When I looked under my labels I saw that I had only one posting under pregnancy, so I decided to post an update. I'm six months now, time has flown by quickly. Usually whenever you're pregnant time drags on. This pregnancy has been relatively uneventful and overall the best pregnancy I've ever had and I praise God for it! With my oldest son I had the severe form of vomitting that lasted until the day I delivered. The twin pregnancy wasn't too bad, but I was severely anemic and had constant fainting at night. My last son's pregnancy was the worst. I had gestational diabetes, a very painful lupus rash (if that's what it was), and all of his heart complications that had me at the doctor 3 and 4 times a week. So in comparison, I'm doing very well. My blood pressure, blood sugar, and iron levels are all great. The last couple of weeks I've had fainting/dizzyness, but it's getting better everyday. My energy and sanity are pretty good for a big pregnant person, I usually lose those too. The baby moves a lot but its not painful like my last pregnancy. This baby seems to be very healthy. His heart rate is good, usually in the 150's. He has had several ultrasounds and we meet with the high risk doc. to monitor his heart. The last echo of his heart looked great, he'll have another one in a couple of weeks. I am very anxious to meet the new baby and name him and cuddle him and nurse him. We have no names, so suggestions are more than welcome. I don't have much to do to prepare for baby. I need to get down the baby clothes and buy a drawer to put them in. I need to buy snappis and Lanolin. I think I'm in the market for a new nursing bra. I've been using the ones from my first birth and they're showing signs of wear. I need to get some diaper covers and make a few more diapers. I think that's about it. I went to Babies R Us this week. Not to buy anything, but just to look. That's what pregnant people do I told my husband. It was fun looking at the overpriced posh baby bedding and sitting in the recliners. I got to see those new denim diapers that I'll never pay $20 a pack for! I also went to Best Buy and looked at those super cool washers and dryers. I guess when you have 5-ish kids your defintion of cool becomes slightly altered. These appliances were pretty enough to sit and watch like TV.
