Well March is coming to an end and I am happy about that. The weather has eased off and nice and cool most days. I hit 27 weeks tomorrow so am happy about that. If baby was born now chances of survival are in 90 percentile. We had an ultrasound last week to check for reasons for bleeding. No reasons were found but they did find that baby has short legs. Nice to know we have a big headed short legged rugby player as a kid. Were due to have another scan in 6 weeks to make sure he is still growing well. He is sitting on the 10% percentile still and due to be born just under 3kg so nice size. In between Rachel and Keeley sizing. Mentally things have been hard I have been on and off different meds and seeing Belinda weekly and H@H alternate daily. Since last week things have been more erratic but I have been coping better and going out so I see that a positive. Aaron still has no work but that has worked out ok with ASA work and helping me with the house and kids.
The baby is kicking up a real storm in my belly now. Uterus has finally hit above my belly button and sticks out huge. I feel like a whale. Weight gain has been big in the past few weeks so am trying the Biggest Loser charting with my friend Lorri. I even got the shakes but they taste yuk so not that fond of them. I failed miserably today though as we went to Hungry Jacks for lunch with Bekkie (who is just preg with #2) Will try and do better tomorrow. Had thrush last week- I forgot how uncomfortable that is. Bleeding has slowed down a lot in the past few days maybe a bout of thrush made my cervix stop bleeding. Who knows? My midwife is on holidays at the moment so I now have a back up midwife who is Katie. She is lovely and quite understanding I am a weird case and my uterus shape causes lots of issues. She also stated I will be getting my own room in hospital due to mental illness YAY finally being ill in the head works out for something good for me! If I will be induced is 11 weeks to go and I am counting down every second.
Still need to buy stuff for the baby but I am over the baby to tell you the truth. 9 months is just too long. I will have a freak out at 35 weeks and get organized then. Kids are so in love with my belly and the kids and feeling of him. Rachel spends hours touching and tickling my belly and talking to the baby. The kids love the name Noah and so I am sure it will be that now. To them he already exists as a person with a name and bed room etc. I wont take that away from them.
Am looking forward to meeting my new little man. I want to see him and touch him and feel like it is real. Although I know I will be in loo loo land after he is born and am worried about it I keep thinking of the motherly instinct that hit me so hard with Jake and think it just might be ok. Well that’s it for tonight, not much is happening as usual. Really hoping mentally I can get more stable before Noah comes and more organized.
