So tomorrow (thurs) I have an appointment with the Diabetes Educator and hopefully another appointment with an OB. I am really going to plead for another Growth Scan or to bring the Induction date forward. I am really really worried that my baby is going to get too big. I guess I will see just how much tomorrow when they measure me.

I am starting to get my hospital/labour bags packed. Just in case. After tomorrow I only have one more appointment at the hospital and then I go in for my Induction. I am freaking out about it. In one way it’s nice to know basically when my baby will be on her way, so I can make plans for family to be nearby. But then it’s scary at the same time as it’s not going to be a spontaneous thing, it’s planned and therefore I know when one of the biggest days of my life is going to be happening and of course I am scared of the whole process.

We have the baby’s chest of drawers…..sitting in a box…..waiting for us to assemble it. I hope that we can do that this weekend at some point and then I can get on with finishing the baby’s room.

for the baby to come out now.
Bedtime is becoming more and more undesirable, as the quality of sleep I am getting is rubbish. And I don’t even have the baby here yet. I hate it when I hear “it’s getting you prepared for when your baby is here”. That is BS. The reason I am having bad sleep is because I am pregnant and I wake up every 2-3 hours with acid reflux and the water I drink at those times is waking me up also, as I am busting to go to the bathroom. I can’t sleep on my back. I can’t sleep on my right side (my fave side) as it’s quite painful for me. And my hips are really painful every morning now too. I won’t be going through any of those things once the baby is born. I will be going through a whole new set of feelings along with tiredness.

Anyway, there really isn’t anything I can do about it. I am just very lucky that I don’t have to wake up at the crack of dawn to get ready for work. I am able to sleep in a little while to try and get a couple of hours of decent sleep in the bed alone.

I will hopefully be seeing an OB this week as well as the Diabetes Educator. I am thinking of asking for another ultrasound to get an idea of how big baby is as I am totally freaking out since my last appointment. As I was measuring quite big. I am also thinking of having some reflexology on my feet done as I have read/heard that it can help bring on labour….. so we will see.
