We are 30 days out from my due date! Yes ladies and gentlemen, 30 days. We have been prepping like crazy for the arrival of this little one all the last few weeks. We got all the clothes washed, all the carpets cleaned and vacuumed, some last minute things for her room. Bags are packed and in the car, we are ready. Now is just going to be the waiting game, probably the frustration of constant braxton hicks contractions and pelvic pain and the not knowing when this baby will be born. I'm hoping she comes early and I feel like she will come in May, but we will find out when the day comes. (Must be so easy for those of you who get to be induced since you know when Baby is coming!)
I've been freaking out a little bit about what we're going to do with two babies, I'm worried that Sam will be sad or frustrated when I can't get up and do everything he needs right away because I'm feeding Ella... I'm thankful that AJ will be home for that first week so he can help me with Sam while I handle Ella (or vice versa.) I try and at least talk to Sam about it every day, how there's going to be a little sister soon. He kind of understands, he knows that Ella is in my tummy at least, lol.
My next Dr's appointment isn't till I'm 37.5 weeks. I was a little concerned that it was so far out, but they couldn't reschedule it. My Dr is going to be on vacation my regular office visit week and they are completely booked that week so they couldn't get me in with someone else. I'm mostly concerned that they haven't ran the group b strep test, but when I called and asked about what if I go into labor before that appointment, they told me that if I do go into labor, let the L&D triage department know I haven't been tested and they will run the test right then. If my water has broken they may just give me antibiotics right away in case I do have it until they get the test results. I don't think I will go that early though. So I'm not too worried, plus I'm hoping that since I will be farther along that there will be some good news at my appointment about dilation, etc.
We'll have to see, it's all a bunch of waiting now!
