Little Things

OB appointment today. Everything looked fine but it took the midwife a long time to find the heartbeat.

My next two appointments are a week and a half apart so that they can catch me at 36 weeks. I also have to do another growth ultrasound at 36 weeks - I almost asked if we could skip it because it didn't seem like it was helping anything (and she's in the 48th percentile), but then the midwife said that it's because of me being on the blood pressure meds that they want to keep checking on her. So I let it be.

I found my first stretch mark on Saturday, and another one appeared today.

Pretty sure I'm getting sick. It started last night during birth class, when my nose started running, and it felt like allergies but I woke up a lot at night with a stuffy nose and a sore throat, and now I feel like I'm slowly getting achier. I don't want to waste my PTO on being sick.

Our 13 year old kitty is very sick and Cory made The Appointment tomorrow at 3. When he told me, as I was in the middle of the last paragraph, I couldn't keep it together so I came home after all. It's going to be really hard to say goodbye.

    1. Thanks - it was pretty awful. She was a good kitty and had a long life with us but that just makes it harder to say goodbye.

  2. I'm so sorry about your kitty. I have a ten year old kitty myself and I know that day is coming sooner rather than later. :(

    Best wishes to your family.

    1. I remember thinking in the past few years, "this is going to be hard when she has to go." And it was. But I took that last day off to be with her, and just watching how broken she was helped me to not feel as guilty about our decision.
