Here We Go Again!
Just a brief update. This morning I weighed myself again. Since June 22 I’ve gained 3.5 pounds, for a total of 38.5 pounds with 7 weeks to go. I’ll take it! Still significantly better than with CootieGirl!
Since the scare on Sunday, CootieBoy has been on the move – I think he [...]
So I’m a little warm today. As in sweating beyond all belief. Other admins in my office are cold and wearing delicate little sweaters around their shivering shoulders, and I’m here with a cloth soaking up the sweat dripping down my face.
And it’s not even JULY yet.
Okay, so some of you may recall the season finale of “ER” this year where Carter’s girlfriend has a stillbirth. One of the scenes had Carter asking her when she last felt the baby kick, and she said, “Sometime this morning,” arousing his concern and causing him to take her to hospital. The [...]
Yesterday’s doctor appointment went well. The doctor mentioned concern over my weight gain, and I assured her that compared to my last pregnancy I was doing quite well. When I told her I gained 60 pounds with CootieGirl she was surprised and pleased by my results so far in this pregnancy (only 35 [...]
Last night I woke up in excruciating pain. Remember that charley horse I got a few weeks ago? This one was 10x worse. I woke up as my left leg began to seize and raise itself up in the air. By the time it was done my calf was solid as [...]
The heartburn is really bad this time around, people. I’ve had it since I woke up this morning and it ’s gotten steadily worse as the day progresses. The heartburn has been manageable thus far because CootieBoy is sitting really low as opposed to CootieGirl who seemed to give me chest compressions whenever [...]
Hard to believe there are only 70 days left MAX in my pregnancy. The counter on the right says 77 days, but since I’ll have a c-section at LEAST a week before my due date, that means 70 days from now I’ll have a screaming baby boy in my arms. How wonderful!
It could [...]
Well after much debate and discussion, we finally came up with an official name for The Bean. From here on out I’ll be able to actually refer to him by name, which is awesome.
The way we came up with the name was relatively simple. I made up a huge list of ALL the [...]
I finally got word on Friday afternoon that I passed that 3-hr glucose test. As if I had any doubt. I AM curious to know what my exact count was though, since I measured only 8 points above normal during the first test when I didn’t fast.
Baby Bean is a kicking fiend. [...]
Ever since that glucose test on Tuesday I’ve felt like absolute garbage. I have been nauseous while commuting to/from work again, I have had hot flashes where everyone around me is cool and I’m sweating like a pig, and the heartburn is more pronounced since Tuesday.
And I STILL haven’t heard the results of that [...]
