Baby update

I had my drs visit on Thursday (yesterday). It was good, had several questions that she was able to answer for me.

Everything is still measuring out as normal, turns out last time I went in I was measuring as big due to the baby's position. :) His butt must have been sticking out or something, unless he has inherited mine, then he's just got a big butt period. :)

It was interesting trying to get the heartbeat this time. It was really faint (for me anyway), but we could only hear it for a brief second a couple of times because of how much he was moving! He kept moving so all you kept hearing were these static like noises as if you take you finger and brush it across the top of microphone. It was pretty cool, and she wasn't too worried about not getting a good solid heart beat sound in if he was moving that much :)

I seem to possibly be running into thyroid problems again. I'm just constantly tired all the time. I know it's normal to be excessively tired in the third trimester, but this is ridiculous. I sleep through the night without ever waking up to go the bathroom or from any movements from the baby. I sleep like a rock. The only time I ever do wake up is because my arm or leg or hand is numb from laying on it for way too long. Even then, I'm only awake for a brief second (or 5 as it takes awhile to roll over at this point....shifting all that belly weight over!). So not do I only sleep through the night peacefully, I also get about 10-12 hours of sleep EVERY night, that's just the part where I sleep through it. I also tend to take 30 minute to 2 hour naps during the day when I get home from work. I STILL feel tired after this, so I personally think it's a bit excessive, and my doctor does as well. They did call last night, but I was unfortunately in class so I haven't heard the results on it yet. They're not in on Fridays either, or the weekend, so I'll have to wait for them to call me back on Monday.

I also asked her about this tendonitis, and she said pretty much what I had guessed. My tendonitis had started acting up when I got the shingles because of swelling around the area, and the swollen lymph node. Unfortunately, the swelling has only gone down a little bit, so there's still swelling in all the areas of where I get tendonitis. Again, not much I can do about it, cept wear wrist braces. That's right, braces, I've got it bad in both wrists, but it's really bad in my fingers on my left hand. Thankfully that's my non-dominant hand.

Back in January, I started getting this wart, which I thought at the time was a callus, and thus left it alone. Byt the time we left to Brazil, it had grown a bit, but I thought I could be imagining it, or that it was just major callus building up. So I filed it down after I got back from Brazil, but it almost immediately started bleeding. That's when I finally accepted that it was a wart. I figured I could wait out for the rest of the pregnancy and get it taken care of after the pregnancy since it wasn't in a dangerous risky area, thank heavens. However, it's been getting bigger and bigger, and starting to catch to the floor, socks, shoes, anything that myfoot moves against (even my sheets!). There were also warts starting to show up below the "big" one I had across the ball of my foot. So I had the first treatment of liquid nitrogen, and dang baby, that hurts. Turns out, the "big" wart is a cluster of 12 warts, 4 warts in the middle in a line, and 8 warts surrounding it. Then there's five more along the ball of my foot. it also seems to be that the cluster I have, is warts on top of warts. So I'll probably need at least two more treatments of liquid nitrogen to get them all frozen off. So I'll be going in once a month for that for the time being. Lovely. it just really really hurts is all.

other than that, everything is going well. No excessive swelling anywhere (besides tendonitis swelling), no nausea, no back pains, no other bodily pains other than the foot with warts, and wrists/fingers.

The baby is still moving a ton, I can sit down and stare at my tummy for a long period of time sometimes and see the constant moving that's going on in my belly. It's quite fun to watch, and totally surreal. I'm excited for Bryan to get and experience this kind of movement for himself. Only 18 more days :) (which is awesome considering it's been 76 days!).
