I have one nerve left and this guy in the cube across the aisle is totally getting on it. He taps his foot all.day.long. When he isn't tapping his foot, he his kicking his cubicle wall, when he's not doing that, he talks non-stop. Him and the guy behind him talk music all friggin' day long. Ok I get it, they like music, they like classic (read, old guy) rock n' roll....but how can you seriously talk about it all day everyday?
It's all I can do to not just scream, will you stop making fucking noise!? But that doesn't even bother me as much as the fact that NO ONE else seems bothered by it. Even when he's kicking the wall and it's making a reverberating noise. I've even tried pointing it out to people and they still don't hear it if they're not paying attention. This bothered me long before I was pregnant too, but now it's driving me absolutely insane. I have daydreams of clobbering him over the head with one of those big clubs like in cartoons.
We're changing our seats around soon, for the 8th damn time in 5 years...I'll be a little further away from him, but then I'll be back in line, and ear shot of the most awful woman on earth. Honestly I think I would take foot tapper over her. She's loud, obnoxious, and has horrible grammar ("I seen it", and "I took a pitcher" (picture)). Not to mention she loves to just hear herself talk all day, makes fun of people constantly and talks in different voices to impersonate people. I thought I had died and gone to Heaven when I was moved here, there is enough cubes and a big pillar in the way that I can block out her voice, but in my new seat I am sure she will come in loud and clear. I only got to enjoy this peace for a few short months. I am not cut out to work in a cube farm, I need my own sound proof office where I can't hear a damn thing.

Lab results- 9 wks 4 days
So I did my 24 urine on Christmas day, took it to the lab the next day and did my fasting glucose test. The nurse called with my results today....my urine had an eleveated amount of protein in it, but I am currently on meds for a bladder infection (which is weird because I have no symptoms for it) and she said the meds could cause this so they want to repeat it. Great, I have no more days off coming up so I'll have to do it on a Sunday and drop it off at the lab on Monday morning. The lab doesn't open until 8am which is when I have to be at work so I'll have to come in late.
Once I share my news at work I have no problem coming in late for appointments because everyone knows pregnancy comes with a lot of doctor appointments. I am even fine with sharing with my boss that I am seeing a high risk doctor and may have a few more appointments than normal. But until then, I hate asking for time off, especially since I have a new boss starting next week. I don't want him to think I am a slacker, but I am also not ready to share yet.
So my glucose test came back excellent she said; I didn't ask but I will when I see the doctor, but I am assuming for now that means I am not diabetic. And if I can get on a healthy diet I should be ok....after all this junk food that's been shoved in my face lately, I am actually excited to go get some fruits and vegetables tomorrow. I also do not have hep b or c or HIV which isn't a shocker, and I am not anemic. She said my levels for that are great and better than her and she isn't even pregnant. She's looking into whether or not my insurance will cover a glucometer, she said often they don't if you're not on insulin. I'll have to get clarification on that...if they think I need one is that just to keep things in check so I don't become diabetic, or am I diabetic but just not bad enough to be on insulin?
So I am scheduled for my NT scan on the 14th but my husband and I discussed it, I don't think we'll be doing it. We aren't thrilled at how inconclusive the results can be....I get that for the vast population, it's fairly accurate but I don't like that a negative result still doesn't guarantee the baby is ok and a positive result doesn't guarantee the baby has something wrong. It wouldn't change what we would do anyway, unless my life was actually in danger, we would not terminate if something was wrong, so I don't see the point of taking on any potential worry. I would also not take the risk, no matter how small, of a miscarriage to have an amnio for further testing if something did show up.
I am a little annoyed though that the doctor's office didn't really explain any of it. It wasn't until a few days after they scheduled me for it that I realized what it was. They just said my next ultrasound, they didn't say what they would be looking for and that it is optional. They gave me a pamphlet but it's obviously written by the labs that adminster the test since it sounds like a commericial, totally pushing the woman to have it. I see my doctor a week before the test so I need to ask more about it.
The only reason I am dissapointed about not having it is I was looking forward to another ultrasound. By then it will have been about a month since my last, and if I don't have it, my next ultrasound won't be until the 18 week anatomy scan. So I am wondering if I could still have the ultrasound, just don't do any of the actual testing or whatever for downs. Not sure if that's possible but it doesn't hurt to ask I guess.

OB Nurse- 8 wks 5 days
So I had my first appt Friday with the OB nurse. It was kind of odd, just because they are all confused as to whether or not I am diabetic. I thought it was clear that I was being sent there because of my risk for developing gestational diabetes, but they all seemed to think I was already diabetic but then didn't think so based on my chart. So the entire appointment consisted of peeing in a cup, and answering a million questions that were on the new patient forms that I had filled out a brought with me. Seriously? I know that isn't the OB nurses' only job, but wouldn't intake appts be a lot more productive if they didn't spend the entire time asking all the same questions I already answered?
So the good news of the appt was that they want me to try lose weight. I didn't think it was safe to, but as long as it's not drastic and it's monitored, it's fine. So that makes me happy since I was really worried about gaining too much, and while I am thrilled I got pregnant so quickly once things started working again, I was a little bummed that I thought I couldn't keep trying to lose. I forgot to ask how much they would like to see me lose. I would imagine not more than 10 or 15, but anything would help. The only downside to it is Christmas is in two days....ha, great time to get back to my diet.
I did well with breakfast and lunch today, but my brother came over tonight and we got Chinese to watch the Dexter finale. I had already seen it of course but he hadn't. But the good news is I don't see my doctor again (well, for the first time since I only saw the nurse) until the week after Christmas so maybe if I do well enough the week after it will show at least a pound loss.
So they're sending me for all of these tests to see if I am actually diabetic or not. So yay, guess what I get to do on Christmas day? I get to pee in a jug all day. It wouldn't be a big deal, I've had quite a lot of experience peeing in things for the last 18 months, but the bad thing is, we'll be at my inlaws most of the day. And it has to stay refrigerated, so I have to take my jug o' pee to my inlaws and keep it in their fridge. Also when I pee, I have to take my whole arsenal to the bathroom with me. They gave me this huge jug, plus this tray thing that I put between the toilet lids so I can just pee into it without trying to aim into a little glass. Thank God they have a fridge in their garage so at least I don't have to put it in the kitchen fridge, yuck! It should also be cold enough that I could keep it outside. And I am lucky that their guest bath is right off the door to the garage, so I can hopefully discreetly grab it out of the fridge and run to the bathroom without anyone being the wiser. I will of course tell my MIL that there is pee in her fridge though, lol. Nope, that's not apple juice!

Reminds me of the time my nephew got ahold of Ryan's spit bottle. He was spitting in a coke bottle, so of course, it looked like (disgusting) coke to a 2-year-old. Ryan kept moving it away from him, but he must not have been paying attention one time cause suddenly my nephew start's crying...like screaming and crying, and throwing up. We couldn't figure it out until someone saw the bottle nearby. Ugh, barf.....poor baby. I cannot believe Ryan's sister didn't rip him a new one for not being more careful.
So I am wondering, for the sake of being discreet, if it would be easier to leave the jug o' pee and the tray at home, and just bring the pee cup that I used for TTC, and some other smallish container to store it in. I got pretty good at peeing in that cup with no major spillage. I guess the question though is what other container could I take, that I am fine with ruining. I'll put my husband on the job, he is good at solving strange problems like that. Ah, I think I got it....an empty Gatorade bottle. I could rinse it out really well and run boiling water in it to make sure there are no traces left of Gatorade. It's small so it would be more discreet, and has a wide mouth so I can pour the pee into it easily from the pee cup. I'm a genius.
So after peeing in a jug all day on Christmas, I have to take it to the lab on Wednesday. Good thing I am off work that day, but it's too bad I have to keep running back and forth between here and the lab. I was supposed to see the doctor that day, but they had to reschedule for a week later, so at least that is one less thing I have to do. So that is my fasting glucose test. When I wake up, I can't eat anything, I have to go to the lab, give them my pee and get bloodwork done. Go home and eat, and then wait two hours and go back to the lab for more bloodwork. I have to repeat that on Saturday.....hopefully that's all the testing I have to do for them to determine whether or not I am diabetic, which I really don't think I am. But at my last bloodwork before I got pregant, I was borderline, so I suppose it's possible I have crossed the line since then but I hope not.
Whew, so much testing to do. I'll be glad when it's done.

2nd picture- 8 wks 1 day
I can't believe how much baby B has grown in just two weeks. Compared to the first picture he/she is so much bigger. This picture is kind of hard to make out the shape though....I think if you turn it upside down, it kind of looks like a rubber duckie with a rider. I was kind of hoping for a better picture since this is the one we'll be giving my SIL and BIL in their frames to announce, but it's healthy, I'll take it.
So I told my best friend about the new OB I'll be going to and she said her OB was in the hospital too so she asked the names. Turns out on of the women was the one that delivered her first! I'm so excited...I was a little nervous about going to a new office, but now I am so excited to possibly get her old doc since she loved her.
I really need to wrap presents, but since cooking dinner I am whipped. I was just lectured about overdoing it, so I had better go lay down.
Second Ultrasound- 8 wks 1 day
The ultrasound went great, eveything is fine and I am still measuring at 8 weeks on the nose. The baby looks huge compared to last time. If you turn the picture upside down it kind of looks like a rubber duckie with a rider on it, lol. Last time the yolk sac was so much bigger than baby but this time baby B dwarfs it.
Ryan went with me, which helped a lot, I know I would have been super nervous had he not been there. The tech paused for like 5 seconds before saying she saw a fetus and a heartbeat so of course I freaked for that whole five seconds, wondering if she was seeing something wrong. But everythng is fine and she didn't see any bleeding either.
When I was done she congratulated me and gave me a hug :)
After that we met with the doctor and I got a lecture for overdoing it on Saturday and spotting. I really didn't think walking and doing a few loads of laundry was overdoing it, but I guess in early pregnancy when you have a history of loss it's really important to rest. I'll have to really take it easy this week in cleaning the house for Christmas eve, I'll have to just do a little at a time.
So the doctor answered some of my questions....I told her it's tapering off but last week I was so hungry I wanted to eat a whole cow. I said I was trying hard to eat healthy but it's hard when you're that hungry. She just smiled and said welcome to pregnancy, so I guess maybe it's not as big of a deal to eat poorly if I am really that hungry. It sounds like it's normal.
So she talked about how this was our last appointment, but she suggested I see a high risk doctor instead of my regular OB's office. Since I am at a risk for developing gestational diabetes she says it's a good idea that I just see them so we can keep on top of it. The office is in the hospital as well, just three floors up from my RE, so when I left there I went upstairs and made my appt with them, I go this Friday to meet with the nurse. I have to remember to call my OB and cancel my appointments made with them. I am a little sad just since I am familiar with my gyn's office but I would have had to get a new OB anyway since my gyn doesn't deliver babies anymore. And it is easier to get to work from the hospital than my gyn's office.
Whew, now I can relax some....I hope I like my new OB. There are four doctors in that office, two women and two men. I would definitely feel more comfortable with one of the women. Both women have a short video on their bio so I'll watch it when I get home, maybe that will help me decide between the two of them, however likely I'll meet with all four in case my doctor isn't available on the day baby B decideds to come into the world.
I'll post a pic when I get home :)

Stress again- 8 wks
I really don't want to rush through my pregnancy, but I just really can't wait to get to second tri. The freak outs and pgal brain are really getting to me. I did quite a bit on Saturday, though not that much to call it overdoing it, but maybe I did, who knows. I walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes, did several loads of laundry and went and got lunch. I had a few more errands to run but got tired so I napped, and then I wrapped a few presents.
In late afternoon I started to get crampy....it wasn't horrible cramps, they were much like the ones I got in the first couple weeks, but it was concerning me that they were back to noticeable uncomfortable cramps since they had really mellowed out the last two weeks or so. So I was back to doing the constant "paranoid check" to make sure there wasn't any spotting. And of course on one of them, two small dots of light pink blood.....I freaked out a little but not too much. I immediately told my husband and then laid in bed with my feet up. So I was in bed from 9:30 Saturday night until about 10am Sunday.
I didn't bother calling the doctor because the last time when I thought I was spotting, they said just to take it easy and rest and it's probably nothing, so I just took the same advice. When I first saw the spotting there was nothing in the toilet, and there was only a tiny thread of blood on the toilet paper. As soon as I got into bed I put in my preogesterone for the night, and I use the presseed applicators so I can get them in deeper, and there was zero blood on the applicator, so I took that as a good sign.
Since Saturday night I have not had any more spotting, but the cramps still come and go, but like I said they're not awful, just more intense than they had been recently. I am pretty sure everything is ok....maybe I just overdid it Saturday and it irritated the cervix and caused a smidge of bleeding. I am also wondering if maybe after a couple week break, I am going through another growth spurt that is causing my uterus to stretch and cramp again. I just hate that I am back to being scared everytime I go to the bathroom....I was getting so much better and now I'm back at square one.
I'm just so glad my second ultrasound is tomorrow, so I don't have to wait long to get confirmation that everything is alright. However now I am even more nervous for it than I would be. But at least Ryan can go with me.
Ugh, I just can't wait for 9:15 to get here tomorrow morning.

Appetite- 7 wks 3 days
I'm amazed....it's almost noon and I am not hungry for lunch. Of course that could easily change in a matter of minutes, but lately I have been starving by 11:15. I didn't even have a huge breakfast, just my usual two servings of honeynut cheerios and a cup of applesauce. Maybe the insane, insatiable hunger is tapering off. I really hope so because I don't know how I am going to keep my weight gain to a minimum when I turn into a monster and want to eat everything in sight. Come to think of it I wasn't super hungry for dinner last night either.
Tuesday was nuts....my boss took us out to lunch for her Christmas gift to us (awesome gift by the way, my old boss used to buy us stuff, let's just say her taste and the rest of the world's did not match up very well). I checked the menu the night before, there wasn't much in the way of healthy. Even salads and sandwhiches were over 1000 calories. I finally settled on half a chicken salad sandwhich and a bowl of chicken noodle soup, but that still came to like 750 calories. However on the way there, I was so stinkin' hungry if we had been in the country I might have been tempted to jump out of the car and devour a living cow right then and there. I decided my "low calorie" meal wasn't going to cut it.
Instead I had a delicious (and huge) cheeseburger with waffle fries. OMG, it was sooooo good, but honestly I wasn't all that full afterward. Not saying I wanted more, but I probably could have put away another 1/2 burger if my life depended on it. I didn't feel the slightest bit guilty either. I mean, if I devoured that huge burger and fries so easily, I am sure half a sandwhich and chicken noodle soup would have done nothing. I'm not even a big chicken noodle soup fan....
So yeah, hopefully this is a sign that I am getting back to a normal appetite. Ryan has to work both days this weekend, so maybe that means I can be productive and get to the gym both days. I have a hard time being productive when he is home, I don't know why. I think for dinner tomorrow, we need to go somewhere that has onion rings. It's the weirdest thing, since I got pregnant, onions smell sooooo good to me. I've always liked the flavor of onions, like if they're cooked in something, but never the actual onions and I always found the smell to be overpowering. But lately, yum. At lunch the other day a waitress walked by with a plate of onion rings and I wanted to follow her, so I'll have to see if they taste as good as they're smelling.
I went to the mall last night to get a new cell phone, and lookie what was right across the hall...a Motherhood Maternity store. I went in to browse for a few, the sales lady was really nice. I got such a good deal on my phone which is my Christmas present from my dad that I can afford to buy something else so I think I will get me some maternity pants this weekend. I am clearly not showing yet, but I need new black pants for work, and it doesn't make sense to buy regular ones, go to the trouble of hemming them and then do it all over again in a few months with maternity. Besides, days like this, maternity pants will be a God send. I am so bloated and uncomfortable today, and these pants are actually kind of big on me. So excited for cute maternity clothes.

Not saying I wanted more, but I probably could have put away another 1/2 burger if my life depended on it. I didn't feel the slightest bit guilty either. I mean, if I devoured that huge burger and fries so easily, I am sure half a sandwhich and chicken noodle soup would have done nothing. I'm not even a big chicken noodle soup fan....
So yeah, hopefully this is a sign that I am getting back to a normal appetite. Ryan has to work both days this weekend, so maybe that means I can be productive and get to the gym both days. I have a hard time being productive when he is home, I don't know why. I think for dinner tomorrow, we need to go somewhere that has onion rings. It's the weirdest thing, since I got pregnant, onions smell sooooo good to me. I've always liked the flavor of onions, like if they're cooked in something, but never the actual onions and I always found the smell to be overpowering. But lately, yum. At lunch the other day a waitress walked by with a plate of onion rings and I wanted to follow her, so I'll have to see if they taste as good as they're smelling.
I went to the mall last night to get a new cell phone, and lookie what was right across the hall...a Motherhood Maternity store. I went in to browse for a few, the sales lady was really nice. I got such a good deal on my phone which is my Christmas present from my dad that I can afford to buy something else so I think I will get me some maternity pants this weekend. I am clearly not showing yet, but I need new black pants for work, and it doesn't make sense to buy regular ones, go to the trouble of hemming them and then do it all over again in a few months with maternity. Besides, days like this, maternity pants will be a God send. I am so bloated and uncomfortable today, and these pants are actually kind of big on me. So excited for cute maternity clothes.
