38 wks prego and lots going on....

Terrace and I had a great time at a birthday party at jungle playland (a large indoor play structure) yesterday and my body is not appreciating it today. Heading to bed last night my pelvis was in sooo much pain and it is now hard to walk. I thought I really did something wrong but after talking to the doctor today and some recently pregnant friends I am finding out this is common. My activity yesterday encouraged his head down further into my pelvis and I now OFFICIALLY UNCOMFORTABLE! I don't think I got this pelvis pain with TJ and it is NO FUN!

Other news: I am now at 2 cm and may (big maybe) be possibly showing early signs of preeclampsia. My BP was a little high and my proteins are up. I go back on Tuesday and the doctor will most likely scrape my cervix which may start labor. He encouraged me to stay active through the pain which is hard to avoid anyway with a 2 yr old. Baby is still posterior which I knew bc I can feel everyone movement he makes. My doctor did not say it right out but I think they are expecting this baby to be about the same size as TJ. He knows that I am nervous about a big baby that is posterior but talked to me alot about how I am still a great canidate for a VBAC and will hopefully avoid a c-section. Because I had a c-section the first time they will not induce me.

It is VERY exciting to think that he (yes we still need to secure a name and spelling) could be here next week or very soon but I am also feeling like we have a lot to get done. My hormones have taken over and I have a long list for Brad to help with. He has part of today off and tomorrow off and then he is working pretty much everyday until early June (besides the time off for the baby). Really, we are ready for baby to be here and I think after we get some stuff accomplished tomorrow I will feel ALOT better. excited and nervous all at the same time

My friend Maria is coming up next week to visit for a couple days and then my parents will be up next weekend to celebrate their birthdays...maybe sooner to take care of TJ if baby decides he is ready. I think that is all for now. Thank you to everyone for checking in on us and keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.

here is a picture from a couple weeks ago. Terrace really wants to be in "princess dresses" all the time so she can dance. She says we can't spin unless we have our dresses on. She was VERY excited when I pulled out my pregnancy bridesmaid dress from 2006. We had fun dancing around!
