Leila takes flight.
Posted on Wednesday, January 6th, 2010 at 4:51 pmHappy New Year everyone! I know I’m a little delayed with that, but ah well. I hope everyone had a safe and happy new years. I decided it would be a smart idea to slip and fall on the ice and hit my head. The day after, I couldn’t move my neck. So I took my heated up rice sock and kept it where it hurt all day and night. By the next day I had full movement in my neck with only slight discomfort. Woohoo! We went over to a friends’ house for New Years Eve. I got to be the designated driver– though I wish I coulda gone to bed at 9:30!! Haha.
In other news, I will be taking a trip in just a few days. (No really, just a few days haha!) I fly out in 11 days to Philadelphia. My dads side of the family lives out there and my grandpa’s health has been kinda bad for awhile. I haven’t seen them since probably the summer of 2000. And this is the only time I can go. I mean, I’m not dragging a newborn on an 8 hour flight.. nor driving 3 days with one! Nooo thanks! So I called my doctor and he said he didn’t want me flying past 30 weeks– which cut my time frame short! (Considering I’ll be 25 weeks tomorrow.)
I also have my next appointment in a week. Now that I have my own fetal heartbeat doppler and can hear Leila whenever I want.. I dont look forward to the appointments as much. I used to live for them– especially before I started feeling her move. I didn’t truely believe there was a baby in there. Sometimes it still suprises me. In all honesty, pregnancy has been totally different than I thought it was going to be. I dont know, for some reason I felt that the early signs (including morning sickness and cravings).. didn’t come that early! And movement.. movement has been totally different than I expected. Sure, people say “It’s like butterflies!” No, not really. It’s like I gotta fart but really I dont. I thought I’d “feel pregnant” but I dont. I look the part, I feel her move.. but I thought there’d be some crazy new feeling. I feel exactly like I did before I got pregnant.. but with some movement in my belly and slight (sometimes not so slight!) discomfort. And way more cravings than before, haha.
Well, I’m gonna head off. I need to get ready for work. Have a good day.
