Swelling (
RSS)
Wow, time flies. I can't believe we've been home over a week...and our little peanut has been in the world for 2 weeks now. In the last week, the swelling in my lower legs, ankles, and feet has subsided (thankfully). However, I've developed a good case...
Today I had my next appointment with my primary OB - just a little over 2 weeks left, so they did the Group B Strep culture, listened to the baby's heart, checked my cervix (nothing to report), and then we talked a little about the non-stress test. The...
I'm quickly approaching the finish line, but have NO ambitions of having things happen prior to July 30th. I am getting to the point where I am seriously wondering how, with so little energy and such an active 26 month old, I am going to be able to productively...
So I've reached that point in my pregnancy where I take on the "unwed mother" look. Yup, my rings no longer fit. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with being an unwed mother...in fact, I give single Moms SO much credit. I still don't understand...
So I got my monthly call from BCBS's nurses to check in on my pregnancy. Up until this point I've thought that they've been polite and helpful, so I haven't minded answering their questions or returning their calls. Having worked in healthcare, I understand...
Oh what a beautiful day it is! Sunny and warm. Only wish it would be like this the rest of this coming week. I went and had a treat yesterday - a pregnancy massage at a local spa. I had one the first time around, and it felt every bit as good yesterday...
Yes, I officially received the "all clear" on the baby's heart at yesterday's appointment. What great news...and although it wasn't unexpected given the feedback we've been receiving, it was nice to finally have a definitive answer. There isn't any chance...
I saw my rheumatologist on Friday for another check-up. She hadn't received my bloodwork results yet...from what I understand the several thousand dollars worth of blood work I have done quarterly actually produces a packet of results about an inch thick...
I can't tell if I've reached that "swelling" stage in pregnancy or if it's the Sjogren's, but my rings are getting very tight. I did have to take my rings off towards the end of my first pregnancy...and who doesn't love being pregnant and having strangers...
I was asked today how far along I was, and for the first time in my pregnancy I wasn't exactly sure. I know during my first pregnancy that once I reached a certain point, my responses (like most other expectant Moms) were more generalized in terms of...
