We are having a heat wave, though, and it's unbearable! We haven't had much of a summer, so it feels even hotter than it is. The fan plus a spray bottle seems to help!
I saw the doctor, everything looks good. Blood pressure is still low/normal, baby is head down. Montana got to use the Doppler again, and again found the heartbeat right away. She's a pro! The heart rate was 135 bpm, which is pretty low, but I looked in my journal and Montana's heart rate was 132 at 32 weeks. So hard to say if it's boy or girl, but I'm still going with girl! I have gained one pound in the past week, which will make my diabetes doctor happy. I'm happy with it too, since it brings the total weight gain to only 13 lbs, when I gained 40 lbs total with Montana...yikes.
I am having an increasingly difficult time sleeping these days; I get up to pee every half hour or so. It is beyond frustrating, especially when I have to work. I mentioned it to the doctor, and she said my urine had mixed flora in it, whatever that means, and gave me a requisition to give a urine sample at the lab. I haven't done it yet.
I'm also having more and more Braxton Hicks, as well as real contractions in my back. It is very uncomfortable, and makes me wonder if Nemo isn't going to come before September. I hope I can hold out until at least then, but if these contractions keep up I may start dilating. I forgot to mention it to Dr. J., so I will at the next appointment.
Work is getting harder and more frustrating as the days go on. I have tried to get my friend in there to take over for me, but the boss is dragging his feet as he so often does. It is now August, which is when she was supposed to start, and he hasn't even talked to her. Now he is saying he has someone else in mind, which infuriates me. I've told him also that I may not be able to work much longer, so he better get on it! At this point I don't care. If I leave and no one is there to do my job, it's his problem; I've tried for months. Hopefully I can work until September 1st, but I really don't know. I have missed a lot of work lately due to appointments and rough nights, so I'm just trying my best.
This week I'll be seeing my diabetes doctor.
