TMI Factor: */5
From Monday's scan at FDC:
According to the sonographer and the doctor, everything looks good. JB is on target, growth and heartbeat wise, and as for the FOW, they aren't concerned. (Dr. H said to remain vigilant, though, so I am.) Been attentive to crampiness, spotting, etc. ... I try not to worry (honestly, I feel like an absolute champ, cool as a maternal cucumber, considering my worrisome nature and how freaked out I could be about every twinge). The doc said that once you see a good healthy heartbeat, the chance of miscarriage drops to about 5%. That sounded a little too good to be true considering how many stories I've read on BabyCenter, the Bump, etc., but 1) I did not go to med school, my awesome doctors didm and 2) my ONE JOB was to stay off the discussion boards. I am still working on that.
A whimsical tummy snap taken today (I got dressed, a once-a-week occurrence - I figured it warranted a pic):
I can't wait til the roundness is actually baby and not this lovely combo of gas and bloating and sheer fat from the less-than-stellar diet I've been keeping. (Still doing my best to eat fresh fruits and vegetables and lean protein at least once a day, but a lot of the queasy hours are filled with salt and vinegar potato chips, Eggo, and Sprite.) So far today I've eaten: toast with butter and jelly, part of a nectarine, a frozen dinner ("chicken parm"), chips, and a piece of the chocolate chip cookie bar I made this afternoon, which frankly is way disgusting because I used too many chocolate chips and also the salt didn't get mixed into the batter very well. I suck.
I was supposed to dry-run an apple pie recipe for "Thanksgiving dinner" to be held on Sunday with the fam. However, after I bought the ingredients, I stopped for gas and while I was filling up, I felt my blood sugar plummet (how it did at Dr. K's) so I drove home, ate the frozen dinner, and took a nap. There was no way I was baking a pie after that, so I settled for the chocolate chip mess. Oh well, maybe tomorrow I'll feel like pie.
