Oh. Look. More abnormal test results, completely unrelated to the others. Delightful.

Apparently two specialists wasn't enough. I will now be seeing a perinatal specialist, a neurologist, and an endocrinologist on a regular basis for the next 7 months, in addition to my standard OB visits.

I did an end-run on my OB though. He didn't feel qualified to minutely interpret the endocrinology lab results, so he insisted I go to a general practioner first, who would then tell me if I needed to be referred to an endocrinologist. Fuck that shit, dude, I'm not made of copays and free time. An endocrinologist is perfectly capable of telling me himself if things are mostly fine and just require monitoring.

So today will be appointment number three this week, plus another three already scheduled for next week. I swear to God, no one better try to put me on bedrest. That shit just can't happen.

FUCKING BUGS!!!!

Well, I dont know if they are sexually active, but they are driving me nuts...wiggling inside however they do.

Crawling all over my puter screen.

Oh...and apparently, one shouldnt run over matchbox cars with the lawn mower, the little bastards take revenge and fly up and leave a hole in your chin....and your shin.

DanaC · 10-21-2007, 06:45 AM

Ewww! I hate creppy crawlies .....Ducks...that's bad karma running over a matchbox car....did you not consider the terrible effects your callous actions might have upon the lives of innocent matchbox drivers?

Seriously though, bad luck on the chin-shin thing. Hope they ain't too bady gashed

The thing that's upsetting me today (I seem to be spending an inordinate amount of time in this thread just lately...) is that my eczema has flared up, on my face this time. I have the low level constant eczema on arms and legs and so on, but this is one of those sudden, really fucking itchy, swollen red face jobs.

DucksNuts · 10-21-2007, 07:11 AM

Stress related Dana?

DanaC · 10-21-2007, 11:14 AM

*nods*yup. Emotional (as opposed to busy) stress tends to flare it up.

Things have settled down. All subsequent testing has come back normal, or at least abnormal in ways it was already expected to be, so we're just in the old standby mode of "watchful waiting." I've had to officially break out the big pants. But I get to find out the gender in another four weeks!

DucksNuts · 10-21-2007, 07:53 PM

Yeah, sorry, I didnt know bub didnt translate.

Are you an *all belly* type pregnant person, or does it go on everywhere?

Glad to hear things have settled.

Clodfobble · 10-21-2007, 09:55 PM

Yes, I'm generally really good about weight gain--actually, last time they were worried toward the end because they thought I hadn't gained enough, but baby measurements were all good, I just had "thin skin," apparently.

Which means the big pants are still too big by a long shot, but the normal ones are out so I have no choice.

...but to wear no pants?

Clodfobble · 10-21-2007, 10:08 PM

Nah, just wear the big saggy ones and repeatedly hitch them up all day long.

zippyt · 10-21-2007, 10:23 PM

SteveDallas · 10-21-2007, 11:03 PM

How bout a tent dress? I understand they're popular...

DucksNuts · 10-21-2007, 11:28 PM

Pinafore's are very popular and great for pregnancy.

Ibby · 10-22-2007, 07:31 AM

i'm deathly ill.
I either have a chemical burn on an acid reflux hole burnt in my esophagus. It hurts like you could not imagine. And fucking Taiwanese drug laws wont let me have anything other than like, a little bit of codeine for it. Not even the good stuff, and not enough of it.
Endoscopy tomorrow to check it out, and hopefully start actually fixing it.
