Pregnancy (

I've made it to the final finish line in the birthing process - six weeks post delivery. For the first 2 weeks home, I had the no heavy lifting, no driving, and no more than once up and down the stairs a day rules. Add the no bath, swimming, or exercise...
I had my pre-op appointment this morning. It was nice that they had set my expectations appropriately...that we were literally being squeezed into a completely full schedule. My appointment was for 11:15am, and it was nearly 45 minutes of sitting in the...
Yeah, well I tried to punk my husband, but it didn't work. My first pregnancy was such a planned event (I never even had any contractions) that my husband felt that he missed out on the whole, "honey, my water broke," scenario. As such, this time around...
Had my third NST this morning...and they aren't getting any quicker, that's for sure. I had a 10am appointment and was there right on time...and of course, after an hour on the road had to use the bathroom. They brought me right back, let me leave my...
Since there's been really not much action with the baby (other than constant motion), we decided to take advantage of the extra time as a family of three and take my 27 month old to his first movie! SO exciting for us, and I think he had a good time....
Well, although I've immensely enjoyed my experience with my high risk practice and the three OBs in the practice, it feels FANTASTIC to have made my last appointment and have a clean bill of health for myself and, most importantly, the baby. Today's appointment...
Well, it's been over a week since I put myself back on the every day dosage of Plaquenil...and now I'm not exhausted by mid-afternoon like I was before, but I'm out like a light before 930pm. I've fallen asleep on the couch with my husband working right...
I am beginning to think that all of those years "missing" out on the common cold have caught up with me. It all began just after Thanksgiving when my husband came down with a cold...then my son...then me. We worked through it (with my hard working husband...
Yes, it's that time of the pregnancy...those wacky, mind-altering, make you wake-up-and-cry dreams have become a regular part of my nighttime routine. Nothing like waking up on the verge of tears because your dreamed your husband cheated on you, or you...
I kind of had the type of day on Monday. Last week following my appointment with my primary OB practice, I realized there were a few things I needed to talk with one of their receptionist about. The first one being that my bi-weekly appointments with...
I broke down and called my rheumatologist this afternoon and left a message inquiring whether Plaquenil could be making me more tired than I was before taking it. Seems counterintuitive, but anything's possible, right? I did look around online for other...
A few people have asked me if I've noticed a difference after being on 200mg/day of Plaquenil after 2 weeks. Well, if feeling MORE tired is a difference, yeah. Not sure if it's at all possible for fatigue to be a side effect of the medication, as it was...
Although I'm not there gestationally, this is where I am from a LMP standpoint. Had another visit with my primary practice this morning, after waiting about 30 minutes for the doctor, the visit was all of 2 minutes. The baby's heartbeat is right around...
That's the word from my primary OB about my first trimester screening. Not that I thought it was going to go the other way, but it's still nice to have those reassuring words. I'm still battling whatever this illness is, sore throat comes and goes as...
As I sit here and type this evening, I'm on my third 16 oz glass of water in the past hour. Can someone tell my why basically overnight I can't seem to drink enough to keep my tongue from sticking to the top of my mouth? I've noticed over the past few...
