Well, things are going about the same.... declectin seems to help me less and less, however... I wonder if I'm building up an immunity to it. Or I'm thinking how much more horrible would I be feeling if I wasn't on it? I'm so tired of feeling nauseous every day all day, but those are boring complaints..... no fun at all!
What is fun is that my mom sent me some more baby stuff from second hand stores around CR, and there's some great receiving blankets and a little towel with the head pocket that I love so much.... those are awesome.
Phil's birthday went well, we went glow bowling and drew on each other with highlighters.... Aunty Nora sent me some wheat germ oil for my tummy, and Phil got a pregnancy massage video from the library.
Cyarra's been freaking out today, running around and meowing restlessly, she punctured my side with a claw climbing up me, and she keeps running full speed into the bedroom, knocking something down, then running full speed back up the stairs again. Little devil, I wonder how she'll be with the baby...
I've been thinking of getting a midwife. I spoke to someone at church and she told me they were covered in BC, and it sounds like that would be cool. I guess I'm just anxious to have someone with medical or birthing knowledge pay attention to me. My Doctor's kinda short and distant, and the Langley Mat Centre took 2 weeks to call me back and I don't have an appointment till May 14, which means I probably won't get my ultrasound until like, two weeks later, and I'm still in limbo about exactly how far along I am cuz my Dr. and I didn't really know.... if I go by her figuring I'll be 10 weeks on Thursday, but I think I'm about a week shorter than that, only 9 weeks or so. I'm supposed to be able to get an ultrasound to figure it out, but no one seems to be able to or interested in seeing me.
sucks.
maybe a midwife can help.... I'm on the waiting list at one clinic, and the others are only open Tuesday and Thursday.
Phi'ls getting worried, he keeps fretting that if there's something wrong with the baby we'll have no way of knowing until like June, and that sucks..... I think he'd be easier with it all if I wasn't so sick. Poor guy, it's not easy living with me right now. I sometimes can't kiss him because I'm so nauseous....
wait, I wasn't going to complain.
K, I need to go and do some wonderful homework, which I'm behind with as usual. Much love to everyone!

Come vent on the Pregnancy forum on my site! Someone there will undoubtedly be able to to relate!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon. I hear morning sickness is the pits. *hug*
I hear you on the nausea.loud and clear. luckily mine is more intermittent now rather then all damn day. whats almost more annoying than the nausea is all the bloody advice people have for getting rid of it. I have no advice. all the stories I got were just that. stories.
ReplyDeleteits pretty shitty that you cant get in to the clinic in a timely fashion. I hope the Midwife thing works out for you. I didnt realize before just how lucky I am to have a dedicated family doctor with referral to an OBGYN ( they're both irish... its awesomely comforting for some reason)
I can understand Phils paranoia. the calm that comes after the first ultrasound doesnt really last long though ;p nothing like pregnancy to bring out the worry. everything will be fine though. young and healthy parents oftentimes make for healthy babies.
the cat thing too is something I can relate too. Im a little worried about a couple of mine in regards to them being able to acknowledge a newborn as a HUMAN with PERSONAL SPACE when they are running around like the furry freaks that they are. while generally very loving and not mean at all, occasionally my cats can be little psychopaths. that can't be good but I think a couple cat scratches is better than cat allergies. ( yes apparently having more than one cat seriously lowers any risks of children getting cat allergies. One cat does not lower the risk and may even make it worse. Idunno how much faith should be put into that but NO ONE in my family has animal allergies and we all grew up surrounded by animals but Jasons brother and a lot of people I know that DO have allergies had just one or no cats at all when they were babies/young children)
Whoa. ok. Im done now. I do hope youre feeling better shortly. it would be lovely if the second trimester rule actually works for you!
lol, thanks Steph... I looked over the site and read a lot of interesting things and found some good links. Even became a member. I've got enough ppl to vent to tho... :) I'm all happy and surrounded by friends like you and Alysha....
ReplyDeletekinda feel guilty venting with you around Alysha, I know you went through more crap by a million than I am... and you're probably still!
I know what you mean about ppl's stories... I don't mind hearing them though... I just don't get my hopes up. So far ginger tea has made me sicker, and crackers do nothing that other food doesn't do...
I'm craving meat, but then meat makes me sick... weird eh?
Might I add Alysha that you are the most awesome person ever and just gave me a reason to convince Phil to let me get another cat someday? as it is we have two in the house, Cyarra and Gavin so I'm hoping that will immunize our baby a bit! :D I'd love to have three or four, but we figured the landlord wouldn't like it much.
can't sit upright anymore.... going to lie down. love you both! I hope you're feeling better Alysha, and we need to all get together (you me Lee and Em) and have pregnancy photoshoots in July before you and Lee pop. It'll be the sexiest day EVER.
