So, the last couple weeks have been interesting. We had our 28 week appointment a couple weeks ago and both of us were healthy! Baby was in the correct position (hooray!) so let's hope she stays that way.
Week 29 has been a little rough. I am just so stinking tired this week. Pretty much all I do is sleep...wake to eat...then sleep. I'm my own little newborn! To give you an idea of my sleep patterns here is what happened Tues-Thurs These are rough estimates from memory but you'll get the idea.
Tues: Bed at 11pm
Weds: Woke at 2pm (did not wake up once before that). Bed at 11pm.
Thurs: Woke at 11am. Nap 12pm-2pm. Lunch. Nap from 3pm to 7:15pm. Bed at 11.
It's crazy how much I'm able to sleep. I'm sort of grateful for it because many women find sleep hard to come by in their 3T. But at the same time...sleeping so much means my other responsibilities and obligations suffer a little. It really is just so strange. I'm wondering if baby girl is just going through a growth spurt this week and taking up some of my energy.
Our next appointment is on Monday. Have I mentioned how much I simply love our care provider? I love our midwives, I love our birth center. When you walk in you're the only patient there. No waiting. No being tossed around different people. Just personalized care and attention. I love how different it feels than normal doctor's office environments where it can feel like you're in a system or a machine. I'm so glad we chose an out-of-hospital birth. It was the right choice for us. I feel safe there, confident, empowered. It really is just such a great environment.
