Hi Girls.. When I got pregnant I promised myself I would not be one of those who just stopped providing updates and now here I am, I haven't posted a journal in almost a month. It just really is true what they say, when you get to your third trimester you are super tired again and I have been running around trying to get the nursery complete, get things organized at work so I can leave, and the stupid bathroom renovations. Anyway, I apologize, I promise I do come on and check on you girls as much as possible.
So, as far as the pregnancy goes I am doing good. I am 33 weeks now which is just crazy. I still have a massive swelling problem with my ankles, feet and legs, but otherwise I have been pretty stable. My BP is staying under control and I haven't had any extra amounts of protein in my urine so no bedrest! They really had me freaked out for a while. I will start going every week next week and they will be doing a non stress test on the baby with every appt as well, just to make sure. I am still anemic, but no matter how much iron I take that doesn't seem to change so they have stopped trying. They say my platelets are fine, so I am not at risk for a transfusion during delivery so I don't care anymore. I also only have to take one thing of iron a day which is a relief, iron is very hard on your system!
I have the nursery done except I need to hang a few more pictures so I am holding off taking photos until it is all complete. Pregnancy has brought out the craftiness in me apparently.. :) I love it and am very excited with how it has turned out.
I have the final of my 3 baby showers this Saturday. I have gotten a lot of great stuff and everytime I see the little clothes I tear up just a little bit. It is still amazing to me that I am actually having a baby. This Saturday is my family one and close friends so I am excited!
Project bathroom remodel is still under way.. it sucks, but at this point they just need to get done. I know we will get there, it has just been very frustrating.
I have some extra drugs, Follistim, Ganirelix and Estrogen patches.. please send me a message if you need anything.
Sending big hugs out there to all of you! Lots of love!

How exciting, you're almost there! Glad you are feeling pretty good...I have heard that swelling is pretty common late in pregnancy. Glad to hear that all is well!

So glad to hear that everything is going well. Don't feel bad about the updates, I just realized I hadn't updated my journal since 17 weeks and I'm at 33 with you!

Can't believe you are already 33 weeks! I agree, don't worry about the updates - you have lots of other things to do. Good luck!
Rachm
Sometimes things are quieter in our lives and there is not a lot to update on. Also, as you mentioned, you are getting ready to have a baby and that would keep anyone busy and make them tired. I am so happy to hear you are doing well and that you do not need bed rest. I can't wait to see the pics of the nursery! It is still hard to believe it has been 33 weeks already! :-) I hope you have a fantastic time on Saturday. Enjoy yourself because you deserve it! {{{BIG HUGS}}}

So exciting!! It's getting closer and closer! I can't wait to see the nursery. You think you've been bad, just wait til the baby is here and then you really don't update your journal. I'm glad things are moving along ok!
