Well, I had my first prenatal appointment today, almost. My nurse was really nice, chatty and friendly. She was able to put me at my ease (I generally clam up in doctor offices). She went through a dizzying amount of information, including all the tests we were going to have today and the required and [...]

Shortly after my post stating that my nighttime stomach pains had passed and that I had no cravings, I started having the cramps again (not every night, but every few, including last night) and craving Taco Bell. Bean burritos, fresco style. I’ve given in twice. My other cravings have included soy cream cheese and sliced [...]

Over the weekend the three of us got some good hanging out and strolling around in, despite my sleepy blobbishness. One thing we discussed was a new idea of NT’s: Turn AS’s sewing room into the baby bedroom, and move her sewing operation out into the dining area.
At first I was hesitant, because AS has [...]
Week 8: Tired all the time

Apparently the little thing is over half an inch long now, and developing webbed fingers and toes! Woo hoo, I have a freakbaby!
A lot has changed during the past week or two. The nighttime cramps subsided over a week ago, but I would still wake up in the middle of the night, sometimes staying up [...]
Week 7: books and a bump

This week, according to MayoClinic.com, our bug is about 1/3 inch long! That’s quite a bit of progress from just 1/8 inch.
We’re having chilly fall-like weather here in the Twin Cities, so I’ve been wearing pants a lot. My plan of existing in my stretchy and/or loose-fitting sundresses and skirts for most of the summer [...]
Curiosity is killing me

So I guess now I’m in a very looong waiting time before I find out if my pregnancy is going OK. July 30 seems like a million miles away! I’ve been having all sorts of weird symptoms, but half of them are probably psychosomatic or symptoms more of nervous excitement than anything else. Reduced appetite, [...]
It happened!!

So yesterday I was talking to AS about my symptoms-not-symptoms and not wanting to feel stupid for jumping the gun and using a pregnancy test every time my period was a little late. We went back and forth for a while, and finally she said, “Well, the only way to stop worrying and wondering is [...]
Stupid weird body
Posted in pregnancy, tagged pregnancy on July 7, 2009 | Comments Off
Sigh…I hate how every possible symptom of an oncoming period could also be a sign of pregnancy and vice versa. So I’m about a week late…but that could just be my body readjusting to its own schedule after being on the pill for so long. I’ve been having cramps for a few days that I [...]
