Well I had my checkup today and all doc did was feel my uterus and we listened to the heartbeat for the first time!! That was awesome!!<\/p>\n
Afterwards I went to a few stores and would you believe that half the traffic lights on my side of town were out!!! that was very annoying-but I managed to squeeze in lunch (chili cheese dog and watermelon slush) and now I am relaxing while the clothes wash.<\/p>\n
Today has been a great day so far . . . . I got up at 7:15 and one of my good friends dropped off her Daughter (meagan) at 8. We made breakfast, watched a little TV\u2026.THEN I TRIED ON MY SWIMSUITS FROM LAST SUMMER\u00c2 Okay there was no way I was wearing any of THOSE in public. The whole point of Meagan coming over was so we could go to the pool\u2026..<\/p>\n
SO off to the mall we went\u2026I got stuff from Motherhood<\/p>\n
We then went to the pool and had fun, came home and ate and then I took her hom! The shorts were in a coral color \u2014 NOT BLACK!<\/b><\/p>\nSusan left<\/h1>\n
Monday, June 07, 2004<\/h2>\n
My Sister left. . . the visit was short and sweet! She brought her husband and two boys.<\/p>\n
She got in late Saturday night (DH and I swam ALL DAY Saturday) and we all stayed up until around midnight \u2014 \u2013 DH wasn\u2019t home so I was in bed watching TV until around 1. He got home at 3. . . he was fixing my laptop at Josh\u2019s.<\/p>\n
We went back to the Pool Sunday with the kids and stayed for a few hours\u2026. I\u2019m getting a bit of a TAN so hopefully it sticks.(I don\u2019t usually keep a tan \u2014 it just fades)<\/p>\n
After we got home and ready we went out to eat and Garry (BIL) treated.<\/p>\n
They left about 2 this afternoon<\/p>\n
I think I am officially in my 2nd Trimester!! YAY! 13 weeks!<\/p>\n
We closed on the house so its finally gone!<\/p>\n
Today was a mess\u2026I ended up mad at Charlie because he thought I was nuts for wanting to start picking up everyday things like diapers (I only want to get a pack or two a month or so until I get closer than a pack or so a week) ANYWAYS he thought I was nuts and made be burst into tears in the store\u00c2 .. crazy pg lady that I am\u2026 well I was annoyed with him for about 2-3 hours and finally forgave him, after all tomorrow is his first unofficial fathers day!<\/p>\n
15 weeks already?<\/p>\n
I read somewhere that baby can\u2019t register what is being said but s\/he can hear this week!!<\/p>\n
In other news. I am pretty down right now!! We cant find my HANDLES!!! I really need those for inaccessible places \u2014 we\u2019ve looked EVERYWHERE<\/p>\n
I am up 6-7.5 lbs at fifteen weeks \u2026<\/p>\n
I was 111 -112 and now I am up 118-118.5<\/p>\n
I\u2019m only buying small maternity right now- \u2013 even with the belly in the dressing rooms \u2014 I have PLENTY of room in the smalls \u2013 \u2013 except some of the teeny shirts that I can wear not pg . . .those wont fit when I am bigger than the dressing room belly \u2026<\/p>\n
Guess what?~ My husband almost smashed my head today. He was helping me in the dressing room and sometimes its easier for someone to help me get my pants up \u2013( imagine pulling pants up sitting down and not being able to lift your legs to pull them up , so see why I get help sometimes??)
\nAnyways he was helping me and lifted a little to much on my pants and I swung forward and smashed my head into the mirror. Thankfully there was something there to keep me in the chair so I didnt spill on the floor.<\/p>\n
July 27 is my BIG day!!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My wheelchair cushion got a huge hole in it so DH has now tried a second thing to fix it \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 I need to order a new one but they are $350 but I have to have it because I can\u2019t be on my chair without it. Well Anyways he used an old pool float, crazy glue and goop \u2013 \u2013 its covered anyways so you can\u2019t see the ugly stuff.<\/p>\n
Girls night IN was fun \u2014 someone told me I was HUGE\u00c2 \u2014 I kinda flipped and said \u201cWHERE?? MY belly is virtually still flat!!!!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n
She got a little red and said \u201d NO I mean your boobs\u201d<\/p>\n
I am having a C-section and cant have an epidural and dont want general anaesthesia<\/p>\n
A little background \u2014<\/p>\n
I am a L1,2 Paraplegic with rods from around L4 up to my bra line, so T5 or 6ish???!
\nFeeling doesnt stop at the belly button COMPLETLY but it starts to fade at the belly button. Even though I can\u2019t feel touches to the skin I can feel deep right up to my pubic bone. TMI but I cannot feel sex.<\/p>\n
I do not want to go under general anaesthesia unless I REALLY MUST!! I do know I cant have an epidural due to the Spinal Cord Injury.<\/p>\n
WHat other anaesthesia are out there for me that I can know about ahead of time and ask for so they dont do general\u2026.<\/p>\n
I want to be awake when they do my C-section so DH can be in there and so I can see my baby right away instead of waiting in recovery.<\/p>\n
I have been under general several times and come out quicky but I dont want to wait at all!!!!!!!<\/p>\n
My friend Tiffany had her baby, girl!!!\u00c2 Her little girl was 7lbs; 9oz and 19.5 inches \u2014 she was born at 12:20 PM!!<\/p>\n
We had our BIG U\/S today and we are 75% sure it\u2019s a GIRL!!<\/p>\n
The coffee didnt really work \u2013 \u2013 and the doctor saw 2 lines that he is ALMOST positive are the labia!! There was definitly NOT a penis or scrotum. anywhere in sight . . And he said we are going to say girl, he wrote down that I am having a girl and he is now going call baby her\/she and do another U\/S in 8 weeks to be certain . . . and reassure CHarlie before he spends hours painting pink stripes .<\/p>\n
In case anyone is curious, she\u2019s lying completly across me . .. head somewhere under left boob, butt under right boob and feet between my ribs ; thank god i havent felt it!! (obviously not as high as my boob just where in my belly she is in relation)<\/p>\n
Anyways as far as clothes, I was good today and only bought one little OshKosh outfit for spring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
