my insides are squirming around in an uncomfortable manner.

i went to Born Again Blessings at the civic center this weekend where they had a massive 2nd hand baby sale. i bought: a high chair, play mat, activity center (like a walker sorta), an electric swing, a diaper bag, a bath tub, a front baby carrier, a lamp, baby monitor, heartbeat monitor/speaker thingy, and a diaper pail. total cost $166. total savings $377.

lucas is still kicking up a storm. ive started doing kick counts monitoring where you check the time, count to ten kicks and record the time again. when i first wake up it can take 25 mins but at like 2am last night i got to ten in 2 mins. three times now he’s kicked me in way that was borderline hurting but usually it feels like the way it feels when you get an involuntary muscle twitch.

on my baby boards, 3 babies have been born so far

at my 26 week doc appt i passed my glucose test and got my rogham shot (for being Rh negative). aside from that all my other appointments are like a 10 min thing where they check weight, blood pressure, pee in a cup, donate a drop or a vial of blood, and then the doc checks the heartbeat and measures belly size. im going in every 2 weeks right now, but i think at some point next month i hafta start going in weekly (starting at 36 weeks maybe?)

Since you were asking about stuff going on, i figured i’d list my current stage of symptoms.

mostly im just uncomfortable most of the time. it feels like after youve eaten at melting pot and your stomach is heavy. it’s esp bad when im laying down – i dont like the exrta weight bearing down on me. i cant have the cats lie on me at all cause i cant handle the additional weight.

rolling over when laying in bed can be a real bitch. anything that involves using the abdominal muscles is difficult. it hurts if im in a sitting position and hafta pick something up off the floor (basically bending myself in half) but its not so much a problem if im standing.

for awhile i would wake up or have trouble falling asleep cause of leg pain. not like muscle cramp, just like the muscle really needed to be stretched out and midstretch would relieve it but once i stopped the stretch it would still hurt. that for the most part seems to be going away the past week or so.

i get winded walking up a flight of stairs and going from basement to bedroom sucks.

i still hafta burp like allll the time and i get hungry all the time. its weird cause i go from fine to starving really quickly without a lot of build up. i hafta eat about every two hours and i pee about every two hours. occasionally i get heartburn.

on the bright side, i have not gotten the following symptoms that can be common: constipation, hemorrhoids, or swelling.

How your baby’s growing:
Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his head is growing bigger to make room for his developing brain. To meet his increasing nutritional demands, you’ll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because his bones are soaking up lots of calcium, be sure to drink your milk (or find another good source of calcium, such as cheese, yogurt, or enriched orange juice). This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your baby’s hardening skeleton each day.

By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She’s also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.

lauren you asked what i do all the time? well today i shall chronolog my activities (if i can remember to)

11am – woke up, fed cats, got cereal

11-11:50 checked email, read baby boards, chatted with steph

11:50-5:30 read

5:30-5:40 talk to mom

5:40-5:50 shower/get ready

5:50 – 6:20 read

6:30 – 9:00 girl scouts

9:00 – 3am read

so in my effort to get this site working again, i sent an email to tech support for help. here is the answer i got:

guy #1: “The wordpress db should be still allright, try to create another WP installation, and hook it up to the same mysql db.”

me: “how do i do that?”

guy #2: “it means that you will need to create a new wordpress installation and try connecting that installation to the same database as the current wordpress.”

 

thank you sooo much for repeating what the first guy said and not telling me a damn thing.

My fabulous husband has fixed my website (because he is a coding genius) and now, after a year of darkness and silence, i can type random shit again. yayayayayay

 

wow i havent updated this site in nearly a year or something.

 

pasting the email i sent yall here until i finish getting this site changed a bit

so ive had an idea/ NY resolutionÂive decided that i want to do something once a week (or at least once a month) thats special/different/new to make that week cool so that the weeks dont just flow by blurred together. i could make a sortof club out of it. i dont want to end up like on PS I Love You where I’m always stressed and unhappy about my life and lost the magical spirit. i think ill try to keep the events posted on my site, ally-cat.com. so if anyone wants to add some fun to their lives, sign up!!
