I was so proud of myself for keeping up with this at the beginning but I have been so slammed when I think about getting on to update something else has to be done. (pregnancy brain doesn't help either!)
so to update (from memory...ha!) Vernon & I attended the child birth class last weekend and we actually enjoyed ourselves and learned ALOT! After taking the class and seeing the different inventions that labor sometimes take- we decided that we would try super hard to have an all natural birth- I am going to try very hard to just "suffer" through and just think about Macyn and her health (as well as mine!)
BUT then I went to the doctor this week (31 weeks) and was told she is still measuring large and we will do a sonogram at 36-37 weeks to determine "labor decisions" ....when asking OB said they may induce me at 38-39 weeks or a c-section may be best. =/ We aren't sure how we feel...I def want to try to go into labor on my own but I don't want to hold her in for 41-42 weeks and have a 12 lb baby either!
I've done a little research and I think I will begin using primrose oil at 36 weeks to see if I can "help" myself go into natural labor before getting induced. I also am gunna try other methods...in 5 more weeks.
I can't believe she will be here within 8-10 weeks..it's super scary because I feel very unprepared. I have many things I have to do at school and at home before she is here but I know once she is here..everything will be perfect!
I can't wait to see her!! I know she will be so perfect! <3 and worth all this pain I am feeling.
I knew that I would be in pain..but my back/hip/leg pain is pretty awful. Thankfully I am about to start prenatal massages and praying they help!
How far along? 31 weeks and 3 days!! 61 more days left!! (til her due date atleast)

Maternity clothes?are starting to get tight/short! Don't wanna buy any more but growing out of them for sure and still have atleast 2 more months!

Best moment this week: learning we are going to see Macyn in about 5-6 weeks! :) and getting approved for my prenatal massage :)
