back

MY BACK HURTS!! That's all I have to say.

Oh man...

It's been a long day. I started out sick this morning so I checked my blood sugar..218! What the? I'm hypoglycemic so to have my blood sugar over 130 is rare. After I checked it I had to run to the bathroom 3 times. I was feeling a little better though so I checked it again...81. i called the nurse and she said if I can't keep it stable I need to come in. So I am monitoring a few times a day and when I start to feel dizzy and sick. We'll see how it goes. I'm hoping it doesn't get too bad. It's no fun when you can't go anywhere for fear of passing out for no apparent reason causing everyone around to go into a panic. I usually wait until Michael is home to run any errands so that doesn't happen.

My tummy is also getting very heavy. I keep getting a severe pain in my left side right by my ribs. I get it sometimes when I'm doing crunches, when I'm not preggo. But lately it feels like my stomach is just pulling on it all the time. I'm not sure what I did. Maybe just tore a muscle or something. Oh the joys of a maxwell pregnancy. We all seem to handle them so wonderfully. I have a belly pic but again you will have to wait to see it.

22 weeks

I don't have a picture to post today because we still have no internet at our house. I need to bring my camera stuff to work and just hook it up. If I did have a picture you would all laugh though. My stomach doubled in size in the past week. It is pretty funny. I will try and remember to bring the camera in tomorrow.

Michael is not so sure he wants to name the baby Keija now...any suggestions. Lets get a list going...maybe we'll have a vote...LOL yeah right.

Ultrasound

We had our "big" ultrasound today. Everything is great. Well our internet is out at our house so I will have to go up to mom's to scan the ultrasound picture. The doctor saw nothing to be concerned about. He measured all her little limbs and every single one showed the exact same due date which is our original due date. He said he has never had a more perfectly proportioned baby on ultrasound or one that fell on the exact due date on everything. I just thought it was funny. She is measuring at exactly 20 weeks and 5 days. So our due date is still June 26th. I'm hoping she would like to come just a bit early so I can have a longer summer. We'll see how things go. Well I have to get some actual work done today so I've got to go. Bye.

Belly picture

So I took another picture at night and that made the difference in the picture. Also the angle on the one a few weeks ago was kind of sideways. Anyway, I am at work so I'll have to post more later.

20 Weeks...half way...woohoo!!!

I can't belive we are half way there. It is so crazy. We have our "big" ultrasound on monday to check everything and make sure Keija is still Keija and not Kingston :) Here are the latest belly pictures. I think they look smaller than the last ones. I think it's because it's morning, the others were taken in the evening. I'll take another one tonight and see if there is a difference.

I have been having fun feeling our little one move all day. Up until a week ago she would only move at night but now it's all day long. She seems to have a lot of room in there too, she'll be really low in the morning and then up past my belly botton in the evening. yesterday was the first time I could feel her move with my hand on my stomach. It's been so long since I've felt that. Michael has been having fun watching her grow. He said he's forgotten how much I grew with Kailye...I was tiny with Kailye until 6 months.

Brain damage.

I noticed when I was pregnant with Kailye that I was a little on the retarded side. But lately with Keija it seems excessive. I can't even remember what i did two nights ago. I can't remember anything...ever! My brain is just gone. I feel like a very ditsy blond. Oh well I hope it comes back a bit after we're done.
