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.
