I had to go to the doctor yesterday...last minute...because Charlotte was being stubborn and she had not moved for a day and a half. At first, I thought it was because I had a long day the day before, but when I laid down all afternoon yesterday and nothing was happening I got freaked out. Her heart rate was good, but she was definitely a sleeping baby. They used this "baby alarm clock" (i know there was an exact name for the device) to wake her up. It was pretty cool. It sent a vibration through the amniotic fluid which, in turn, wakes the baby up if everything is okay. Thankfully, it woke her up and now she is moving around lots and lots...I did my kick counts this morning right after Bobby left for work and she moved like 1000 times in 10 minutes. :)
After the doctors appointment, I met Bobby in TR to see his mom and step dad. I'm really glad that we got to spend time with them. His mom and I went to TJ Max together, and she got me an outfit to wear in the hospital, a sports bra, and a coming home pair of pants. Then we got Zaxby's to go and ate dinner at their house. AFter hanging out for a few hours and Riley showing out a time or two, we came home. Let me just say that driving in the pouring rain was soooooooo much fun....hah...I tried on my outfits when I got home and they look SO good on me!! I'm super excited. I love going to his mom's house, even though it's not that often because we live so far apart. She definitely is a great person to talk about anything, which helps because sometimes I have a hard time finding someone to talk to about what's on my mind. She really is great to me and Riley, and it melts my heart that she is super excited about this baby!
Needless to say...this morning was a rough start because I am so so so exhausted. Riley is eating his Fruit Loops with marshmallows and being a silly butt. I have his birthday party set for the 19th and his Nanna is going to work it and be the gymnastics teacher to help with expenses. I can't believe my little boy will be 2 years old! Time has gone by so fast.
Friday I get my strep test done at the doctor and they will check to see if the baby's head is in the down position yet. I woke up this morning and had the worst pinching feeling for like 5 minutes in my pelvic area...so maybe that means something. I'm about miserable now and am anxious for her arrival...and scared at the same time. But I'm ready for her to get here and I'm ready for a "break" from working. I love my job and love love love my kids at work, but with my body hurting all of the time now, it's hard to stay on my feet all 30 minutes of each rotation, so the break will be nice.
