25 weeks...

We went on the hospital tour last Monday.  Now we know where to go and what to expect.   We even got to experience it this weekend.  Friday, 3AM I woke with a headache.  I took some Tylenol but woke up with it anyway.  Took more Tylenol and high blood sugar and it still didn't help.  My blood sugar was high that day and it didn't help that I had a bagel for breakfast.  Anyway, called my OB at 7PM and she said to try Sudafed and Tylenol.  Unfortunately, I was shaky all night and still had a headache.  Felt even worse by then so I called her back after I ate (I had hoped some food would help but it didn't) so she said go to labor and delivery.  We checked in, they hooked me up to monitors and did blood work.  Everything was normal so my Dr said I could take Benedryl and Zyrtec.  I took the Benedryl last night and slept so hard.  It felt so good.  This morning I took the Zyrtec.  I still have a twinge of headache but not like yesterday and I feel better knowing it's just allergy related.  Mold count is really high right now.  My blood sugar is still up and down.  I'm not sure if it's related to the additional meds I'm taking or not.  Could be just pregnancy and I need more insulin as I progress.

Symptoms I felt this week:

• Breasts don't hurt but now are itchy
• Tired
• Headache (unrelated to pregnancy thank goodness)
• Belly popping out
• Very full belly 
• Baby kicks and movement
• Sleeping issues

24 weeks...

This week was uneventful on the pregnancy part.  I'm really grateful for that.  We did adopt an adorable kitten named Curtis. He's full of energy and spunk.  Amelia is not ready to accept him completely.  She hisses but that's it.  I guess that's enough for her to get her point across.  "This is my house and I make the rules"

On the pregnancy part, we just had our hospital tour.  We saw the labor and delivery rooms and the postpartum rooms.  We know where to go when it's time.  We are almost down to 15 weeks till our little "Roscoe" arrives.  Can't believe we are about to become parents.  It's a dream I started to think was unattainable and now is almost a reality.  We have so much to do to get this house ready.  J said October was when he was going to start on everything.  I'll see what happens this weekend.  I'll keep trying to get my part done.  That's all I can do at this point.  I'm excited for the day we meet her.  I'm also so terrified of making mistakes.  I don't know if we'll be able to have a second baby. We have one embryo left and if it doesn't work, we're done.  I suppose that will have to be okay since we won't have time to try anything more than just that one.

Symptoms I felt this week:

• Breasts still hurt and feel like they are still growing
• Tired
• Belly popping out
• Very full belly 
• Baby kicks and movement
• Sleeping issues
