I need to update this blog more often…
I’ve been loving spaghetti lately! In fact, I might buy more tonight to cook tomorrow. YUM. So, Katie on her first week long “fall break” and I’m hoping to get her into the dentist this week since she has 2 tiny tiny cavities that need to be taken care of- but they reassured us when she had her teeth cleaned recently that we had been doing great with keeping them clean but the back molars can still get cavities regardless. Katie is not looking forward to it haha. We are gonna have a cool front Thursday and Friday!!!!!!! WHEE. I will be so happy when I don’t have to turn on the A/C at all anymore and just keep my windows open. Last week taking Katie to the bus stop in the morning I could smell dead leaves! Summer is my favorite but it is nice to see the fall colors, cooler temps, smell the various fall related smells, and I’m hoping we can go to a fall type festival maybe in mid-October! I am gonna miss the extra daylight tho a LOT… =( Do NOT like it when it gets dark at like 5:30-6pm and then dreaded winter. UGH. Cold, rainy, gloomy.. bleh.
I started to feel little baby flutters into my 16th week, a little more in the 17th, and just today at 18w1d I felt 2 tiny kicks!!!! I almost cried because it’s so sweet. Next Tuesday is our big 75 minute ultrasound!! SO EXCITED. Last Thursday I had my baby checkup and got my first Makena shot, which I didn’t even feel! Another one this Thursday plus a copay. Same for the next Thursday after that. Well, I’ll have them every Thursday but some don’t require copays (thank goodness) but still a lot of money added up, even with insurance.
I think I may be getting Group B infection again because Sunday night I went to bed and could not get to sleep and my heart rate was up then my legs started to ACHEEEEE really badly. I didn’t recognize it then but I think I had a fever that started earlier that evening. I could NOT SLEEP Sunday night. I tossed and turned, felt my heart racing, legs aching… laid there for 2 hours and drifted to sleep maybe twice for a short time. Finally, I got up at 4AM and felt terrible. So terrible. Oh, and that night I had to pee like 3 different times, which I usually don’t. I laid on the couch and drifted in/out sleep then finally got up at 6:30AM to take my thyroid meds and wake Brad for work. I felt nauseous pretty badly too. Brad eventually left for work and I tried to eat breakfast but my appetite was a lot less and I felt soo sick that if I ate another bite I was gonna puke. I finally took my temp a bit later and it was 99.2 and then I realized it might be the infection again. I took Tylenol at lunch and wow, it made such a difference! I also think with my gut/digestion not being the best also ups the risk of me getting the infection again but going to the bathroom seemed to help too. It was so weird because I started to feel a bit better and my fever went up a few more points later but then by that evening my temp was normal and I felt decent again. I was able to sleep last night and back to usual today so I’ll have them check me for it when I go for the Makena shot Thursday. I do not want that infection back!
Just waiting for next Tuesday’s ultrasound to be 100% on gender then going to celebrate by buying a few things! <3 Also, random note- If you’re looking to watch an awesome new show that’s similar to Parenthood then check out NBC’s This is Us. I love it so much already!!! Brad and I sat down and watched the 1st Presidential Debate last night… oh, what a segment. Poor Lester, LOL. TBH, I don’t care for either candidate so mehhhh. I think I would rather have Trump than Hillary because of the various bad involvements I’ve heard about with Hillary. Not that Trump doesn’t have his drawbacks either. Again, MEH. Enjoy the rest of your week! <3
