33 Week apt

Yeserday I told the doctor about how I was feeling yesterday and how my back was hurting and my belly kept being tight most of the day. He wanted me to stay home from work today, but I really can't because of my leave situation. I may go home early today though if I feel worse. He said I am looking very swollen and my 5 lb weight gain since 2 weeks ago is probably water retention. He said I need to be laying down on my left side more, but I told him that I do on my 2 breaks and when I get home, but that I work so I can't. He said it is important for me to make it at least another 2 weeks. That kinda scared me cause I don't know if he thinks I am going to go early or what! So he wants me to take it easy, and lie down most of the weekend. We have our birthing class on Saturday, which he said was fine for me to go to.

I guess the results from my sonogram came back and they said Quinn is in the 63rd% for growth and they want to keep an eye on me to make sure he and I are not getting too big. My diabetes test was negative though, so that is not a factor. I am starting to get a little freaked out because I am not ready to go into labor yet! I guess cause you figure you have til a certain date, but that is not really the case. With him talking all this talk about me taking it easy and making it through the next 2 weeks at least it has me worried...plus I kept getting Braxton Hicks contractions all last night. My belly was hard most of the day yesterday. I guess I really just need to realize that the dirty house can wait and just lie down and relax. That is just so hard to do sometimes when you see mounds of dirty dishes, dirty bathroom, floor, laundry, etc.

Quinns Heartbeat has dropped to the 130s/120s but they said that is normal for how far along we are. The bigger they get the slower their heartrate usually gets. I guess that is about all. I just feel like crud and was up last night with heartburn again, even despite my medicine for it. I had to actually sit up in bed for over an hour just to alleviate it a bit. :( So, pretty much I am miserable and it is probably not going to get any better from here on out. Blah. sorry so bitter today!
