It was confirmed what I already thought that Miss Olivia is a feisty one. All night the nurse had to continually come in and move my monitor b/c she would move away from it. When they double banded the monitor down she began to kick me in that exact location. She was trying to let everyone involved know who is in charge. I think between my stubbornness and her father's temper, we are in for a very strong willed little girl.
After very little sleep, I was anxious for one of my doctors to check and provide an update on the outcome of the day. I knew I was either going home or being induced. This was the point I started to bleed a little and lost my mucus plug according to the nurse. My mind started to race about missing my own baby shower over the weekend. Would they still have it without me? I felt awful after all the time, effort and money spent by my sisters to plan such a special day. Therefore, I couldn't have been happier when the news came that my fluids had gone back up, there was no more amnio fluid leaking and I was going home. I am pretty sure I was dressed and packed to leave in about 2 minutes. I wasn't waiting around for the doctor to change his mind. It was an all out sprint to get the heck out of there.
Total Weight Gain: As of my last appointment, I have put on 38 lbs.
Stretch Marks? None.
Sleep: Pretty good considering my size. My poor husband may not feel the same way since I have apparently started snoring the last few weeks. I blame my weight.
Movement: She has been much calmer lately with the exception of our little stint in the hospital when she partied hard.
Food Cravings: Bring on the food!
Symptoms: Last week heart burn hit me hard. This week everything hurts from my hips down.
Best Moment This Week: My beautiful mermaid themed baby shower on Saturday. I think my sister should forgo teaching and take up party planning b/c she thought of every detail. Miss Olivia is beyond spoiled and I am lucky to have the most amazing sisters who go above and beyond one's expectations. I might be biased, but I think my shower was the best I have ever attended.
Looking Forward To: My doctor's appointment this afternoon to see if there has been any more progress. I stayed up until midnight to wash and organize her stuff just in case. I couldn't bring her home to the chaos that was her room yesterday.
