How Far Along Are You? 29w4d

What's Up Physically This Week? I feel HUGE. Like I went from just feeling kinda pregnant to feeling like a whale. This is accompanied by heartburn, indigestion and a general awkwardness. Also the swelling is starting to kill me. No matter how little I've done over the course of the day, in the evenings I have to lay down and put my feet up because they swell so large it hurts. Never had this problem the last two times, and my BP is normal, so it's not a sign of any issues, it's just annoying.

What's Up Emotionally & Mentally This Week? Feeling good, getting so excited to meet our new little one! Seriously, I could start ricocheting off walls at any time.

What Are You Reading - Books, Magazines, Web Sites? Nothing, still haven't had a chance to replenish my novel supplies.

Random Things Of Note? I'm on a knitting binge. In the last 4 days I've finished 2 projects (one of which had been languishing since the spring unfinished!) and started a third, which is more than half done, tho I think I may

LOL! I went to cut Patrick's hair last night, and ended up covered in more hair than he did because my belly was in the way! I just stick waaaaaaaay out! Our shower is a stand up little square, and if we shower together, it's comical when we try to switch places because I've got so much belly!

Knitting makes me happy. :)

What's Up Physically This Week? Bedrest. Spent last Sun/Mon night and 1/2 of Tues in the hospital for HBP. Not fun. It's still high, so here I am, for the duration.

What's Up Emotionally & Mentally This Week? Aggrivation at the HBP and bedrest, worries a/b preterm delivery.

What Are You Reading - Books, Magazines, Web Sites? Researching peds in my area.

Random Things Of Note? Pretty sure this babe is coming early. I just hope he waits til mid/late Oct.

They showed a child-birthing video in my class too and it kind of scared the shit out of me. I am going to try and do natural but am not opposed to meds and it scared the shit out of me and made me feel like there is no way I can do that without medication but I really really just dont know.

Where are you from? I saw that you said you're going up to DC , just wondering if you're anywhere near me... I live a couple of hours from there in Newport News, VA.

I'm in Boston. It's a weird New England thing...down to Maine, up to DC...we have direction dyslexia.

Oh man...if they show a video of ANY kind of birth in our class, Tony will probably leave the room :P

What's Up Physically This Week? Bedrest, due to HBP. Spent Mon am/night in the hospital, discharged on Tues. Also went the weekend before last for HBP, but they didn't keep me then. Upped my meds, but it only worked for a week. More upping, plus adding a second med, one that makes me really groggy, ugh. Ah, well, you do what you have to. At the latest NST, this am, babe is doing great! Excellent heartrate and movement, so that's a relief.

What's Up Emotionally & Mentally This Week? Aggrivation at the HBP and bedrest, and concern about preterm delivery.

Random Things Of Note? Pretty sure this babe is coming early. I just hope I can make it/keep him in there til Mid/late Oct.
