LABOR & DELIVERY

Image
Alright it is time to share my labor and delivery story! I am currently sitting in the hospital on day 7 of having Weston! I have been discharged, while he is still getting the care that he needs and I figured that this would be the perfect time to write this while it is fresh in my head! Sort of! It all started Saturday July 14th. Joseph and I got up and went to make some money off of all the extra junk we had sitting around our house! We were at our yard sale from like 10-4 ish. I had done a lot of sitting and when my butt hurt I would go bounce on the yoga ball I was trying to sell!😂 I was having more contractions that day, but nothing intense. They would go from being frequent to being hours apart. Just very random. We ended up leaving around 4, but stopped to see my mom and work for a bit. We then went to the store to get the necessities, like water, milk, and Oreos. You know, the important stuff. When we got home neither of us felt like cooking so we popped some corndog...

LAST PREGNANCY UPDATE: WEEKS 37 - 40

Image
I gave up keeping track of how I was feeling the last few weeks! So I am just smushing it all into one small update! I went to an appointment at 37.4 weeks, and I was dilated to a 2 and 75% effaced. He said there was a good chance that I would go into labor on my own within the week, but wanted to see me back in a week if I didn't have him yet. This week was the longest week of my entire life! I kid you not! I went to bed every single night thinking that it could be my last night being pregnant. And every morning I would wake up and just think dang it! Since my last update, I have not been sleeping good. I cramp throughout the entire night, and have a few strong contractions when I wake up, but once I get out of bed they go away. and it has been like that for almost 3 weeks!😩 That week I just felt really down in the dumps, like deep down, because I was expecting to go into labor that entire week and I didn't. It was just one of those things that really got to me, becaus...

PREGNANCY UPDATE WEEKS 33 - 36

WEEK 33 I am still honestly just so tired! Like nothing has changed at all! I have been really bad at putting lotion on, and I have gotten a couple baby stretch marks which makes me so so so sad! So it is time to   get on that! My back has been a little sore, but nothing to bad! I still have been having an upset stomach like all week everyday! Which sucks! I can't believe that we only have 7 weeks left until he is here! Like that is so crazy, but honestly I am ready to have my body back! I want to buy all these clothes, and I try them on and my body just looks awkward and unflattering! I am ready to wear high waisted jeans and cute tops again! Although I am proud because I haven't bought any maternity clothes and I don't plan on it! WEEK 34 I suck and didn't even keep track of anything this week! We did have another appointment, and I gained 4 lbs! Probably from all the left over sugar cookies and cupcakes I ate from by baby shower! Like I was eating them e...
