinced my thumb was going to fall off. |
At the beginning of yoga we always go around the room and tell how many weeks we are and what is bothering us that week. The other night I said I was 34 weeks and all around uncomfortable and the instructor asked if I'd had my breakdown yet. According to her, everyone has a breakdown somewhere between 31-35 weeks due to all of a sudden feeling like crap and suddenly realizing that in a very short time you are actually going to have a baby. I told her I'd had several. I have cried twice at work this week - both times for situations that definitely didn't warrant tears. On Tuesday I was making copies and the piece of crap copier jammed and yesterday I knocked over a very large, very full cup of water which then spilled all over my desk. Both times I had a major meltdown, although luckily both times some really kind coworkers came to my rescue otherwise I really would have lost it.
If I could just lay on the couch all day, in my yoga pants and a t-shirt, with my feet up and easy access to lots of snacks and a bathroom I would be fine but unfortunately work gets in the way of that fantasy.

We had another NST and AFI on Wednesday and everything was still looking good. I had a regular OB appointment today and the doctor said she doesn't think it's necessary to continue the weekly appointments with the MFM since everything has been normal (what a great word to hear!) with this pregnancy so we are going to discontinue those, although I will go back in to the MFM at 36 weeks for a regular growth scan. I only gained 1 pound since my last appointment which was pretty exciting to me since I had previously been gaining like 5 pounds every 2 weeks and am currently feeling ginormous. So things are moving along right on track.
Looking forward to my Richmond shower this weekend!
