“How are you feeling?”
September 26th, 2008
This is the question I am asked At Least once per day. (And it’s not by my sweet hubby, either; he knows better and asks how the kids are doing.) And the answer to this question is best identified in multiple choice:
a. Tired.
b. Good and tired.
c. Exhausted.
d. Never felt better!
e. All of the above.
It depends on the time of day, what I’ve eaten that day, and whether or not the kids have taken naps that day.
Seriously though, this pregnancy has gone by so fast. I can’t believe there’s only about 7 weeks left and I’m trying to enjoy them as best I can. I am still having those pesky little contractions, but they’re minor and go away quickly. I am also still having some heartburn issues, but the baby has dropped quite a bit and it’s better now. My dad (aka my chiropractor) gave me some wonderful enzymes; the bottle is labeled Betaine HCl – Pepcin – Gentian Root Extract. I take 2 of these twice a day (morning and night) and love them, especially since they’re natural and don’t have side effects. The papaya enzymes also help in between.
I guess my main complaint is not being able to sleep well. I’m pretty uncomfortable and can only lie (lay?) on my left side without feeling nauseous. “This too, shall pass,” I know.
I get to take my glucose test on Monday and then we’re going to eat donuts at the new Shipley’s! Midwife’s orders! Wahoo!
(PS – Sorry if I’m a little link happy.)

What’s the deal with the late glucose test? My doctor said mine would be around 24-26 weeks. I’m glad your dad gave you some good stuff. It’s good to have a doctor in the family, I guess.
Have a great last 7 weeks (or probably less…)

i can tell you from experience, that shipley’s is friggen’ good. i highly recommend the chocolate-filled do-nut. [and then some fun on a treadmill!]
yeah, i can’t believe how fast this pregnancy has gone by. i guess i haven’t been obsessing about it [until recently] like i did the other ones. i’ve like gotten used to a) my sister being a mom, and b) being around / having a close relationship with a pregnant woman.
lately, though, it sems like there are just babies EVERYWHERE, and everytime i see one, i’m like, ‘I CAN’T WAIT TO MEET BABY GIRL!!!’
