>Hadley climbed into the bed with me this morning. Promptly put her hand down my shirt to make sure my boobs were still there and pulled out my nursing pad. Which was soaked. Need to be sure to monitor that one in public because that could be really embarrassing.
>nursing pad fun
>frustration
>It’s official… I’ve hit that third week frustration. I remember it well with Hadley… The tears. Threats to throw in the towel on nursing. Feelings of being a bad mommy. But I also remember things suddenly getting better, and I hope that is the same case.
>keep your comments to yourself
>The day before Easter I decided to get my act together and do a little Easter egg hunt in the backyard for Hadley. So my mom and I packed up the girls and headed to the San Clemente Walmart, where I don’t particularly like to shop, but the nearest target is 10 or so miles a way, so the Walmart had to do. Fortunately, it is a nice Walmart.
>and then there were four…
>clumsy, messy me
>Why is it that I am more clumsy and messy while pregnant?
>cornucopia
>A cornucopia of late pregnancy fun:
>preeclampsia scare subsided
>I think our preeclampsia scare has subsided some, even though I am on close watch by the doctors. Part of the problem has been that my midwife has been out of town for the last six weeks and I have had to see other doctors at the Women’s Clinic who revisit my history of preeclampsia, causing me to worry about having the condition again and my blood pressure rises.
>freaking out
>Recently, the doctors have taken special care with me as I have a history of mild preeclampsia with Hadley. I am 32 weeks, my blood pressure remaining in the normal range, except when I come into the office when it spikes the first read due to white coat syndrome. I normally see a midwife who understands this, but she has been out of the country for some time now and I’ve been forced to see other doctors, who are being extra cautious.
>baby in my belly (with some Austin Powers accent)
>She’s moving… A LOT!
