Oh baby.... Due 12/22/2009
So Bill & I headed out to the doctor's for my check up. Once I get called into the exam room, the nurse asks if I want Bill in there. I was like "sure, it isn't like he hasn't seen all this before". She laughed and in a few moments, Bill was back in the exam room. He looked so awkward sitting in the chair under the biohazard bin, looking at all the birth posters and such. Me, I was very nervous, so in usual fashion I started making jokes. Since I was prepped for my exam, I started flashing my butt him, making all kinds of jokes, acting like I wanted to start playing with the ultrasound machine, just being goofy. I know I was embarassing Bill. Once the doctor showed up, it was down to business. He just sat there watching as she skewered me with the wand, pulled up the pictures and let us see and hear the baby. This is the 3rd time I've heard the heartbeat, but the first time I saw the actual heart beating. I looked over and smiled at Bill. We are both very happy. We also got good news about the spotting I've been having. While I do need to take it easy - I can't be Wonder Woman anymore at work - the bleeding is coming from the growing and stretching inside me and that causes rubbing. The rubbing causes some bleeding and since it is all near the cervex, I get spotting. "This type of thing doesn't result in miscarriages and gets better soon enough". I was very VERY happy to hear that. Since one of my best friends lost her baby recently and I know my mom had a miscarriage, I was just worried.
So.. 8 weeks down, 32 to go. December 22 can't get here fast enough.
Another good thing - I'm holding steady at 212. I have been eating VERY well, no really strange cravings. I just want flavored yogurts and fruit.. LOTS of fruit. My hair is growing like crazy as are my nails.
While my blood tests came back good, I failed my 1 hour glucose test. Bill said I had the look of "I don't fail, there is no way I failed a test. I don't fail, I pass, win, whatever, but fail NEVER" all over my face. So, while I had hoped I would never taste that nasty stuff ever again, I have to go next Thursday and take a 3 HOUR test. 3 freaking hours!! I wonder if they will just let me go to sleep on an exam table, that stuff messed me up last time!
Oh.. and have we told the family yet.... mine & his.... NOPE! Waiting for a few things to fall into place but we'll have to tell them soon. We have a wedding to attend next month and I can't hide my bump.
