31 Weeks

The night before my appointment with McKernan, Kadence was moving a lot! I told her she better get in a good position and smile because I wanted to get a good picture of her. I only hoped she'd listen, she has such big, strong movements is uncomfortable most times. I honestly don't think that Aubrey was like this.

So I went to my appointment with McKernan this week. While I waited in the room, they had the tv tuned to this infomercial for an intense workout for beach bodies- how RUDE to do that to pregnant women!! I thought it was funny that I had to sit there with my belly and watch 6 packs on the screen, oh well. When McKernan came in the room, I let him know how tired I've been and the stress on my body from working a lot, so he cut down my work hours to 32 hours a week. That's cutting 10 hours- phew! He took his old sonogram machine to get a look at Kadence and her heart was beating well and he said she was head down! I was totally surprised, he said we could try and get another 3D ultrasound. While I waited for the ultrasound, I scheduled my next two appointments because they said I start to go every two weeks now. I couldn't believe it, at this point it's really coming soon when the appointments are getting closer!

So we went back to the ultrasound room and her head was down and her butt was on my right side with her feet extending to my lower left side. Once again, her hand and her foot were covering her face! What is with this girl?! She's not letting us get good pictures!!!


Anyways, I finished out my 43 hour work week and upper back pain galore! I decided to make an appointment for a prenatal massage to help relax me and my body. Man oh man did this lady work wonders on me! I've never had a more relaxing massage in all the time I've gotten them. I truly think she hit the "relax" button because I felt like mush the rest of the day and couldn't function properly. I was soooooo tired, I slept from 9pm to 8am! AHHH so refreshing and needed.

Almost forgot, I almost feel like my body is definitely not what it used to be. I feel more discomfort with this pregnancy for sure. I know that McKernan said Kadence is now head down and it definitely feels like more "pressure" so to say. Most of the time when I switch sides at night, my hips start to pop. I feel so old! haha
