kissa_bites6 months pregnant and all is generally well. We're both fine and baby is very wiggly! We're due Nov 29.
I'm exhausted all the time, but that's pretty normal, I understand, so I'm spending a lot of time asleep. This one is going to be a sciatic baby, we're discovering. I'm only a little bitter about i when I am limping around, or sitting and feeling like I have needles being driven into my feet. I still have morning sickness, which is a total downer. The worst thing is brushing my teeth every morning! i've also found that not eating at 8, 10:30, 12ish, 3, 6 and sometimes 9 or 10. If I'm late... oh, bad things happen, from morning sickness to dizziness. I get chronic headaches, which dr is sympathetic about but just shakes a tylenol bottle. I hear it's normal.
Our little health challenge this month is that the placenta is a little too low. Next month's appointment will show if it's moved up where it should be. i'm still getting sonograms every month, which is comforting for me, but isn't normal. They're keeping a close eye on me. Below is the funniest sonogram picture I've ever seen. It's from last month. Baby is going to be a gymnast or a podiatrist as he's investigating his toes here.
Baby is a BOY! We went through a name crisis, agreeing on one name that I nixed three days later. Of course, Daddy REALLY loved it. Name trauma ensued until we finally settled on one we both really like - Cooper Danewolf Stone Smith. We're really counting on people not knowing what cooper smiths are anymore *grins*.
Emotionally, I'm pretty fragile and tend to "overreact" to emotional situations. In love, it's delightful... in tears.. ugh. I *know i'm being a hormonal bitch, but just can't stop it.
I really need to get on my sationary bike, but the motivation SO isn't there. It would really help with feeling better now and later, but eh.
Dane's still not working, which in Oregon is nothing of note. The girl is entering 7th grade and very blase' about it. We're moving her bedroom from her current place to our current office which will turn 12 year old girl purple. Dane's desk is moving to the laundry room, which will become the Domestic Man Cave.

Shucks... well, you're one of very few people who know what a cooper and a smith are, lol. I'm kind of okay with torturing my child with a painful name because I really like it, lol.

Date: 2010-08-15 09:46 pm (UTC)Danewolf is one of Dane's family names. It's Danuhwolf, so flows a tad better than Dane Wolf, lol. He's so excited we're using it since he uses it as screen name all over the place, lol.

Date: 2010-08-16 01:29 pm (UTC)*hugs you* Your pregnancy sounds like a miserable melding of both of mine, I'm sorry to hear it. I'm glad they're keeping a close eye on you both, and I hope things will be smooth sailing through Nov - I found the 3rd trimesters, apart from heartburn and having the crap beat out of me internally, were easier to manage in terms of the nausea, dizziness, and other hypoglycemic nastiness. I hope the sciatica can ease some--remember - while heat eases sore muscles, cold calms annoyed nerves. (I oft sat with a cold pack on my lower back when I had injured my back and herniated a disc onto my sciatic)
The weird emotional stuff is what really drove me nuts - certain commercials would send me weeping, with Emma, and with Colin my temper was 0 to 60 in 3-2-1...GO.
*more hugs for you*
Em is starting 7th grade this year. :)

Date: 2010-08-16 09:16 pm (UTC)Ice, heat. Got it! Cold packs, here I come. A dear friend reminded me that I *can poke my tummy and make him move, too. Morning sickness is so kicking my ass still. Even this morning, brushing my teeth, I had to stop for it and was 10 mins late to work.
Emotionally, I'm a powder keg. A hug can set me off. A dirty kid room... oh, it's not good. This pregnancy is physically worse than the first one, but emotionally better, I think, lol.

Date: 2010-08-16 09:18 pm (UTC)I think the placenta thing is common, too. For the first time, when annoying yet another issue, the Dr. sounded totally not concerned.
Thanks!
