So, this has definitely been a much harder pregnancy for me than with Mariah. With Mariah, I was still working out and walking 3-5 miles at this point no problem. With Makenzie, I have been struggling for the past month or two and my doctors have put me on "bed rest" at any time possible. Those of you who know me, know that's insane to ask of me. ha ha. But, if I am on my feet much at all as in a normal day, by the evening I am doubled over in pain so I have had to slow down considerably for me.
Two weeks ago, they checked since I said I felt so much pressure and discovered I was 1 cm dilated at 34 weeks. This week at 36 weeks I had progressed to 3 cm dilated already!!! Wow. My doctor thinks 1-2 more weeks at the most. She said she would be shocked if I made it 3 more weeks, let alone 4 to get to my due date of May 20th. So, time to get ready! Packing the bag this weekend and trying to get mentally ready and finish up some work stuff best I can.
Ryan cannot wait to meet Makenzie and neither can I . . . and we can't wait to see how Mariah absorbs it all. She thinks she is excited to meet her . . . :)
