Hi everyone!

34 weeks and 1 day!!! I can't believe time has passed so quickly!!!!

Sterling's heart rate is 154 which is good! I'm measuring 38 centimeters which is a bit big. I'm scheduled for an ultrasound at my next appointment which is in 2 weeks!! YAY I'm in the 2 week club now! The ultrasound is to check on his size and to see if he still is in breech position which we are pretty sure he is. Depending on those two things we will have to see if I'll need a c-section or not and when I can schedule it. If I need to have one I'm going to have it done on June 28th if at all possible - that will be Clive and mines 2 yr anniversary of meeting each other 🙂 My blood pressure was great as it usually is. They picked my finger to check on my iron and that is good so I only have to take my iron pills every couple of days. As you may remember from my last appointment I had to start testing my blood - well the numbers were good other than a couple times when I was a bit stressed out and they went high so I got a break for my poor fingers this week. Only thing I had wrong was tendonitis in my wrist. My wrist has been killing me for about 3 weeks so I mentioned it and that's all it is, but the bad part is that the best thing for it is Motrin/Ibruprofen and that's a no no to take while preggers and tylenol doesn't touch the pain blahhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol

So great appointment and looking forward to the next one at 36 weeks!!! weeeeeeee 🙂

Hugs everyone!

Go C-section for Clive's sake. He'll appreciate that his precious 'love tunnel' wasn't stretched to it's limits.

And shame on me for saying that. I have no shame, do I?

All joking aside Liz, glad to hear that Mr. Sterling and Mommy are doing dandy!

You think a little wrist pain is bad? Just wait'll you're getting very little sleep because homeboy wants to suckle every couple hours...

Sounds like things are going very well. Not too much longer till he makes his debut. Glad to hear you get to take a break on the fingers. I'm sure that was getting old fast.

You have probably tried it already, but can you splint your wrist to try to help? It's best to try not to take anything--even the approved stuff. But you already knew that.

I guess if you go for the c-section, I won't win the contest. 😞 LOL.

DrMaddVibe---

Not to be gross, but imagine a head 14 *inches* in diameter trying to get through a space of 10 *centimeters*--not fun. I guess you could compare that to a watermelon and a keyhole. LOL.

LMAO @ Uncle Shawn! tff!

Cigarwidow - if I do have a c-section we are thinking of doing a guess the weight contest instead of day and time lol I guess we should have done that to begin with since I knew Sterling was breech still, but there's still a chance he'll move to the proper position, we'll have to wait till June 8th when I have my ultrasound then we'll have a better handle on things.

As for if it is like passing a watermelon through a keyhole I don't know - that's for those ladies on the board who have BTDT (been there, done that) LOL

Thanks for all the well wishes n stuff 🙂

Well pizza is almost here hehe another one of my cravings satisfied 🙂 funny I haven't had much cravings until this week least they are yummy cravings and not weird/yucky cravings lol

Hey Liz, you mean like sour Mango and shrimp paste, also known as bagoong?

My wife used to eat that regularly while she was pregnant, but she's filipina and eats weird sh*t anyway.

She kisses me after I smoke cigars... so I can't complain.

I've heard it described in a way that can be very enlightening... Grab your lower lip.... and pull it over your head.

Don't worry Liz. Not quite that bad. But if the guys try it, who am I to stop them.....

Actually, had an epidural with 2nd. Did not feel a thing, and Tank had to do most of the work pushing. 1st - different story, different time....

Glad to hear things are going well. We are thinking of you and wishing you the best.
