12-9-2009 - Some Updates

My mood while writing this blog: Happy

---

So I realized I've been bad about updating on the pregnancy, my last blog about it was when we were 20 week and found out that it's a girl! So since then I've had 2 appointments. The first one was August 10th, it was with the doctor but uneventful (which at that point in the pregnancy is definitely a good thing! :)) My weight gain was 5 lbs which was a bummer, but other than that everything went well! The last appointment was September 8th (this last Tuesday). I saw the Nurse Practitioner Mori. She kept me waiting for like half an hour and my tummy was upset so I ended up having to make a dash for the bathroom... while I made it I also managed to clog up the toilet... and overflow it.. how embarrassing! I spent probably 15 minutes and almost all of their paper towels cleaning it up as best as possible... and then I had to go and confess to someone so they could get it cleaned up! So when I finally got into the appointment Mori had been in there and gone, and hubby had told her what had happened.... ugh, so she saw me and came back in, asked how everything was going, everything is fine, I've had some pain in my pubic bone which she says is because the bone softens up during pregnancy and she doesn't think mine got back to regular between pregnancies since they are so close together, so that's why I'm having pain this time around, she she suggested vitamin D supplements for my hip pain too, I think it's supposed to help with joints? I'm not sure.. but she also suggested that I use a belly band thing to help give support and try not to walk around too much or lift Bekah up as much because it makes you bear down a little or something. obviously the last two aren't going to help at all since I can't stop chasing around my daughter and I won't stop picking her up unless I absolutely HAVE to so I am going to pick up some Vitamin D next time I'm at the store and I've borrowed my sister's belly band and it seems to be helping! I only gained 2lbs this time though, Yay! I asked her about my total weight gain so far cuz she said it looked good so I was curious what it was, she said 11lbs from when they started taking my weight (it was after I lost some weight and then gained some of it back in the first trimester), and only 8lbs from where I told them I started so that's great so far! I'm hoping to keep going at this rate and gain no more than another 10 lbs, but that's just a hope, there's still 13 weeks left so it's possible, but at this point last time I was gaining a lb a week so I may or may not reach that goal! We'll see!
Sarah has been moving like CRAZY! my belly has been jumping all over the place when she gets in her active spurts. She's found my ribs, she seems to like pushing into them already! Silly girl! I get to see her on Monday, we have our 3d ultrasound! I'm excited to see her again! but not really looking forward to another busy work week starting! (especially busy since I'm having to make up hours for 2 appointments).
I think that's all I have to update for now so I will leave you at that! If I remember I will try to get the 3d ultrasound pictures posted on Monday!

I am literally laughing so hard I might pee myself. Sorry, with Presley the last 2 months of my pregnancy I had severe diarrhea and had several incidents. So, its nice to know I am not the only one. I know that was embarrassing, but it happens. Thanks for the update!! I was wondering how you were doing. Can you believe we are already in our 3rd trimester!! Time is flying by!!!

That toilet incident SO sounds like something that would happen to me! You poor thing! I'm glad little Sarah is thriving and healthy! Thanks for updating!

Sounds like things are going great for you. I can't believe how far along you are already. Is the time going as fast for you as it is for me? I bet it will slow down now that I'm pregnant again...
