Pregnancy update

Just an update on how things are going. I am 36 weeks and 3 days today. Last weeks doctors appointment didn't go as smoothly as I had planned. The weekend before, Chris and I had a HORRIBLE stomach virus. Evidently the force of me vomiting pushed the baby down into my pelvis. I had been feeling pelvic pressure for a couple of days but wasn't to concerned about it. Dr. H checked me last Thursday and said Meyer was SUPER LOW. Plus 2 station to be exact. I was 50 % effaced but surprisingly I had not dilated any. My belly was measuring small as it did 2 weeks prior so he did an ultrasound. The baby weighed in at 5 lbs 2 oz. His belly measured on the small side so Dr. H said we would keep an eye on it. My amniotic fluid looked good.

Now for this week. I have been completely MISERABLE!!! I literally feel like I'm walking around with a bowling ball between my legs. There are times the pain is so bad that I can't even walk. I really think he has dropped even lower. I haven't been able to work my full shift at work this week. I've just been working about 5 hours or so everyday. I've been having more and more contractions everyday. They just aren't staying consistent.

I really hope that I can make it to my scheduled C-section, which is 16 days away, but I'm not sure that's going to happen. I'm so worried that I will have him too early. I hope I can at least make it another week. I don't want another NICU baby. Another concern is that Colin won't be able to come to the hospital AT ALL to see me or his new baby brother. All because of this stupid H1N1 crap. I've already asked Dr. H how soon he can get me out of there (and he said 48 hrs). I want to get home to my first baby and let him meet his "bubba". He's telling me to "get bubba out" of my belly.

I have another doctors appointment this Friday. They are putiing me on the monitor to see how my contractions are. I'll post this week end on how everything is progressing!!!
