Christmas Eve

Happy Christmas Eve! Yay me! Anyway... it's Christmas eve and I wish I could say it felt like the holidays or even that I was excited about it. So I did get in touch with the Dr finally and they want me to do a 3 hour GTT because my sugar was high when I did the 1 hour one. I was supposed to do it yesterday, but I got a cold and didnt want to sit there for 3 hours and be all miserable. I rescheduled for next Thursday Dec 30th.

So remember I was crying for a week and having a very rough time? Well I have attributed that to the fact that my hormones were changing. The last couple weeks was when the baby's placenta was taking over hormone production. I can only imagine thats what was making me go nutty like I was. I'm still very emotional and cry a lot but it's getting better.

I stopped taking the progesterone suppositories this past Monday. Monday night was the last one I took and so I'm hoping the placenta took over and is doing what it is supposed to be doing. I'm worried about it and I want to call the Dr and ask if I can come in and have everything checked out to make sure it's all going ok. I have my appointment in a bit over a week but still might ask. I hate worrying so much when it's unnecessary. So since stopping the progesterone, I thought maybe my face would clear up, but it hasnt. I think it has actually gotten a bit worse. I'm hoping that it's just going to take a bit because I'm really broke out bad since I get pregnant. I still have morning sickness, it hasnt let up like everyone says it supposed to. Maybe next month when I'm actually into my second trimester for a couple weeks it will settle down. Other than that the only other thing that is getting to me is this cold. My head and nose are all stuffy and I'm coughing a bit. It's hard cause everytime I sneeze or cough hard I pee myself. I think baby is moving up and off my bladder because I'm not peeing quite as much as I was. I still pee often enough though. I'm also peeing a lot more as well because baby's organs are working now, including bladder and kidneys! :) It's so amazing to think about this little miniature human being inside of me. Baby is about 2.5 inches now but has all the working pieces and parts of a real person. By the end of January the baby will be big enough to fit in the palm of my hand... I just cant wait til I can feel it in there and see my belly getting bigger. Right now I just dont notice it. I mean my pants are tighter and everything, but I really want to see it.

Oh yeah, I was having dreams for a couple days and in the dreams baby was a girl. I wonder if thats a sign that it is a girl or if it's really a boy and my mind is playing tricks on me. I guess we'll see how things go. I was hoping that by the next appointment we would be able to find out if it is a boy or girl, but I will only be about 14.5 weeks. It says it's usually about 16-18 weeks when you can actually see what baby is. So we may end up having to wait til the next appointment in the beginning of Feb. I think I will be about 19 weeks then... Feb 9th is my half way point! 20 weeks... I'm glad December is going by so quickly, I'm not realizing the time going by. I mean I was just 10 weeks not too long ago and I'm already past 13 now... I just hope the rest goes by at a nice pace. Not so fast that I miss anything, but fast enough that I get to meet my baby!
