8:25 pm	Hmm.. Just occurred to me that I've got this whole thing friends-only. On purpose, mind you, but thought I'd post something publicly in case anyone...ahem... pops in to say hi. Just comment! If I know ya, I'll friend ya! (Comment on this)

4:18 pm	Had our appointment this afternoon! I was down a pound (143) from the last appt; the nurse looked at me cockeyed and asked if I'd been sick. Uh, yes. :) She then pitied me. My BP was 110/80. Then the Dr came in and asked how I was doing; I begged for more Zofran and he complied and basically said he pitied that I'm still getting sick but that it should pass soon. I didn't remind him that he'd said the same thing 4 weeks ago. ;) Then we got to hear Girvin's little heart pounding away; I asked how fast he guessed it was beating, and he estimated (after listening for about 5 seconds!) 180 BPM. !!! WOW! I must've been way off when I measured a few weeks ago. Either that or his/her heartrate has increased. Or he/she was in there doing baby aerobics. First I asked how he could tell so quickly! - Lots of babies, he explained. And ours was one of the quicker ones. Then I asked if that wasn't a little high and he said it was fine; 160-180 is what he likes to see at this age in general, so we're good. He also brought up the old wives' tale and suggested it may be a girl! The HR was pretty shocking to me. I hadn't expected it to be so fast. Maybe Girvin was excited because I was out walking to the office. LOL. At any rate, he said it'll slow down over the next few months. Wow. Girvin may be a GIRL. Anyway, I asked for his travel policy in the 3rd trimester and he said no long trips after 32 weeks, so I'm good to go for our friend Megan's wedding in late August. I'll be 30 weeks. He said that was fine. Yay. :) Our big U/S will be in about 6 weeks, at a different facility. I'd been wondering how their crappy U/S machine would work. LOL. We also decided to get the AFP test, so I have to remember to go do that in about 2 1/2 weeks. Not that we'd ever, ever get rid of Girvin; Adam just wants to be prepared in case something is off. Or if there's a chance of something being off. The ride home sucked. It's warm outside and apparently my body has a serious heat-aversion right now. I almost threw up in the truck. We stopped at the grocery store for travel snacks/drinks for tomorrow and Monday and I had a little pitstop in the bushes there. Ugh. Oh well. :) (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:19 am	Happy Mother's Day to me!! :) Adam was so cute... he made me a card from himself and Girvin. He even wrote 'I love you mommy' in illegible kid-writing and signed it illegibly and then translated the signature for me in parentheses. LOL. And he gave me a Precious Moments figurine for expectant moms. I was thinking of trying to make church today, but I'm not sure. I threw up once today already, but my stomach feels very queasy. Hmm.

10:42 am	Yay! 14 weeks! So now according to almost everyone and their dog, we've reached the second trimester. :) I kicked off the morning by tossing my cookies (joy) and then we listened very briefly to Girvin's heartbeat via doppler. I found it immediately and it was nice and strong. Adam's supposed to call his Grandma E today to tell her about the baby. I was surprised to find out that she didn't already know. I mean, Adam's mom just told everyone in her family after we announced our engagement, so I figured she'd have done the same with this, but nope. It's fine. And then I have to find out if my dad's told my grandparents yet. Soooo.... I can't believe I'm still puking. It gives me all new sympathy for Melanie. Ugh. I think maybe I'd be able to cope well if the nausea would go away, but it seems to be perma-nausea. Soon... soon... soooooon.... (Comment on this)

3:11 pm	Blech. What a day this has been. I've been in such an awful mood ever since this morning. I feel so so so awful for Katie. I can't imagine her pain. I was so stunned when I read the news. It completely trivialized everything I was upset about before and made me realize it's not worth getting mad or overly emotional about anything anyone else says or does. But at the same time, ironically, I'm still a tad miffed. I feel like no one has the right to take something you say in your journal and stick it out there for public consumption, even if they don't use your name. It's not hard to do a little searching and find out who instigated a particular discussion. My opinions and feelings are just that: my own. I won't harp on things you say in your journal and I expect the same in return. But I guess I digress. I want this to be a happy place, not an annoyed or irritated or sad one. :) I had an awesome conversation with my younger brother last night. It amazes me that we used to hate each other as much as we did. I'm 26, and he's 23. We were mortal enemies (no real exaggeration there, either) until I left for college. And then, somewhere along the way from then til now, we've developed an actual friendship. We know secrets about each other and I honestly trust him with the information I pass on. I know that it won't go any further. Anyway, we talked a lot about our childhood and our feelings about it. Our parents divorced when I was 6 and he was 3/4. It was a brutal, messy situation and we've both pretty much blocked out most of what happened in our lives before our mom finally packed us up and left one weekend while dad was out of town. I have so many holes in my memory and he was able to fill in some of those blanks. He seems to remember events - like vignettes - while I remember emotions and feelings from the moment. Though I don't remember the moments themselves. I'm not sure if that makes sense or not. (2 Comments |Comment on this)
11:05 am	Well, here I am! I've been on WC for a few years and I'm sure in a few days I'll venture back over, but for now I'm kinda tired of the cattiness there. I'm really upset and need a breather, but I don't want to miss out on chronicling my pregnancy! Baby W (aka Girvin, 'a small, tough child') is due November 6th. Adam, my DH, and I are thrilled. We didn't exactly have the easiest time with TTC, though by no means did we have a truly difficult time. It took us 5 cycles / about 7 months to conceive. My cycles have always been longer than normal and erratic. As a matter of fact, if we hadn't succeeded when we did, I would've gone on Clomid the very next cycle. In hindsight I'm not sure that would've been the right choice for us, but I'm grateful it was never an issue. I'm definitely in favor of testing for problems and correcting what can be corrected via meds and medical intervention. At the moment, we're 13 weeks, 5 days along. Weeks 6 through 8 were by far the most brutal in terms of morning sickness. Fortunately, my OB is in favor of giving out anti-anemics so I went on Zofran after suffering through several days of being able to keep nothing in my stomach. I'm still on the Zofran now and I'm still nauseated, but I think in general I'm starting to get better. (2 Comments |Comment on this)
