6 months pregnant and all is generally well. We're both fine and baby is very wiggly! We're due Nov 29.

I'm exhausted all the time, but that's pretty normal, I understand, so I'm spending a lot of time asleep. This one is going to be a sciatic baby, we're discovering. I'm only a little bitter about i when I am limping around, or sitting and feeling like I have needles being driven into my feet. I still have morning sickness, which is a total downer.  The worst thing is brushing my teeth every morning! i've also found that not eating at 8, 10:30, 12ish, 3, 6 and sometimes 9 or 10. If I'm late... oh, bad things happen, from morning sickness to dizziness. I get chronic headaches, which dr is sympathetic about but just shakes a tylenol bottle. I hear it's normal.

Our little health challenge this month is that the placenta is a little too low. Next month's appointment will show if it's moved up where it should be. i'm still getting sonograms every month, which is comforting for me, but isn't normal. They're keeping a close eye on me.

Baby is a BOY! We went through a name crisis, agreeing on one name that I nixed three days later. Of course, Daddy REALLY loved it. Name trauma ensued until we finally settled on one we both really like.

Emotionally, I'm pretty fragile and tend to "overreact" to emotional situations. In love, it's delightful... in tears.. ugh. I *know i'm being a hormonal bitch, but just can't stop it.

I really need to get on my sationary bike, but the motivation SO isn't there. It would really help with feeling better now and later, but eh.

I'm being punched from the inside right now.

I woke at 2 to vomit but didn't.

My back hurts like the motherfuckinggoddamnedsonofafuckingbitch Cruciatus.

I'm still being punched.

I have not had any chocolate yet but this will be corrected posthaste.

It's cloudy outside. I hope this means it'll cool off.

That is all.

Today is the first day of a new da... uh... eating path. I am being forced to have two morning meals by my little parasi... baby boy, thus, at one, I'll be eating fruit and OJ, which I just don't like, darn it, and at the other, I'll be having cereal/milk. For lunches either a sandwich or salad. Dinners, which I'm not in charge of, should be red meat-less. Dane and I chatted this morning while he was finishing up his morning walk (I really am very proud of him for taking control of his health like this!)

I've actually been losing weight with this pregnancy, which dr doesn't mind at all. Next checkup on 9.3 so we'll see if I've been able to keep it under control.

Last night's dinner was tikka masala (yummmmy) and beans... less yummy but dutifully eaten.

Thus, today, I have started with an apple. While this may not seem impressive, I really am not a fruit fan, so it's taking me awhile to get it down *grins* I am eating it, though, so I don't get in trouble.

At midmorning -  Hungry:00, I brought cereal and milk.

Tonight is the "get on your bike and ride" night - which isn't as impressive as it sounds, lol. Dr. won't let me on a real bike (thank God) so the stationary recumbent in the basement will do perfectly as I watch Matlock.

Did I mentioned the 12th was my 4th anniversary? Some of you remember the wedding even, lol. We've grown so much in the last 4 years. I think we're doing pretty well now, despite all of the challenges. We spent the evening at home - he made a lovely ribeye, creamed spinich (hush, it's yummy) and pilaf dinner and generally just hung out the way we always do. He did bring me some roses to the office, which was lovely - and well thought out since we don't have AC... he wanted them to last so brought them to the palace of cool air. It was nice - very low-key, which is very us, lol.

I've finished rereading Tapestry am have actually picked up a pen again. After 8 years writing, I'm in a great place to write again and am determined to finish it, if only to shut Severus up.

I was reminded today that I haven't posted in a long dang time. Oops, sorry.
 
What's new? Gosh, not much, really. I'm a pretty happy camper!
 
Looking back, I see that i never updated folks on that gestational diabetes test. The test was nasty - wow, if you've never done this, seriously, don't make it a goal. It involved four blood draws in three hours after drinking sugar soda. Midway, there's a major sugar crash that made me want to curl up in a little ball on the floor and cry. Of course, I recovered, but golly, it wasn't fun. The good news is that I passed!
 
My feet, hips and butt hurt. Baby is sitting very forward, so when I curl back on my ass to ease it, I sit on my tailbone. Awesome, right? Not so much. I've broken my tailbone three times, thus it's whacked out and not able to be sat upon. My feet and hips hurt cuz I'm pregnant. *shrugs* These will all be just fine in December... uh, maybe January. Frankly, this IS the worst and I don't have anything to complain about.
 
I'm doing well on what's going in my mouth. I'm avoiding fast food really well, eating healthy breakfasts, lunches and dinner. I've stayed the same weight during my pregnancy and at 33 weeks, I think that's pretty good. Doctor isn't worried about my weight in the slightest - though those of you that have met me know that, seriously, it's a good thing that I'm not gaining. The last ultrasound I had showed this boy in baby pike position - which seemes to be a favorite position for him. His head is down but so are his feet, lol. He likes nibbling his toes!

Had a tantrum at my DH a few weeks ago that actually had an effect. I was feeling ignored and hideous. Post tantrum, I have tummy-rubs (which also accomplished him figuring out that my moaning and groaning about being kicked really was about PAIN), being cuddled and reminded that I am attractive, even feeling like a freaking blimp. Today, of course, I had my first serious craving - frozen hostess cupcakes - which he both authorized and purchased. He got kissed for such good behavior.
 
I'm trying to collect information for a financial planner. This money stuff is so frigging brutal. I don't like it, i don't want to deal with it, but I am because I have to, to forestall any kind of money freak out later on down the road. I have help with it, thank goodness, because I'm hopeless with it. I am so very grateful for the assitance!
 
Oh, I wrote a little D/s ficlet, entitled "Brunch", under my alternate ego, cis. It was a quickie write that I had fun dreaming up. I hope you enjoy it. I'd love to hear what you think.
