36 weeks....

HOLY COW! I can't believe I'm 36 weeks already! Man, time flies by when you have to chase after 2 little ones. I'm gonna be completely honest in this post. Not to complain, but to document. This last week has been REALLY rough. Monday I went into the Dr. for a normal prenatal visit. I told her I was having some bad pain in my lower abdomen. They tested for a UTI, but wouldn't get the results for 2 days. She told me to go to the hospital if it got worse. Well, the rest of the day I wasn't able to function. Luckily I live by my parents and was able to crash at their house while my kids were being taken care of. That night I put the kids in bed at my parents and headed to the hopital. After 1 1/2 hours of monitoring, and a urine analysis (sorry if it's TMI) the nurse came back in, said I was fine & could go home. I asked why I was in pain and she said "It could be muscles, ligaments, the baby's head pushing on something. It will only get worse with every pregnancy." Great. So I left the hospital feeling like I was crazy. I tried to tuff through the week, but Thursday was unbearable. I again crashed at my parents house, called the Dr. and was told just to take it easy and put heat on my stomach. (the worst days of course landed when Glenn had school) Yesterday my awesome husband called in sick to work (which he RARELY does) and took Dallin to his sports class, then took them to Ikea to play, and of course shop. I spent the whole day on the couch with my book, and the TV. It was great. I am feeling much better now, but can tell that the pain is not too far away. We have concluded that the baby has dropped putting pressure on my ab muscles causing spasms & some muscles to be pulled. Fun stuff! I sure hope this kid doesn't want to stay in too much longer. After all, 1 more week and I'm considered full term! Woohoo!!!! But I want to publicly thank my Mom for all she has done for me this week. My friends who helped clean my house, or bring me an awesome lunch. And Glenn for taking over our household. I am surrounded by awesomely amazing people!!!!!
