It’s all coming together!

Sooo, the massive amount of swelling went down after a few days.
THANK GOD!
No word yet on the results of the 1 hour glucose test.  Hmmmmm, why do I have the feeling I failed?
C-Dub started on the nursery this weekend.  He did one wall a day.
Wow.  How………….lazy.
He still has two walls to go.  He claims it [...]

27 weeks

27 weeks!
I am amazed that I’m here so fast.  Time seems to be flying by.  I had my 1 hour glucose tolerance test today.  Lemon Lime Flavor.  Think really sweet, really flat sprite. 
NASTY.
The difference between now and the first time I took the test?
This time, I felt like crap afterwards, and had a headache for hours.
Luckily, [...]

Ummmmmm………………….

 
Ummmm yes.   A picture is worth a thousand words.
Yes, these are MY feet.  At 26 weeks at 6 days.

And my normally low (think 110s over 60s) blood pressure, rose to 130/72.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Concerned?
Oh yes.
Oh, and I take my “official” one hour glucose test tomorrow.

I remember thinking, this isn’t going to last, [...]

And so are Braxton Hicks that hurt.
But wait, those aren’t Braxton Hicks then are they???????

26 weeks.

Ahhhhh, 26 weeks.
Nothing really different.  I just look like I have a basketball under my shirt now.  I thought that I would be much bigger by now.  Especially considering that I haven’t been exercising at all. But I am pleasantly surprised that all the weight seems to be going to my belly and my cheeks(the ones [...]

Random thoughts

Soooooo.
Nothing new.
Except Sciatica.
Hmmmmmmmm. 
Maybe I should try yoga??
Hmmmmmmmm.
I need  a new name for my blog.  Or maybe a new theme? After all, I am still “making” a baby. 
Kind of.
Hmmmmmmmm
Maybe I should just wait until the baby is born?
Hmmmmmmmm.
Just random thoughts on a Wednesday evening.

I’m just really trying to understand

OK, I am 25 weeks pregnant, and I work at an IVF clinic.  So yes, daily, I see women who are struggling with infertility, recurrent losses, failed cycles, and a host of other problems.  I understand that having a pregnant nurse can be hard.  That’s why I never mention it, I always have a smile, [...]

Food cravings: All things [...]
