OBGYN Appointment #2
Today James and I went to my 2nd appointment! He said that my uterus has grown and everything looks great! We were hoping to hear the heartbeat, but that won't happen until the next appointment in a few weeks. He also said that I won't have my first ultrasound until somewhere between 14 to 20 weeks. It wasn't a particularly eventful appointment, but it was such a relief to hear that things are going well!
He did say, however, that he thinks I'm bloated (almost 80 ounces of water a day and tons of gas will do that!), but I still am noticing some changes in the way my pants fit and think that's my "pooch" is a mixture of both. I have gained 2 pounds in the last month, which isn't bad, especially if you figure a whole pound can probably be attributed to my growing boobs! And I could probably lose the rest with one good fart. LOL! Ok, so that was uncalled for, but I'm telling you, these hormones have made me much more bold! Think you can hang in there with me for the next 7 months??? Even if I talk about gas a lot? I hope at least I have made you smile! :-)

That must be really painful though, going around with all that gas and stuff! Eeek!

Posted by: stef at September 6, 2005 11:11 PMyou can talk about gas all you like hannah. :*) my best frined did a "pull my finger" joke on me once when she was pregnant. man she can go on with her farts alone. eheheheh
Posted by: feli at September 7, 2005 01:50 AMI love that you're joking about your gas :) I swelled up like a balloon the day after my c section - and my doc said that was quite normal, and the only way to get rid of all the gas was to fart like there was no tommorrow! Tell your hubby to get used to it! By day 4 after the c section I was back to normal again! Have you decided what kind of birthing option you're going for? I SO recommend c sections they're awesome, but I also hated people who tried to tell me what was best for them, so feel free to completely ignore my advice! Anyway, glad to hear the pregnancy is going well- I'll email you again soon.

Posted by: Allison at September 7, 2005 09:49 AMHeee heee. That post made me laugh. Thanks. The hubby and I talk about gas too. LOOL. The cartoon is cute! And sometimes it is painful for non pregnant people too.
Posted by: Ani at September 7, 2005 12:15 PMHannah, for some reason after becoming a mom, I'm SO much more outspoken and bold! I don't know why that is! Maybe hormones? Glad your second appointment went well. Just think ... next appointment, heartbeat! Oh, that was one of the highlights of my pregnancy. SO amazing. I cried.
Posted by: Lisanne at September 7, 2005 12:50 PMIsn't the gas amazing? Not in a good way, but amazing nonetheless.
