James went to LA this past weekend and I'm so relieved Lily decided to stay put. I'm already 36 weeks pregnant, and I suppose Lily can come out anytime now. But, I saw Dr. B yesterday and she said I'm progressing nicely. The cervix is soft and it's making room for Lily. She switched me to Heparin, a different type of blood thinner, because it's safer than Lovenox towards the end of pregnancies, meaning the effects of it can be reversed, whereas with Lovenox, it cannot. Although I'm now instructed to give myself 2 injections a day, I'm so relieved as the size of the needle is about half of what the Lovenox was, and it hasn't left me battered and bruised. I've got my non-stress test this Thursday, and on Friday, James and I are taking a babycare/feeding class at the hospital. And, to make matters more exciting, my last day of work is tomorrow. I've never looked forward to Halloween this much. At work today, my colleagues surprised me with a little party. It was very sweet and thoughtful. I have to admit, I'm going to miss working there, but I am looking forward to finally organizing the apartment.
My belly is getting more and more uncomfortable, as you can imagine. And today, Lily had the hiccups three times! What causes that?!?! Walking around is really wearing me out, and I always feel like I just ran 10 miles. My lower back has also been hurting me if I stand or walk for long periods of time. Luckily, (knock on wood), my feet/ankles have not swollen to the point where I had to jump up a size in my shoes. But emotionally, I'm doing just great. My hormones are in check and I'm a pretty happy pregnant person.
