Whew, things have been busy. Karlis had his hockey season wind down with lots of home games. They made the playoffs which started tonight so things are still in full swing. On top of weekly trips to Alabama, the packing and unpacking that comes with every trip, trying to spend as much time as I can with my husband who lives in a different state, trying to keep our house running, keeping the dogs and cats taken care of and fed, working full time with this being my busiest time of year, trying to take care of myself because it means taking care of our little girl….I have managed to come down with an awful sinus infection/allergy/cold mess (I have no idea why or wait could it be running to death?!?!?). So needless to say I haven’t had much time to sit and write. And if I did have the time I just didn’t feel like even typing. Yesterday I even took a different route to a conference I am attending because the way I usually go had too many turns. Seriously who doesn't feel like turning a steering wheel? Anyway, I am glad to say things are a little better today and if I am not much better by tomorrow my ob/gyn is calling a prescription in for me. So things are crazy!
I went to the doctor on Tuesday for a general check of how everything is going. I had to go alone because Karlis was preparing for playoffs in Huntsville. They did the diabetic screen which requires you to drink this lovely orange syrupy drink an hour before your appointment. It didn’t taste that bad because I LOVE sweets and my taste buds are gone from this crud I have. It tasted strangely similar to a Sonic Orange Slush which is scary in itself because the sugar content in one of those probably is similar. Anyway it gave me indigestion and then the hick ups but that was about it. I should hear back soon if I pass or not. They check my placenta previa and I am no longer a complete previa but a partial, so that’s good. I still can’t have her natural at this point but my doctor thinks if it has moved a little it should move some more. We go back in 3 weeks and they will recheck it. They didn’t get a weight on her so I am not sure how much she has grown. I wish they had done that just so we know but I do know she is bigger because of the way she feels inside me. So things are good and still going as planned. It will be nice to have Karlis home soon so we can actually start getting her room ready and do a few things we want to do before she arrives. I am sure time will fly between now and June 17. I have started a countdown ticker on my computer and we are looking at 82 more days. We can’t wait!
