We had another appointment today...The usual things happened - weight, blood pressure, peeing in a cup...I know it all sounds like fun and games but let me just tll you, it actually got off to a rough start...Allow me to enlighten you:
So, I have this goal weight in mind of what I don't want to gain more than (and no, I will not be posting the actual number). Today I came within .2 pounds of that weight. That was enough to start the avalanche...Then our nurse (who looked like she was 12 mind you) had to switch out the regular blood pressure cuff for the (her words) larger one. Seriously? I just freaked about my wieght and you say OUT LOUD that you need to get me the larger cuff???!!?!? She also told me it looked like I could be getting a bladder infection...WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS NURSE?!?!? OMG! Well, finally she left and my amazing husband managed to make me laugh which always make me feel good. Then Dr Frank came in and as I prepared to freak out on him he said what he always says " You are not fat, yo uare doing great and you are making this look easy." I don't know why but those words, no matter how many times I hear them always shut me right up. We listened to babys heart, I told him I stopped doing the kick count chart and he said good, those are for dummies. (One reason I like Dr Frank is because he is not uppity about pregnancy...He is a realist.) I asked him if I could use icy hot and he said yes - thank the Lord! and we found out that Sev is head down and feet up which explains my constant discomfort in my right rib cage (her foot). All that said, I have to say - Nothing in this whole world could have made the ickyness of gaining weight, the constant discomfort, they heart burn and every other weird pregnancy thing float right away and give my heart wings and make me feel like the most loved woman in the world that when Nathan said today, "Babe, you are the bravest most amazing woman in the world"...that just did i for me. Thats right folks - not only do I get a kid out of this, I get the best husband/new daddy there ever was. HA!
