Another early morning post brought to you by my sleeplessness... Eh, well, I would be getting up in about a half hour anyway. I am trying again today to go to Texas. I didn't get on yesterday morning--oh, the joy of flying standby--and while I had considered trying to connect through Chicago, the risks of getting stuck at O'Hare were too great, and ( Read more... )

Bah. Can not sleep. Do we see a theme in my journal entries lately ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a wonderful day. I worked until 7 am, but I had my appointment for the level 2 ultrasound and fetal echocardiogram at 8:45, and just hung around the hospital until I could make my way over to the prenatal diagnostic center. Brian met me there, and though I think I knew in my heart of hearts that everything was okay, I was anxious to ( Read more... )

I am trying very hard not to obsess over this, but I will admit, it's hard not to... This past Thursday, I had an appointment with a new OB/midwifery practice. The reasons for me switching are complicated and seem so trivial now... Anyway, it was going very well, I really liked the midwife and I was feeling good about the switch. And then, it came ( Read more... )

Can. not. sleep. This is my second night off in a row, and the second night where I am up at 3:30 wide awake. Actually, I've been up since 1:30 this morning. I got up, finished the book I've been reading and tried to go back to bed. Still couldn't sleep. I laid in bed thinking... thinking. Then my stomach started growling, because, you know, when I ( Read more... )

It's been quite a while since I've last posted. The last month was rather busy. My parents were here for almost 3 weeks, and my brother and his family were here for about a week. We had a nice family get-together at the house where we had our wedding reception last year. Brian and I had a lovely 1st anniversary--we treated ourselves to new wedding ( Read more... )

So we had our official ultrasound on Tuesday, and it's pretty undeniable. And I love that I can tell my child that I posted a picture of its genitals on the internet. :) ( It's a... )

I am officially sick. My throat is soooo sore. *whine* And once again, I can't sleep ( Read more... )

It's kind of been a while since I updated... Everything is going pretty well. I am officially on my own at work, and while I think they've been kind to me with the patient assignments, I feel like I've done well. I had a wonderful night at work last week. I had a delivery that was almost perfect. Adorable couple, first baby... The patient was ( Read more... )

I can't sleep. I NEVER have this problem. Part of the problem is my increased need to pee. Why did I think this just became a problem later in the pregnancy? Apparently, as I've learned, this will continue to plague me for the duration... Additionally, I am having to collect a 24-hour urine. So every time I do get up to pee, I have to get my jug of ( Read more... )
