After my last appointment, I had to go redo bloodwork just to make sure my platelets hadn't dropped. At my 12 week routine bloodwork they were normal, well those little boogers dropped, and dropped low. So like with Kenzie, I'm back to seeing a Hematologist. I went last Friday and was told they were low, but not as horrible as before. I don't really want an epidural this time around, so I wouldn't mind them just saying "nope too low, sorry, you're just out of luck." But at the same time, it is scary thinking about what could happen if your blood is not clotting right.
I'm feeling huge. And feeling like people think I belong in a carnival, like a bearded lady, or world's tinniest man. Have people never seen a pregnant lady?
Also after last appointment, the doctors are thinking baby is head down! Weeeee!! I do have an ultrasound scheduled for 36 weeks to check on baby's weight and position. I didn't have this US with Kenz, but they want to double check on baby's size since Kenz was a bit of a moose.
How Many Weeks: 33 weeks, 2 days. Days are seriously flying.
How Big Is The Baby This Week: Baby Burch is as big as a pineapple and about 4.9lbs.
Weight gain: About 20lbs. I had lost 3lbs at my last appointment (not sure how thats possible), so I'll see where we are at after tomorrow's appointment.
Sleep? Luckily my pregnancies are good to my sleep habits. I've had a hard time actually falling asleep the past few nights, but once I get to sleep I usually sleep all night....besides a possible potty break.
Cravings? Everything sounds good. I'm somewhat craving salads again, which I did a lot in the beginning, and also fruit.
Aches and pains? No constant pains, it just feels like my chest is being smooshed every time I bend down or bend over.
Signs of labor? Nope
What I miss? I miss being able to fit into whatever clothes I want to wear, depending on the weather. Our warm up weather has really put a dent in the clothing dept. I don't want to go crazy buying summer maternity clothes for a month and half, so I'm currently squeezing into non maternity shorts and tanks until I can buy a few staple pieces to get me through.
Reaching Milestones: We are now onto weekly doctor's appointments. We are getting so.close.!
