Week 18ish / OB Appt / Ultrasound!!!!!!!!!!

By

Yesterday (Tuesday), I had my ultrasound at 1:30, followed by a 2:00 Dr. appointment.  The ultrasound was pretty much the most fun thing EVER!  I had been kinda apprehensive about it.  Not so much because of the things I discussed in the last couple of posts, but because I had to drink 16 oz of water an hour prior to my appointment.  Without peeing.  See, I was really looking forward to the ultrasound.  And I wanted to be able to really focus on what was taking place and save it as a wonderful memory.  I feared I’d be so delirious needing to pee that I wouldn’t even be able to enjoy it.

So on Monday night, I decided to do a test run.  Continue reading →

Update on Previous Post

So, if you were brave (or crazy) enough to read the TMI portion of my last post, I thought I’d post a quick update.  I could still be mistaken about all this movement business, but I think the little kiddo has been a lot more active tonight.  Like he or she is saying, “Relax, Mommy, I’m fine.  See?  I’m doing cartwheels!” =)

I’m still a little nervous about the ultrasound.  Because I’m still not totally sure about feeling the movement (I could probably be confident about it, but I’m always doubting myself).  Also because I don’t really know if I can drink 16 ounces of water an HOUR before my appointment and not have to pee to the point of being delirious.

Week 17

OHHHH myyyy gosh, I had to get up THREE TIMES to pee last night.  Three times!  And I’m not even halfway there.  Pretty soon, I’ll just have to pee all night and I’ll go take brief naps when I’m not peeing.  Better yet, maybe I’ll just kill two birds with one stone and sleep on the toilet.  What the heck?  I hope last night was a fluke and not the beginning of a new trend.  Geez.  I’m not prepared for that yet.

On a better note, I slept with a body pillow last night and IT WAS WONDERFUL.  Continue reading →

Weeks 15 and 16

By

I was a slacker and didn’t update last week.  By the time I felt like it, I thought ehhhhh it’s almost time for the next one, so I’ll just wait.  Last week, I was particularly lazy. And now you suffer the consequences along with me because this post is WAY LONG.

On Monday, for Labor Day, we went to my aunt’s house for a barbecue.  It was a lot of fun.  It was also the first time seeing many of my family members since I got pregnant.  I think they were quite disappointed with my belly progress, haha.  Oh well.  I reassured them that, by Thanksgiving, I’m sure I’ll have a much more satisfactory bump.  Continue reading →
