1. I'm starting to find it harder to move around. My belly is growing rapidly now and I have only 20 more days to go. I have developed a bad case of hives. I ran out of my normal pregnancy lotion so I decided to try putting babys oil on my belly. It wasn't taken care of the itchiness so I started to put on some lotion from Bath and Body works on and that made it worse. I now have hives all over my body and I can't seem to get rid of the problem. I'm not sure if I should call the doctor or try some home remedies first. Any suggestions?
2. I'm trying to wrap up any loose ends before the baby arrives. I called and filed for my short term disability and scheduled a tour of the hospital. I was never able to sign up for any prenantal classes due to scheduling conflicts. I'm just going to have to read up and do some self studying.
3. I had my 36th week doctor's appointment on Wednesday. Frank was supposed to come with me but had to cancel on me at the last minute. He had an appointment to run which he couldn't get out of.
4. The doctor made me wait around for about 30 minutes in the room and I was falling asleep in the chair. Luckily the baby was very active so she kept me entertained. The doctor saw me for only five minutes. She told me everything looked good and that I have already dilated 1 centimeter. Next week they will put a moniter on the baby to see if the placenta is working properly. They want to check the babies movements since the measurements from the hospital came back a bit on the small side. I'm sure she is fine and all this concern over her size is based on family genetics. They are predicting a normal sized baby.
5. I'm looking forward to meeting our new little baby soon. It's hard to believe my life is about to change forever. No more sleeping in I guess...
6. After I went to work on Saturday morning I met up with my friend Wendy to do a little shopping for some nursing bras. Afterwards we went out to lunch at Colonial's. We had some free coupons for some ice cream sundaes.
7. I went home and tried to resolve my current issues with AT&T. The pending issue is still being disputed and could still take up to a couple of weeks to resolve. I called back to cancel all the upgrades to my phone and internet services. I also cancelled my order for direct TV.
8. Frank and I spent a relaxing weekend alone together. I went to sign the consent forms at the hospital.
9. We attended General Conference and really enjoyed all the talks. We invited
a friend over for dinner. Frank cooked a delicious pork roast and than we played a few games afterwards.
10. Frank put together the stroller and I re-arranged some of the stuff in the baby's room.
