Week 15

This week has been a week of body change. More people have noticed that I have "popped out". This make me feel pretty good because it means that I just don't look chunky but I look preggers. But with the popping out comes stretch Marks. So I had a wonderful nurse named Maria who gave me a large supply of what is called Tummy Honey Butter. So every night I use it. It also helps with all the itching I have been experiencing in the belly area. The next change I have notice is insane leg cramps. The other night they were so strong I could not even bend my legs. I just laid there in bed with tears flowing, rubbing my belly saying I love you Love Bug! After about an hour and a half. The cramps calmed down and I was able to get back to sleep. So I have stated to take Citracal again at night. Another wonderful thing Dr. Bethel had supplied me with. It’s a Multimineral Supplement of Calcium and Vitamin D. and Genistein. Last is my breast area. I have no idea what the heck is going on with my nipples. They remind me of a page out of a brail book. I swear a blind person could read my boob and it would give them MapQuest directions to New York in brail, pictures and all. Not to mention how dry and sore they have become. So for this issue I recommend Breast Therapy by Gerber. It has saved my life! While I am on the subject of recommending thing I love my Prenatal Vitamin, PrimaCare One. Very easy on my stomach. It could be the fact I take it a night but I love it the same.

On the 7Th I had another Doctors appointment. Real quick on. I heard the baby's heart beat and It sounded stronger then ever and then more lab work was ordered. I then signed the contract with the OB. Good news all we have to pay him is 180.00 for the whole pregnancy. That doesn't count sonograms but that's OK with me.


Saturday was a very long day for me. We had a Rainbow Girl installation. So I was busy from 8AM to about 4PM. My body once again warned me that I was doing too much as I started to bleed again yesterday. This was my reminded to sit back for a little while. Dave my hubby had agreed to do Rainbow Pop for six months and watching him interact with the girls made me day dream a bit about how great of a dad he is going to be. The rainbow girls we're all very excited to find out what we we're having. I think everyone of them asked me twice if I knew yet. Then they were telling me how I should raise our child and what activities I should put them in. One of the girls suggest that we move to Texas and put are baby in a pageant, but don't let her wear makeup. Then tell the crowd that this is what a beautiful child should look like. I laughed by butt off because that is something I could see myself doing! One of the girls also gave me a beautiful flower arrangement for helping her with her term.


After the installation we went to Toy R Us to look for a BBQ game called Bongo. We couldn't find it there so I told Dave that we just go home. We then get into the car and he starts driving the opposite direction of home. I figured that he wanted to try Wal-Mart to see if they had the game. Well Dave pulls into the Babies R Us parking lot and parks. I looked at him and said "What are we doing here?" He replied "well we are going to have to buy baby stuff aren't we?" So we get in the store and he says "well what section do you want to start in?" I say bath stuff but he said let’s start with cribs. So we looked around Babies R Us for a while and then went to Dinner, during dinner Dave talked about how influenced the rainbow girls were by their parents actions and what kind of parent he wanted us to be. And I share with him my thoughts. It was a good way to end the week!
