Baby Sadie

Hello everyone.

So today marks 10 days till my due date. I honestly can’t wait till I have the baby. Sleeping hasn’t been too bad since my cold is slowly disappearing. Problem is now Jay has the cold.  Sadie is moving alot and playing with my bladder alot. I wish I could see inside my body to see what she’s doing lol. The doctor’s appointments have been nothing short of stellar. She’s doing absolutely perfectly which is so great. Jay and I had a tour of the hospital in tuesday. It was good to see where everything was and where we had to go for everything.

The only thing now is the waiting game. Its a little frustrating, and I get tired very easily. Naps are vital for me now in the middle of the afternoon. I don’t really mind. Its just the waiting thats killing me but I know that she’s gonna be here very shortly so I’m trying to get through the next 10 days. I will update as soon as I can.

goodnight for now

the sleep was basically the same. Up every 2 hours or so. Very little heartburn though and the cold is getting better. I used a lot of vaporub and I picked up some cough drops tonight. I wish I could sleep more than 2 hours at a time but its ok… I feel alot better about last night than the night before. So now its 530 in the morning and I`m awake watching youtube videos about britains got talent. lol There are some really good performers for that show. Also I get hungry around this time but if I eat anything substantial oh the heartburn so I only eat baby cookies lol. Well i think i may be able to sleep a little more so I have to try. Good morning 541 am

This sucks. I can’t sleep, Jay snores, its so dry in my house I can’t produce saliva if I’m lying in bed. I can’t get comfortable while I’m lying down. The heartburn is still kicking. I have a stupid lip infection or whatever it is. Plus I’m getting up every few hours to pee or whatever when I do actually get to sleep. Nobody tells you when you’re trying to get pregnant that this part sucks so bad.  I’m stressing out over delivery, I feel pretty overwhelmed right now. I was at the doctor’s office today and had a complete meltdown. I am really excited to have this baby but my god I don’t know if I will ever want to put myself through this again for the sake of having another one. I’m beat. Physically and emotionally exhausted. I might be able to sleep again someday soon. Hopefully Apparently I am now sick with a cold too. I slept maybe 2 1/2 hours at a time. I took 2 showers to try to help and they did nothing. We figured out the air exchanger to make the air less dry which is good, but holy I am exhausted.

Sadie is coming soon and she’s definately worth all of this but I hope the cold and the anxiety feelings go away soon. I’m stressed. Gonna go sleep if I can. Drinking lots of orange juice and trying to rest.

Take care

Tamara

I ended up going to the hospital this morning because I had a blinding headache (I think due to high blood pressure) and I didn’t want to take chances with anything this late in this game o’pregnancy.  So we get there and of course they check my blood pressure and it’s perfectly fine. Ugh. Ahh well better safe than sorry. Other news this week. I have some weird infection in my lip that I am currently taking antibiotics for. Its been a rough week. I feel gross and tired all the time and I napped for like 5 hours today. Its impossible to sleep through the bathroom interludes and Sadie doesn’t kick me in the ribs which I am most grateful for, however she loves to play grabby with my bladder which is a little painful. The check at the doctors last week was fine. They’re doing weekly ultrasounds to make sure she’s ok and so far she is. I’m 37 weeks now and I can’t wait to have this baby.  So Happy Easter Weekend everyone and hopefully we will have some news soon…

A very tired crabby Tamara

My hips and legs are hurting. I went to sleep around 10 so I have about 5 hours of sleep. I’m up cause it feels better to sit than lie down. Tv really sucks at 4 am. There are a few movies on. Other than that bleh. Infomercials and american news. I have prenatal classes tomorrow night and Doctor’s appointments on tuesday with another ultrasound. Then an appointment with the eye doctor on wednesday. I love travelling in and out of Halifax 3 times in one week. UGH… I wish I could sleep a bit.. I’m going to see Adventureland tomorrow with Jillian and Still looking forward to seeing 17 Again on the 17th with Tricia. If Sadie allows me to do so I must try to sleep again. Good Morning If nothing else the heartburn is alot better yay!

After spending 9 hours at the hospital today for 2 appointments and prenatal classes I was so ready to go home. I managed to get a few more ultrasound pictures though which are amazing and here they are. In the first one its a profile picture of her head and you can clearly see her lips and nose as well as her head. In the second one if you look at it sideways you see her nostrils and her lips pressed up against the monitor. The third is supposed to be a foot. I cant see it but thats what the ultrasound tech said it was.  I love these pics but can not wait to see the baby outside of my body. I love the pics so much though. Sadie is now 6 lbs 6 oz and in very good health. So yay for me and that baby!!!

The heartburn has been killing me lately. I keep waking up around the same time every night. 4 am is the magic number. Sadie better have a full head of hair like Rapunzel after this heartburn… There are some crazy remedies for heartburn (I don’t like baking soda and water) but stuff like eating a banana? I can handle that. Chewing gum is another one too. The internet can be very helpful at times. I just wish I wouldn’t wake up at 4 to do this every night. Ahh well 5 more weeks if i carry to full term. Soon baby soon. Gotta try to sleep.

Goodnight

Holy lord was she ever active last night.  She decided to start kicking as hard as she could from about 11 until 2 or 3 in the morning. My gosh. And of course shes getting bigger so I was up about 8 times through the night to pee. I can not wait until she is evacuated from my body:)

I had an ultrasound today and they told me Sadie is perfect. Ha like I didnt know that Im uploading the pic they did today so everyone can see her little head and nose. I think she has Jays nose which isnt good… means shes gonna snore ALOT. Anyways doctors appt was good, Blood pressure was borderline.. I threw the bags for Sadie and I in the car just in case something were to happen I would be ready. Had a prenatal class tonight. Almost lost it laughing when a girl thought the placenta was the same thing as the uterus and was mortified when the lady giving the class told us that the placenta would come out after the baby was born. She then proceeded to ask “What if you want to have another baby? ” lol

Goodnight everyone

Well I haven’t posted yet and Tamara is starting to give me the evil eye so I better say something.

I just wanted to Thank everyone who have been so helpful with everything. I have had the misfortune of being sick the last while so hopefully that’s behind me and I can focus on Tamara as we prepare for Sadie’s arrival!

We feel really ready though, Sadie’s room is done, the carseats are in and Tamara is home and off work now. I figure by month 5 I will be ready to change a diaper :-P….
