34 weeks!!🎉 This is a huge mental milestone for me. With Aubrey, I went into preterm labor the day I hit 34 weeks and fought everyday from then on to keep her in there so I've been super paranoid about getting to this point and continuing on with no issues. Aside from the normal discomforts that come with being almost 9 months pregnant, I'm feeling pretty good. I can't wait to meet my sweet Hazel but I can wait at least 3 more weeks.

Officially hit 34 weeks today! Just 6 more weeks until bub gets here 😍💕 I spent the day shopping for baby shower stuff with my maw-in-law, but we only made it to three stores before I had to call it quits 😫 August in South Mississippi is no dang joke and even though I drank a well worth of water I still got overheated and had to go lie down. C made me breakfast for dinner while I napped and I woke up to the smell of bacon, and if that's not love i don't know what is 😭💕 I got three dresses today too! A maxi dress to wear around because leggings are hot and leg shaving is for the birds, a cute dress for the baby shower and a pretty flowy white dress for maternity pictures 😍💕 and yes, I'm going super cliche and I'm gonna take them in a field with a pretty flower crown 😋 Bubs been kicking all day and rolling so I think he's excited to make his arrival soon! Let's hope he holds out until after the shower 😂

Appointment Update!

Alright, so my appointment wasn't ANYTHING I thought it was going to be. However, that isn't necessarily a bad thing, as we got good news! There was no growth scan nor a checking of my cervical length; instead I had a biophysical profile done today. Avia is looking fantastic and healthy; the woman who did the ultrasound kept saying over and over how great of a baby she looked. Honestly, my heart soared to hear that. There's no better news than that!! I'll post a 3d picture I got in a little bit; she wasn't too cooperative but you can kind of see her face *and little chubby looking cheeks*

After the biophysical profile, I talked to the doctor who then told me they weren't going to be checking for cervical length anymore. Even though I am continuing to thin, they said that they are just going to let it happen. If it thins completely, my water will break and I will go into labor, which they said they are going to allow to happen. 34 weeks is apparently magical as she said, in the fact that if my water breaks or I go into active labor, they will not stop labor. This is also the reason why she told me the contraction stopping medication they gave me in the hospital, she would like me to wean myself off (I take it every six hours) and eventually completely take myself off. She said if labor is wanting to occur, they're going to let it. I'm still on bed rest though. It appears that one I'm going to be on until Avia enters this world.

On the plus side, I gained 3lbs in the past week. WOOHOO! I'm now at a 15 lb weight gain for my pregnancy, weighing in at 111 lbs. That makes me very happy to hear as gaining weight has been such a struggle. I'm hoping that with this weight gain in the past week though, that Avia's gained weight too!

Next appointment is this Friday for another biophysical profile. Thank you for all the well wishes and for caring so much, my wonderful followers. :) It seriously means a lot to me.

34 weeks pregnant today.

Last night was a long night. I woke up several times from the small contractions I'm still having and was in so much discomfort from them, or the overall soreness I was feeling when I wasn't having them. I have an insane amount of pelvic pressure and pain going on too, and overall I just feel terrible this morning.

Heading out in a bit for Avia's appointment soon. I know they'll be doing a growth scan to see if she's grown at all and if so how much, they'll be checking to see if my cervix has thinned and if so, how much since they last checked (on Saturday when I was in the hospital it had thinned to 2.4cm), and to see what we're all going to do going forward from here on out with everything. 

I'm really hoping for nothing but good things.
