I dont know if you can tell by this pic, but I have gotten even bigger this week (week 29). How am I feeling? Um, uncomfortable as hell! My lastest problem is sleep apnea...which I self diagnosed myself with. I kept my husband up all night last Sunday because he said I was breathing really loudly and then suddenly I would stop breathing and then gasp for air. Apparently this went on all night long and he was one grumpy papa-to-be on Monday morning. So on Monday night I tried wearing these off-brand nose strips that I had bought earlier in my pregnancy. If there is one lesson to learn from today's post it is to NEVER use off-brand nose strips. First off...they dont stay on your nose all night and then the next morning you are left with a layer of glue that only gasoline can remove. I didnt actually remove it with gas...but I figured that since not even rubbing alcohol would take it off, then it was probably only gasoline that would really do the trick. On Tuesday my sister insisted I need to tell my midwife what was going on since lack of oxygen for me meant a lack of oxygen for the baby. I called my midwife who told me that it was "not a pregnancy related problem". I am confused by her logic since in my opinion just the fact that I am pregnant, especially in my 3rd trimester, would mean that any medical problem I am having would be considered pregnancy related...duh. She told me to call my primary doctor and see if I should be referred to a sleep center. I did that...and never got a call back. I took matters into my own hands and went to CVS after work and got some Saline nose spray and some actual Breathe Right strips. I am happy to report that it worked! Aaron said I didnt wake him up not once during the night and I slept the whole night through (besides tossing and turning to get this belly situated). Oh, and not only did the strips stay on all night...there was no leftover glue to piss me off the next morning. Bam!
Anywho, the next thing coming up on our schedule is our 3D sonogram on Sunday. This is the sonogram where we get to see what this little jumping bean looks like! I am so excited. I already know from the first sonogram that she only has one head, so that's a relief. Now I just have to worry about her having a proper nose and lips. The weekend after that I have Breastfeeding class (yay, so fun!). I am just hoping it doesnt involve me having to expose myself. Aaron and I have already gone to 2 out of our 6 birthing classes and I have to admit, they are kinda scary. In last week's visit we saw the infamous birth video, which I have to say, the instructor didnt properly prepare us for. It started with a woman talking about pregnancy and then BAM, all of a sudden we see a close up of her...birthing region....and it was a little jarring. Aaron surprisingly didnt even flinch, while I was busy covering my eyes and going "oooh God!". He says he was happy he saw it, while I actually walked away wishing I hadn't.
Other than that, I have just continued on my quest for the cutest nursery. I forgot to put this in my last post, but I had a wall decal customized to go over Cora's bed. Here is what it will look like (except the wall will be painted a very light lavender).
Also, I am glad I didnt buy the rug in my last post because my sister found one way cuter and thankfully I purchased it right before they sold out.
And last, but not least, my Dad and his wife Carol are going to get us the crib I want! So excited that everything is coming together. Cant wait until I can show you a pic of the final product.
Until next week...Bye!
nice!
