I’ve been really bad at keeping up with the updates with baby #2, things have just been so hectic lately and im all over the place which is why I thought I’d sit down for a moment and write whats been going on.
As of today, I am 37+3 weeks pregnant. These weeks need to slow down as they are just flying by. As much as i cant wait for him to be in my arms i am enjoying every minute i get to spend with nathaniel being the only child. This pregnancy has been no walk in the park, aside from having little to no symptoms like morning sickness, heartburn or weird cravings. I am in a lot of excruciating pain when walking or sitting for too long, the pain in is my vagina like it honestly feels like someone is punching me as hard as they possibly can. My sex drive has gone out the window and im feeling VERY self conscious about it and very insecure about my body, to the point where I feel like im pushing J away and hes going to find it elsewhere ( he’s a bouncer at a nightclub so hes around attractive girls all night, and i also found out that hes been texting other girls). I know I need to sit down and talk to him about how im feeling I just hate bringing it up because I don’t want to sound like a jealous girlfriend, like I honestly don’t mind him talking to other girls but when it comes to him hiding things from me, and being all protective over his phone than it become a big issue ( like it is now)
With this pregnancy I also found out that I am gestational diabetic, i unfortunatly wasnt able to control it just by diet control I am now taking insulin 4 times a day and also testing my sugars 4 times a day all while trying to watch what I eat and not eat too much junk ( I LOVE SOUR CANDIES). Nathaniel is so protective over his momma and gets very whinney/ all up in my face when im taking the insulin or checking my sugars. As soon as I open the bag that has everything inside he is running over to me and starts whinning, I always have to remind him that mommy is okay and she is just taking her medicine. I find it so heartwarming that he is like this at such a young age. Even when we go to my doctors appointments and im laying on the bed waiting to hear the heartbeat or be measured Nathaniel has to be right up next to me making sure I am okay <3
I will be having a repeat c-section since the boys will be 18 months apart, I really wanted to try for a VBAC but in all honesty I just want whats safest for both me and baby. My due date is Feb 17 and they have me scheduled for the c-section on Feb 15th. I was nervous about it being so close to my actual due date because Nathaniel was born 5 days early so I have it stuck in my head that this baby will be early as well ( crossing my fingers he stays put until the 15th) I was also reading that when you have Gestational Diabetes they normally do the c-section at 38 weeks, but my OBGYN isnt that concerned so I guess I shouldnt be either. I went for an ultrasound yesterday ( Jan 29th) to see how big baby is and he is weighing 7lbs right now and is looking pretty chunky which I absolutley love! I love chunky babies!!
That is all for now. I really want to post more but i can never find the time to sit down and write it all out. My goal is to try harder!
