week 9
I am so sorry I missed week 8. I decided to be productive and busy, therefore, totally spacing on the fact that I need to write a blog. I apologize. So here we go week 9.
So monday, september 22, marks the beginning of week 9. But we're starting to have doubts about whether I'm really at week 9. Last week 3 women, and these 3 women have no idea of each other, I know them in 3 different settings of my life......they all made a comment "oh, you're starting to show a little bump! you must be so excited?" Now, my immediate reaction was, "that's not funny at all" but my second reaction was...."I'm way too early to show anything." I'm only going on 9 weeks. So I turned to my trust pregnancy guide "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and that book gave me 2 options for what why I would be showing right now. #1. I am further along than I think. or #2. There is more than one baby in there (twins). hmm......
So I mentioned it to the OB clinic at Tripler Army Hospital. They decided that they are going to stick with my original due date for the time being, until they can do an ultra sound to measure my uterus and see the size of it. This will give us the clear idea on whether its twins or I'm further along then we thought. But because they are sticking to my original date, I don't get an ultra sound until after my 16th week, which is about 7 weeks from now. Other then that, they deicded with my medical past, they want me to be labeled "high risk" pregnancy for the time being. So we'll just have to wait this one out and keep an eye on this growing tummy of mine.
Upcoming dr. appts
Sept. 25 Thursday. Kim and I attend a Prenatal class.
Oct. 1 Wednesday. Go to get labs done
Oct. 9 Thursday. Meet with the high risk doctor
Oct. 20 Monday. Go in for doppler, pap, and physical
Other than that, I feel great. I'm totally in love with Skittles right now. I can't get enough of them. I ate a pound bag on my own last week. And i got another started for this week. I'm still loving peaches, grapes, and strawberries. Love my fresh fruit. Like fresh and juicy fruit is delicious to me right now. Kim made it known to me this week that he really wants to be in the delivery room, but he DOES NOT want to look in between my legs. I let him know that I think that's a great idea. The peeing has not subsided at all. If anything, its getting worse. We went to Costco and got the janitorial size toliet paper last week. I've all ready gone through 3 rolls. Its so depressing for the trees.
Well, we will write more and let everyone know what happens next week. Hopefully we'll get some insight to our little big tummy issue at our prenatal class. We'll keep you all posted.

week 7
So here it is, week 7. I'm not even in the double digits for number of weeks yet. Oh, I've got a long way to go.
The Oncologist appt went well last Thursday. They are nervous, because they no longer can use radiation techniques to search for masses or cancer spots. From here on out, its all about the blood work and feeling around my lymph nodes. They are nervous that my hormones are going to make everything go crazy, similiar to how it all went crazy during puberty. So, they are keeping a close eye on me and treating me like a little glass doll. But my latest blood work reported that everything was normal. White blood cells were normal, thyroid was normal. Get this, my LDL (the bad cholesterol) was low (I know, and I'm a Kirk). I have an appt. at Makalapa clinic this Thursday to get all registered and into the computers at Tripler Army Medical Center. Hopefully at this time they will give me my first appointment with the OB doctor. I'll keep you updated as Mission: Hamilton Baby unfolds.
So update with the baby. I pee. I pee so much, I am waking up 3 times a night just to take a leak. I am so done with peeing. It disrupts my sleep, it disrupts me when I'm playing my video game, and it disrupts my meals.I would say that I pee about once every hour. Do you know what its like to pee 24 times in one day? I went through a whole roll of toliet paper in 2 days. If this keeps up, I'm getting a catheter so I can just pee in a bag and get my full nights sleep again. I actually had the worst night of my adult life thus far the other night. I went to bed at 9pm. I woke up at 11pm and 1am to relieve my full bladder. At 3am, I was pissed now that I was waking up for the third time. I was so mad, half asleep, walking to the toliet again. I started to pee, when I noticed that my leg was itching me. So I itched, and itched. It started to get worst. Now, I was really upset, because I was going to have to turn "ON" the light. I braced myself, pissed and switched the light on. I had hives on my right leg from my knee to my ankle. I wanted to scream. I didn't know if I could take Benedryl, so I got the Calamine lotion instead. Slopped that on, flushed the toliet and went back to bed. I'm laying in bed on the verge of tears. Kim rolls over and says, "Is everything ok?" I loose it at this point. "No, everything is not OK! This is the 3rd time I've woken up to pee and I look like the pink panther! EVERYTHING IS NOT OK!" Kim bursts out laughing. I look back on the situation now, it was pretty funny, but at the time. I was ready to grab that machine gun again, and shoot the toliet.
Oh yeah, update on the baby, that's right. This week the baby is about 5mm big. Small buds are forming which will be the legs and arms. The heart has divided into right and left chambers. The primary bronchi have developed in the lungs. The appendix is present, as well as the pancreas. The tail has not fully disappeared yet. (yeah!) So with the little arm and leg buds, and the cute little tail still present, I would say that my embryo could be compared to a gecko right now.
Update on WIC, no word. That's 3 phone call into them, no phone calls out. I'm gonna need my machine gun again......
Also, 16 days sober. This kid better be healthy.
And I have decided to upgrade to using 2 pillows for maximum comfort while I sleep right now. Aunt Vanessa, I'll keep you updated on how many it takes in the future.
Also, just so everyone knows the stakes thus far......a source (we'll call them LN) has offered double presents if I have the baby on April 28. Also another source (well call AAO) has told me there is no greater day that April 22 to have a baby.
Ok friends and family. There is the update for week 7. Write more next week!

week 6
Oh shit! I'm pregnant. That was my first reaction. The second, I should have listen to Heather when she told me to go to the bar on the way down to Makalapa clinic. Just in case they told me I was really pregnant.
But here we are. I am 6 weeks pregnant. Kim is sooooo excited, Kim's parents are even more sooooo excited.
So far, I can't say that I've had any monsterous cravings. I can't say that I'm starving or eating for two. Things feel mostly the same. Excpet for the fact that my tities are killing me! I can't take my bra off with out giving a little, "ooh!" or "ouch!" I have been so lucky to not having any morning sickness or nausea, but we shall see if my stomach holds up. One woman, and I won't point any fingers, asked me how I was doing the other day. I replied, "great! Morning sickness hasn't hit me yet" she felt the need to say, "oh, are you sure you are pregnant then?" I wanted to say, "bitch, you think I put up a forcefield around my tities and my period is just on a vacation becuz I'm not sure I'm pregnant? Get off the planet!" but what I actually did was just leave.
Other things I've noticed is my lack of sex drive. poor kim. He's noticed more than me, he's actually the one that pointed it out.
So week 6 comes with a bunch of fun things. One being that the baby in my uterus has a tail. Good things! The tail will eventually become non exsistant, but in the mean time I like to report that my embryo has a tail. The other thing that is coming is an Oncologist/Internal Medicine Dr. appt this thursday. You'll have to wait and read about week 7 to find out what happened there.
As for the moodiness and such, I like to think I've kept the hormones at bay. The only time I've really felt like grabbing a machine gun, was when i called WIC and they didn't call me back that same day. I WANT MY FREE GOODS!
Anyways, that's all for week 6. Just a little bit pregnant. I'll let you guys know what happens when week 7 comes around. WIC better call me back by then.
So far, 10 days sober.
