July Weigh In

I was so bummed on the 1st. I got up, got all prettied up, had Will take my weigh in shot....

and then realized I can't post pictures right now. DUH.

Then I haven't been able to connect to the internet, okay, well, I tried once. But really, I haven't had any time.

So...

My weigh in for the 1st was 217.2.

Last month was 222.6.

I am down 5.4 pounds last month. 7.4 since I found out I was pregnant.

I don't intend to gain/lose any more for the 6-7 weeks. At least if I have a say.

But I am really not following any plan right now. Unless you count the "I want it, I'll eat it" a plan. Or the whole I think I need a candy bar RIGHT NOW. ...and again 10 minutes later a plan.

On another quick note, we got the files off of our PC. We have to make another long call to dell in the next day or two. It should hopefully be recovered then. If not, who knows what they will do. But hopefully I should be back to 'normal' soon.

When I am, I have a buttload of great pics for you.

Hugs!

Just a few upbeat ramblings.

I had big goals this morning of coming on and bragging to you about how my nausea is finally starting to subside.

Then I barfed the worst I have barfed yet.

Upchucked the life right out of me.


Nah, in all honesty, I couldn't believe how tired it made me so quickly, but overall I am actually feeling so much better.

Maybe it had something to do with my date last night? Will and I went out for a wonderful expensive dinner on the town and a movie. BTW, he totally LOVED The Hangover and he is soo not into those kinds of comedies.

I am 12 weeks tomorrow, well, by the doctor's account. I still keep knowing in my head I am four days behind with ovulation.

Anyways, it makes me excited, my belly is starting to really pooch (mostly bloating - ha!) and it's starting to feel 'real'.

Yet on the other hand, 12 weeks scares me to death. I miscarried at 12.5 weeks the first time around and it still bothers me.

I can't seem to find a SOLID heartbeat on my home doppler which I think is accounted for the fact I need more of that shit you squirt on your belly. lol. My bottle is like... OUT!

I have been able to find the heartbeat enough for a quick couple of blips or a popup on the screen. It's mostly around 134 most times.

I figure I'll give you an update on my weight in a few days, but until then I think I am doing okay. I hit the lowest of lows mid-month (when I posted) and basically started an uphill climb from there. I have been able to stomach a bit more and have been eating a LOT more. Needless to say, I gained a large chunk of that back, but I am still down overall and that makes me content.


I just wanted to do a quick check in, try to get back on track. Our PC is still down and will be at least another week, but I have the backup running, mostly efficient, at least enough to the do minimum and scan a few blogs.

Last but not least: My sister in law had the baby!! 6 days late. Not bad. I was 12 with HLD. hehe. Thank goodness I will be going for a scheduled cesarean this time!

Anyways, he was 22 inches, 9lbs 3oz and born last night at 8:50. 12 hours after receiving her epidural and ending in a cesarean. Poor thing. Send her prayers and I'll try to get you some photos this week so when I can finally upload them to my pc and share, you will have LOADS to catch up on!

Is June over yet?

I am so frustrated with Dell right now.

I will NEVER be buying a Dell PC again, mark my effin words.

I just barely got the old PC hooked up and letting me check my email. Need to get on that and then get some breakfast, it's been a long morning already.

I just spent over an hour on the phone with Dell... again. With no answer.

***

Gorilla was amazing in her swimming lessons. The girl is going up and down and all around under water by herself.

HLD barely got in the water for two of his 7 classes so far. Tonight is the last one. I can't even begin to tell you how many bribes and things we tried and the fights we had. OR what of all of them worked. I might get into that later.

***

My father in law's flight is booked for the 8th. I am counting down to him watching the kids for an evening for DH and I getting a date. Supposedly around this weekend. We'll see.

***

My sister in law is about 6 days overdue. Poor thing is going nuts and even worse, has Kaiser. I can't believe the crap she's going through with appointments. Pray for her.

***

Don't even get me started on my dr right now. I had an appointment, as soon as I finished getting ready and about to leave, they called and rescheduled. I showed up Wednesday morning, was told the dr had another emergency and I'd be seen by someone else.

I waited in the lobby a bit.

They then called me up and... rescheduled. It's not my effin week. Big shocker huh?

***

I had more updates, but I have little time and a very slow PC. I promise when my father in law leaves and I have a working PC, I'll be back up and running.

I am so embarrassed, ashamed, disappointed...

This was HLD last August. This is just a TASTE of his excellence in the water.


This year he won't get in the water.

We started swimming lessons last night and (Will took him) he wouldn't get in.

I took him tonight, bribery, threatening, you name it, I tried it. He got in.

Cried for 15 minutes.

We were basically asked to leave.

I could not be more frustrated.

Can someone give me a suggestion I don't know?!?

We had a long talk with him last night. It's mostly fear. But come on, look at him above! I have NO idea or evidence of anything that would have changed this major fear.

I am so confused.

7 Pounds!?!

... Alicia guessed 6 and Christy guessed 8.

I was down 7 pounds so far this month yesterday. Luckily I gained back two last night. Must have been from all the shit clogged in my ear.

I have a call into the dr, today is two effin weeks. If they don't do something for me in the very near future, like the NEXT HOUR I might shoot 'em up.

Okay, well, not really, but I am considering paying a buttload to go to emergency or call the kids pediatrician to help.

My dr's office has lost MAJOR points this month.

Boy this little funny hit home today!

I realize I can't eat anything I want, but I can get away with a bit more right?

Instead I actually am turned off to most foods!

Remember that $30 cheesecake DH picked up for me last week? I can't even convince myself I need to down the last two pieces. I think I might offer the kids a treat tonight. Just making sure it doesn't go to waste you know?

Belly Pic #2* Updated

Come on guys aren't you going to guess? There's only one so far!

I'll give you a hint, Alicia's close! ;-)



10 weeks!

Can anyone guess how many pounds I am down already this month today?
