Last night I woke up at 2 a.m. At 3 a.m. I gave up and got out of bed, went downstairs and drank some warm milk while cuddling with our cats. At 4.25 a.m., as I crawled back into bed, Q. rolled over and said sleepily, “Are you worrying about the ultrasound?” “Maybe,” I replied, [...]

Twelve weeks- woo hoo!
Posted in Pregnancy, Week-by-week on October 27, 2010 | 5 Comments »
How far along? Twelve weeks! Hurrah! Weight gained/lost this week? (Total weight change) +1 lb (+4 lbs). I’m now totally confused. I saw my endocrinologist on Friday, and he weighed me, like he does at every visit. That scale, for the last two and a bit years, has consistently shown me as 3-4 pounds heavier than my scale [...]
Another week!

How far along? Eleven weeks Weight gained/lost this week? (Total weight change) +2 lbs (+3 lbs). So not impressed by this. I don’t think my eating was any different, but I’m going to have to watch my snacking and my exercise more carefully now that I can’t rely on the metformin/prednisone combo to chew up calories. Maternity [...]
Meeting the midwife
Posted in Emotions, Midwives, Pregnancy on October 14, 2010 | 4 Comments »
Today we had our (rescheduled) first appointment with our midwife. She is FANTASTIC. I could not be happier. She is incredibly experienced (probably one of the most experienced in our province), very down to earth and straight talking, and, most importantly, not pressing an agenda that we will feel forced to follow. She emphasized the [...]
Houston, we have a fetus!

How far along? Ten weeks Weight gained/lost this week? (Total weight change) +1 lb (+1 lb). (I’m thankful this wasn’t higher, given we had the traditional “stuff yourself silly” Thanksgiving weekend.) Maternity clothes? Nope. Physical signs? Still have huge bbs. And I am definitely showing, although there is no way you could tell with my clothes on. [...]
Clinic update
Posted in Emotions, Medications, Pregnancy, Ultrasounds on October 12, 2010 | 2 Comments »
We had another appointment at the clinic this morning (9w6d). All was well- bub is still measuring ahead (at 10w0d), but I wasn’t able to chart stalk before my f/s came to talk to us, so I didn’t get the heartbeat or crown to rump measurements. We had a super nice tech this time who [...]
Another week, another update

How far along? Nine weeks Weight gained/lost this week? (Total weight change) +1 lb (0 lbs). Maternity clothes? Nope, but last week I tried to wear the only pair of jeans that actually fit me, and by mid-morning I realized I had to undo the button to make it through the rest of the day. So I [...]
Breaking the silence…
Posted in Family, Medications, Pregnancy, Symptoms, Ultrasounds on October 4, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Our ultrasound yesterday was perfect. It was at 8w4d, but bub is an overachiever, measuring 8w5d. Heart rate was 172 bpm. CRL was 20.2 mm. Bub is definitely out of “peanut” phase and into “gummie bear” phase, complete with stubby arms and legs. Much more recognizable- I could tell which end was the head even [...]
