37 Weeks 3 Days

I am ready to be done with this! I am so tired and uncomfortable and in pain. It is hard for me to put on socks and shoes - and pants for that matter. I have a bad pain in my pelvic / groin area on the right that makes me want to cry when I turn over at night. My back and feet ache constantly and my left knee hurts sometimes. I am still having reflux about 2 nights a week where I wake up coughing and choking on vomit/stomach acid. I only sleep for a couple of hours at a time before I wake up from reflux or hip pain or a full bladder. I weigh a ton and have new stretch marks. I am very swollen, especially in the hands and feet. I now have to eat 7 times a day at specific times, check my blood sugar 7 times a day, and give myself 5 shots a day. I have 3 to 4 tests and doctor appointments a week. I cannot pick up Hadley as much as I want to or get on the floor to play with her. All in all, I've had enough! Sorry about the complaining, but pregnancy kind of sucks right now.

I am still having contractions that go away when I rest and none that are regular. I have them more often when I am working. Work was long today and I still have Weds and Thurs to go before I am done. I did a bunch of stuff around the house this weekend, so of course I didn't rest as much as I should have. I am really looking forward to Friday.

I have an ultrasound tomorrow and I see the doc after - I will post more after that.

This will all make caring for a new baby, along with a toddler, seem like a cakewalk! :) Hang in there! You're almost done!!!
