I'm one week away from my third trimester! First goal after my weekly goals of getting to the next week is making it this far. I already feel 40 weeks even though I haven't felt that before but I've heard it's horrible and quite frankly this is getting worse every week. The baby boy sits super low I can't bend over, I can't lean on things, I can't put my pants on that part of my belly for fear he'll come out with an imprint of a button or something on his head. The nurse was really nice though she told me not to put any pressure on the baby because if you do he will move and if he's low he will move lower. I'm guessing this is kind of like a ground hog burrowing into his caves. I can't be in the car for more than an hour without having crazy leg spasms from sitting instead of laying. Not sure how the plane ride will go but at least I can get up every hour to stretch. It feels as if I have restless leg syndrome if I sit in the car or ride the bus for that long. Constant pressure of fullness and stretching but I can't exercise to help my body stretch so it does not feel so good. With my last pregnancy walking relieved all pain and now I'm stuck on the couch and I can't even move that muscle or it hurts. I may look fine but it feels like I have a baby living inside of me but that was just put there sideways in the wrong position. The left side is the only side I can pretty much lay on at this point. I'm really not even that far along I can't believe my restrictions. We went shopping and we shopped fast 15 minutes then down to the coffee shop to sit and have a break. I'm sure this is how old people feel all the time. Although my brain is fine and I'm more than energetic to do anything this body of mine just isn't with me these days. I just feel so helpless I can't move quick or get up I have to roll already I'm not even the size of an oompa loompa yet! My poor son at least he has a great nanny and a great daddy to hold him and comfort him because I'm stuck on the couch which really sucks. But it's great to watch him he's learning all kinds of new things every day.
We are getting ready to leave today with have 13 days left and only two fridays left yippee! I'm really laying low for reals so I can at least make it to America before something happens and I can maybe get some delicious food too!
So I will be staying in Idaho for 4-5 weeks. From my 28 weeks to 33 weeks. Apparently your body knows when you went into labor the first time. I had my son at 35 weeks went into preterm around 34 so these two weeks I should not be moving anywhere. Then the weeks after probably shouldn't be moving anywhere either. The problem is I'll be in Idaho my husband will be out of school and we need to get me to North Carolina along with who the heck is going to take care of me and my son while we are there since there is no one we know there. I have to get my shot weekly so I can't be changing locations every few weeks you can't just walk in a doctor and get one. I may just have to have this baby in Idaho. Which wouldn't be a bad thing my husband can take leave and spend it with friends but his family is in OK and he really wants to see them. My safe spot is in Idaho and he has to be there for the birth he is my one and only support he does an amazing job and while he freaks out I calm him down and while I freak out he tells me what's next we are a great team! Plus he's smart and I don't have to tell him anything, he knows what we want and what to tell the doctors and such. I really need him there along with it's his son too. It's really important to us both and with all this crazy traveling I hope he's there. I have planned for a Doula just in case if he isn't there while I'm in Idaho if he was in school or something. But this is our big dilemma. Especially with the great doctor I'm going to be seeing in Idaho I could make it all the way to 37 weeks or beyond with her help and ideas! I think it's better to keep the baby boy in and growing that to risk it and travel. Preemies are no guarantee they will need help with breathing or anything and even though Desmund was our little angel he was alot of work! It would be nice to have a some what full term easy baby and maybe get a real birth and not a surprise. Although surprises are amazing lil Desmund is the best surprise we could have ever gotten! At least we know the routine and how it all works out and we are trying to prepare for every scenario!
