I’m nearly recovered from my bad cold that started last Tuesday, but even though the coughing and congestion are winding down and the achiness ins completely gone, yesterday and today I feel like I’ve taken Nyquil. My limbs feel heavy, I don’t feel like moving or thinking too much, and I yawn constantly. I guess just [...]

20 weeks, 4 days: Past the halfway point?
Posted in Parenting, Polyfidelity, polyamory, pregnancy, tagged Parenting, polyamory, Polyfidelity, pregnancy on October 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Well, I was very excited on Monday to reach the projected halfway point of my pregnancy, but I was too busy at work and at home to blog on that day.
Tuesday I was busy all day at work and coming down with a cold by the end of the day that just made me want [...]
19 weeks, 1 day: lots of good news

Friday was our long-awaited ultrasound appointment. Before it, I had searched online for how many U/S’s people usually get; I’ve seen so many blogs where people seem to get them all the time. Some people get 20-30 over the course of a pregnancy, for no good reason except they like seeing the pictures and their [...]

This morning I had a pleasant doctor’s visit. I told Dr. O about taking my after-sex meds a few weeks ago when I was experiencing UTI symptoms, which a nurse had later chewed me out for when I called in to ask about it. She said I could go back to taking the same pill [...]

Today was when we went in to discuss genetic testing options. After listening to all the possibilities, we stuck with what we’d tentatively decided on–to get the standard tetrawhoozits test (it goes by about 4 different names, so I couldn’t get one to stick in my memory) when we go for the ultrasound. If we [...]
Week 10: We have a fetus! and other random notes

We’ve been taking side photos of my belly every Friday, but if you look week to week there doesn’t seem to be much difference. Though when I look down at myself the bump seems obvious. Well, I just thought to look at the first pic (taken at about 5 or 6 weeks) to the one [...]
The real Week 9 (warning, it sucks)
Posted in Budgeting, Parenting, Polyfidelity, personal finance, pregnancy, tagged Budgeting, Parenting, personal finance, Polyfidelity, pregnancy on August 3, 2009 | 1 Comment »
So I should now be in my ninth week, which I thought I was in last week, so I don’t have any more interesting baby trivia to add.
Today I’ve been feeling nauseous off and on for about four hours. This really is one of the first times I’ve had feel-like-I’m-going-to-vomit type nausea; smells and things [...]
First appointment nearly complete

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 [...]
Week 9: cramps, cravings and…craven financials

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 [...]
New possible floor plan

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 [...]
