Feeling better

So far so good today. I woke up and my side hurt a little bit but it's not as bad as yesterday.

Michelle thanks for the suggestions! Your probably right, about my uterus stretching and being towards one side. I would have gone to the E.R. but I have to pay a $100 co-pay so because it was still a dull pain I decided to wait it out. That's the only bad thing about the insurance we have. It is amazing and covers nearly everything but the E.R. co pays are high. In fact our insurance is so amazing that we will only have to pay $300 for the birth of the baby, where as with Ethan we paid almost $6000. BIG DIFFERENCE!

So if the pain comes back on like it did yesterday I will be going to the doctors mostly because I don't want to risk having something happen over the weekend.

I will keep you posted but for now, other than having a VERY cranky two year old...everything is good.

Oh yah and last night I didn't take my morning sickness meds and woke up today fine. Considering I am getting some energy back I have a sneaking suspicion that I may be nearing the end of the dreaded morning sickness. Thank God!!!!!

Slightly worried

I am getting kind of a crampy feeling on my left side down low now all day today. Also my back feels kind of like it does before you get your period. I am hoping maybe this is just stress or my uterus stretching and not something worse, but I can't help but think that something bad could happen considering my history.

I did feel like this a little bit when I was pregnant with Ethan and it was because I had the beginning of kidney stones. My doctor called them crystals. Seeing as the discomfort is only on one side and I have the low back pain this is probably what the problem is.....well I am praying that this is the worst thing it could be but still that's not fun either.

Of course the doctor is not around now and I could call but they will just tell me to go to the E.R. and at this point its not that bad. I guess we'll see what happens tomorrow. I wish I was 4 months along already. The first 3 months are so stressful for me, I will be so happy when I am past this point. Just a few more weeks.

Case of the body snatchers

Why is it when you get pregnant your hands stop working?

I have noticed them slowly starting to slip away. Dropping keys here and there. Drop a spoon etc. But yesterday we began to kick it up a notch. Last night Phil worked late so the kids had cereal for dinner. I went to the cabinet pulled out a new box of Cheerios and began to open the box. Just as I opened up the bad and began to pour the box jumped out of my hand and landed open side down on the ground. I lost a good 2 bowls of cereal on the ground.

Now this morning I get up and get Ethan his sippy of milk. I take the brand new half gallon out of the fridge open and it up at the side of the sink and somehow push the whole half gallon open side down into a stock pot that was soaking from yesterday. Dirty nasty water.

And the really gross part is that it actually crossed my mind for about two seconds to just dump some and save the rest. WHAT?! What has happened to my brain. That is disgusting.

Someday it will come back to me. Someday I will have all my coordination back, my mind will be clear again, and I'll be able to eat and enjoy my food. Though I have the sneaking suspicion that this won't happen until this child is sleeping through the night. I'll let you know in the fall of 2011.

10 weeks 3 days

DISCLAIMER---I had no idea my hair was so crazy in these pictures and this is our third shot at it so it is what it is.

I know it's been forever. Well forever for me. I have been dealing with a lot of stuff lately totally unrelated to pregnancy and haven't had much time or energy left to update. Tisk, tisk.

So the deal. I am starting to get some energy back. I can make it through at least one day without napping. That's is quite a feat. My boobs hurt..but what's new. Their gonna hurt for the next 7 months so I better get used to it.

I have been so distracted lately I have barely had time to even think about the baby. Awful I know. It's just not like the first baby. I remember sitting for hours talking to my belly and daydreaming about the little life within me. Now I go all day and forget that I am pregnant until I get consumed by exhaustion.

Oh ladies if this is your first baby...sit back and cherish it because you won't get that opportunity ever again.

I am trying to remind myself (through the tears because I am one moody mama lately) to stop and enjoy every once and a while since this is indeed my last.

No weight gain yet. Usually I am so sick I am loosing at this point but I have been taking morning sickness magic by Mommy's Bliss and it actually works quite well. Thank God!!! If only I knew about this 8 yrs ago when I was pregnant the first time.

Not much else to say other then I will be happy when I can eat like a normal person again. I have these cravings that never get satisfied...and that is for the birds. I will want something so bad then eat it and as soon as it hits my tongue it's disgusting. Oh the things we do for children, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.
