We’re getting married tomorrow-and would you believe the spotting is back?!?

AARGH!!!!!  I’m so frustrated I’ve got the beginnings of a migraine.  I was in the dressing room of Dress Barn yesterday afternoon trying to find a dress to wear to my own wedding.  I was coming from work, so I had brought along a pair of ‘power panties’ to change into while trying on dresses.  When I changed my underwear I couldn’t believe my eyes-the unmistakable faint brown spot was there again.  It was just a tiny bit, but needless to say I was NOT happy.

I called the OB office from the dressing room and spoke to Cindy Lee, who is by far the nicest, most compassionate nurse at the office.  She’s got a way about her that regardless of the situation, I feel better for talking to her.  I asked her if it was too much to hope for getting an rx for the flagyl again although I did tell her of course if I had to be seen I’d make room in my schedule for it.  Well, not only do I have to be seen, I’m having another sonogram this morning as well.  At least my appointment is at 8:30, so I don’t have to wait too long. I’ve only had a tiny bit more spotting, and there’s not been any pain except for a twinge near my right ovary yesterday. I’ve also not had a bowel movement yet since the spotting began.

On the wedding front, the rings came in the mail on Tuesday (We ordered matching titanium rings from ebay!!) and they’re amazing. Coz has his outfit, and I did find a very pretty dress at Fashion Bug yesterday. It’s a sleeveless empire waist dress with two layers, the top layer being rather sheer and white with pale turquoise and yellow stripes. It’s VERY pretty. My mom had asked me if I was going to wear a flower in my hair, and I think I may instead of trying to come up with something fancy. I’m going to stop at the florist after the doctor’s appointment to take a look at their lillies.

Jesse, my wonderful amazing son, helped me pick out the wedding dress. He feels gypped because we’re not doing a traditional ceremony with ring bears and flower girls and attendants and all that, although I think I’ll have him stand up with me during the ceremony. My mom has planned a small reception at her house afterwards, just immediate family. Meatballs and sausage on rolls, caesar salad, and hash brown casserole. Shaun and Erica (my brother and his fiance) are making a wedding cake. If I have the time I may pick up a cake knife/server and bead the handles. Coz doesn’t want anything sentimental per se, but I NEVER thought I’d get married again, let alone want to have someone’s baby, and there’s not really going to be anything in the way of souveniers and damnit, it’s still a wedding, MY wedding, and I want something tangible to remember it by.

I’m trying to get rid of this start to a migraine with extra strength tylenol (the most I can take) and caffiene; it worked once before but I had to have 5 cups of coffee. I’m on my 2nd and don’t want to have any more right now. *sigh* Time to leave for the sono, well at least I’ll have another picture of Junior for the scrapbook!

Early pregnancy, early changes

When I told Coz I was pregnant, after he said “congratulations” he said “I knew you were”. He said I’m glowing, and I wasn’t as bitchy (great, huh?). Well, the so-called glow is a wonderful sheen from all the grease and oil in my hair and on my face. Thank you hormones.

I’ve also not gotten a decent night’s sleep in about 3 weeks, or roughly since the second I conceived. Ok, maybe this is a bit of an exaggeration, since after it took me an hour to fall asleep last night I didn’t wake up at all during the night to pee.

My boobs are also about a full cup size larger (I think), and they’re sore as hell. It feels like I’ve got two large ticks on my chest and they’re ready to pop! What the hell am I going to do when the milk actually comes in after delivery?

I’ve not had any actual morning sickness although my taste in food has shifted to essentially anything with cheese. If this continues, this kid’s gonna be born with whiskers and a tail! I’m actually hoping for the morning sickness though. I never had it with my 1st pregnancy (I never had ANY of this) and I never was able to join in the “let’s talk about how our pregnancies went” chatter because everyone else did get sick, usually for months, and they don’t want to hear from me and how easy I had it.

So, that’s it for weird bodily functions and whatnot for now. I can’t wait to see what else happens!
