The my due date is approaching fast. In a couple more weeks i'll see my little girl. Though i'm very anxious to get to that date, i'm feeling a little under the weather today. I feel like i'm getting a cold, which sucks coz i really don't know what i can and can't have. Ruth said that it would be okay if i had benadryl or sudafed. Hopefully i get better quick coz i don't want to be sick when i go into labor.

I was in the hospital again last night. I had this throbbing headache since Sunday night. Tylenol was not doing the job, and it would not go away. When i couldn't take it anymore, i called L&D, and they told me to come in. I came in at almost 12:30 Monday morning. They put me on the monitor again, and after an hour, they decided they wanted to keep me for observation for a couple of hours. They moved me into one of the labor suites. They ran some labs on me, and gave me some vicodin to help ease the pain from the headache.

The room was nice and dim, and very quiet. The only thing i could hear was tai snoring his ass off on the couch. But i drowned him out and was finally able to get some sleep after i had some vicodin. When i woke up a while after, my headache was finally gone. I was discharged around 4 am.

I came into my appt today with Dr. Dong. She measured my tummy, and listened to the baby's heart. For some reason, she left the doppler on my stomach for a lot longer than usual. She told me that her heart beat was a little fast. She was concerned so she decided to send me to L&D to be put on the monitor for a while. Her heart beat was in the 180s.

So I went to the hospital and was hooked on to all sorts of machines. It wasn't long until they noticed that my baby was fine. They said she looked perfect on the monitor. I was only there for about an hour.

Today they gave me a dvd at the clinic about how to care for my baby. It's nothing that i didn't already know, so it was all old news. I'm still gaining weight. I can't wait to give birth so that i can see my baby and get all of this weight off of me. I'm counting down...

OUCH!

I've been having a lot of pain in my pubic bone area. It hurts to walk sometimes, and so hard to get out of bed. I'm thinking it's because her head is dropping and there's a lot more pressure in that area. I've also read that during pregnancy, everything is more elastic in that area because your body is preparing for labor and birth.
