I never realized how often I drop/break/spill things

2/5/2012

Until I reached the third trimester. Oh my - I knew I was clumsy but this is ridiculous.  After I had dropped and shattered my make up this morning (and swept it up). I dropped countless other things throughout the day. 

(And now comes the slightly embarrassing part of the story.) I hit my wits end when I opened a bottle of Sierra Mist (I know I'm not supposed to have pop, but I needed just a little fizz). Well it had a lot of fizz. It exploded all over my kitchen floor (and rug). Well here's the embarrassing part - as it was exploding it hit me and then made me start going pee in my pants. This was something noted in my pregnancy book (accidental leakage) but I hadn't had any "accidents" until today. I was going to cry but I was so flustered I didn't.

Instead I ran to the bathroom finished my business and then was pissed off (ha!) I had to clean up the sticky soda all over my kitchen. Learned my lesson - stay away from the pop. 

Now back down to the laundry room to continue dropping things - arghhhhhh

First stranger Belly Rub

2/4/2012

I've had my friends and family rub/touch/feel my ever-expanding belly. But today was the first time a complete stranger felt the need to caress my stomach. I thought when this time came (I had been warned) I'd be weirded out, but I wasn't. It wasn't weird at all.

The manager from Target in Grafton wished me congratulations and seemed so excited for me. She reached out and patted my tummy and it wasn't weird at all. 

I like that people are excited for little George's arrival too :

Ooops I did it again...

I gained 7 pounds in the past three weeks. This was preceded by 8 pounds a month prior and 7 more pounds five weeks before that. If you do the math thats WAY TOO MANY pounds according to my doctor.  

I only gained 5 pounds in the first three and 1/2 months. This places me at 27 pounds and I'm six 1/2 months into the pregnancy. I was slated to gain 25-35 total and am at a point where the baby is growing quickly.  

This saddens me a bit, but then I asked what happens when the baby is too big - growing to quickly...

Dr. Ring's response was 1. The delivery can be complicated (well I'm having a C-section) and 2. I'll have a more difficult time losing the weight after the pregnancy. But there wasn't nothing that put the baby in danger, so I'm not going to worry about it too much. My fiance loves me and he doesn't care if it takes a while for me to lose the weight.  Plus, I'm hoping to breast feed so I should lose the weight at a faster rate than women who do not choose this option.  And, I'm hoping to break Robby by June 30. Riding alone will help me get back into shape. It always does.

As long as little George isn't affected, I'm taking my friends' advice and not worrying about it too much.

I get the results back tomorrow about the gestational diabetes. Hopefully this comes back clean. Then I can keep walking, yogaing and start swimming. Other than cutting down on the amount of juice I drink (
