29 Weeks and Counting
I had an appointment with my primary practice this past Monday - took me 35 minutes to get there, waited about 20 minutes before being seen, and then took the 35 minutes to get home...all for a 2 minute appointment.
The good news is the baby's doing great...as am I. I passed the glucose screen (thankfully, as I had fasted and the phlebotomist told me it wasn't a fasting test), my weight was only up 3.5 lbs in 5 weeks (yeah, as it's usually a pound a week at this point), and I'm measuring on track. We'll see on Tuesday whether the baby's weight is still on track. They're concerned about the baby being small due to the Sjogren's...but I want to know if the baby's going to be big like my first son.
I look over the clothes that I have from my first son...who was born in April, so the summer outfits are around 9 months. Knowing that the seasons are slightly off, I realize I might need to supplement with a few outfits...but am hesitant to buy anything as I can't decide if I should buy 3 months (that's what my first son came home from the hospital in...), 6 months, or should I risk it and get something "newborn." Hard to tell right now.
I continue to have some crazy dreams. Last night I dreamt I went to the Memorial Day parade in a different town than I'd originally planned...and had totally forgotten we were meeting up with friends to attend the parade together. Big mix up...and I was there looking like I had just crawled out of bed wearing the rattiest clothes. Arg. The night before I dreamt that we were going away with family on a vacation...and they forgot to bring us...and left us stranded at my Aunt's home. Home Alone anyone? So what are these "forgetful" dreams saying about me...that I'm forgetting something?
Over the past 24 hours my son has developed a little cold. Thought yesterday it might have been allergies or molars, but he's a bit stuffy this morning. Here's hoping that I don't get this...and it clears up quickly.
