Where is this coming from...

Picking up Bug from school today, and his teacher walks him to the car, rather than one of the other teachers who normally runs the pick up and drop offs.  This is either a good thing or a bad thing.  Usually it's a good thing.  Not so much today.  Bug bit one of his classmates.  WHAT?!?!  When I asked him about it, he said that the other child wouldn't share the new toy cars, so he bit him.  I am just at such a loss.  We haven't had any issues with Bug biting in over two years.  I don't know if it is because Buddy has started to get into some bad licking/biting habits, or if it's because Max (great brainless wonder of a dog) plays kind of rough sometimes and nips or what.  I just don't get it.  Talked to Hubby about it, and we are still deciding what is an appropriate punishment, because biting is never ok.  I just don't know why all of a sudden he would act out like that.

On a different note, I had my blood drawn yesterday by the best phlebotomist ever.  Normally my veins are really difficult to stick and I am deathly afraid of needles.  But I didn't even feel the stick yesterday.  From now on, any time I am going to have to have a needle poke, I want her to do it.  Today I hit 29 weeks, and I am getting very tired of contractions.  I told Dr. C about it yesterday, and he said as long as they go away within an hour or so, not to worry about it.  If they go on for three hours, I need to make a phone call to L&D.  It might be because baby girl is quite active and she is just irritating my uterus (and me in general when they happen), but as long as they stop and I don't start bleeding or leaking fluid, it's fine.  Joy.  But I am measuring about a week and a half behind schedule.  I can't help wondering if it isn't because of my inverted "T" scar.  Because I obviously didn't have a problem getting massive with Buddy.  I got to the size of someone carring twins.  I'm happy to stay small, but I hope she is growing well.

Ugh...

16 weeks

I am so tired.  And tired of having to pee, and back aches, and hip pain, and eye strain head aches, and not being able to brush my teeth without puking, and round ligament pain, and heartburn, and looking fatter than I should, and weird cravings, and weird aversions, and my deoderant not working, and the new mustache (eww).  And there are still five more months and its going to get worse.  But, I am grateful to be pregnant.  I am grateful to feel the little nudges and rolls.  And the silly things my children say about babies in bellies.  And an amazing doctor. (see http://abovebeyondbirth.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-amazing-dr-cummings-and-his-wisdom.html?m=1 for more info.)  My dream would have been a homebirth.  But the midwife group said they would be more comfortable if I delivered in a hospital.  But, I did finally find a doctor who wasn't going to insist on bedrest at 36 weeks and a c-section at 38 weeks.  Now, I just need to facelift my house before school is out and it's too hot to want to deal with it.
