OK, so I haven't posted anything in a while. I guess I've been so lazy. Laying around in bed all day long is a very exhausting process. So, we had our 34 week appointment yesterday and we actually got to have another ultrasound and we got to see our sweet Addison probably for the last time before she is born. The ultrasound is estimating that her approx weight is about 5lbs 4oz as of right now. I now get to start going to the Dr every week. Its sort of surreal, I've never made it this far, and I'm not really sure what to expect yet.
The Dr's are telling me that I can stop the medicine and the at home monitor at 36 weeks. WAHOO!!! That means I get to get out of bed, and be normal again. When I was first told about bed rest, I really thought, that it would be wonderful. I can stay in bed all day long, and watch TV. I hate that I felt that way. Bed rest is horrible. I don't know how the women who end up on bed rest in the hospital do it. Being at home is hard enough.
I'm starting to worry about the process of Labor itself. Last time, it all happened so fast, that it all seems like a dream. I am hoping to attempt a VBAC. I've already signed all the appropriate papers. Of course I did tell my Dr. that if I needed a c-section for the safety of the baby or myself, then do the c-section, but she is optimistic that I'll do fine during the labor process. I'll post the latest ultrasound pictures as soon as I can get a chance to scan them.
I do see a light at the end of the tunnel, but it still seems so far away!
