37 Weeks

 

 

New symptom added this week- snoring. Matt recorded me. Yep I snore. I knew before he recorded me though because I've woken myself up a couple times. It's not really bothering me- what bothers me is when Matt wakes me and tells me I'm snoring. Then complains when I start moving around trying to get comfortable again. If he wouldn't have woken me up then I would still be asleep and not moving. Haha.

Pregnancy has been very good to me the past nine months. I still "forget" that I am pregnant. I have only had a bout or two with heartburn, haven't had issues with constipation or hemroids , no real sickness, sleeping has become "less easy" than before- it takes longer for me to fall asleep- but before I was pregnant I'd be asleep in a matter of minutes. Now when I first lay down it takes me awhile, but I still fall asleep quickly after using the bathroom in the middle of the night. I really can't complain. I probably should never get pregnant again though, because I'm sure the second time around will be 100% different.

I think that the fact that I've felt so good has held me off from having a "holy crap" freak. But that finally came at our Bradley class last night. Our instructor was asking questions and going a mile a minute and I thought to myself "how am I ever going to do this?!? I don't know what she is talking about- what's the difference between the first stage of labor and the second stage of labor. When do I call Matt? When do I call my parents? When do we go to the hospital? My head was spinning and I had to hold back tears. Let's hope Matt has been paying attention and will be able to handle and coach me through labor. I'm just along for the ride.

I am going to be a mom. Wow.
