I should be embarrassed by my photo but you know what? This is real life. I haven't showered in a couple days, my hair hasn't been washed in God knows when (5 or 6 days is my guess), the last time I shaved my legs I forgot to shave one of them and for the love of all that is holy my children woke up at SIX A.M. THIS MORNING. I am not in the best of moods at the moment.
I know that we have missed week 12 & 13 but I was on a lovely vacation far, far away from all responsibility aside from the survival of my current 3 children. We road tripped out to Washington State to see family and made some stops at Glacier National Park in Montana and also stopped in Rapid City for a day to see Mt. Rushmore. We had a grand time and Squirt was very nice to mom. I didn't have to pee too often and my nausea did rear its ugly head a few times but nothing horrible. All in all a very big success!
Squirtypie had his/her first doctor appointment on Monday. Susa didn't seem surprised to see me. All he asked was why my hair looked different. The man has seen my who-ha 8 million times but he notices my hair. Which, by the way, nothing was different. It was wet because I had enough time to shower quick before my appointment. I'm sure he would have loved doing a cervical in my current cleanly condition.
Squirt's heartbeat was running at 153 beats per minute and I got to see baby on the big screen! At first I didn't think I needed an ultrasound but changed my mind at the last minute. I couldn't resist seeing my little pumpkin. Everyone agreed with my dates so due date remains 12/25 but Squirt was measuring almost a week bigger. I know that means nothing. Probably all the snacks I had on the trip fattened him up. Every single time I see my babies in an ultrasound I'm amazed at what Max and I create. There really is a baby in there. That hit me very hard while at the appointment. Obviously I knew I was pregnant but I'm busy. I'm running around after 3 kids so I don't have much time to think about it. I am growing a human baby part Max part me in there. Another addition to our clan. I can't believe it.
I got all the normal tests done, I'm doing another water birth so got that extra HepC test done and lucky me it was time for a pap smear as well. Thank goodness I didn't have the kids with me. My Gma and my aunt watched them for me. I can just imagine the questions Dexter would come up with if he was in the room while I was having a cervical done. "Why is the doctor looking between your legs? " "Why don't you have underwear on?" "Can I see that metal thing? "Does Daddy know what's going on?" Oh gosh. Seriously.
I'm anxiously anticipating feeling the baby hopefully this week! I felt Simon & Ada at 14 weeks so I hope the same follows for Squirt. I guess I will let you know next week.
Off to shower and hopefully my foul mood goes down the drain with all the dirt and grime and momness that has accumulated.
