bump is the new black
happy 11.11.11! found out today that two people i know are pregnant. my lips are sealed - can't say who yet. ;) yay - more dragon babies! bump is def the new black. seems like everyone is pregnant these days. a lot of my friends are preggers (in the west coast). jessica simpson, beyonce and a slew of other celebs. there are 4 other pregos at work. everywhere i look, i see huge bellies, infants and toddlers. is it just because i'm pregnant that i notice them more? like when i was into cycling, i noticed all the cyclists? or when i was training for the marathon, i noticed all the runners?
we saw dr. dobrenis yesterday. i got a hi-5 for having good anatomy scans and mik got a handshake (so formal!). she said the top of my uterus is two inches above my belly button now. we listened to the baby's strong, fast heartbeat. we also heard a lot of static which meant he was moving around. i told her that i've been feeling the baby move... she said daddy won't feel it until 4 weeks after i felt it. i can't wait for mik to feel the baby! it's pretty awesome. i like knowing he's active in there. i told her that i'm still sleeping on my back and i was shocked when she told me i could keep sleeping that way. uh.. really? everyone tells me i need to start sleeping on my left side. she said that it's ok on my back since i don't have high blood pressure. this is the best news ever!!! i tried my body pillow the night i got it and it was the worst sleep i've ever had. i don't like sleeping on my side. i asked mik "what are we going to do with the body pillow now?" he said it's his favorite. haha. dr. dobrenis also signed my physique 57 form to allow me to keep taking classes there. she said my heart rate can be as high as 160-170 and i can workout til the end if i want to. another great news! when i'm in spin class, i never feel like i'm working that hard when trying to keep my heart rate at 140-150. she also said that i look cute and don't look pregnant from the back. i don't know how long that will be true. i gained 2 1/2 lbs last week alone!!!!!! ARGH!!!!! so i gave away my jars of candy at work. no more junk food. time to regain control of this body that i sometimes feel like isn't mine anymore.
i finally took pepcid ac today. been feeling like food is stuck at my throat. guess it's acid reflux (aka heartburn). it sucks. like constipation, acid reflux is not a pregnancy thing i enjoy. the dr said to eat small meals or take two bites then walk around. who eats like that?! maybe if i was 4 or 5 years old.... she said it's also ok for me to take metamucil once a day for fiber and use colace if i need stool softener. aaahhh too sexy!
meet dee dee the dragon. isn't she cute? we received it in the mail today (thanks joan!). it's dragon baby's first toy. how fitting that it's a dragon too. :) he's going to have a blast playing with it i'm sure.
