W14D4.Thursday.July 30th
wow - so this isn't the "daily" or even more often log I had planned and hoped it to be
I could complain that if I had a way to update from my cell - that I would update more - but that is not altogether true - with the exception of a couple days while I took vacation and the two weekends prior, I didn't have good internet availability at home - but that has been repaired for a while - and still only one post made it to this log
I can definitely pinpoint the exact reason/excuse for my neglect this past week - I DIDN'T WANT TO - I am in a bad place I tell you - hormone central has had me bawling for days in a row - taking EVERYTHING out of context and turning it into the world's most unappreciated and unloved mother/wife in the world - what a pity party!!! I must be on the mend somewhat because I can actually discuss it without feeling overwhelmed. Which I am sure I still am - yet I have gotten a bit of my "positive spin" balance back and that helps tremendously. I was actually so upset that I am almost positive without the help from conversations with my mother and two of my best friends that I would be separated from my family and sleeping on someone's couch or even in the van for most of this week. Pregnancy hormones and the hardest head on Earth do not make for a happy Viki.
okay so that's off my chest - which is HUGE - I really need some alone time to get some good pics - I bet these hooters would cost thousands to reproduce :-)
my weight this week has been 141.5 - 142
I have been drinking a couple sodas a day but also milk every night with oreos - yum - is it bedtime yet?
thankfully I am pooping regularly - about a week ago I got a bit scared though - we had eaten at golden corral's buffet one night and then at my favorite pizzeria’s lunch buffet the next day and there was no sign of poop for two days following - didn't turn out bad at all - just the fear of the unknown that had me biting my nails (for FIBER!!!)
I hate to type this - I feel I will jinx myself - but superstitions aside - it's inevitable - I think the heartburn is starting - very mild right now - only 3 or 4 small bouts this past week that quickly dissipated. Yeah! I’m not stupid though – I know it will come again with a vengeance and stay with me until D Day. My dilemma? I clearly recall taking meds for it with Junior kept them at home and in my purse and at work – they were WONDERFUL and worked very quickly and tasted great! What more could you ask for during late pregnancy. BUT THEY DON”T MAKE THEM ANYMORE!!! UUUGGHGGHHHHH – I hate trying new meds – just to pop something in your mouth and have no idea if I am gonna gag from the disgusting taste or texture or if I get it past my taste buds and then it doesn’t even work and then there’s all the wasted money since I won’t keep it if it makes me gag or doesn’t work! I do need to record one of my pregnancy burps though – they do gross me out but also amuse me because I am sooo not a burper. I’ve always faked a burp noise just so if I said “excuse or pardon me” people wouldn’t assume I had farted because my burps were always silent.
I am enjoying a large lot of maternity clothes my friend has loaned me for the season – most hang on me still – but so comfortable – but there’s a couple tops in there that really accentuate the positives of pregnancy :-) I know I say this now but will likely complain full force come the holidays this year – one thing I have to look forward to is the cutest maternity coat I have ever seen – is it bad for me to wish for and early fall this year????
And I thought I was supposed to be having more energy by the 14th week – did I need to go back a recalculate this whole thing????? My first semester FLEW by and the third will be here in the blink of an eye :-( I was just hoping for a couple months of energy in the middle! Fingers crossed maybe it’ll come back next week!

W13D2.Tuesday.July 21st
ok so once a week is better than none at all
i'm TIRED really tired - i have 20 minute spurts where my brain has energy and starts thinking of all kinds of stuff for my body to do - then BAM! I get worn out again
i tried to get to sleep early last night at 8pm - no such luck - after 9 before it finally happened and then after two different mid-sleep potty breaks i was awakened for the day by a VERY LOUD, WHINY st bernard at 613am
i am so tired - perhaps that is related to my current amnesia of how to function in life (e.g. - don't tip your waitress 20% AT A BUFFET; when you pay the babysitter on the 15th every month for 3 years, don't forget about it like it never happened every morning and every evening for six days; don't forget to buy side dishes for every meal you have prepared for a week while you walk around the grocery store stuffing your cart with double stuff oreo cookies, among other "NON-side dishes")
i want my memory back - it's literally gotten to the point where i just pray each day that no one expect anything of me - so that i can just slip through existence slumped over with my eyes half open
and the worst part (yet the absolute best part is) IT AIN"T GONNA GET BETTER - in fact in 5 months and 3 weeks approximately i'm definitely going to get even LESS sleep but i'll live - and i'll have a brand new baby to smell and suggle and smooch - i can hardly wait :-)
weight - 140.5 or 138.5 (I CAN"T REMEMBER - boo hoo hoo - i am so pitiful)
cokes - 3 so far
water - zippy
bloody boogers - 1.5

W12D2.Tuesday.July 14th
Ok so that was a huge break in posts...THREE weeks in fact....wow...but as the saying goes....no news is good news and so was this break for the most part
I'm two days back from a 10 day vacation from work and thoroughly enjoyed my time off...especially the naps! I did however experience some queasiness whenever my eating schedule got "off" or if I accidentally skipped a meal. That problem was rectified easily enough.
I have been noticing in the past two weeks that I have bloody boogers and I mean no british slang here. I am just thankful the blood dried into boogers and I was spared 14 bloody noses!
If I had posted this blog yesterday it would have been with nerves in turmoil because we had our 'genetics' ultrasound scheduled for this morning and over the past week I had worked myself into a basket case on the inside. On the outside I was calm cool and collected or at least I tried to be - promising to take any result in stride. And though there is still a small possibility due to my old egg, the initial screening looked fine. All the kids and Joe got to see the baby. It was still too small to see it's 'privates' but measured 1.89 inches crown to rump, had two arms and two legs (good thing since it brought back memories of my dream during Jaime's pregnancy of her being born with a wing). The heartbeat was 154. I will post a scan of the pics as soon as possible to the website. My favorite shows it munching on it's hand or something to that effect.
Tomorrow I go to the regular docs office. Woohoo. I get to hear the heart beat again. And I'll be seeing my favorite nurse. Perhaps she'll let me record the heartbeat to my ringtones. That would be cool!
By the way, the scans show week 12 day 5 but I am supposed to only be 12 weeks and 2 days, splitting hairs - I KNOW - but you know me :-)
