Speaking of the baby bump- Hayden is growing and getting stronger and stronger and Colby was finally able to feel her kick again on Christmas Eve. I told him that was her way of saying Merry Christmas Dad!
A little bit of discouraging information though- while taking care of one of my patients tonight his sweet little wife asked me when I was due. I am now getting used to everyone's startled reactions when I tell them, "Oh, not till the middle of April!" Needless to say, this sweet little lady had the exact same reaction that I have now become accustomed to- however, she tacked on, "Oh my dear, you still have a while-are you having twins?" Yes I know that my abdominal region looks as if I am about to explode; but, I do still have 3 1/2 months left to go!!!
I thought this cartoon was pretty funny because sometimes you just wanna blurt out that you just plain aren't feeling 
good while you're pregnant but in order to make the conversation go faster and to avoid sounding like a whiner- you just simply say everything is going good!!!
good while you're pregnant but in order to make the conversation go faster and to avoid sounding like a whiner- you just simply say everything is going good!!!So here is my vent- I started the whole throwing up thing again after a five week break (thank goodness for that!) Every day when I get off work I want to cry because my back feels like it is breaking. Then, I can't peel myself off the couch for two days because I'm tired (and lazy). I have been wearing ted hose to- hopefully- help prevent the varicose veins but they annoy the heck out of me!!! Sleeping has become next to impossible. Bladder control is steadily declining. Stretch marks have appeared where I least expected them to (none yet on the belly, I stress yet, they will come). And last but not least- my poor husband gets to deal with my emotions. I think, for the most part, I have been emotionally somewhat stable however, I had a minor breakdown on Christmas Eve and my sister's rodeo horse had to be put down becau
se of a broken shoulder and even though I didn't know this horse very well- I had a minor breakdown over that!
se of a broken shoulder and even though I didn't know this horse very well- I had a minor breakdown over that! But there is a light at the end of the tunnel- 3 1/2 months and she's here! And to help me get to the finish line- Colby, very thoughtfully, bought me a pregnancy massage gift certificate! Wahoo! I'm so excited!! But I think I'm going to wait till I'm farther along and in more pain to take advantage of it!!
I promise that I do have a camera- I just forget to take it out of it's case except for on very rare occaisions- I hope that once our little one is here, I'll become a better historian, photographer, crafter, cook and everything else that it takes to be a mom!! I do admit that I am scared to death- but here we go!
Yay for 2010 and all the exciting and challenging things that come my way!

Well I can say that I completely understand on almost all that you said except the puking part. I somehow managed to not throw up once this time around but I did feel like it in the first trimester. I also get the shocked look when I tell them my due date. Which is May 9th so I still have 4 months to go. Maybe they all just forgot how big a pregnant women is at 9 months. There is a light at the end of the tunnel just hang in there! I am so uncomfortable at night as well and I struggle to breath all the time but it is worth it and you will be a good mommy! Good luck with everything! P.S. I'm very jealous you get a massage! Maybe that's what I will ask for my birthday!
Hi Megan! This is Briar. I'm not really sure how I found you but I'm glad I did! Congrats on your pregnancy and being done with school!! Email me briardoman@hotmail.com. I'd love to hear from you.
Ah you are so cute Megan. It will go by so fast I promise and you will forget all the horrible things you have to go through to get that precious baby here! MIss ya!
I love pregnant rants! I am the queen of emotional roller coasters. Seriously, I had so many people ask me if I was having twins and 5 of my ex-boyfriends said something containing the words "huge" and "fat", HELLO PEOPLE! Have some class! My biggest pet peeve is when people say something like "you haven't popped yet?" I'm a woman, not a balloon thanks. I learned to just turn and walk away without a comment right in the middle of their awful comments. I'm sure you're beautiful as always. Come visit us sometime, hope to see your pregnant self sometime.
