This morning I had a 38 week check-up to see if there was any action. The doctor said that my cervix is still thinning out and is soft but no dilation. Baby Menard's Heartbeat was 150 and my blood pressure is still perfect. Lately, I have been having a lot of round ligament pain on my sides and some pressure/ pain down in my pelvic area. I think the thing that bothers me the most is the fact that I am having some arthritis/ carpel tunnel symptoms with my hands. In the middle of the night I can hardly move them b/c my joints hurt so badly. Then at the end of the day I can barely pick up a dinner plate with one hand. Supposedly this can be a normal symptom of pregnancy and will go away after the baby is born. As for my ankles, they get a tiny bit swollen at the end of a work day but they return to normal by the morning. My last day of work is going to be Thurs. the 24Th. That gives me a week to relax and maybe get one more pedicure.
Tomorrow, Jake and I plan on making one last trip to Babies R Us just for some last minute items. Then I think we will be ready!!
