I decided that my last day of work before my maternity leave will be April 6th. That's only 13 weeks away! Spring Break starts the week after that and I due two weeks after spring break. I am assuming that they wont let me go to 40 weeks. I will likely be induced at 39 weeks, like I was with Breckin. That would mean I was only returning to work for one week (a two day week for me) after Spring Break. I figure just letting the sub take over after the break would be the easiest transition on everyone.. me, the students, and the sub. I am hoping she shows up on her own before the induction though. Dr Hirata thinks, given that this is my second, that it's a good possibility.
What's going on with Baby B: Baby B is starting to build fat now. She is about the size of a papaya. I think she must have hit a growth spirt this week because her movements are getting much harder... in fact she has already gotten to the phase where she is hurting me when she moves sometimes. She may not be as big as Breckin but I have a feeling she is still going to be a big baby.
Symptoms: I've been having LOT of Braxton Hicks contractions. They show up if I am pushing too hard or if she is moving a lot. It's interesting, with Breckin my stomach would just get tight and I would be comfortable. With Baby B I get tight, then it moves up my chest which gets tight, then it finally moves up to my head and I get a surge of pain across my forehead. It will be interesting to see how my contractions go at labor. I hope I don't have to go through labor with a migraine.
Cravings: Salty stuff
Birthday Prediction: April 23rd.
