13-12-2009 - Cranky as hell...

My mood while writing this blog: Grrr

WTF????? I feel like crap...2nd trimesters are supposed to be cake! Besides having allergy issues that I can take NOTHING for and not being able to breathe, I'm showing all of the signs of gestational diabetes and or preeclampsia... Really, 1 out of 3 can't be a normal pregnancy...really? Did I mention that bedrest is NOT an option. Sure I am capable of working from home but some angry strange little man in my department will complain that I'm getting special treatment so I won't be allowed. Oh and did I also mention that just in case I'm psychotic and actually don't have diabetes or BP issues, I've already been having contractions. Last time I was placed on modified bed rest at 17 weeks but I wasn't working then. Now we have a house, 2 kids etc and my paycheck is crucial. Seriously, what do people do in this situation, short term only covers 6 weeks full pay ... That won't take me very far won't even cover 8 weeks maternity leave for a c-section. Suggestions, anyone?

On a more positive note, it feels like the peanut is taking kickboxing classes in my belly... HUGE FAN!!!
