Pregnancy Update

Brian and I went to the doctor yesterday, and I have kinda been taken OFF of high risk. This is a very good news, but now we don't get an ultrasound every time. I have already had 3 and I am 8 weeks and 7 days. I had two more scheduled next month, but they canceled one of them. They also moved the due date to January 29, 2009.

With Kaiser I am assigned to a mid-wife (endometeriosis specialist) and a physician. It was our first time meeting the physician and she was very nice. As she was reading my chart she was talking out loud and said "ok... I see that you have gained one pound so far." Brian remarked, "ONE POUND... and your already wearing stretchy pants!" After digesting his comment, I thought why is that? My belly does look a lot bigger and my old pants are way to uncomfortable to wear. My cramps have been so bad that I just can't wear anything with a button. So, I am already wearing maternity pants (just a little stretch in the waist). When you see me, please don't be surprised to see me in "stretchy pants"!

Hey, every woman who is pregnant, the instant she gets pregnant should go into stretchy pants! I did when I got pregnant. It's psycologically preparing you for all the 'fun' to come. Besides, I don't know why EVERYTHING seems tight the minute you know your pregnant!

There is a new waist that motherhood maternity has that I love. I got a skirt and I swear I will wear it every single day this summer. We should go to Motherhood together at the mall when Im there. How does July 3rd sound? Dont feel bad there is something about how things feel around your waist. I cant stand things that are restricting! Since this is #3 I already look like Im 5 months pregnant so dont be surprised when you see me. Congrats on getting off high risk!
