9 months!!!

Oh my goodness has time flown by, with no exception this week either!!!
I had my regular OB appointment with Dr Prema this afternoon and I'll be heading in for my NST in just a few. I'm writing this before my NST but I'll post it afterward. Everything has been continuing just fantastic. McKenna has dropped some, she's roughly 6 1/2 pounds give or take and I don't have any preeclampsia symptoms! My blood pressure has gone up slightly and there's just a trace of protein in my urine sample but Dr Prema says this is all completely normal for as far along as I am. I couldn't be more blessed with this pregnancy!

So a little bit of exciting news though, I see Prema again next Wednesday and if McKenna has dropped enough and all is well, we may be inducing that day or in that week!!! I'M DYING WITH ANTICIPATION!!!! Does that mean this is going to be the longest waiting week of my life??? Oh well SHE'S ON HER WAY!!!!!!! Just FYI we will be delivering at San Gabriel Hospital. Our insurance felt I wasn't at risk enough to need Huntington's resources but Dr Prema is completely confident with San Gabriel and she enjoys working with them, so GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!

Oh man, James is a little concerned because it's for sure closer than anticipated but if she's ready, she's ready and whatever Dr Prema says goes!!! I just can't wait hahaha, while I'm sitting here waiting hehe

Oh man, well that was our exciting news- we will know for sure obviously come my check up next week what Dr Prema would like us to do, otherwise we will be waiting one more week.

STATUS UPDATE

Total weight gain/loss: Ugh total of 19 lbs now

Maternity clothes: Stretchy shirts and pants hahahah

Stretch marks: Nothing new

Best moment this wk: Hearing the possibility of McKenna coming next week!!

Miss anything: I'm assuming I will miss working for a short period of time, right now I'm not missing too much I guess- This is just the norm for me. Maybe I'll miss being pregnant HAHAHA

Movement: Absolutely but at this point because there is no more room for her the movement feels a little different than before

Anything making you queasy or sick: Garlic. I love the stuff but can't stand the smell when things are cooking

 Symptoms: McKenna dropped a bit and the pressure on my back hips is killing me. I can't even shift in bed when I'm laying down- You know that feeling when people say they feel like a truck ran over them hahaha

Have you started to show yet: I sure am, no question lol
