Ramblings at 30 weeks
This pregnancy is really flying by. I only have ten weeks left. Overall I'm feeling great. I'm starting to feel a little uncomfortable sometimes, but I'm sure I don't even know what uncomfortable means yet. I had a cold over the last week, but it has now subsided. I really missed my old buddy Nyquil.
I had my 30 week check up on Tuesday. I lost one pound from the last appointment. I think that my weight is always in flux depending on how much water I'm retaining. Official weight gain is 18 pounds. The doctor said that my weight was good, and I'm measuring perfect for 30 weeks. Blood pressure is still low. The blood work from two weeks ago showed that I'm still low in iron. I take these stupid iron supplements everyday, but most of that goes to the baby. I do not have gestational diabetes. This is a wonderful fact. One of my friends who recently had a little boy was diabetic, and she had to follow this strict diet to keep her sugar down. I guess I'll continue to eat what I want to, which is basically everything.
I had to have an Rh shot because Tony and I have conflicting blood types. To add to the joy of having a shot, my insurance did not pay for it. So I had to go to the pharmacy and pick up the $130 shot. Then I had to pay my doctor's office to administer it. They gave me some paperwork saying that it was medically necessary, so maybe I can get a refund from the insurance company. I can't remember the last time that I had a shot. I had forgotten how much it sucked. I feel sorry for my poor baby who will have to get so many and not even understand why she has to go through the pain.
Maggie is a quite a mover these days. She is very active while I'm at work and trying to sleep. She likes to rest whenever I want her daddy or anyone else to feel her moving. Tony has felt her quite a few times, but she has been shy around everyone else. I hope this is a sign that she will be calm and peaceful whenever Tony is around. And maybe she will learn to change her own diapers and help Mama fold clothes. Ahh, at least I can dream.
My flying days are drawing to a close. The doctor wants we to stop flying now, but I have three more weekend trips planned. I will take these trips so long as I don't have any bleeding. After I'm officially grounded, I'm going to add up how many miles I've flown during this pregnancy. She is one well traveled fetus.
My first baby shower was this past weekend. My friend Catherine and her mother Terry hosted the party, and it was held at my mother-in-law's house in Kentucky. Maggie received lots of adorable clothes. I no longer have to worry about this baby having nothing to wear but diapers. It's great that we got lots of clothes because we need them and they're easier to get onto an airplane than a crib. Refreshments included a cute cake and big tray of nuggets from Chick-fil-a. Maggie and I really loved the nuggets. Mmm nuggets.
