Is It Going to be One of Those Days?

Wow, folks, the heartburn is REALLY bad today. I’ve had it for the past HOUR. I finally gave in and took a Tums. I’m sure it’s all psychological but it was near instant relief. But it’s a tiny tablet, so I’m sure the heartburn will be back within the hour.
CootieBoy, come [...]

Rough Night

Last night was a rough night for me. I only got about 4-5 hours of sleep between the 2-1/2 hour battle with heartburn (it won, obviously), the two charley horses (one in each leg, separated by one hour) and getting up to pee twice.
Thankfully my office should be quiet today since most of the [...]

Uh….

I just had a contraction in the lunch room that lasted over one minute long. It took place about 15 minutes ago. Nothing since then.
Update at 2:12 p.m. – no other contractions, so now I’m thinking it wasn’t a contraction. But it was much more intense and painful than the Braxton-Hicks I’ve [...]

The Home Stretch!

We’re in the home stretch people! Nine days to go and the Bambino will be here! Unless he decides to come early, which several people have suggested. Denis thinks he’ll be here by Friday, August 13th, which is the day we wanted him to arrive in the first place. He forsees [...]

So Much For That

So much for getting a good night’s sleep again. I tried that whole pillow thing again that was so successful the night before, but heartburn and reflux decided to rear it’s ugly head and I spent most of the night sitting up because laying down caused burning and bile. Pleasant. What sucked [...]

How Much Longer?

So we’ve officially reached the point where my walking has been reduced to .1 MPH. We’ve officially reached the point where I have to pee every 30 minutes – and that’s if I don’t drink water all throughout my workday. We’ve officially reached the point where this kid is HEAVY to carry and [...]

Continuous Countdown

You know what’s awesome TODAY? That when I leave here I only have 14 workdays left. It would have been fifteen except I have a doctor’s appointment on Aug 3 that requires I take the day off.
FOURTEEN WORKDAYS. That’s so awesome.
26 days til the c-section date.
CootieBoy has been kicking a lot – [...]

Nauseous

I’m feeling quite nauseous right now. I had a dry-heave as I was leaving the house this morning, and had breakfast upon arriving at work, but now I’m feeling sick again, with 45 minutes to go until lunch arrives.

Ups and Downs

This weekend had some ups and downs. Ups in that the swelling on Saturday was tremendous. My left ankle could hardly move at some point. Ditto to being swollen yesterday at church because it was so stinkin’ hot in there that no amount of water would help.
At some point early in the [...]

37 Days

Isn’t that just a WONDERFUL number? 37 days til CootieBoy arrives. That’s barely a month! YIPPEEE!!!!
