We continue to roll along!
I do not have Gestational Diabetes (Diabetus?) this time either -- I was sort of worried about it, but I think that I just have a messed up digestive system this time around. Bloodwork was fine too, so, as I said on Facebook, I'm just a tired, tired pregnant lady with a 2 year old. And a husband. haha
Heartburn has really started pretty good now. I don't think that I've gained too much weight either -- people keep telling me that I either look "skinnier" or that I am looking good. Oh, well. I am not trying to lose weight, and my growth is good, so I'm ok. :) My OB isn't worried.
So, I'm just trying to make it through the weeks. Work is work -- it sucks and that is that. I'm trying to teach the "new" girl (who has been working for 7 months now) some of my stuff and that is not going so great, but the real problem is that she needs to get her shit together. And I know this, because she told me. So, I am sort of worried about that a bit. Otherwise, it's just my job. I can do it, I'm pretty good at it, but is it what I set out to do in life? Probably not.
I am trying to get my projects at least started -- lots of sewing projects. I'll probably take pics when finished. The room just needs it's touch ups and then I can start putting up decor. I'm not sure what I will do, but I did get some brown vinyl that goes on the walls for that sort of decoration. I also bought a music cricut cartridge, so I know there will be music related decor in the room. I'm just not sure what yet.
It just takes all my energy to do my jobs keeping the house clean, so you know...it's just a slow process to get everything going. Plus, summer is SO busy around here. Fall is almost here...well, is here as of today, I think, so things are slowing down. A few more busy weeks here and then, just football on Sundays!
Jake has a gig this weekend on Saturday, so that kind of blows the whole weekend in a way. Next Thursday, we will be making the trip to Eau Claire and then onto Duluth, MN for johnseb's wedding on Sept 30th. I'm really looking forward to that and we are taking Ryan, so that should be fun. Jake is also helping G.Nate move that weekend and then we have a quick trip to GB the weekend after. The busy is almost done! :)

24 Week appt
woke up with vertigo this morning -- thought I wasn't going to be able to get out of bed, but I moved very slowly I was ok. I just felt really hungover (without the drinking). And then I threw up. That was not fun. haha
So, I made it to work and got my stuff done and went to the Settlement Team meeting. I went to y doc appt early, since I knew that I wasn't going to make it through the whole day anyway. BP was good, baby was good, tummy growth was good. Only gained 2 pounds and nothing in my urine.
So, I'm not sure what the deal is. I was better during the day today, but as the sun is going down, I'm starting to get dizzier. So, that sort of sucks. I'm going to determine about work tomorrow when I wake up. Perhaps I will be fine tomorrow morning and no big deal! Or I'll be dizzy and stay home. No reason to get in the car again and drive to work. A day of rest would help anyway.
So, nothing new to report -- have to do the GD test in the next couple of weeks and I'm also going to have my blood checked to check my counts and my thyroid. I was a-ok in January, but we'll check again.
Oh, I know -- he finally had the ultrasound report in hand and my placenta is covering my cervix, so that will need to be re-checked -- probably between 32 and 34 weeks, I would think. Sometime in Nov to see if it's resolved itself. I'll have to go to the hospital for that one, since Dr. Herrmann (the ultrasound guy) retired. But, that's ok -- I'm also going to ask that they check the growth of Miss Lily at the same time. Kill two birds with one ultrasound. haha
I had similar concerns with Ryan and I didn't push hard enough to have him checked and sure enough -- he was rather smallish. So, I'm not letting it go this time. :)
So, just keep plugging away here! I'll have my next appt in October, then another in Nov and that's probably when I'll get sent to check all that stuff out. I'll probably ask more definitively in October. I was too tired to talk about it today, frankly.
Got some of Lily's room done -- two walls painted pink and I just have to do the touch ups with the white paint now. Maybe Jake will have to. :) Nail some letters to the wall too. I have to think of more decorations. She has lots of walls to put crap on. haha

24 weeks
Whoops! Losing track of time again!
So, everything is still going well -- next appt is Thursday. I'm sure that I will have to do the orange drink test in the next month. Weight continues to be odd. I definitely am losing weight in other places, but my belly is growing. My appetite continues to be strange. Some days -- no problem eating. Other days, not so much. I have to force myself to eat and even then, it's not that much. Today is one of those days, for instance. I almost think it's related to my state of mind.
I have been feeling very down lately and things are kind of a struggle for me again. I hate feeling this way. I don't like feeling like I have to power through life. I would rather just be able to do things without it being hard. Just have to work it out. I think the easiest solution that I have found so far, is to get some quiet time -- just for me. Now that Jake is done being busy for the summer, it should be easier, I hope. :)
Good days and bad days, you know?
Lily is kicking up a storm. She's a lot lower than Ryan ever was, so think that I look bigger than I did at this point with Ryan, but I also feel like I am still on the smaller side for being 24 weeks preggers. :) She rolls a lot too -- or at least, that's what it feels like to me. I have actually reached "viability" now, so if, god forbid, she was born early, she might have a chance to survive at this point. I'll be in the third tri in just a couple of weeks. Only 15-16 more weeks to go.
Someone asked me today if I was enjoying it more, now that I wasn't so sick. The truth: No. I hate being pregnant. I really, really do. It's just a necessary evil. I feel terrible saying that, as there are SO many women in the world that have trouble and they don't deserve it - nobody does! So, I try not to complain about things, but good gosh, I hate it. haha Plus, I am still sick to my stomach every day -- I don't think it will go away until I give birth. That's what mint gum is for, right?
I do have belly pics, I should share. :)
I think this was 12 weeks:
This was 16 weeks.
I have twenty and twenty four somewhere...I'll put them up in the next post -- I'm sure that I will post after my doc appt. Actually, I promise to (just for you Becky!)
Oh, and in case anyone is interested, Jake, Ryan and I will be in Eau Claire on Sept 29 and Oct 1 (we will be in Duluth the day in between). I suspect a trip to El Patio will happen. I'm not sure how Ryan will do with all the weirdness, but he's coming with us. I want him to meet the people that I like that live far away! :)
