Doctor’s appt today
Well, had a SHORT appointment. Evidently, when I rescheduled, they put me in a 15 minute time frame instead of the 45 minute one I had had before. We discussed my vaginal discharge (probably normal) the depression I’m having (she’s going to have someone contact me), sex – since I’m no longer bleeding, and as long as it’s comfortable, it’s all right, I’m sure DH was happy to hear that! Though I STILL don’t feel like it, I’ll work it out. Sometimes you gotta overrule the hormones, SHOW em who’s boss ;). LOL.
Then we had a look at the baby. S/he was VERY active, practically waving at us. Looked like s/he might have had the hiccups, actually… but it was pretty exciting seeing just how active the baby was…though when I got home and thought about that, I had to laugh, because once again, I’m thinking "WHAT have I got myself into????" 😉 Seriously, though… if it’s that active NOW… just wait til it’s born!
I figured out why Becca wants it to be a boy… she wants a kid she can roughhouse with and they’re not going to start crying every time it gets a little too rough. Darn girls anyway :). I swear when they play, I think to myself, I THOUGHT I had girls… why do they sound like boys?
Anyway, it was a relief to see the baby so active, and doing so well. I got FIVE sonogram pictures!!!! FIVE! I’ve got to start scrapbooking these, but I think part of me is waiting to find out the sex so I can have some semblance of that in the book… Though green and yellow make fine "neutral" baby colors. And I hear pink is coming back into fashion for boys… evidently they’re wearing it a lot at my daughter’s school, but it makes her uncomfortable… funny how "social programming" starts so young. Boys aren’t SUPPOSED to wear pink.
Jerry was telling me that where the villa is, in Mexico, sometimes you look at the teenage boys, and you don’t know if they’re a boy or a girl. Evidently, even in the land of "machismo" there’s an area (Puerta Vallerta, mostly, but the surrounding areas too) where the gay men have located themselves. Considering that the best man at our wedding is gay, and that our friends Jorja and Julie are a lesbian couple that are high school sweethearts, we’re really no strangers to that culture. In fact, Julie has another girlfriend, from my home state of Colorado, so that makes for a very interesting love triangle. These women have a great deal in common, but Julie is pretty self centered, so Jorja gets left out when this other woman is around, and it leaves her feeling justifiably upset and jealous. Why her name is escaping me right now… I do not know. I’ll blame it on pregnant brain for now ;).
I’m pretty tired. I was up somewhat late last night, writing out a private entry, and I had to get up early to go to my doctor’s appt. We ended up having breakfast at McDonalds, but I ended up throwing it up right as we parked, and that was horrible. I’ll spare everyone the details. I DID make it out of the truck though, thankfully. I hate it when I’m physcially sick like that. I should have known better, really.
I want to take a nap, but I need to go to the store. Actually, I’m hungry… wonder if I can stomach some leftover Chinese lemon chicken… I don’t see why not, I’m feeling better.
Oh, last but not least, my weight was 212.8, so I’m around half to a full pound lighter. No biggie. Actually, I was just happy to see I hadn’t really gaiined anything yet. I don’t need to gain a whole lot, so I think I’m probably on the right track now. I’ve been indulging a bit too much in candies and stuff, but I am trying to watch it somewhat. The cake has been making me sick, so I haven’t been able to get down more than a couple of bites, so that works, actually.
I guess I’ll go see what’s in the fridge. It’s really sad and depressing… Jerry goes to a ton of work to make us dinner, but half the time it’s so hard on my stomach, I just feel sick at the end of dinner. I’m doing my best to make a good showing, but like last night, he made barbeque ribs, and they were delicious, but greasy, and acidic, then he fried up some potatoes (at least this time he left out the garlic) but again, too much. So I didn’t feel well at ALL last night. I think tonight, I’m going to make myself a salad… it’ll be easier on my stomach. I guess I’ll boil some eggs today. Sigh… I just hate to do that to him, it makes him feel so bad.
Guess I’ll get going, the carrots I had a bit ago are wearing off pretty quickly.
