29/30 Week Appointment

I had my 29/30 week appointment yesterday at 29w, 3d pregnant. Everything was just fine. Blood pressure 56/112, 5 lbs gained (YUCK), and 145 bpm for Miles. From my last appointment they had already told me that I passed the Gestational Diabetes test, but my count was low for Iron/Anemia so I would need to start Iron supplements (another YUCK). I wasn't surprised about the anemia since I was anemic with Brenden and Rylan as well.

The doctor asked how I was doing and I gave a VERY unconvincing fine. He asked if there was anything in particular, but its all the same crap that I know is just part of pregnancy. He assured me that everything looked good, but it really doesn't matter. The fact is: I'm just not the happy pregnant woman. I don't have the "Oh the joys of pregnancy....What a wonderful joy.....Blah, blah, blah, blah" attitude. I hurt constantly, I'm exhausted, and I have awful mood swings. I know this is par for the course for pregnancy, but I don't like it AT ALL. I like the end result, but if it were up to me pregnancy would last about one month. And I'm really hoping that Miles continues the trend of early births so I never have find out what the full 40 weeks (or more) is like. I've already told Chris that if I don't deliver by 38 weeks I'll likely go insane.....Hear that Miles? Momma needs another early baby! :) And now that the Holidays are truly upon us I know this is all going to get more stressful and exhausting.....Here's hoping for only 6-7 more weeks instead of 10! And don't forget to make your own guess for how much longer this misery is going to last ;)

And here are the lovely belly pictures - and its quite the belly! :)
