Alive

Sprogs are alive.  Both measuring a day or two ahead, even – at 6w4d & 6w5d respectively.  Both hearts beating away within a normal range – 125 & 130. This is a blessing, albeit a mixed one.  No.  Let me rephrase, restate.  This IS a blessing.  I spent much of last night convinced I was [...]

6w2d – 24 Hours to Go

Ok, it’s safe to say that Zen has left the building. I hate spotting.  I hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it. Not happy.  Six hours of pure white tp, then a spotting episode.  Last night’s came with a teeny clot. hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it. The [...]

6w1d – Waiting for Wednesday

We got home safely, though it was a rather unpleasant drive for me.  Between morning sickness (or in my case, afternoon sickness), motion sickness, cramping, and a desperate need to drink things and then immediately pee them out, the 6 hours in the car were not my favorite  hours of the trip.  But it was [...]

Vanishing Twin

If I had to guess (which I do, because I yam who I yam, and that would be someone who guesses and second-guesses just about damned near everything), I would say that twin B died last night.  I had a day of teensy amounts of spotting and some cramps at the beginning of the trip, [...]

Mmmmm.  Lighteheadedness made an appearance.  The world spins when I lie down or stand up sometimes, which makes the on-the-edge-of-nausea feeling just that much more interesting.   Like being hungover, but without any interestingly vague memories of how I got here… The boy is home, the dog and I are content, I still feel pregnant. [...]

Random bits

So, last night, I dreamed I had triplets.  They were teeny little triplets, (as I suspect almost all triplets are.)  But mine were so teeny that I could keep them in a looseleaf binder.  (Not a single binder, you understand: they each had their own.  They weren’t that small.)  I was feeling rather harried in [...]

Midwife vs. OB

A few days ago I was whining because I was unable to schedule an appointment at the midwife I would like to have as my prenatal caregiver any earlier than August 20.  Which would have been a bit late for scheduling a lot of the tests I’ll need done because of my age.  This morning [...]

Baby’s gettin’ a brain!

According to a calendar I found online (damn, I love the Internets!) “Today, (6w2d) baby’s brain begins to form and cranial nerves are formed.”  How cool is that?  I should totally think smart thoughts today.  Or at least not eat any Little Debbi snack cakes… Back to work for a day, then off, then back [...]
