Yes, you read it right. At 35 weeks (next week) and counting.. weeee! I am getting a bit excited, well very excited actually. Today I had my hair cut after i dunno, 3 months? hehehe.. good thing the stylist is my usual one and knew what I really wanted.
When I got home, the "nesting" instinct is beginning to creep in. Really. I cleaned the room! hehehe... well, i do clean the room, but this time i changed sheets... and am sending my things (laundry) and andie's stuff to my mama's house. We'll be staying there after I give birth.
So there.. I'll be busy for the next week with work and a lot of stuff.
My Sweetest Downfall...
I just thought I liked this song. Thoughts on this on later posts.
SAMSON
Regina Spektor
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met
Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
The bible didn't mention us, not even once
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first , I loved you first
Beneath the stars came falling on our heads
But there just soft light, there just soft light
Your hair was long when we first met
Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
He told me i was beautiful and came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors and the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
and kissed me till the morning light, the morning light
and he kissed me till the morning light
Samson came back to bed
not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first

31 weeks and counting
Today I went to my OB-Gyn. Time for the monthly Pre-natal visit.
Armed with the results of the Hepatitis B test and the Hemoglobin Check off I went to Quirino Doctors Clinic.
I was supposed to see the doc yesterday, but alas,as fate would intervene, she was out somewhere, maybe someone was in Labor? heheh... Good thingie too that I was rescheduled today since there are not as many patients today, well, not too many when I arrived. So waiting was not as long as before. (imagine waiting for an hour just to be seen by the doc).
I weighed in at 136.5Lbs, last month was 131Lbs. Doc says it's not too much since I have only gained about 29 Lbs from the first visit on January BUT, a big BUT, I have to watch the weight from now on. I am not supposed to gain too much so giving birth would not be very hard for me. And both I and the doc are hoping for a normal delivery.
She took my blood pressure, 100/70, usual. She checked my results, Hepa B is negative, I remember having the shots when I was little, maybe that helped. Hemoglobin was a little below normal. Normal range 120 and a little beyond, mine is 116. But the doc says its about ok since the baby has to have her blood/ hemoglobin from mine. So there are two of us sharing it. But she gave me another vitamin though. I stop taking Terraferon from now on and take another vitamins. More into Iron supplement from the multi vitamins I am previously taking.
Then, my favorite part, the doc let me lie down in her examination table and checks where Baby Andie is. Seems she too is getting ready for the big day, this early! She's already head down (great work andie! I hope you won't turn a lot from now on.. so we can both be ready)... then measured my tummy (I read it is called, measuring the fundus) at 29 inches. Not bad she says. I am 31 weeks pregnant. Measurement should be almost the same as the number of weeks you are carrying the baby. at 29, Dr. Estuart says it is okay. Then she takes out her doppler and listens to the baby's heartbeat! And that is always music to my ears. Strong, steady heartbeat other than my own. She gave me my Tetanus shots too!
Diagnosis: 31 weeks pregnant, I should see her every 2 weeks now. And I should be ready by 2 weeks before August 1 since from there I can give birth anytime. nervous! hehehe...
I am seeing her by June 15 or 16.
**Facts about the baby at this time:
Your baby now weighs approximately 3.5 pounds, measures about 18 inches from head to toe, and is getting used to the world of light and dark by opening and closing its eyes. Its facial muscles continue to strengthen, and your baby can make different expressions.
