30 Hours

Work continues to be very time consuming for both Y and I and we are not making the progress need to get ready for the new arrival. To give you an example -- this weekend I worked for 30 hours, almost straight through with only a few hours of sleep in there. Nice, right? I think I may have a few more weekends like this one ahead of me too.

I saw the cardiologist last week and was finally given my walking papers. The doctor said, "I don't see any point in my continuing to scan a healthy heart." I was there already a while ago, but at least now we finally agree.

Today, I had a regular OB appointment. I had my glucose test this morning -- yummy. Results back on Wednesday. I asked the doctor what she thought about my working 30 hours straight and she wasn't thrilled about it but said it did not pose any risk to the baby as long as I continued to have no complications of any kind. If I start to have any trouble, she does not want me working those kinds of hours. At my last scan, the baby was in the 64th percentile, so the growth problems I had last pregnancy are not an issue so far and I have no other complaints at the moment.

I'm on a 2 week schedule now for regular OB appointments. I went to schedule my next appointment and was told my doctor was "booked" for that week and I would need to see another doctor. I said no and made them find me an appointment. It is a Friday appointment and I don't have childcare on Fridays, so I will need to take T with me, which could be interesting.

I'm still continuing to not really look very pregnant even through I'm 28 weeks now. People at work don't know I'm pregnant unless someone else tells them or they overhear me talking about it. I actually think I lost a little weight between this OB appointment and last, which is a bit odd for this stage in pregnancy. However, I have reached the point where I'm going to need to move into maternity pants full time -- that means venturing into the attic and actually finding my old maternity clothes, which could be a challenge.
