10 weeks, 5 days, and a trip to the Hospital

Today, I learned that the ER on base is a billion times better than the ER in town. Good to know, because I'm not a real big fan of hospitals.

My tummy was hurting this morning, and I've been feeling a little funky, so we decided to go and get it checked out. Six hours later and a billion tests later, we discovered that this pregnancy was more than likely a set of twins. Unfortunately, one baby didn't make it. There is a fluid sac, unattached from the healthy baby, that they will be monitoring a little more closely. Chad was a little bummed, and I don't think I know how to react at this point.

The healthy baby is an acrobat. The doctors giggled at the summersaults and wiggles they saw performed on the screen. I'm excited that the baby was awake and wiggling, it's always a comfort being able to see it clearly on the monitor.

I'm exhausted today. But things are going good. I go back to the doctor tomorrow and we'll have more information hopefully.

Eight Weeks

My clothes don't fit. There are round things on me. My husband has been known to stare, and possibly even drool (Not really a bad thing, unless you're trying to tell him to do something important...) But these round things.. are getting Rounder! Eight weeks and counting.. (Well, I'm actual 9 1/2 now, but this picture is from week 8. I'll take another one at 10 weeks..

Oh ya, by the way, I'm sucking in.

And since we're friends here, I should calmly tell you that this is my husbands side of the mirror and sink. It's his fault it's not clean, Not mine :)

Child Abuse

Is sticking your kid in a high chair, strapping her in, feeding her, and positioning her so that she can see you considered Child Abuse?? Because she sure acted like it was. Yes. I left her there. Yes. I let her scream. Why? So I could fold the four loads of laundry that have piled up over the week. Yes. I left her there so that I could accomplish something. Accomplishments are on the slow side for me at the moment. I've spent the last two weeks or so on the couch, in a reclined position. Oh yes, I know, it sounds glamourous, but it's not. I can't stand without getting nauseous. And if I stand too long, I will throw up, or feel like I'm going to pass out. So I've sat. And my wonderful husband has been taking charge of the house. I got lucky when I picked him, but it seems to me that it's his fault that I'm in this current position... Of course, ask me in 7 months, and I'm sure that I'll take all the credit, since I've done all the work! Haha, don't you love how one sided my brain is? So now I am going to sit here, and watch as he finishes vacuuming the floor because the laundry used all of my energy.

In other news, I haven't posted them on Facebook yet, because I want a sonogram to tell me for sure if there is one or two, but since it's a relatively small blog, with limited followers, I'll put pictures up here periodically. The one you see here is 'Week 6.' This is a week and a half ago. Yes, I know, I'm too big for only 6 weeks. It's ridiculous. But like I said, I'm waiting to see what the sonogram says about all that. I may just be fat, or like all the other pregnancies I've had, showing earlier than most because I'm so short. But this is big, even for me. And no, I have not gained my standard 10 pounds. Instead, I've lost 5, and maintained that (without trying.. my eating habits haven't changed [except for Diet Coke, it tastes funny to me now, so I quit that]).



I guess I've been spending more time on the internet lately, since the computer lives next to the couch, and I submitted a photo to Pioneer Woman, for her "Funny" photography assignment. I'm not a photographer, but this one I could not resist! While flipping through my photo albums, my husband and I busted out laughing at one of our daughter. Hope it makes you laugh as much as I made us! She may just be more like me than I want to let on- I mean, is she our future football player?? And the no clothes... well, I mean, every kid likes to run around naked right?! At least she kept the bow in her hair. She's perfect.
