Writing when you think about it!

I really have been wanting to write, so much to say but so little time. When I started this blog I knew that it would take some time and commitment to do and I was up to the challenge. Except even though so many told me to get as much rest as I could, I didn't know what was in store for me. I know myself as being the queen of naps, I took a nap everyday so what was going to be the difference now? Well when I would get what I thought was the normal amount of sleep, I would attempt to get up and stir around and unpack since we just had moved again.....NOT!!! Where did that come from, boy oh boy I put a hurt on some sleep, I found new ways to enjoy my pillow, my bed and those covers whooo weeeee LOL. I never thought I could sleep that much. Yes we had work to do, yes I was fine. As far as morning sickness went, none, zip, zero, zilch I didn't have any, but sleeping... I had a new meaning for good sleep.

I want to go on the record by saying this has been so wonderful, the pregnancy and seeing my stomach grow, I try to incorporate my hubby in all that I experience so that I'm not being selfish about all that I'm going through. He seems to like that. Every 2 weeks we have been going to the doctor, and since I was on blood pressure medicine already I had to get switched to one that would work for the baby and for me. I immediately cut out caffeine, chocolate, sodas and a lot of other things. How many know baby or no baby you cut something out like that your butt is going to pay for it. I had the worst withdrawals from not having things that I was used to, headaches and the whole nine. I prayed and God showed me why it was like that and I did more natural sugars and stuff, much better. Yes I still have a cup of mocha choco lotta yaya or to the lay people that is known as decaf coffee but I cut it down to once a week and if I have anything in it I will do soy milk. It's still good!

So back to the blood pressure, I knew that would be something that I would have to monitor closely and the doctor made sure that I did. Every time I went I couldn't even get in the office and catch my breath before they called me back to check my blood pressure. I later found out that I was getting frustrated because I could check my pressure at home before going and when I got there it was so much higher than what I had at home. I got reprimanded by the doctor, I knew that I was eating better and doing good, why wouldn't a doctor consider that when you are rushing to get there on time? That may be the cause of your blood pressure going up. HMMMM? I had to talk to Rick and he suggested that I take my time and go and wait before going into the office.......can you say DUH???
Remember I'm not the professional, you would think that the doctor would think of that. Thanks honey you are so good to and for me!
So after getting over that hump and getting back on track we started concentrating on the things to come, like the ultrasound to hopefully see what the sex of the baby was going to be. By now we have done blood test, urine test, more blood test and the most annoying urine test that I have ever experienced. Ladies, why is a 24 hour urine test necessary? I don't think they know, but it had to be done. The next time they asked for more urine I told them to get some of the last one that I did. LOL! She didn't think it was funny, I sure did. I also told them that I'm allergic to pain so please find my veins before sticking me. Once again they didn't share in my humor, I thought It was pretty good....Thanks I'll be here all week. OK more to come, I'm sure you are on the edge of your seat waiting for the result of the ultrasound, stay tuned!
