Tuesday. Thoughts. Put em here.

[mosdub]

Tuesday's are the worst. Lacking energy from the weekend, but so far from Friday.

But, tomorrow I have off for my A/S! So it feels kinda like a fun Tuesday for once! What's everyone up to?

[erinshelley21]

I'm up. So far I've made muffins (from a packaged mix. Nothing crazy), unloaded the dishwasher and threw a load of laundry in the washer. Dh forgot to take the trash out last night and left for work over an hour ago so I have to do that too. It hurts just thinking about it. My back is killing me!

I have to go to the dentist this morning. I am not excited. I'd rather go to an annual gyno exam than the dentist.

My days for the rest of the month will be work, pack, cook dinner, clean, and do it all again.

I did a bit too much work on the weekend cleaning our new place and was really sore Sunday night. But feeling better today.

My stomach is feeling uncomfortably large now. I can't seem to ever get comfy.

[ladytiffany24]

I'm here. And annoyed already. Having another one of those mornings where everyone stops in my office with an issue or to talk to me before I've even had a chance to take a deep breath in my chair. Gah.

[moutonrouge]

I've been MIA while traveling for work. The flight and long drive out here were both fine. The actual work part has been frustrating but I expected that.

My belly button is stretching and becoming more of an innie. It looks weird to me. That's my uber random thought for today.

[meggypoo1]

MH and Clara are home sick today. She has a low fever and a cough. He has a cold. I really hope I don't get it.

I'm right there with you on the packing. We got lucky and a three bedroom apartment is available so we're moving on the first. I'm excited but also not.

Counting down to Thanksgiving break over here.

Moving is the worst. But yay for us being in our new place in time for xmas!

. I was just catching up on yesterdays thread and saw your post about the fetal echo.
As far as I know, they are pretty standard for anyone considered high risk. It is just an extra detailed look at the heart that the a/s cant quite get.
I'm in a similar situation where everything has checked out fine on my a/s, but I will still be getting an FE as a precaution.
Since everything seems fine so far, the chances of them finding anything are small and even if they do it is likely a negligible issue like a slight murmur.
Try not to worry! I am sure it is just to cover all bases.

AFM, I have laundry to catch up on today. We have been trying to clear out the spare room to turn it into a nursery, but this meant random crap got dumped in our room because of course thats what happens. So, I havent been able to reach our laundry hamper for 4 days.
I have an appointment tomorrow and would really like some clean underwear so I'd better get on that.

obi: Yup, counting down to the Christmas break! I have to survive our extended hours for university exams first though. Gah, even less time to do Christmas shopping.

Oof. Thats rough. Just a few more weeks!

[callmeKD]

obi - do you know why the acceptable range of blood sugar numbers are lower for GD then for type 2? I had someone ask me and I didn't have any idea. my mom keeps telling me that my numbers are so low (and they are compared to what her range is).

[erinshelley21]

I managed to remain cavity free even though I didn't brush my teeth before bed for like 2 months!

[erinshelley21]

I think I'll reward myself with Taco Bell for lunch, unless the new boutique in town has a good soup selection for today.

I want Taco bell now!

If you do get Taco Bell, I hope you get judged less than I did. The tone the bitch had when she asked "is that all?" Was not nice.

[missi]

Mmh.. I'm having a breakfast grande scrambler with steak. Oh Taco Bell.. why are you soo convenient?

[Quinstar]

So the ultrasound didn't go as I'd hoped, but it wasn't exactly bad news.

We're going back in next month, to look at his heart again. It really hasn't changed, if anything the spots got smaller, but their still pretty prominent. The concern is that they might be something called a Rhabdomyoma, (basically a tumor) which is connected to a genetic disease called Tuberous Sclerosis. Yes I googled the ever-lovin-crap out of it. It's not great.

Now, the doctor isn't worried. He just wants to be extra certain that it's not a possibility. DH is firmly in the 'He's going to be fine' camp, but I'm still processing. Obviously it wasn't what I wanted to hear, but I called the doctor this morning with more questions, and I feel a little better, but still. This was supposed to be the 'just making sure' appointment.

Everything else was great. He looks amazing. He has long legs, and he kept getting hiccups while they were listening to his heart, messing up the waves. The ultrasound was fun, watching him move and feeling it too.

[missi]

~huge hugs~ Quinstar

Pregnancy is such a time of feeling like you can't control things. Keeping you in my thoughts as you process this.

Geeze lady, if you are going to be judgy about Taco bell food, then you probably shouldn't work there.

No kidding! It's not like people go there to eat healthy!

[callmeKD]

Big hugs Quinstar I hope everything turns out ok with baby's health!

[erinshelley21]

That's tough Quinstar. It's so hard not to worry. I hope the next month flies by and you're able to get more answers at the next ultrasound.

[caer]

(((Hugs))) Quinstar. I'm sorry for the uncertainty. I hope time flies until the next scan and that everything looks great next time.

[suelou18]

Quinstar - It's hard not to worry, especially when you just have to sit and wait.

And now that you guys have mentioned it, I'm now going to have tacos for lunch from the local shop.

[cosmicav]

I am in a really shit mood today. That's all I can say honestly. I've done a good job not flicking off 5th graders though so I'm winning.

[ladytiffany24]

Quinstar, So sorry for all the uncertainty! Sending hugs your way!

[jnow]

Huge hugs Quinstar I know it's going to be a long month, I'm sorry you have to worry about this.

[glb30]

Hugs Quinstar. I hope the next ultrasound brings reassurance, and that the time in between goes quickly.
