My OB appointment and symptoms :)

Its been a while ey? now 9 wks2days..I know, I know ..sorry! I went out of town to good ole .L-.A. Anyways, I went to my OB on wednesday and all is well with C.h.ip. Thats his nickname :) At the time I was 8wk6days and he measured exact. I also had a pap smear from hell. I've had many pap smears and I always glide through them with no pains, no issues, easy sailing. Wll not this one, OMGosh!!! He said I had my pregnancy and retroverted uterus to thank for all my pain. Thank you I guess, whatever it takes right. It was horrible though..full of jerking and pulling ! When I left the office my pain was pretty much over but when night time fell (pretty much like the first day of exercise) my hoooha hurt so bad I had to lay down and I kept checking for blood- which thank God - didnt show up.

Anywho my baby is doing great , his heart was beating away perfectly and he was even moving a little bit. I was so nervous prior to my appointment because like I keep telling my friends who havent been pregnant - pregnancy feels like a regular day when Im not on my period. No cramping no signs in my uterus that there is even anything inhabiting it and thats just sooo weird to me. I thought pregnant people always feel cramps and a heavy non normal feeling in their uterus, feel me? So anyways, I obviously was worrying for nothing. My Ob said to guzzle water if I cramp (102 degrees everyday where I live)- so I take it from that that constant cramping would not be good.

As for my symptoms, Ive really had none except for indigestion and its not even that bad I just burp ..what my hubluv describes as a snake going "ssssssss". - Not a loud burp just air escaping ALL day and tums doesnt help it. It doesnt bother me so I dont really care to fix it anyway. Week 6 &7 , my stomach was in knots I had constant indigestion that kept me sittin on the toliet (sorry if tmi) but I think it was mainly due to the prenatals C.itranatal that contains a stool softner. I changed to T.andem DHA and those have been working better so far. Week 8&9 I have pretty much no symptoms to complain about because my boobs no longer feel like they've been cut into - just sporatic twinges that kinna feel like pinches and the now blue veins that peek from under my brown skin have become cool to stare at :)

I cant stand anything tight on my tummy but I havent really seen growth in it either. I do have food aversions to most foods...bbq and the smell of it, & all types of chicken anyway its disguised. The only things I really love right now are chili dogs, steak and cheeses, bake potatoes from J.ason's D.eli or Luby's(spud au broc , yum), and Shrimp ramen noodle cups- weird I know haha I should be sick of them since I ate 'em so much in college...
thats all for now

thinking about :
what pump I want
what cloth diapers I'm buying
what new car Im getting
my nursery theme (boy) ..Prince/ Owls or both??
what crib for nursery and what crib for my room

  1. I'm catching up on your posts, sorry I haven't been on here for a while. I'll try to do better!

    As far as breasts pumps go, it's really one of those things you need to get for comfort.

    I think the Owls for nursery theme's are neat idea!!

    Cribs? I used bassinets in my room because by the time they are too big for it, you should have established a decent schedule for sleep patterns ect to place them in their own rooms for crib sleep :)
    Just my thoughts as already a mom of 3 for the past 17 years.
