34 weeks pregnant

In addition to the list of things I am experiencing while I am in my pregnancy journey, I also have (now had cause it's been removed) hemangioma (benign vascular tumor derived from blood vessel cell types). I've had it on my pubic area, from 6-7 months I think? It's been a stinging and annoying feeling that keeps popping and then blowing up again. Not that it was that big, it's a size of a half monggo bean. On my 34th OB appointment, we had it removed. I was under anesthesia and they had to cut it then and there. I was with Martin at that time, his first time joining me in my appointment and I am just so glad he was there. We were able to make fun of the situation. The thing that they took will be tested, will undergo biopsy to make sure that it's not cancerous at all. Other than that, happy to announce that baby M is still looking good and healthy and fine. Kicks and jabs and turns in my belly are definitely stronger. Belly's getting bigger. Weight getting heavier.

Update: 36 weeks

So what they found was that it was a benign angiokeratoma. It's been 2 weeks, no more bleeding thank God! Still I feel that something pops because of the discharge that shows up where the thing has been removed. Dr. Lori however said most likely the discharge is not coming from there. My 36th appointment with Dr, Lori was more on baby's positioning. The baby is still not in the downward position when she checked. So, next appointment, they'll see if they could move the baby from the outside for it to be in a better/ready position. For now, I have to help in positioning the baby by doing yoga poses few times a day. It doesn't help that I have nasal congestion because it's hard to breath when I do the positions. I still try though. We can do this! 

Mostly things have been prepared. I say almost 95% of the things that I should prepare have been prepared. It's more of setting it up, making sure I have all the things in the right place. I still don't know about Camilla's class, I would have to ask on Monday. Overall, I feel good. I don't really worry a lot, I know I could do this. A few days/weeks back I felt that I was running agains time, although I still feel like I do, but I am more relaxed now I guess. Maternity leave has started last Friday, Feb 4 2020. Quick update on Camilla's school, we were notified last Monday that she was in direct contact with someone in her class who tested positive. At the same time, we were both feeling sick. We all had our tests done, and all came back negative. Since she has been sick, we just decided to have her home until she feels better. Hopefully she and I gets better soon.
