What a ride

Yesterday was a roller coaster. Good Bad Good Bad.......

Bad: It started with Carmen being sick so she didn't sleep good which means I didn't either.

Good: Then when Andria came to watch Carmen while I went to the Dr. she gave me a beautiful bracelet that says "A sister is a forever friend". I got all teary.

Good: Then I had a Dr. Appt that went GREAT! I do not have GD I did not gain any weight the last three weeks (YOOHOO) and my BP was really good 120/66. And I found out that at my next appt I will start having weekly NSTs to make sure I am not contracting. I love those. I get to sit in a comfy recliner ( I have been wanting to get one of those really ugly but ridiculously comfortable lazy boy recliners because I am getting pretty uncomfortable lately) and listen to Louis's heart beat for 30 mins. Can it get any better than that?

Bad: But then I had to get a shot. Those suck. It made my arm really tingley and they made me stay about 15 minutes later than I should have had to. I hate getting shots. I can always feel the chemical in my arm for hours.

Uncomfortable: Then I could only get Carmen to nap while I was holding her so I put her in the snugli and held her for about 3 hours. Its kind of hard to do it because it puts her right on my belly which is getting really big and the pressure hurts. And she kept waking up about every 20 minutes and she would start fussing and crying so I had to keep rocking her and jiggleing her. That was kind of good because I love holding her and watching her sleep. Shes so pretty.

Bad: Then I started having contractions. I don't think they were bad ones but it did keep going for about an hour and a half. And they were pretty close together. It freaked me out and I had to call Andria to calm me down. I did not want to go to the ER. But it finally stopped.

I am really tired because I am 7 months pregnant (today) and because I could not sleep good the last 2 nights because Carmen kept waking up crying. I have about 9 weeks to go. I am so excited! I keep going back and forth between being terrified about this huge change in life we are about to make and being so happy and excited I just want to cry. I am super emotional right now. I have been crying almost every day this week. I am doing alot better since I started taking zoloft. I can even deal with MIL better. Although she really pissed me off this weekend. I will save that for a MIL post later. I have to do some work now so Later.
