Elizabeth's Diary Entries

Diary Navigation:

May 27, 2004

First of all I would like to thank the people who have posted messages to me, I also ask that they be patient because I have not figured out how to respond to them, I did on one and it came up as anonomous, so as soon as I figure it out I will respond. Those messages all warmed my heart and brought a smile to my face.

I am 34 weeks pregnant today..... yeah!!! I had an appointment with the midwife on Tuesday and she said the baby seems small but that could have to do with the fact that the baby is well engaged in my pelvis - is this good or bad I don't know. Upon a more invasive exam using 2 fingers (although it always feels like more as my cervix is tilted back, and according to a DR/Nurse in Labor and Delivery I have the "smallest you know what they have ever seen"!! I did say thank you for that boost of confidence and made a mental note to put that on my dating resume) :) she said the baby was down but wasn't as far down as she thought he would be, she thought she would be able to feel his head (Yuck)!!

They sent me off to the NST, for antepartum testing, baby Joshua decided to slumber his way through the test, although his heartbeat seemed fine. I did almost have a heart attack when the machine stopped for a minute or two, I thought his heart had stopped beating and was paniky. The nice nurse came over, hit the machine a few times and wala it started working again. I have to do testing 2 times a week starting on tuesday, and on a positive note they said when I reach 37 weeks they will strip my membranes when I come in. Cool, thats only 3 more weeks to go!!

My parents -
Generally I call them everyday as Allie likes to talk to them on my cell phone on our way home from her daycare. Its nice because she is strapped in the carseat and therefore cannot wander around. But after the little attitude I got from my dad on Saturday I haven't had her call, and you know what they haven't once called me. It is thursday and they haven;t once called to see whats up, if I am ok or whatever. I will be calling my mom tomorrow to wish her a happy birthday but am dreading that because I would really like to see how long it takes for them to call.
Also when I was calling them they constantly were telling me about the baby this and the baby that that they had picked up at garage sales and from friends to keep at their house and whatever, but at no time have they once asked if there was anything I needed them to pick up, they missed my baby shower and didn't send a card or a gift. I am not sure if I am more disapointed/sad or angry with them. Also my only sibling my sister decided to blow off my shower to go to meet her new boyfriends grandmother. And my shower was just a small get together nothing huge so they were all missed.

Tomorrow is my last day at work and then it is home bound for me, I will keep allie in daycare and pull her out one or two days a week to spend time with me but for now all I want is to sleep.

I will be wanting to get rid of all my maternity clothes soon, so please let me know if you or anybody you know is interested. I went a little crazy on the shopping and have TONS of stuff, all from motherhood, gap, old navy and japanese weekend. All smalls and mediums. Will send photos too!!

Bless you all

Liz
