I ended up going to see my ob today cause I’ve been not feeling very well, somehow the dr didnt realize it wasnt a routine appt but one of those call the day of and pray someone will see you deals, so she did all the routine normal ob appt stuff including doing a check w/ the u/s for the heartbeat since they had been having trouble finding it before. she said that it would be hard to see since my bladder was empty but had I known she’d be doing it I would have asked for some water after giving my “sample”. So I quickly glimpsed the baby and she showed me it when it moved. She didnt count the heartbeats but it was enough for me! I go again in 2 weeks for my normal appointment. I thought it was odd she did the u/s because of the hassle to get my last one done, and if I get a bill for it they’ll hear about it. I’m guessing they just send you somewhere else to get complete u/s and that since it was just a quickee that they wont charge me for it.
I am excited to have lost 2 lbs since my appt two weeks ago. I thought it was strange I had already gained 4 lbs as of the last appt since w/ my first two I never gained til the third trimester so now w/ having lost 2 of those lbs. I have only gained 2 lbs since the beginning, that doesnt sound so bad to me! I know I shouldnt be concerned w/ weight during pregnancy but when you’re already overweight every pound makes a difference! That and like I said I dont usually gain this early so it was new to me! I’ve been wearing my old clothes, the ones I wore before I lost all the weight and they are so big on me. the smaller sized clothes I had bought when I lost so much weight fit but were too uncomfy and since I went down 2 sizes the i never bought the middle size, which I need now! So I’m wearing the 2 sizes too big clothes and it looks horrible! Shirts arent so bad but my pants are all too big, which is nice so I have room to grow but they look horrible while I am too small for them. I hate the inbetween sizes of pregnancy. but I am glad they dont fit becuase that proves I’m still doing better than I was weight wise!
Bo is walking quite well these days and Caleb can write his name and a bunch of other letters. He can even write them without seeing them first, most of them anyway. He’s got a lot of friends in his class and it seems he quite popular even; all of the kids talk to him and call out to him when he walks by. I’m hoping this means he wont have as bad an experience in school as I did as a child, being an outcast and made fun of. Dean of course said this means he’ll be the one making fun of other kids but I dont think it’s in his personality, he cares too much for other people and i dont think he’ll purposefully hurt another kid, at least not for a while! Well Bo needs help calming down for bed so gotta run. I’ve been extremely tired and generally not feeling well but at least now I know the baby is ok and I’ll get back some labwork either tomorrow or the next day which will hopefully help figure out what’s wrong. if it’s not these things I am afraid it will be the beginning of starting my diabetic diet, I am supposed to start daily finger sticks after my appt in 2 weeks so I hope that it’s not that! but at least w/ starting finger sticks early I might be able to avoid meds this time. I just wish i didnt feel so bad; I’d love to have the second trimester energy that is supposed to happen……
