Today I had my 'almost 14 week' check up. We didn't do any blood/urine monitoring, but I know that my iron is still really low so I am going to start doing some OTC supplements to try to get it back up. I am definitely doing better on protein, but still not too well with the red meat.
One thing that was brought up today at my appointment is that fact that my uterus is already starting to 'tip out'. For some reason I don't carry my babies close to my body, they like to LEAN waaaaayyyyyy out over my pubic bone which is great unless you want to walk or sit or anything along those lines. Pendulous. So I need to start wearing my belly bra. The other belly bands are great if you have a 'normal' belly, but since mine will literally fold those bands in 1/2 they don't really do me a whole lot of good. She also mentioned the dreaded words - Bed Rest. If it gets to bad it is something we will have to think about as I get further along. For now, just rest while I can (I have to rest after nearly everything I do, so this shouldn't be too big of a problem!).
This last week I have been spoiled by some wonderful women in my life who have taken time out of their busy schedule and contributed to making my house just a bit cleaner. I had three special 'cleaning fairies' that came and worked on my house! Soooo nice to come home from our little camp trip to have my floors mopped & vacuumed, my laundry caught up and my bathrooms cleaned up.
Here is to starting to feel 'normal' again - where I can be my happy, joyful self and start driving people nuts again!!! :)
