well, it's been a little while. ugh. i'm huge. i swear! and i still have three months to go. and, you're not going to believe this: i'm hot. yes. although the temperature hasn't risen that much, it's as though my body has suddenly realized, 'hey, i'm pregnant. it's hot! let's be uncomfortable.' *sigh* after all that bitchin' about the cold. but don't worry...and my abdomen aches. uterine stretching i think. *sigh* not very comfortable at the moment. my mom said she got me some shorts, so i'm waiting for those.
today i had an appointment at the clinic. everything went well. except for hiroyuki. he cried and cried again today. he also woke up early, the little stinker. so, i had him when i had my blood pressure taken. very normal, even the doctor commented on it (and no one said anything about the few hundred grams i gained; all in all, a good appointment just for that.) they drew blood, though, never fun. small veins and all. plus i was holding hiro and i had a moment's panic when i thought he'd fight to get down during the actual draw. no problem, though, except the wound bled a lot. and now i have a bruise.
next appointment is in two weeks, and i have to go in a half an hour early for a non-stress test. seems awfully early to me, and i need to check my notebook, but i think it's because i mentioned my achy belly to the doctor and he wants to monitor the contractions (if any). so, i scheduled the next appointment for saturday instead of friday, so that yoshi can come with, or at least stay at home with hiro. i hope he doesn't have to work!

oh, sweety. just hang in there. the last bit drags some, doesn`t it. Is the stress test when you sit in the "encapsulated" lounge chair and listen to classical music while they measure fetal heartbeat???? That was a nice hunk of relaxation time!!!!!!
Jan. do I have your e-mail address. ?? do you have mine????? I feel like we have "lost touch " lately...
ahh ya I remember those days. Hugs girl!
Does Hiro go to day care yet? You sound like you need an afternoon holiday everyonce and a while.
I hope Yoshi won't have to work during your next doctor's appointment either! Crossing my fingers for you from Chiba! Hopefully he can come to the appointment with ya or like you said, at least he can keep Hiro at home.
I really feel for you so much. Because, I remember what it was like when I went through this last year. And I had an older son (Branden) who I was taking to my appointments with me all the time too. It really was hard! Most of the time Branden behaved very well. But there were times when he was cranky and it was really tough on me!
If it helps to know, you got people on your side cheering you on. Me for one. I'm pulling for you! : )
I think your mom sending you some shorts is perfect! Because sometimes care packages from home are just what we need! They can lift the spirits or make someone realize, hey someone's thinking of me! Sorry to sound all nerdy, but I hope you know what I mean! : )
