Week 31

Today has been a hard day.

My nausea came back and the Zofran only helped for a short time (I also only have one left and need a refill.. I was hoping I wouldn't need it anymore.)

I tried really hard to make it through work, I only made it until 1:00. I got too sick, uncomfortable and felt the need to lay down.  The baby has finally met my ribcage, so sewing in a hunched position (which happens often when you have to lean over your pencil markings) really took a toll and became extremely painful to sit in my chair. Not to mention my tailbone, which still feels as though I am sitting on a knife. I'm going to try and bring an extra cushion for my chair tomorrow, even though the chairs are padded in the first place.

I cannot describe how good it felt to lay down when I got home. I could've cried (and did), it felt so nice.

I keep reminding myself that I only have roughly two months left of this, and it's not all bad. I am extremely excited to have the baby, thinking about holding him makes me feel so happy. I also love it when he moves, which he did often today.

I think I did too much over the weekend. It was full of making our home ready for the baby (new carpet, room painting, crib setup, new furniture). I have been having light abdominal pain, mainly when I bend over, but this is apparently normal because I did so much. It's not severe and it's not constant and the baby is going through a growth spurt which makes the area tender in the first place. I'm going to talk to my doctor about it on Friday.

Just not sure what to do to make it through the day when I start to feel awful and all I want to do is go to bed.

Also, Baby classes last week:
All About Babies- Fun, we learned a lot, the teacher was great!
Childbirth Class #1- Teacher seems biased towards natural birth, I felt a little uncomfortable in class. I embarrassed myself by sobbing once we started the relaxation techniques (they've never really worked for me..) and I had to step out of class. The teacher also made a pitch about stress and 'don't be stressed cause it's bad' which, for a person with anxiety who already worries about how their anxiety/stress affects the baby, this is a very bad way to approach the issue. Just saying "don't do it" does not help the situation, and I again felt uncomfortable in class (and started crying). We have class #2 (of 4) on Thursday and I am going to see how it goes, but if I don't feel comfortable in the atmosphere, I don't know if we'll be going back...
