I had my 34 week appointment today....and...drumroll please...Elliot has decided to get her head down where it's supposed to be and is ready for take-off! So excited! I love the idea of not knowing when she is going to come. Woohoo for that!
y dang weight has been all over the place with this pregnancy...I gained like 5 pounds between my last 2 appointments and today found out that since then I have lost 2 pounds...how does that happen? No friggin' clue. But as long as they don't care and little missy is still doing good it doesn't really matter.
She gets the hiccups when she gets startled I've noticed. Once on Valentine's day....and we'll just leave it at that. And then this morning when the alarm went off and was loud she jumped and then had the hiccups for a while. SO CUTE!
Contractions are really random right now. Just coming and going depending on the day. When I run I have them all day pretty consistently but when I do the elliptical they aren't as bad. I cleaned the house yesterday and vacuuming and mopping gave me some good ones...so...I guess Andrew will have to do that from now on :) I kid, I kid.
So, now we just hang out and grow until our 36 week appointment. They are pretty big on the birth plan here. I didn't plan on writing one up because labor and delivery are so random that you never know what you're gonna get. My only thing is that I don't want an epidural and I want a healthy baby. However, they gave me an outline to fill out with my likes/dislikes/issues/worries/etc. so I figured why not fill it out. I really want to be sarcastic and make it so that when they read it they think I'm crazy until they realize that it's a joke but then again not sure if that would be a good idea...
1. Please be sure to rub my hand and look me in the eye whenever you tell me how dilated I am.
2. I would like to eat a cheeseburger 5 minutes prior to pushing.
3. Somebody please french braid my hair when I hit 9cm so that I look pretty in pictures.
4. Throw ice chips in my general direction every 10 minutes to see if I can catch them in my mouth.
5. Flirt with my husband to distract him from his wife pooping on the table.
There. Done.
Not much else to update! Can't wait to meet my little scared hiccuper!
