So, so frelling tired.
Jan. 22nd, 2003 06:06 pmI don't even know why I'm posting. Hell, I don't even know why I'm still at work. I can't believe how tired I am. I blame the brownies. They kept me from my sleep!
I had my third prenatal appointment this morning. It went fine. I have gained two pounds since my last visit (although since they weigh me clothed, the numbers are suspect, but whatever). We heard the chickpea's heartbeat and it sounded very clear and strong. The midwife prodded my belly and said "yep, there's your uterus" and I was all "huh?" because I'm always trying to feel it and thinking I can't. It just goes to show that I don't have a clue what I'm supposed to be feeling for. I plan to try again tonight.
Then we talked about the AFP screening test for spina bifida, and I have to decide whether to get it done. I have two weeks to decide because it has to be done at the 16-week mark. It's not a complicated test, doesn't even require an appointment, just a blood draw, so I can just call and stop in. I guess I need some research on that. I know they gave me some literature on it, I just have to figure out where I put it. ;) I also have to decide whether I want an ultrasound at 18 weeks (four weeks from now).
Other than that all was fine and it was a fairly brief visit. The appointments don't take too long at this point; as long as you're growing normally and not having any issues, they just answer your random questions and send you on your way.
So now home and I absolutely must get to bed earlier tonight, or I won't survive the rest of the week (let alone our planned trip to Foxwoods on Saturday). I did actually watch "Buffy" last night, shockingly enough, and I might even have thoughts about it. Could happen. Never know.
So very, very tired. Wah.
