Time to Relax

I've been frustrated lately because I haven't been able to start my next round of medicine, so we are going to have to push back our California date by a few days. Darn. I need to go relax this weekend because it always stresses me out to try to get all my lab and ultrasound and surgery results to all the places they need to be! I'm glad it's Friday, and I'm really glad that I get to relax and see my family this weekend.

The opera was fabulous! Carmen has lots of famous music and I really enjoyed it. Probably the best one I've seen, but I've only seen two! The other one was Aida. Our dinner at Macaroni Grill was great, too. I ordered the lobster ravioli. It was so-so. I had it before at Market Street Grill, and it really was so much better there. Probably because they specialize in seafood. The lobster at Macaroni was chewy or something. Not my fave. We had a great time with Dr. Cragun, Jen, Laura and Zach though. Greg works with some great people. Laura and Zach are counting down to a wedding, which we thought we'd miss because we'd be in CA, but maybe now we'll make it.

We got home way late that night and Greg had to get up bright and early for their clinic in Richfield. He works hard and I adore him for it. Thanks, Pal! And he is still the pro at shots. It's gotten to where I practically forget and he gets it out of the fridge and just gets everything ready for me. He's way awesome and even hacked (well, that's too strong of a word) looked up my medical records today at Timp because we were having issues getting them to CA. Don't know why people can't just do their jobs! So, he rescued me on that one. But...miracle of miracles (said sarcastically) they did end up finding my surgery report. I don't know what their problem is. They said they couldn't find the ultrasound report on Wed. and then when they called back on Thurs. they said they had two ultrasound reports. Well, that's because after they couldn't find it the first time, I had the Utah doc re-send. It's a hassle sometimes, can ya tell?

Isn't it great now that I just spill my frustrations on my blog? Tell me (PLEASE!) if it ever becomes a negative venting thing. I don't want that. My real goal was to document this whole process for posterity's sake! So I guess that sometimes means the good with the bad.

    I like hearing all your stories. What dodo-s at the Dr.'s office. That's pronounced: Doe Doe not Doo Doo.

    I have got to be better about checking blogs regularly. I just haven't been the computer addict I used to be. I'm sorry your date got pushed back, but grateful for the miracle that seems to have happened. Did I tell you I had Marcos fast with your family? I couldn't, but he did. Cute huh? I guess that's what they mean by help-meet. And yes, I'm with your sisters. I like reading the stories and I think you'll be super grateful to remember all the details like incompetent workers losing your ultrasounds later on. :)

Almost To the Home Stretch

Here I am at around 30 weeks or so. I can't remember exactly when Greg took these pictures. It's hard to believe that I only have six weeks and five days to go before this little buddy will make his entrance into the world. I'm excited and nervous. I'm doing really great still. I think, after talking to Sarah today, that I'm probably having some Braxton-Hicks contractions but didn't really realize it. I'll have to start paying closer attention. Gotta love Zantac! It's been helping with the heartburn. I pretty much waddle around a little these days. It's hard not to. I'm still sleeping well at night for the most part. I laugh at myself trying to turn over though! It's like a beached whale! Really. I have to like literally try to flip myself over without everything going, "Snap! Crackle! Pop!" The same thing happens when I've been sitting at my desk and get up to walk around. It's like all my joints want to just...

Can you see that baby bump?

Image
Man! Full body shots are not at all my fave. I have to do a better pose next time where Greg's not looking up at me while laying on the couch. That's always been like my least favorite camera angle. But can you see that little belly showing? This is 17 and a half weeks. My waist is disappearing and it for sure seems like my already well-endowed bust line has expanded! I'm just trying to take it all in stride even though it's sort-of weird that your body isn't your own anymore in some ways. But I think it's totally awesome that my body is designed for this. Go women! Every day I really feel like it's a miracle that I'm even having a baby. That's such a cool blessing that I wondered if I'd have, and now it's happening, and it's really surreal at times, but totally awesome, too. Other than the fact that I've had a horrible sore throat (due to allergies) I feel great. (Well, still headaches here and there.) I'm not sure if ...

Half Way There

Wow! I can't believe it's been 20 weeks already. That's halfway, right? I have had a terrific pregnancy so far. I have some of the common "aches and pains" but have done really well. It's awesome. I will have to post another picture again soon, because this bump is getting harder and harder to hide. Sometimes I feel a little self-conscious about it in a way, but I think I need to embrace it more and not try to hold it in! (Not that I do or can anyway!) The best thing lately is feeling the baby move more and more and knowing that's what I'm feeling. I totally notice movement after eating, and also sometimes when I play the organ. I think it's just louder so the baby can hear it and reacts a little. It will be fun to see if that continues and let's all pray they get Greg's awesome singing voice! We went to a movie last night, and the baby was really moving during that. Probably because it's so loud in the theater. A week or so...
