Holy Crap.
Only 1 week to go!!!
Went in for my antenatal appointment yesterday and saw the OB and pretty much straight off the bat she said she was moving my Induction forward as I have diabetes and it should be done at 38 weeks not 39. So it is what it is and I am totally freaking my pants off.

It’s awesome knowing when she will be roughly arriving into the world tho! I can have everyone around me (or nearby) right when I need them to be!!! And who wouldn’t want their family around them at such a time??!!

I am happy that I only have 1 more week of Gestational Diabetes and Insulin Injections to go. I really want to stick to the diet that I have been on tho!! I couldn’t recommend it enough I am not going to miss the back pain, crap sleep, acid reflux/heartburn, tiredness, breathlessness or the daggy/boring clothes though!

I am scared.

I am excited.

But mostly I am scared…..

Once Thursday is here I will be happy. I hate not knowing what is happening, when I have so much to organise. I haven’t packed my bags yet or anything, but I have most things that I need to fill them now. Once I know what is happening I will go ahead and do that. And I will get the baby’s room finished too.

I’m hoping to get my boots soled on the weekend maybe as I want to be able to wear them soon. And there is no way I am going to wear them with the possibility of slipping over again….spesh now I am heading for 36 weeks along. I want to take the last couple of weeks easy as it’s going to be the last I will get to myself for a VERY long time and I want to be refreshed and ready to go (as much as is possible).

I find myself going into the baby’s room, just to look at things and to stand in there and imagine our baby in there and to touch her things. I can’t really believe it’s all happening. It wasn’t that long ago that I thought having a baby would be the last thing that would happen for a looong time…..and now it’s just around the corner practically. It’s just so damn freaky.

I am out of breath constantly too now. And sleeping….well what IS sleep exactly?? I can’t sleep on my left side as it hurts me and so I end up on my back half the time and then of course wake up because of it at 2:30am with indigestion/heartburn. TUMS is my best friend now. I’m sick to death of taking blood levels and injecting insulin now too.
