Pregnancy RoundUp - Who Would Have Thought Version

As in, I actually expected the last round up to be the last one before delivery, and look at me have another go!

- I have wisdom overload thanks to the great timing of a wisdom tooth emerging right around this time...it could have waited, but no! I am not taking any pain meds, and I don't plan to unless I can't avoid it.

- Bring on potato chips, keep the sweets on...and you have me happy.

- I tend to feel this fuller feeling in my pelvis, and some general amount of tugging....not painful at all.

- I hadz a BH! I hadz it when my mum was checking the baby's position...and she asked me if I was having one (my belly went hard)...and I said - 'I don't know'...there was no pain, but now I know what I need to watch out for.

- Season loves the CTG blobs...two blobs get bound to my belly for the readings, and Season tends to kick at the blobs or move between them. Which sometimes leads to the lovely 'Loss of Contact' or the nurse/doctor having to move the blobs a bit to get the readings.

- My belly suddenly feels and looks fuller and rounder to me, and a bit affected by gravity!

- I can sleep well. Be very, very jealous of that.

- I have to remain extra cautious climbing up and down the stairs, because I seem to become very 'conscious' that I can't really see where I am putting my foot.

- For much of my adult life, my weight has either increased or stayed consistent, but this past few weeks, there has been crazy swinging/fluctuation in my weight. At today's weigh-in, I was 1.3 kg lesser than the reading last time (about 4 days ago). I wish it were this easy for me to lose weight in my normal life...

    Yay! I love encore-s :-) .
    My 2 eurocents:
    The weight might fluctuate according to time of day and fluid intake. I loved sleep while pregnant, which I can't say for the months after birth.. The blobs are apparently to be kicked - I can almost see the baby laughing when contact is lost.

    As for the wisdom tooth - told ya you're already wiser! I hope you don't want any other proof. :-)

    haha, totally hear you on the stairs and the weight thing... I also wish I were perplexed in not-pregnant life by sudden weight losses ;)

    and I can sleep well, too - I wake up once a night to go pee, but other than that 0 I sleep soundly.

    And I also discovered BH by chance - and keep touching my belly to feel more (which I do every now and then... just had a BH while having breakfast).


    I hope your wisdom tooth slows down its progress until after the baby arrives! Now I am glad I had all 4 extracted a few years back (at the time I was miserable).

    You're getting close!!!

    ugh, a wisdom tooth, NOW??? i remember that being the worst pain ever (until i had kidney stones, a c-section and my wisdom teeth REMOVED), it actually made me physically ill to the point that i had to miss a couple days of work a couple of times (it took about a year for them to come in). i hope yours aren't as awful as mine were, yucko. other than that i'm glad to hear you are doing well, i'm so excited for you! can't wait to see pictures of season (if you post them)!!!

    Ahhh . . . nothing beats a good night's sleep. I don't think I really, really appreciate it until I wake up from a good night and think, "Whoa, that was NICE!"

    I think of you often and am looking forward to the news of Season's arrival!

    Glad that there was another chance for a RoundUp.

    I don't think I've slept properly (well, maybe once or twice) since early 2006...

    Good luck - and be careful on those stairs!

I Should Have Known

...On the night of 19th when my breasts became hard and sore to touch, the nurses brought me hot water bottles rather than my baby. I should have known. ...Birdman was apparently away to Very Big City with our baby. Every SMS update sent to me about her after 16th Jan was fake. I was a donkey eating at his trough. I should have known. ...Visitors who came to see me in the hospital did not look me straight in the eye. I should have known. ...My mother sounded reluctant every time I asked her on a timeline on when my stitches would be cut and I could travel to Very Big City.

Season...

With very limited time and access to the netz, I just want to declare that Lady Season is here. She arrived last Wednesday, and I will someday in future speak of how due to SuperPed's preparedness a crisis was averted. I tend to have firework endings. Her with me, and my first chance of mothering is like a spray of cold water on my face. I am very sleep deprived. Apparently, wise birds said to me that I should sleep when the girl sleeps, but so far my body schedule and kid's schedule are haywire. I hope to be better adapted to this soon. It is tough for me to find net time as of now, and there are a couple of things I want to post online, since CBub's dates also passed by recently, but so far it does not seem to be happening. And I just want to say thanks. Even though I am craptastic at responding, I am reading off and on as I can manage.
