Week 31 + Office Visit

Week 31 wasn't that bad.  It was kind of relaxing actually because I only had one leg cramp this whole week.  I didn't really feel nauseous at all either except yesterday when I went to my office visit.  Other than that I really don't have anything to complain about.  =)  However, baby has been so active lately.  I see him moving across my belly on a regular basis now and he's getting to be so big.  I can nearly breath now because he's putting so much pressure on my diaphragm.  He's also so big that I get full really quick and end up getting hungry really often.  I eat little meals 5 to 6 times a day now because I always end up feeling full and then hungry a little while later.  I LOVE MY LITTLE MAN!

I had to drive myself to my office visit yesterday by myself.  My husband didn't take off because he didn't work Monday which was July 4th and he didn't want to miss work Thursday so I had to go by myself.  Our Sentra is a  manual and I can't drive manual so we borrowed his mothers Corolla which his brother had an accident with a few months back.  Since my husbands brother has been driving it around we thought it was fine.  Man were we forever wrong!

From 0 to 50 mph it's pretty much fine but from 55 to 60 mph the steering wheel starts shaking.  I had to take the highway to get to Fort Smith so you can only imagine how bad it was and it was not a fun ride.  I couldn't even get up to 70 mph without the whole car shaking.  I mean it literally the whole car was shaking.  The steering wheel shook so bad my arms were basically jumping around in the air.  The passenger seat was bouncing back and forth, the front windshield looked like it was about to shatter, and I swear at one point I heard metal clanking somewhere.  It was just insane!

When I finally got to the clinic I was so happy to be out of the car and somewhere safe!  I signed in at the counter at about 9:50 and I had to wait a little bit longer than an hour.  I had a slight sugar rush crash when I got there but it didn't last long and it wasn't that intense, but I'm pretty sure it was just the car ride that made me sick.  The computer systems for the clinic was down for a little bit but they got it back up in no time.  My office visit was quick and I was out of there within ten minutes after they took my weight and blood pressure.

The car ride home wasn't any smoother then the car ride to Fort Smith.  It was actually worse!  It was around 11:30  when I got on the highway meaning there were more vehicles including semis.  It wasn't a pretty ride home but at the very least I made it back.  I don't want to borrow that car ever again.  However, if worse comes to worse...I don't think I'm going to have a choice.  =(
