more baby stuff

So, before, when I thought I was having round ligament pains, I was wrong – it was just cramps from the prenatal vitamins. Now I am actually having them – sucks. Wakes me up at night. Feels like a strained muscle and hurts really sharp for like 5-10 seconds, then it's gone. Weird. It's cool though. Normal and stuff. I'm glad I'm finally in the 2nd trimester. I got a pregnancy journal from Davis Kidd, and it's cool and stuff, but there's not enough space to write what I feel in there. It's more like you put your date down and it tells you day by day the changes in your body. So that's cool and I'll keep it, but it's not like how I feel and stuff. I wanna get a scrapbook and print out my posts and stick them in there and put the baby pics and stuff in it.

officially 3 months today!

well, here it is. second trimester. cool. feels the same. :)

pregnancy induced carpal tunnel

so for the past 2 nights, i've slept on my left side (as all the pregnany books and stuff tell you to) and for the past 2 nights my right arm has fallen asleep (it's moreso my hand/wrist than my whole arm but i feel the prickling up my arm) - apparently there is such a thing as pregnancy induced carpal tunnel syndrome and this is common/normal and it sucks and i have to wait until at least march for it to go away. ick. it's cool and stuff, but i wish i could miss out on this little bit. :)

new ultrasound

went to the doctor again - they did a test for down syndrome so i got another ultrasound - this time it was an over the tummy ultrasound (was afraid it wouldn't work b/c i'm so overweight) - it's so cute!!!!! when i would laugh it would bounce around in my uterus and it was wiggling and moving around like crazy. nick was there, which made it more awesome.
i have to meet with their "patient representative" next time i go to go over insurance stuff - man i know what my insurance covers, i want them to not get it wrong. no stress, no stress - had enough of that lately, no stress, deep breath - om om om things will work out well, this i know :)
screw it, i'll just think of the cute little baby wiggling around in my belly and that makes all the stress go away :)

don’t feel different

i still don't feel pregnant - i know i'm more tired, my bowels aren't as awesome as they were, my aereola's are getting bigger (ick) as are my boobs... but i still don't feel pregnant... then again, i dunno what "pregnant" feels like - but i don't think this is it. i wanna show. i wanna show but i know that since i'm a chunky butt girl that it'll take longer b/c i'll just start to look fatter before i look pregnant.
kinda bad timing on my part, i was losing weight and doing well... then i went and got knocked up, lol - oh well, i'm still a member at the gym so i'll be hitting it as soon as i can.
not going to school this year. the financial aid department at crichton had me screwed up and i would end up having to take time off midway thru the year for the baby, so it's really best - bittersweet kinda. i don't know if i would have been able to pay enough attention being pregnant and stuff. oh well :)
