Update: less than 100

Wow, less than 100 days until baby #3 makes his/her appearance! I say "his/her" for my mom because she doesn't want to know the gender and I am happy to oblige (this time around! :)

Anyway, I have been feeling a bit "different" or "off" lately. I guess I can chalk it up to being pregnant, right?

-I started having contractions a few weeks ago (23+ weeks pregnant). You know, the kind that come around from the back?* And although they weren't incredibly painful, just sort of "different", Linda** said that she was a bit concerned about it because she wouldn't classify them as Braxton Hicks. If I had more than 4 in an hour, I needed to get ahold of someone in the practice ASAP.

-I am still measuring 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule. For those of you that remember me with Spencer (or even Livi for that matter), I used to measure ahead. But with Spencer, at 27 weeks, I was measuring 6 weeks ahead!! That is not necessarily normal, especially since they did an ultrasound too and his bones/head/etc were also measuring 6 weeks ahead. (That's when they decided to induce)

-Linda decided that since I am measuring ahead, along with everything else (having big babies, fainting and near fainting episodes, baby #3), they would like to see me a week earlier than normal. She ordered another ultrasound (#4 for this pregnancy!) and we'll go over the glucose test (yuck).

-Besides all of that? I can barely roll over in bed, I ache EVERYWHERE and after walking/shopping/etc all day on Tuesday, I came home and my ankles were a tiny bit swollen (I remember that happening WAY later in my last pregnancies..)

Oh, the joys of baby #3!

*I had PAINFUL, PAINFUL back labor with Livi..she was posterior and it made labor SO MUCH HARDER!

**Linda is the RN, but so much more. She practically runs the practice..and she was the one who got me through the first trimester of Torticollis, Morning sickness, Flu, etc, she was amazing!
