Whew, it's been too long since I posted. A lot has been going on!
In the last few weeks I've had a few mild issues. Apparently, for the first time in my life, I have a bladder infection. I knew I felt sick a few weeks ago... was needing to pee all the time... so I drank less... and then became dehydrated... which caused my blood pressure to get too low. etc.....
Well, my "pee pattern" hasn't changed. I just assumed this was typical pregnancy issues at this stage in the game. I just happened to have applied for new term life insurance and had a health exam. I found out from the health exam that I had a bladder infection which must've been behind all of the issues above! Now I'm on an antibiotic and hoping I will soon get to sleep for longer periods at night :D Come on, I've just got a few weeks of sleep left!
My doctor visits have gone well. I've gained 18 pounds - on the same track as with Hadley. I do need to eat and drink a little more. I'm not intentionally not eating and drinking enough. I think I just need even more nourishment that I did with Hadley because I now have Hadley to chase around!
Madeline's heartbeat has sounded good at every visit. I'm measuring right on target. My next visit, @ 36 weeks, the doctor will "check" me!! I wonder if I'll be dilated or effaced?? I bet something will have happened. I can definitely feel some changes and contractions. At 36 weeks with Hadley I was 1 cm and 70% effaced (I think).
Speaking of, one of my best friend's who is due 2 weeks ahead of me, found out she's a tight 3cm and mostly effaced. The doc told her to pack her bags!! That made me feel even more pressure to get our to-do list done!!
Madeline, we'll meet you soon!! Keep growing!
