All I know is I have started to go for visits about every two weeks now and I'm feel great minus the unbelievable ache in my pelvis and a total drop off in energy. Honestly though I can't complain too much. I have a goal to stabilize my weight gain still. Last week was a gong show that way. With all the marking and course wrap up my butt was stuck on the couch and took that opportunity to grow. I managed to somehow gain about 4 pounds in one week! Well not this week! I realized this is a lofty goal with Christmas just days away, but the difference I think will be that I am more active when on holidays and I feel like I have the time to hop on my treadmill and walk it out a bit more. I tried going for a walk around the neighbourhood but found my self in an area that was covered in ice....sheets of ice that had been covered with a dusting of snow. I managed to get myself and Zeppelin back home without falling but all the correcting did a number on my core. Apparently that part of my body is a little taxed already.
No one told me about this pelvic pain either. When I get up now or am up and walking for too long it hurts something awful. I told Henry it honestly feels like someone kicked me right in the groin bone (I'm so technical :P) I did some reading yesterday to get a better idea of what I could do and someone recommended some stretching. I did that yesterday and I actually feel a good deal better. Still aches but I think the stretching was helpful for everything, my body needed a good stretch.
I did my Glucose Tolerance Test on Friday and got my results Monday. I passed with flying colors! I wasn't really worried though. I felt completely fine during and after the test, I actually enjoyed the chance to sit and ready without distraction. Trying to enjoy that while it lasts :) I was told this drink was so gross and syrupy but it tasted just like orange pop and I had no problem with that!
Also on Monday I had my Rh shot at the hospital. I am Rh Negative and since that is rare the standard and normal procedure is to get a shot that prevents my body from creating antibodies against Rh Positive blood. I got all jacked up about the info since this subject area was and still is my favorite part of Biology. If I had any idea what I could have done for a career in Genetics, I dunno, I think that would have been really interesting to me. Not sure I had the stellar marks in High School to do something like that. Don't get me wrong I was a good student, but just not top o' the class student. Anyways, I digress.
Life is good. Our baby girl is incredibly active and has a personality it seems already. I am amazed and in awe still at the idea of this tiny baby hanging out and that she will be here so soon. It's a beautiful thing that Henry and I are so incredibly excited about. We want to do the Nursery over the holidays and I am really excited about getting things in order and ready for her arrival. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and then Christmas! Honestly though, for the past few months, everyday has felt like Christmas to me when I get to wake up and feel those reassuring kicks and movements. God has blessed us and we are so very grateful for everything we have.
Merry Christmas!
