I am in a good mood even though I have (surprise, surprise) packing to do...

No wonder he likes Spiderman so much!

BTW, saw Spiderman last night
GDB treated us to a night out and a 10:30 p.m. showing...
I really enjoyed it, thought some of the effects could have been better (some seemed somewhat unfinished) but all in all, I really enjoyed it although lil one kicked me like crazy through most of it...
going to sammygirl's for some gardening and sunshine

Current mood: in pain
what a day! i wonder if i ought to call a lawyer?
Well, my arm is in one of those sturdy things to protect it as i had a nasty fall today...
don't worry, lil one seems to be fine...
i had to get an oil lube and filter today and i also got a new air filter... but they were out of stock so they sent me to their other location in Kitchener and i walked in and there was soapy water spreading down from their doorstep (i think they emptied a mop bucket or something) and there was no sign warning about the wet area but i walked inside and the guy motioned for me to follow him through the garage and out the bay doors to my car, I proceeded to do so and I fell right on the painted concrete in the garage.
Even though I obviously fell very fast, I had the foresight to turn to make sure I landed on my side rather than my tummy and took most of the fall on my left hand.
The guy asked me if I was OK and I said I thought I was, since I didn't land on my tummy. He told me that his wife had fallen down the stairs 2 wks before their child was born and there'd been no prob.., so I proceeded to my car with him and he aksed me again if i was OK and I said that I thought so.
He put the filter in my car and my hand was starting to hurt and he asked again and I said my hand was starting to bother me and I left.
I drove the 4 mins down the street to the urgent care clinic and waited. I saw a DR after being there for about 45 mins. He examined my hand (i had to remove my watch because my wrist was swollen) and said that since i was pregnant that they could not X-ray to see if my hand was broken or not so he told me to ice it and then get one of these pre-formed wrist tensors to protect my hand if it is/was broken and that it would also be useful in the case of a strain or a sprain.
He also said that if I had any abdominal pain, bleeding, abnormal discharge or if the baby wasn't moving, to go to hospital for a stress test on the baby.
I ahven't had any probs with lil one *knocks wood* and S-N-J and I spent HOURS today driving around town to find one of these fucking thigns for my wrist in my goddamn size (small)
So i have a nice goose egg on my left hand near the base of my thumb and a icky purple mark and am in pain...
that was my day...
Thanks to sammygirl-N-J for taking care of me though :>:>:>

Home from the OBGYN
He thinks all the movement last wk indicate that the baby has changed position from sideways to head down. Since the baby has been quiet the past few days, I am partially inclined to agree, however, then why is almost all of the "hard" internal poking happening below my belly button???
I ahve to have the Rh shot since I am A negative and Jay is O positive... I am nervous about that...
It seems nice outside, I think I am going to eat and then take a walk.

my 2nd OBGYN appt is today (TMI in the morning)
In an hour, actually...
so I am awake and had to pee in the container first thing this morning.
Is it just me, or is it difficult to pee into those things, especially while pregnant when you can't see past your own stomach???
BTW, it's official, my baby belly sticks out farther than my breasts do now...

Current mood: sore
Ow ow ow
I must have slept funny because my neck and the right side of my back is KILLING me... it was painful to drive DS to work. This sucks :(
In other news, we had 2 delicious Easter dinners so far this weekend and are having one more tonight.
The baby has been so much more active lately that it's been really neat :>:>:> DS hasn't been able to feel the baby moving yet, although sammygirl did yesterday :>

Current mood: ecstatic
Current music: Ween - Daisies
Went to the OB/GYN today
We got to hear the heartbeat for the first time... we've seen the heartbeat during both ultrasounds but had never heard it before.
WOW!!! It was SO fucking cool!!!!!
Now they think my EDD may actually be July 14th... But I still maintain that the 18th will be the big day...
They confirmed that my DR is a dumb-ass. When I first got pregnant, I informed my DR that I was Rh A negative and that I did not KNOW what my hubby's blood type was and I asked her if we should get him blood-typed. She said no.
Today, after I pick up DS from work... we are going to the clinic to get him blood-typed because if he's negative too, then I don't need any of those shots... :>:>:> so let's hope he's negative *crosses fingers*
Also, my asshole DR did not fwd any of my test results to the OB/GYN so they had to get all my info faxed over while I was there this morning *grr*
So DS and I were there for an hour and a half.
After that, I took DS to work... then stopped off at my grandparents place and had a chat with them and had some of Grandpa's homemade pasta fazui (spelling?) which was YUMMY! I brought home some leftovers :>:>:>
Got tons of info from the OB/GYN to read though so I think I am going to get started on that...

Current mood: angry
Current music: Delerium - A Poem For Byzantium
hormonal pregnant woman rant!!!!!!!!!!
What the fuck is up with clothes????????
If I had tons of $$$ I could get some cute items at a maternity store but, being poor, I have to be price-conscious and unfortunately combining LOW-PRICES with MATERNITY or PLUS-SIZES = ugly fucking clothes!
It is so damn difficult to get something comfy and attractive that will fit me right now and that's completely not fair.
To all stores everywhere STOP CATERING TO WAIFS!!!!!!!!!
I am sickened and disgusted by this!!!!!!!
PLUS a cunty saleslady told me that "you'd blow out the seams in that" when I asked to try on a dress marked XL. THe saleslady was pissy because I didn't want to buy a skirt because I am not finding skirts really comfy these days and I really just want dresses to wear during my pregnancy.
ARRGH!

Current mood: accomplished
DR's office just called me
Apparently the day I had my ultrasound I was 15 wks and 4 days so my NEW esitmated due date is July the 12th.
That will make Grandma happy because she is convinced that it will be on July 11th (her BDAY) but I still feel that it will be the 18th for some reason.

Today we had a big scare re: the baby (but it's alive)
*sighs* it was a long, scary, stressful day
It all started around 8 a.m. I had two really sharp pains in my lower left abdomen. Like being punched 2x but the person had a sharp, pointed object in their fist when they did it.
It frightened me. After that, it just throbbed. But I wasn't bleeding or anything like that so I didn't tell DS and we proceeded to take him to work... but I kept feeling worse in the car.
I wasn't planning on telling DS because I didn't want to worry him unnecessarily. My plan was to get him to work and then I was going to call sammygirl and D. and get them to either meet me at the shop and take me to the hospital or meet me at the hospital but DS noticed that there was something wrong.
He asked and I started crying and we immediately headed to the hospital.
We were both pretty scared because, although I've been sick as a dog all the way thru my pregnancy thus far... I haven't had anything like that happen before.
Got to the hospital. Was seen. Pain lessened although I still feel kind of tender all over my abdomen, and quite a bit so where that pain struck me today.
The DR was very nice and calming. He sent in a tech with the Doppler device to pick up the heartbeat to reassure me.
The tech couldn't find the heartbeat. He tried for about 20 mins. All he could pick up on was mine. I started crying. (at this point, I'd sent DS to call sammy and d. sammy came to the hospital)
The DR then brought another Doppler and he tried for about 20 mins to find the heartbeat of the baby and couldn't find it either.
I was in despair. I know that all things happen for a reason but I could see no reason in this... I can't recall ever being so scared and afraid.
The DR tried to reassure me, saying that while using it, did I notice that he didn't even always pick up MY heartbeat and that sometimes it's more difficult to pick up depending on the position of the baby and the amount of weight in that area of the mother.
He suggested that I up the appointment date of my ultrasound if I wanted more reassurance (since they couldn't do one at the hospital because it was all booked and because I was having no bleeding and the pain had lessened considerably).
Sammy and DS waited outside while I got dressed and then we all went back to her place where she and her J cheered us up, offered us moral support and really just were wonderful in helping calm me down.
I got my ultrasound squeezed in at the end of the lab tech's day so I had to drink a TON of water (I vomited at the lab... too full) for my ultrasound.
She did an abdominal/external one first. And had a hard time finding the baby and I was crying because I was so scared and DS wasn't allowed in there with me until after she got the info she needed.
She finally found the baby (just one) and assured me that it was alive and turned the screen and indicated the presence of it's beating heart.
I was very happy and relieved.
Then she had me empty my bladder and she did a trans-vaginal ultrasound to try to get the measurements and data that she needed.
Then she did the external one again and then brought Jay in and pointed out the baby and she printed the ultrasound picture for us.
But she wouldn't answer any of my other questions and told me to talk to my DR on Friday about my results so I am still worried.
My theory is that my DR miscalculated the gestational age of my baby.. but I am unsure why the tech was so closed mouth to me.
My ultrasound pic says GA (LMP)=15w1d P90 but I am unsure if that's what they discovered or if they just entered in what my DR believes the GA to be.
The only other thing it says is CN0 14cm DR60 G 48
but I don't know what any of that means.
So I guess I'll have a better idea of what's going on on Friday...
So I am exhausted (even though I had a 3 hr nap when we got home) and will likely be going to bed soon.
I am thankful that things turned out OK today and am praying that there will be no bad or unexpected news re: this on Friday.
Goodnight.
