Planning Parenthood

( Collapse )

A couple weeks ago we found out our little man was breech when we did a size ultrasound after I found out I had gestational diabetes, well as of yesterday he's still breech and the doctor gave us until today to decide if we want to try and turn him or not and boy was that a rough night we had calling relatives and friends for advice, arguing, going over pros and cons to each situation...
After a lot of debate we decided that we're not going to turn the baby, he wants to be breech for a reason so we're just going to let him be if he turns on his own then more power to him. So we have a c-section scheduled for the 14th at 8am, i'll get to come home on the 16th....hey maybe this year i'll finally get to have some green beer for St. Patricks Day!!! LOL I'm such an alcoholic thinking about beer the day after I get home hehe. I don't even like beer! Anyway thats what we're doing, i'm pretty excited about it, still a little nervous about going into labor before then but hey that's life.

First of all I am sooo NOT a morning person. I generally wake up at 5am with Ben and then go back to bed when he goes to work until 11 or noon. Today I have a home visit with a nutritionist which was scheduled for 8:30am. At 8:40 she calls me from the office and tells me she's on her way, now this lady knows that I made an extreme effort to be awake this early so that I could get going with my stuff to help my GD today instead of waiting until next week because this was the only time she had available today and so i'm not exactly happy with her at the moment as i'm VERY tired and want to go back to bed!! lol So yeah, I just needed to vent, i'm barely keeping my eyes open here so she better hurry it up. Thanks for listening.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Well my appointment wasn't so great, I have to go take the 3 hour glucose test
on monday because i had sugar in my urine (That could have had something to do
with the Pepsi's I had at lunch though) They have now pronounced me
semi-diabetic but the good news was that because of it the baby should be right
on time and if I really wanted to I could even have him on my birthday providing
my cervix is favorable for induction and if I don't go into labor on my own so I
guess thats the bright side of it even though they'd only let me be about a week
overdue without the diabetes problem but either way at least I know I won't be
pregnant with him forever lol.

So I've been having these dizzy spells lately. They just kinda come over me and I feel like i'm going to pass out or fall over if i don't sit or lay down. Of course sitting doesn't help much and when I lay down i can feel my blood pumping and I feel like I just had a full body workout and i'm all rubbery, of course then when I lay down I end up falling asleep because keeping my eyes open just makes me feel more sick like I just threw up and it's gonna happen again. So I went to the doctor today and he was kinda freaked out by what's happening, he considered bed rest but felt that 12 weeks was a long time for anyone to stay in bed and it would be different if I only had a few weeks left. So he did some tests, I did my 1 hour GD test a week early and will hopefully get results tomorrow I don't want to have GD but if thats whats causing this weird shit to happen i'll be glad to have some kind of explanation and a way to fix it. So for now i'm going to try and take it easy so I don't get any more sick so I've been painting in spurts, paint, sit down for 30 minutes, paint, sit down...etc. So far i've been ok and hopefully it'll stay that way. So far my options could be that I have GD or Pregnancy Induced Hypertension which I believe is high blood pressure or pre-eclampsia but I don't have high blood pressure so that would be a little odd. So now i'm off to bed. More later when I get results.

Oh and for anybody who wonders, the red drink for the test isn't bad at all, it tasted like Hawaiian Punch and I had the whole bottle down in about a minute.


P.S. First uterus measurement was 30 cm so he's about 30 weeks in size.

For you, it's all about sharing times with family. Even if you all get a bit cheesy at times.

I was a big fat wuss today let me tell you!!
I went to the dentist for a filling, nobody had told me how many I needed or how the process went, just that I needed them. I asked the assistant how many i needed done she said 2 well I assumed already that I needed at least one which would have been the tooth that was cracked when I got my wisdom teeth pulled when I was 19 and I was okay with it, I knew it was coming but then when the actual dentist said i had to have like 8 or 10 (i can't remember) done I freaked out, started shaking and fought to keep the tears back and it got even worse when i worked up the guts to ask what the exact procedure was. I think I got as far as her describing the sting of the needle and my mouth going numb and I knew this shit was not gonna happen today, I thought i might faint by the time she'd gotten to talking about the drill so then we discussed the options of me being put out or using laughing gas after the baby is here...I think i'm gonna go with being put out and see if Cathy has any ideas on maybe using my anxiety as a reason for the state to pay for it. I honestly don't know how i handle tattoos but it's definitely not as scary as a filling.

Midnight moonlight shining through the curtain lace
Paints a perfect picture on your perfect face
One sweet angel sleeping in my arms
You are the promise I knew God would keep
You are the gift that makes my world complete

And you'll never know how much I love you
But I'll keep on telling you my whole life through
Now I believe in miracles, and you're the reason why
So dream on while I sing you my angel's lullaby

Ben got to feel Casper kick for the first time last night, it was a wonderful experience. Now if i could just feel him kick from the outside but it's like i'm trying so hard to figure out where he's going to kick next I lose my concentration on feeling it with my hand lol.

I know this is kinda petty but some of my girls from pg.org might understand
how I feel.

I've been changing my pregnancy ticker since I found out I was pregnant
because I wanted to have one nobody else had. I've tried signing up with
different sites, changing my design and everything else I could think of to make
my ticker different and no matter what I fucking do, SOME FUCKING BITCH just HAS
to take my ticker and make it their own and I mean EXACT. I'm beyond sick of
seeing 3 other people with my exact same ticker. Like I said I know it's petty
but goddamn i can't even be original, someone has to copy me! Let me also point
out that its people who are on the same board as me who are copying my ticker.
It would be different if some random person on the site had the same one but
when you're in a thread and 5 other people have the same ticker on the same
board there's something wrong.

Some people would say "Well at least you know that you were the first to do
it." yeah but I don't want or need followers I just want to be myself, original
and unique! GRRR!!!!! I just needed to vent, thanks for reading if you bothered
to take the time.
