I went for another ultrasound on Monday, January 8th. Zoe now weighs 4 lbs!! Isn't it amazing how much she has gained in a month? I'm anxious to see what she's gonna weigh when she arrives???
My blood pressure is the same. I'm still swelling like crazy--I'll be so happy to get Zoe here safely and return back to a normal size! I'm starting to get really uncomfortable all the time now. It's hard to sleep and it's a pain to try and roll out of bed every hour to go to the bathroom! I don't think Braxton Hicks have started yet, if so, I can't tell because they don't hurt at all. My stomach is getting really hard now. I can definately tell when her little butt is pressed up against my stomach! It's such an amazing feeling when she moves around inside of me--and it's constant. I swear she never sleeps!
I also now have a little rash on my stomach. They call it "PUPPS". Apparently 1/100 pregnant women get it and they have no idea what causes it. I went to the doctor yesterday so he could look at it to see what was wrong. He recommended I start taking Benadryl every 6 hours and I had to buy this super expensive body cream and soap made for sensitive skin. It already looks a little better just in one day.. but the itching is out of control! I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy!
I go back to the doctor on Monday to start the fetal movement testing?? Not sure exactly what that is, but I'll fill everyone in on Monday!
Oh ya..... I think we're leaning towards delivering at 37 weeks for sure now, so rather than my due date being March 11th, it might be more like Feb. 19th or sometime shortly thereafter! It's coming so fast! Keep us in your prayers everyone! Talk to you soon!
