27 Weeks




My Dr apt went well for my 27 week check. Blood pressure good for both me and the baby, weight gain is steady.
I took the infamous Glucose test! It wasn't as bad as I remembered, it just tasted like generic orange Gatorade! And the woman who took my blood was amazing! I didn't feel a thing! An interesting fact about me - any act that has to do with taking my blood usually leaves me crying or passed out, so this was a better experience!
There were some students in there with us which made it a little aquard! LOL
But everything turned out great!
Now I go back every 2 weeks already! Crazy huh? Flying by!

This week I do notice some minor swelling, my nose has grown like last time, and I've gotten super sick like for the 2nd time! This time major throat swelling! But I'm getting better so whatever!

Thats all for now!

6 mths



I'm sick today! No fun. My ears started getting stuffy and I think an infection followed!
Other then that I'm growing and growing! The past 2 weeks I've been able to SEE the kicks from outside the belly. I'm the only one that has seen it though, it seems she gets shy when more eyes are watching! LOL Thats different from Michelle, this one is more modest! I'm on a freaken expensive heartburn medication, one pill every 2 days keeps me heartburn free! I can eat the hottest foods and feel nothing! Only problem, it gives me terrible headaches, so now I'm up to taking 2 Tylonal in addition to the meds, which jumps up the amount of pills I take which I'm worried about, and its sad but I'd rather have the heartburn then the crazy terrible headaches I get with the meds.

Is it stupid that I had to pay $165 for the meds even after my insurance? I was in such shock when I saw the amount, I just signed no questions. I feel like the biggest idiot for not finding another option, the health-care system just makes me feel so used and dumb!

Whatever I'll fight next time, and regret it for now.

I'm loving looking for stuff for this baby, nothing too crazy just fun little stuff! (For now)

Ok well lets see, next appt is around the 20th this month and I'm taking the glucose test. I'm confident everything will be fine!
