Shes born! So here the story about my pregnancy ends finally 🙂

By now she’s allready almost a month old and its about time I make a post here to update you guys about what happened.

So I went to the hospital on July 27th for that check-up that the midwife wanted on me. On the way there I wasn’t really feeling too great, I felt every tiny little sandstone that the wheels of my chair touched. Anyhow, The Midwife from the hospital called us in shortly after we got there and she asked me how things where going.. I said well.. I still have no baby XD, t would be nice if she would decide to come out cause its getting painful to walk in the house even a few meters.. Sleeping is getting a problem as well. Okay she said, lets have a look.

So I sit down in her chair/bed whatever those things are called and she checked on me. She quickly told me I allready had 3 cm opening and the mouth of the womb was weakened a lot all ready so if I wanted to and if there was a labor room free then they could break the membranes today give me some hormones that would start up contractions  and I most likely would hold my baby in my arms late this night. I looked at Antonio, we didn’t expected this, that was very sudden,  but as practical as I am and with my quick mind I didn’t needed to think long. Of course I wanted that! Antonio however wasn’t so quickly convinced it be the right choice. The Midwife made a call to see if there was a room free and there was. So she reserved the room for us and then she gave us some time to discuss it together. I was convinced all ready and I told Antonio how much more convenient this was. Having all ready 3 cm opening means the contractions might start tonight anyways, so then we would be at night having to call the midwife and wait for her to come and check if I could go to the hospital. IF the hospital that’s around the corner here has no room at that moment we need to find another hospital with place AND call a cab to get there.  Then we would have the chance it be raining too or that there be complications, etc etc etc.. So to me it was as clear as could be, it was better to get it started now. After talking for a bit about it and giving Antonio some time to think it over he too agreed although he was not 100% convinced. Back to the midwife we told her that we decided to do it. So she called that we where gonna come upstairs to the delivery room and she took care of all the paperwork.

First they did do a CTG scan on me and double checked me, they took some blood, checked my heartbeat, etc etc all the works… Then arround 6 pm after Antonio had returned from picking up my little suitcase with everything in it I could need for the delivery and to spend a night at the hospital, I was ready…

The midwife broke my membranes and shortly after that I started to get hard tummies.. There wheren’t many of those, they soon turned into training contractions and not much later they started to become real contractions.. They did not even gave me the hormones yet and I wasn’t going to need them anymore..  The contractions where hurting, and a lot.. really a lot!!! I was almost going through the roof from the pain. I didn’t wanted painkillers really because I simply don’t like being drugged especially not with my little daughter still in my womb.  The nurse keept telling me to puff the contractions away n to keep breathing etc etc..  But, I couldnt any longer.. I was going to have to push.. The nurse told me I couldn’t and to keep breathing in n out.  Seriously I had to push but no one listened to me really and keept telling me no..  I told her to go get the midwife to ask for painkiller because she was in another room helping another woman at that time.. While the nurse was gone I was alone with Antonio and I feelt with my hand because I was sure I was about to give birth.  And I feelt her head! The nurse came back right when another contraction started, The nurse keept telling me to breathe  and not to push.. I told her I was going to push…  And I did.. Just a little bit because I wanted to open  it up a little more down there before I would push all the way.   The midwife came in and I told her.. I’m pushing now.. Another contraction came and the nurse told me again not to, the midwife looked while I started pushing and she said Oh yes you can push now.. O.O I allready  was LOL  My girl wasnt going to stay inside any longer and there was nothing anyone could do about it. 3 pushes later and my girl was born.

And all this happened within 1 and a half hour after they broke the membranes. Talk about a speed delivery XD. She was perfectly healthy,  her apgar score was 10/10 right away, and sooo beautiful! They wrapped her in some sheet and blanky and put a little hat on her head so she wouldnt catch a cold and gave her to me. I started to cry the moment I saw her, I was so happy to hold her finally and that she was healthy and sooo pretty! The pain, I forgot about pretty fast, she was worth all the pain I gone through!

And ofcourse, here’s her picture. Its one of the first pictures we took and she has an adorable smile on it. 🙂

I never thought The baby would be later than my due date… But here we are.. 2 days after the due date and I still don’t hold her in my arms.. Everyone and me too ofcourse is waiting anxious  for her.  The house is now far enough ready to give her a nice home and place to sleep with us in our bedroom in her own new little bed, the funeral is behind us and we all think its time to welcome her into this world. But it looks like she’s comfortable inside there and don’t wanna come out yet…

She is moving a lot and everytime she turns her butt for as far as still possible its hurting me more and more.. well maybe not really hurting but it is absolutely not a nice feeling anymore, especially when she is moving in the lower parts of my tummy. My back is hurting more and more laying down is difficult and hard to find a comfortable way to lay. Sitting on the normal diner chair is at the moment the most comfortable. walking and standing is getting harder and harder.

Tomorow I have another appointment at the midwife and I am curious what she will have to say about it… Whenever I have news, ofcourse I will post it! Take care!!!

Midwife made an appointment for me at the hospital for the 27th of July, I will be 41 weeks pregnant exactly. The plan is that they will check if there is enough water in the womb and I will get a  ctg-scan. A CTG-scan registrates the action in my womb made by the baby and if I am having hard tummies. So far the news…

So I was wrong I thought my daughter to be born either july 6 or 8… its ok though as long as shes sound n save in my tummy its cool with me..

The warmth isnt bothering me that much but the thick feet are getting annoying, I would like to be able to wear my own shoes again or at least slippers instead of Antonios slippers… I look so stupid with those big slippers…

Last week we took the most likely last pictures of my pregnancy because I’m expecting to give birth any day now.

The work in the appartment is still not finished ofcourse.. Since Antonio is completely workign alone and with this heatwave that we have going thats no surprise But he is moving on slowly and  the floor in the living and kitchen is completely done.. Now hes working on the hallway and part of my daughters room since its gfonna be put all in one piece..  Then he moves further in the hallway toward our bedroom and then do our bedroom when the hallway is finished

Next week I likely will hear when we receive my daughters bed and Antonio can finish the floor in her room so the bed can stand there  and she finally can start unpacking her stuff little by little and get to play with her toys n wear all her clothes again instead of being limited to the few I have found back now XD

And ofcourse as soon as the floor in the bedroom is done, our new bed can finally be put together there too and ourcloset as well so we have access to all our clothes again as well..

AND THEN we have room in the storages again so we can at least order the rest of the furniture and start working on the babyroom… I do expect the baby has been born by then and she will have to sleep in our room at first but hey I wont be complaining to keep my newborn close :).

Well thats all for now ill be posting again soon 🙂

We are getting there… sooner or later this little giorl is going to want to come out and we will finally be able to hold her in our arms…

I hope ofcourse in the first place she will be all healthy like she seems to be right now… But secondly i also hope she will stay inside for just about 10 more days…

The house isnt ready… even though I am.. the house is not and that kinda makes me not comfortable at all..  We have her bed, her bath, her clothes her everything except her room.. Well we do have her room.. its just not finished.. at the moment me and Antonio are camping there on a supersize airbed.. I have had worse nights but its not really 100% comfortable, especially not to get in and out, which happens a couple times with me having to go to the restroom now more often since this little girl is adding more and more pressure on my bladder…

Talking about my bladder… I dont seem to have an bladderinfection anymore so thats a good thing…

After registering  with the new midwife she wanted to have me go to the hospital for an extra echo/ultrasound and extra blood tests too. She thought our girl might be a bit small but.. I really dont think shes that small.. shes  a little below average but not below the minimum and me and Antonio are neither very big so that really don’t surprise me.. At the hospital they thought everything was fine too and there was nothing unusual on the echo/ultrasound either but it was nice to see my little girl move again on the  screen…

I feel her all the time, shes very active and barely ever I have to wonder if shes ok in there… My tummy stays nice n soft so up to this point I have no reasons to believe shes having any troubles or that my body has any troubles… I’m thinking with the moving to this new place behind us and My daughter happy on her new school theres a lot of stress off my shoulders… Also I do feel a lot better all be it not 100%.. food is still a problem but I am still gaining weight and actualy dont look skinny anymore either at all..

My feet – ankles get thick now all the time and I try to lay them high when we go to bed.. My/our little suitcase to go to the hospital when  our little girl decides its time, is ready almost I just need to add the clothes I am going to wear to leave the hospital But I am guessing I will be wearing something when I go there so I should have something right? Well.. still they might get dirty so I rather pack an extra set of clean clothes just to be sure.. Looking at the weather I am thinking just a long dress with short sleeves and a shirt with long sleeves to wear under it would do. Then for good and bad weather I am prepared.. besides we live right near the hospital and going home in a taxi so I am not too worried…

Ok so yeah I’m 28 weeks pregnant now and the clock keeps ticking. My tummy has grown a lot bigger and I have been gaining a couple more kilos.. which is a good thing.. losing weight in my condition is not a good thing now. My weight now is about 59 kilos so no I am still not a heavy person 😛

I have new pictures but I am lazy and havent edited them yet. I plan on doing that in my next post. Sorry ppls  but that only means more pics next update :).

I am doing well.. I dont throw up anymore much at the moment. Actualy it be very rare if I would now. I have other problems to deal with now.. I am currently using a wheelchair  for when we go somewhere simply because I cant walk much anymore due to the pain in my back. I ignored the signs my body was sending and I simply overdid it. My own fault.  So I made some calls and found out i could borrow a wheelchair for a couple months which is really usefull now else I wouldnt be able to go anywhere much at all..  It is weird though… AND it was not an easy decision but now, I am glad I did made that decision. I sit comfortable and I finally can go outside again. Maybe even get a little tan XD.

Still the stomach acid burn in my throat but I can control that a little bit depending on the food i been eating..  I have a bladder infection currently and using medication against it. I hope it will work.. I surely don’t want to end up in the hospital because we have a lot comming at us.

We finally got a new appartement and may 5 we will be signing the contract for it. Ofcourse when I write about that there will be pictures. We will have a lot of work to do there and when I say we.. I mean ofc Antonio because in this condition I can not do much myself.. I just hope to be able to do some cleaning at least and I probaly can pack stuff in at home to go to the new appartement.   BUT I will write more about that in a special update about our new appartement soon..

I know theres many promises and things to do for me left so maybe I should make a to do list for me here..  You know what!? I’ll just do that next time LOL.

The baby, shes doing great, growing well.. moving a lot and having the coolest parties inside my belly.. at least thats how it feels.. she moves constantly and I have no worries about her :).

So far this update.. maybe pictures next time!
