Good Evening Humble Readers...
Fair warning... your friendly neighbourhood hobbit is in a pretty lousy head-space right now. If I weren't pregnant, I would totally think I was PMS-ing (chocolate cravings and all).
My blood sugars have been wonky, and I've been feeling like a weepy-angry-biotch-on-wheels. The kicker is I know that my emotional state affects my blood sugar numbers in a bad way, and I know that my blood sugars (when out of whack) can wreak havoc on my emotions. Oh yeah, and throw in stress-induced IBS flares... Fun times!
Seriously, I've constantly been on the verge of tears for two days. I have got to get past this...
On to the update...
How far along? 29w0d (only 9 weeks to go!! HOLY CRAP!)
Maternity clothes? Absolutely
Body Oddities? VERY dry skin, alternating constipation and IBS flares, acne, back ache, cracking joints, super sore & slightly leaky boobs, dry/itchy eyes, leg cramps, round ligament pain, tingly fingertips, tired, gassy, Braxton Hicks, NEW THIS WEEK: increased clumsiness, tendonitis in my thumbs?
Sleep? Some nights it's been great, other's not so much. On the days when I've had I decent night's sleep, I can actually get by without any naps. That's a pretty great development, if you ask me.
Intense Dreams? I've still been dreaming a lot, but nothing tops that dream about my mom being pregnant.
Best moment this week? Ginny is developing a serious sense of humour, which is a tremendous blessing just now.
Worst moment? In the grand scheme of things, nothing truly earth shattering.
Movement? Heck ya. Although I'm really beginning to doubt that this child is ever going to turn vertical. I get little hints that maybe it's going to happen, but then he/she is right back to trying to press my hips apart.
Food cravings/aversions? Sweets, chocolate
Rings? Still on... huh?
Gender? Still thinking she's a she. It's going to be really hard to stick to my guns and not ask at my ultrasound tomorrow.
Medical Concerns? Gestational Diabetes (insulin 5 times a day), High blood pressure (on 50mg of lobetalol 3x daily), continued heartburn (on 60mg of Pan.taloc daily), kidney stones (they're back!), low lying placenta, low iron.
What I miss? being able to get up from the couch without looking/feeling like a beached whale
What I look forward to? Seeing the halfling tomorrow and getting a definitive answer about the possible placenta previa (the tech likely won't tell me, but I'll be able to call Dr. W's office on Friday and find out)
Emotional State? Pretty much all over the place. See above...

Week 29: Uninspired
Hey Humble Readers...
I'm running a bit behind these days. It's been a long week already (went back to work on Saturday) and I'm finding my energy is just tapped these days. I will get caught up with you all soon.
Thanks to everyone who commented on my last post... I think I have found the diaper bag I want. Now, can any of you help me find some basic green crib bedding? For under $300? That's your mission!
Here's the update...
How far along? 29w0d
Maternity clothes? Yup, no more bella bands for me.
Body Oddities? Oh so freakin' gassy! It's embarassing. Fatigue is overwhelming at times. I don't know how much of it is the pregnancy and how much of it is the GD.
Sleep? Not terrible, but I still tire easily. It feels like my sleep isn't as effective as it should be.
Best moment this week? Being on vacation for most of it. It was great to be able to take the time to do what I needed to around the house.
Worst moment? I've had some more incredible round ligament pain. There was one day that I almost fell over when I stood up because it was so bad.
Movement? I have a very busy little Halfling. With the exception of today, he/she has been all over the place. (I had to take some tylenol last night after work, and I think that made the Halfling a little sluggish this morning)
Food cravings? Not craving a whole lot these days. Just obsessing about the things I can't have. I've planned my first meal after coming home from the hospital after delivery. Sushi, a slice of chocolate cheesecake, a venti light ice non-fat chai latte, and maybe a glass of Siegerebe (my favourite wine).
Rings? I think they just might stay on for the duration.
Gender? Not going to find out, but I think it's a boy.
Intense Dreams? Not many this week, at least not many I remember. A couple of nights ago I dreamed about being in labour. Not the full on pushing, but sort of starting out.
Medical Concerns? High blood pressure (on 50mg Trandate/Lobetalol, 3 times a day... bp holding steady at 130-ish over 70-ish), Gestational Diabetes (closer to getting it under control), on prescription Zan.tac for heartburn.
What I miss? being able to bend over and pick something up off the floor without worrying about if I can get back up.
What I look forward to? MATERNITY LEAVE!
Emotional State? Generally, this past week has been a good one. But, today has been a rough one. I am really feeling uninspired at work, and I don't want to be the kind of person who checks out mentally before they are done physically. I'm tired, and I would much rather be doing things around the house to get ready for the baby.
