I'm here

It was back to work I went yesterday. Can I tell you how hard it was? I was quite enjoying my laziness during my break!

On New Year's Eve, I had my doctor's appointment. It was a rather quick one and they took blood for my quad-screen. Not that I'm worried about that really but it's another test and they always give me a bit of a nagging sensation. Have I mentioned the crazy dreams I have been having? I do tend to get some woozies during pregnancy, but this time around, I don't know if it's because my one friend had a surprise or if it's just a nagging thought, but I have been dreaming that I have twins in me. Now, twins do not really run in our families, but there is that chance of the non-genetic type of twins. I honestly do not think I have twins cooking, but it's enough to get me worried. So, this blood test has a chance of noticing that there could be multiples in there. Otherwise, I'll feel much better on the 24th when we go for the ultrasound!

But, at the doctors, I was given a compliment that I'm happy to hear but also hope I never hear it from anyone but the nurse. She said that I had beautiful urine. I mean, only during pregnancy can you be complimented on your pee! My blood pressure was great as usual and I haven't gained a pound yet. The not gaining would worry me a bit, but I can see my belly popping out, so I know that things are fine. I had a lot of extra to go around, so the baby is doing just fine.

New Year's night we went to a friend's house and partyied it up. It was our last night without Carter. My parents had gotten back in town earlier that day, but we didn't have time to stop by to see him. We picked him up the next morning and he didn't even want to come home!

He now has a cold and it's lasted for over a week. We have an appointment with the hematologist tomorrow, so I may try to get an appointment at his regular doctor afterwards for them to check him out. I just hope it hasn't turned into bronchitis again or something. He is my kid, afterall!

That's about it for now. Things are going smoothly. I'm not as tired, but that could be because during my break I got LOTS of sleep. The last two nights haven't been great and I don't know if it's because of the pregnancy or just because I knew I had to get up for work. Hopefully tonight we go better.
