- We've decided on a name. Everyone seems to like it.
- I am not freaked out about labor and delivery like I was last week.
- My glucose test came back good, so there's no concern I have gestational diabetes.
- Blood pressure good, swelling under control, migraines have abated, no signs of preeclampsia.
- I'm anemic. I'm taking daily iron supplements.
- I'm having severe reflux. I'm taking the maximum OTC dosage of Zantac for that.
- I'm sleeping badly. I think the slug is awake in the middle of the night, kicking and waking me up.
- I'm finding it harder to breathe. My immunologist says, 'that's asthma for you. Call me if you start to feel like the inhaler's not doing enough for you.'
- I'm having mild back pain. Occasional Tylenol's taking care of that.
In all truthfulness, I'm just putting one foot in front of the other each day and trying to get through each day. I told my doctor last week that I feel like I'm in my last weeks of pregnancy, rather than my last months. I know women often get to the stage that they wish the pregnancy was over already, but it's usually not this early and it's usually not in a situation where there are no serious problems.
Oh, hey, I bought a bathing suit. My husband thought that with all back pain and depression and anemic fatigue and such, I would probably enjoy getting out of the house and going to the pool. The advice I read about maternity swimwear is don't buy black. 'Cause what's the point, you're trying to look slim? Please. And, um, did I mention that my husband is Brazilian and has an opinion or two about swimwear?
So here's a picture of the swimsuit I bought:
He says it's daring. I like that.

That is awfully cute! And that is a great idea to get out in the pool. Nice and relaxing!
what a great bathing suit. To heck with black. Glad to hear you are doing well. Hope the asthma stays away! When I switched to a custom domain you fell off my blogroll and I didn't visit (but I knew something was missing and figured it out). Stay cool and I hope this time goes by fast for you!
That's a great suit. I thought you were going to say that your husband wanted you to wear a bikini.
I never needed a maternity suit. I had Spring babies.
Love the bathing suit, and the idea! When I was prego, the only thing that saved me in the last weeks was floating around at the pool every day. I still remember the immense relief and enjoyment of the weightlessness! Have fun:)
