It's Been A While

It feels like it's been a while since I've posted so here I am :)
I'm still job searching, though I haven't looked at all yet this week. The kids and my husband had the day off yesterday and so I was with them all day. It was a relaxing weekend for the most part, although yesterday life got pretty hectic. It's okay though; every battle you face in life will only make you stronger, right?
I've been dealing with some serious bouts of nausea and vomiting once over the weekend, but the nausea is horrible. I did have one day last week where I felt completely normal and not sick at all, and it was really nice.
I weighed myself at the grocery store (Publix) the other day and it looks like I haven't gained anything at all since my last doctors appointment - which of course is sweet - and also, shocking because I've been eating significantly more food than I was prior to this pregnancy. I guess that's because I'm making a lot of healthy choices and not overeating much at all.
I bought some Johnson's baby bath when I was at the grocery store today :) It's the third thing in my baby collection that I now own. The other two items are diapers from the Honest Co. with little giraffes on them, and Honest Co. wipes. I was so happy to buy it! I want to go on a shopping spree of course, but I am trying to be smart and give it more time....just in case. You never know what can happen. Speaking of the store - I thought I lost my wallet there today. I left the store in a hurry because my son had left his laptop in the truck instead of bringing it into school with him when I dropped him off, and he needed it for class, and when I got there, I realized..."Oh, my God, my wallet is gone". Turns out it fell into a bag of groceries I had on the seat next to me, and after going back to the store frantically harassing several store employees asking if they had seen my wallet, and I thought I was doomed, I cried. I just started crying in the middle of the store because all I could think was I left it in the cart, which I never do, and someone had stolen it. The old man I last spoke with there said, "Make sure you cancel all of your cards!" to which all I could give as a reply was a nod. Yeah, found it in a bag of groceries when I made it home, after crying for 15 minutes. LOL Thank God!
Tomorrow I have a doctor's appointment, and I'm hoping I can hear the baby's heartbeat on Doppler at this point. I don't see why I shouldn't be able to - I'm over 10 weeks, so I'm sure I should be fine to. I'm supposed to go over blood work results, meet with the financial counselor and set up further testing options, and also get a pap smear since I unfortunately couldn't have one at my last appointment due to things running behind (midwife had to deliver a baby). I am nervous, ladies. In previous years, I was told I had cervical dysplasia, where cancerous cells were found on my cervix and they were then destroyed. I was told it could come back at any time. I had been following up on it for a while there every 6 mos as instructed by the doctor, until I lost my insurance. Now, it's been about 3 years since I have had a pap and I'm nervous. It was actually when I was pregnant with my last son that I found out about the cells. So, it was 11 years ago. Without having had him, I never would have known I had cancer growing. That's why I call him my Angel baby - even still. I feel like he saved my life.
I have been doing really well with keeping my blood sugar in check. Speaking of which, I just took a nap and now I'm starving. I will probably eat some yogurt. I don't know if ya'll are excited as I am for pumpkin flavored everything this season, but when I was at Publix the other day and saw that Chobani was on sale 10/$10, and they had pumpkin flavored yogurt out already, I was elated! I could only find ONE pumpkin yogurt, though, unfortunately. Just one. I am so getting more!
How is everyone doing this week? :) Talk to me!

 | Comment from pbc910 » Posted Sep. 8, 2015 1:21pm I buy a baby item each time I go to the grocery and now have a nice little stock under my sink. I go to the store so much that I know when prices are good so I usually buy then. I have the bad habit of throwing my wallet in grocery bags before leaving the store. I really need to stop it but I hate carrying a purse. There have been so many times I've had a mini freakout when getting home to find it sitting on the counter. Hopefully the results of your pap come back ok. I know how it is to worry though. I'm worried about my next appt and have no reason! There is a relaxation that comes in the 2nd trimester where things don't seem so urgent, serious, etc. First trimester we worry about our babies making it to 12 weeks. THen third trimester, we worry about babies making it to birth. I don't like yogurt but for some reason that sounds really good! |
