Snow Day

Today is our first snow day. It makes for a long, boring day when I am not motivated to do much due to the fact that I am uncomfortable most of the time now. I really don't know what happened, but as soon as 31 weeks came along I became very uncomfortable. It is a complete chore to move from sitting to standing, roll over in the bed, tie my shoes- you name it and it is just a pain to do. Luckily I am still sleeping pretty well, I just have to contend with the frequent bathroom breaks during the night. I don't know how Marty sleeps though me getting in and out of bed but it doesn't seem to bother him a bit.

It was nice to go back to school after a two week break. Everyone has been so nice- Valerie told me that I had really blossomed over the break :) The kids are really curious now too. Students that I don't even know are asking me questions about when I am due and how I am feeling and it is a boy or girl. One of my students said to me- Mrs. Williams, when are you supposed to have that baby? I said, March 6th is my due date!! He laughed and shook his head, no, you'll never make it!!! His prediction is Valentine's Day- or as he said it Valentime's. I hope he is wrong because even as uncomfortable as I am, Sophia needs to come as close to her due date as possible.

Yesterday, I saw Dr. Voss. All was good it seemed, he said that my numbness on the tops of my feet is caused by the swelling in my legs. My blood pressure is ok, and my glucose readings are good! I return to see him in 2 weeks. At this time, I have a fetal non-stress test to check Sophia's movements and her heart rate when she does move. Like I have said before, she moves a lot at night (after dinner) and not too much during the day. The nurse told me if she didn't cooperate then they would get her moving by ringing a cow bell!!! How funny! All in all, we are moving along in the right direction! March will be here before we know it!
