25 Wks and Dr Updates!

Pregnancy Date: 25wk0d Feeling: Excited and Hopeful; mild acid reflux; back, overall, very good ; mild headaches; achy muscles; general clumsiness. I have SO much to talk about! I’ll knock it out by doctor appointment, that seems to be the most logical approach at this point. Dr. P on Thursday- No more Previa! I am [...]

Pregnancy Date: 21w2d Feeling: disappointed, but grateful…;Back, achy (2), Neck (3) and low Back (4); acid reflux; minimal edema; general awkwardness in getting around. Wow…where to begin?

Mixed Emotions

Pregnancy Date:  20w2d Feeling:  physically, pretty good, I guess. Sleepy and a bit depressed is all.  Wow…well, that was not as bad as I had feared, but certainly not as good as I’d hoped.

Pregnancy Date:  20w1d (can’t believe we’re 1/2 way there ) Feeling:  Heartburn has increased as Caelan is getting bigger and more active; I am pleased my weight gain is right on track, about 10 lbs…feeling more and more preggo each day, especially when I wake to one seriously active little man. I know I’m going to regret this, [...]

19wks & Household Happenings

Pregnancy Date:  19w0d Feeling: Aside from Allergies of Doom, pretty decent…mostly just tired and anxious. I’m pretty text book on symptoms at the moment, round ligament pain, problems sleeping, severe rhinitis, various muscle cramps. We’ve had some fun stuff going on too. Scott and I went and bought some Maternity clothes for me (finally) last week, [...]

“Taking it Easy”-18 weeks

Pregnancy Date:  18w1d Feeling:  wow…where to begin…I’m a little anxious and worried and a bit freaked out, but not without hope. Physically, I’m still having the round ligament pain and back ache, but the rest seems fairly normal. This last week has been stressful, to say the very least. At Wednesday’s OB Follow up, I was told [...]
