A brief update
With some Smooth Move tea and 4 TBSP of Milk of Mag (two small doses) I think my troubles have taken a turn for the other direction.... Better though!

A new level of ouch....this includes TMI!!!! I need to let it out though....
So I have discovered a new level of pain with an impacted bowel. Because my stomach has been over acid for nearly a week, no matter what I eat, how much or when, the tums I was taking have quit really working on my acid tummy but instead have started working with my vomit medication to back up my system so bad its painful and scary. For the last three days its been.....(that bad but I am not going to share the finer details of what is happening with my rear) Other fun does involve food backing up to where I end up with acid in my throat as soon as I lay down (even if I don't eat a few hours before bed) and have been known to have to get up at 2am to vomit.
I called the Dr to day and am trying milk of mag. as well as some Soothe Move tea. If its not going by tomorrow I have to call the Dr again and we will go from there. I am in a new world of pain and this has been another addition that is making this pregnancy a lot harder than with Cora. I am going to guess it could be worse but this has been a tough one. Still sick, now backed up to a scary level and my rear end doesn't feel like it will ever be the same. At least the babys growth, my weight gain and the rest have been good but this other....I could do with out.
In other news...our new king bed got here today and its fantastic so far. I can't wait to sleep on it tonight. There is a lot more room and I can hardly feel when Trent tried a near belly flop. That will make getting out of bed when Cora is down easier. I am happy with it so far! A friend of ours is helping us build a king headboard bookcase (a simple one shelf thing) to attach to the bed. It will be pretty sweet having that and hand making it! And the wood is free! I plan to share some canned items and the like but its a really nice thing!
I have to paint now. Trent seems to want his BB team done for some reason. I guess he was getting mocked... he he!

Because if I don't....
A certain sister-in-law will strangle me :)
Had a good Dr appt today. Even with a wait in the office and a no-nap child. I have gained a half a pound again which puts total gain at 7lbs. I gained 10 with Cora but mostly in the last trimester. I am hoping to keep it low this time. BP 120/80 like last time.
The Dr. is really happy with my glucose test results. He didn't expect it to go as well as it did. With my blood sugars and BP I keep surprising him. He is a wonderful guy but sometimes I get the feeling he is waiting for me to gain 20lbs or explode or something :) We will be doing a non stress test down the line as we get closer. Those are old hat since I think I had 20 some odd test with Cora. (could be an exaggerated number, slightly, but it seemed like we were in there all the time)
So far the baby is already head down. The Dr could feel where she was at. She is sitting hard to the right and I had a braxton hicks contraction that allowed me to feel where she was more than I usually can. Its interesting to be able to put my hand on her back. Couldn't do that with Cora since she sat somewhere near my spine and I could never really tell where she was til near the end.
New baby is really active and I get to start kick counts again. Tonights were done in about 15 min. I get punched in the bladder a lot and kicked in the stomach...and there is three months to go! :)
I am having some rough lower spine pain. Its kind of in the hips but centered in my lower back. Its making standing up and walking a bit rough in the last few days. Other than that I am still vomiting but most of the time its just nausea in the AM and PM and just about any other time it feels like it in between. I figure that is ok to deal with since everything else seems to be going so well.
Next appt is in three weeks and then we move to every other week.
I think we may have settled on a name, as it has been the one we have both been agreeing on for a while now.... Liliana Abigale and using Lili for short. Trent came up with that one. I had suggested Lilija (a Scandinavian version) and he thought I had said Lilianna and when he came up with Abigale a while later it just seemed to work.
