I am doing okay - I am still nervous and I check Colin's heartbeat on the doppler every single day - I also have to do kick counts - so far so good. I also have to go to the OB now every week - which is fine with me - I want to be closely watched. I really think it was just a matter of bad timing - I think babies do this all the time - pull on their cord - but it just happened that I was in the office when it happened and they have to take is seriously. I am trying to stay positive and hope for the best and that Colin will not come until January.
I am officially the heaviest I have ever been in my life - I really do not mind the extra weight because it means Colin is growing - I am just not use to carrying it around. Women make pregnancy look so easy and it is really not that easy - at least for me - I think I am getting to the stage now where I am not going to be happy pregnant women anymore. The worse thing is the indigestion - it is so bad - and nothing is helping. It gets so bad it gives me horrible headaches. I am lucky I have had no swelling yet but I do have back pain. It will all be worth it in the end - I would do anything and endure anything for my little man.
My SIL came over my house this weekend and shared some very strange and surprising news with me. We both did IVF at the same time - mine worked and hers did not work. I felt so bad. Apparently she has been really angry at me - I am not really sure I get it - I mean I get being sad and upset - but angry - It is not my fault her cycle did not work and it was her first IVF and our first IVF ended in miscarriage. As you all know my other SIL is pregnant as well - 3 weeks behind me - she got pregnant on her own. Well the SIL said she is happy for the other SIL that is pregnant and not happy for me - I thought to myself - why are you telling me this - to make me feel bad.

I think that's a really strange reaction, personally --- to be happy for one of you and not the other? Instead of being upset (which is totally natural, btw) about her reaction, maybe look at it differently. Maybe she was just trying to explain her feelings because she knows they're irrational, and she doesn't want them to be bottled up inside of her and randomly lash out at you when it's not your fault at all?
Anyway, glad to hear that the baby is doing well, and I hope everything else fades away so you can really cherish and enjoy your pregnancy :)
aw man! sorry about the indigestion. have you tried the exra strength tums. They've been pretty awesome for me and they are baby safe.
Can you talk to a doctor about the indigestion? I had awful acid reflux and would wake up throwing up in the middle of the night. Extra strength Tums worked for me with this most of the time. Just wait until your belly gets in the way of EVERYTHING you want to do. I remember trying to help students in class and I would bump other ones with my belly when I tried reaching over to help. As I sit here typing all of this and looking at Liam smiling, "talking" and giggling at me from his walker it makes every single bad thing about pregnancy so worth it!
