They're definitely worth it , it's just going to be interesting trying to juggle all this without jeopardizing my job/going broke
It seems like this month is all of our big weight gain months!! I've gained 8 pounds this month!! It looks like Helena, Sierra and I all gained about the same, so maybe it's a totally normal growth-spurt month? I'm at 16 pounds total now, and the Dr says that's perfectly normal, but I about passed out when I saw the number on the scale. It looks like I'll be watching what I eat a bit more!
Baby seems great, heart beat of 158. I had my thyroid levels checked again, and should get those results tomorrow. Also, I'm supposed to go see a cardiologist My ob doesn't feel comfortable handling my heart thing, and wants me to wear one of those monitors that creates a 24-hour record of your heart rate. I know it's standard procedure, but just hearing "cardiologist" makes me a bit sad. I've been pretty health-conscious since having cancer as a teen, and I hate to think something is wrong with my body. Ah well, better safe than sorry!!
I hope everyone has a great Halloween! It's pouring rain here, but the show must go on! IT looks like we'll be breaking out the umbrellas.
Phew! At least I'm not alone in the weight gain! haha! I'm sorry to hear about the cardiologist, wamommy---that's rough. . .but hopefully it'll be a one-time thing and everything will go well and you won't have to worry about it again! And---I didn't know you had cancer as a teen!? I did too! I was 17 at the time and had Hodgkin's lymphoma. . .I went through chemo, radiation, surgeries--the whole bit. I didn't know we had that in common!
Moan required. Only small one. Feelng really rather irritated by the inlaws.we mentioned last night we might be having baby on the first of feb. But the it is not confirmed. Right away they are online looking at flights and suggesting their visit dates. And of course the dates are longer than I want, because of cheap flights. Now I don't give a fig about cheap flights, i want to tell them specific dates they can come. Basically we invite them for specific dates, not them suggesting dates. I felt so stressed out and annoyed last time with them here.
Basically they can come stay with the boys for 5 days while I am in hospital then leave the day after I get out as is need a week alone to leak milk and sit in pjs. They can see baby every day if they want in hospital.
We are going to offer to pay their flights if it means them not staying an extra 3 days to get cheaper flights...but then someone will be offended. I mean, how do we explain that we don't want them here an extra couple of nights even if it is a lot cheaper.....will mention leaky boobs and hope they get the idea...I can't very well say I just find them so annoying I was in tears last time and can't face that again!...
Oh why is it all so complicated?
