The alarm went off at 6:45 this morning, signaling that it was time for me to get ready to go. I slowly sat up in bed, urging James to awaken, feeling overwhelmed and under-prepared for the morning ahead of me. We readied ourselves and drove to the Emergency Room. The guy that checked me in […]
I have just returned home and settled down enough to update. The sonogram showed an empty sac. The doctor is pretty positive that I am miscarrying. Since nothing is showing up, including a heartbeat, it would appear that the baby has already been re-absorbed (great mental image huh) and this has been in the works […]
So I’m officially 10 weeks and almost 5 days pregnant. That means: – My first trimester is almost over – The baby’s probably around 1 1/2 inches long – The sex of the baby is probably already determined and developed, though we might not be able to see it on ultrasound for a while yet. […]
So I’ve always been a Payless Shoe girl. Or Kohls, they have good deals. I don’t recall ever buying a pair of shoes that had insoles separate from the shoes themselves. Nor do I remember buying shoes that had quite a bit of wiggle room in the toe area. I’ve always tried to find the […]
When we first moved to Fairbanks (or when James brought me here, it could be said) we went to a restaurant called Soapy Smith’s downtown. Their Alaskan atmosphere and awesome Clam Chowder are the second and third on my list of reasons to go there… We went in and ordered our lunch and of course, […]
So, contrary to popular believe, it is normal for most women to lose weight in their first trimester. This has worked out to my benefit because although my stomach is plumping a bit and I’ve bloated enough to make me feel quite pregnant, I continue to lose weight and doc pretty much aoks my eating […]
That’s what I sounded like this morning… a dinosaur burping. I think the flu has finally passed. Those who know me will not be suprised to know I went to a gun show and outdoor show and dog park Saturday, consuming a cheese dog, nachos, peanut butter fudge and lanjaegers. This is all, of course, […]
One of James’ aunts has been fighting cancer and undergoing chemotherapy for a while now. She had a large tumor in her breast and the cancer had also spread to her bones and lungs. It looks like the chemo is working. The big tumor has gone from two inches down to 1/2 inch and the […]
So today I felt much better than yesterday. I had a salad and cheeseburger for lunch and tonite I baked some tilapia and tater tots. James made rissoto, but I didn’t like it because for some reason onions are repulsive to me right now. I was craving cheese and ate more than my share of […]
So, I had reflux and gas pains and needing to pee constantly all night long. (I guess creamed chip beef for dinner was a bad idea). I tried eating yogurt for breakfast – usually calms it down – didn’t work. Lots of rumbly in my tumbly today. I have to leave for work in about […]
