Doctor Visit

Well, I had a Dr. visit today where they do the gluclose screening and I am an O- for blood type so I get a Rogham shot as well during this visit. Usually this visit can be long and dreadful, but with this pregnancy, I was very relaxed! I had no children with, my neighbor watched them, and I brought a book. Everything went smoothly. The Lab Tech did a great job with my blood draw, which I don't know how many times I've looked straight at the picture of the deer in front of me the last 3 1/2 years, and I actually like the Orange flavored glucola that you have to drink!! I know, I'm nuts.
My visits with Susan (my midwife) are always hilarious and sometimes I feel like I have my own free comedy show about every 4 weeks. For some reason chatting with another woman about husbands, birth, IUD's, vagina pains, vericose veins, an inservice on how to wear your "normal" jeans longer with a rubber band, husbands, weight, acne, and husbands is just more hilarious when you are in an exam room (pants on or off) with someone as blunt and as funny as my midwife! I love her! I think I will start to pray each night now that she will be the one to deliver this baby-she didn't deliver my little Halloran!

Anyway, then on my down time today while waiting for results and a second bloodraw, I got to read! Wow! I have a new goal to read a book, just for me, whenever I can get a chapter in here and there. So I started "Eat, Love, Pray" or "Eat, Pray, Love"...whatever, by Elizabeth Gilbert, another woman "in" my life that I can laugh out loud to and relate too as well. Amazing. So anyway, when I went back up stairs to the Clinic...again, I read some more, and then, lucky me, Nurse Kelly gets to poke me in the butt with my Rogham shot. And that, my friends, is how my relaxing visit to the Dr. ended. Me, standing up by the little examination bed, with half my a@# showing. Gotta love it.

I had susan for my last two and LOVED LOVED her! She was amazing both times. Seriously, it is because of her that my labor with Trigg went so smoothly (I have REALLY hard long labors). I will pray you get her too! =)

SO, how far apart will your kids be?

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my ...

Round two!

I got to come home for a little bit and play with Brady and Halle, give them a bath (me a shower) and then laid them down for a nap. I took some ibuprofen, I think I have an overdose of a "caffeine, lack of sleep, still wearing my contacts" headache! So now I am going to try and nap a little and then it's back to the hospital with Shelby for round two of SLUMBER PARTY AT THE HOSPITAL WITH A SICK BABY! Not worthy of all caps joy, but I'm trying to be optimistic about it all! So we had a rough night last night, she didn't sleep for a full hour from 9-1am, then she had a bit of an issue with her nebulizer treatment (meaning she didn't like it) and then her IV came out. Yadda yadda. Finally at 3 am she was ready to settle down and then she slept till 7am. On my chest. Luckily I was tired enough to get most of that sleep as well, until about 6:30ish. I just feel so bad for her! I felt bad for me a little too about 1:00 am. I wanted to just cry my eyes out from bein...

Who did we welcome home TODAY????

Shelby Capri Bergman 6 lbs. 5 oz. , 19.5 inches long May 30th, 2008 10:52 pm I just want you all to know that everything went picture perfect. She's beautiful, she's healthy and she's very content. I don't have a ton of pictures yet, my mom took pictures during delivery and I took some today when we got home, but since we don't have internet at home now, it will be slow coming! I had my membranes stripped at 9:45 am on Friday. Afterwards, Tom and I went to Walmart, Applebees's, my sister's classroom to help move some stuff (I supervised... I was a little sore), and then home. I took a nap and Tom started getting ready for supper. His 4 hour long, grilled ribs...and that is how the story begins! So we keep joking that I am going to go during his first trial run with the ribs. This starts at around 3:30 pm. Then, we run out of propane and start all over a...
