It's been awhile, but don't want to bore you with details... I'm now almost 36 weeks pregnant. This baby continues to challenge me and has me counting the days til arrival! I was diagnosed last week with polyhydramnios, which means excessive amniotic fluid, which means my belly is HUGE, which means I'm pretty uncomfortable. I measure like I'm already at my due date and baby weighs about 2 lbs more than expected. I seriously doubt I'll make it to June til this arrival. My providers are monitoring me closely and I have appointments twice a week now. I get tests then for baby's well-being and fluid level measurements. They can't seem to figure why I have this excess fluid, but they don't seem too concerned and I am trying to not be, as well. I am so grateful to have my mom here since Greg is gone... she's very helpful especially with Cora running around constantly. My dad will come next week, which will be equally helpful. I have also secured a birth doula to provide me support while in labor (it'll be nice to be on the other end of that service since I worked as a doula for a few years before becoming a midwife!) Otherwise, I suppose it's time to get ready...
