april 9- 19w4d
the belly bulge.
(and thadd's "i work night shift window blackout". at least its not trashy from the outside. :)
april 9- confession:
i officially found the awkward hair a few days ago. it was in what could be considered the "beard zone"... if i were a man. :/ i actually pulled it out... gasped at its amazing length... then had to show thadd. this immediately sent me to the mirror to do a hair check in my "beard zone". i was aghast to find that it, unfortunately, wasn't alone. it had many friends.
so what's a girl to do when she's got long, bright blond, peach fuzz in her "beard zone"? shave it off-of course! (trust me, it seemed like a good idea at the time.) i busted out thadd's gillette fusion and went to town. (i didn't lower myself to actually lathering up with shaving cream.. don't worry.)
it fixed the immediate problem. (and incidentally it left my skin feeling silky smooth.) it does leave me in a slight predicament though... am i going to make this a routine?

april 5- i want to go to there:
now taking donations. help the pregnant woman sleep.
thadd's going to have to sleep on the couch... but if it means that i can sleep too... well... it may have to be a sacrifice he's going to have to make. :)
right now i'm sleeping with 3 pillows. 2 king size and 1 regular. i really need about 2 more to successfully pull off comfort. (well, until i have to switch sides, then all bets are off.) i'm typically a back sleeper. and every time i wake up i'm on my back. (typically 4-5 times a night) this kid is getting heavy.. and now it actually wakes me up when i've accidentally rolled onto my back.:/
april 5- i'm sure you're dying for an update
my appointment on friday went well. here's the stuff:
bp was good
weight +1lb
baby morris heartbeat doing good
fundal height -1u (i think that's what she said)
my blood didn't come back as thin as they'd like, so she sent in a change on my shots. now i'll be giving myself 2 per day at 30 iu each. (instead of 1 at 40iu) yay for more shots. i mentioned again that it seems to REALLY be hurting lately when i give myself a shot. she basically said that i'm probably turning my belly to hamburger, and that i can feel free to switch to my inner thigh or arm fat. no thanks. i'll stick it out for as long as i can grab hold of something on my middle.
my ultrasound is still set for april 16, so stay tuned to see whether it will be a little ms. morris, or little mr. morris.
as far as the imaginary ice pick that has been randomly jabbed into my crotch, (read:pelvic pain), she said that i can tie something around my waist. she suggested possibly a bedsheet. it doesn't always work for everyone, but if it does they can get me a more formal brace/wrap that will in essence hold the pelvis together. yay! i tried it the other day and it was amazing how much relief it gave. the doc said that it isn't normal to have it so early, but its not a bad sign or anything-just different. (like everything else i've had happen to me!)
the anti-d is most likely the result of the rhogam shot i got in jan. she suggested that in an email earlier last week, but confirmed it in the appt. they'll continue to test me until i register a 0 on the test.
i got a pee test. woo-hoo. everything looks fine there. same with all the bloodwork.
my weight is ok. she said she's not concerned that i'm not gaining much weight.... for my size i can safely gain about 15 pounds on the low side, 30 or so on the high side, before they would worry. it is just odd though, because i've been eating like a heifer. (i have a RAVENOUS appetite now...) i honestly have no idea how i haven't gained 30 lbs already. i brace for it every time i step on the scale!
the kicks are getting more pronounced, particularly after i eat. this kid likes some food... the spicier the better!
the doc did mention "wow, you're really showing now!" when she was taking the heartbeat. i realized this before she told me, since nothing i own fits... including the maternity clothes.
i'll be posting a few more interesting topics in the next day or so.. but for now... i'm exhausted!!!! off to nap.
