33 weeks

Doctors appointment today.  I am def getting to be a cranky bitch.  Everyone and everything seems to annoy me (to be fair I'm not talking about people I know, but rather random strangers and things/people on tv).  This couple at the doctors today made me want to slap them within 5 minutes of them walking in the room.  I feel like the most ungrateful, awful person for even going on about this, but their cigarette/cheap perfume smell almost made me throw up.  Of course they sat very close to me despite the fact that I was huddled in the farthest corner for not wanting to infect anyone else with my cold (and so I could pull a chair over and put my feet up).  Although I think I was already confused by the amount of people wearing leggings.  My FB status updates went like this:

There are a lot of women at the ob office wearing leggings. I wouldn't wear leggings at home if you paid me much less prego in public.


Jenn McArtor Of course the 8 lbs I've gained since my last appt may also have something to do with that cause trust me when I say no one wants to see what I'm rocking in leggings.

8 hours ago ·Jenn McArtor -Another couple just came in and have immediately annoyed me. They have that weird cigarette smoke/cheap perfume smell and are playing some kind of phone game that consists of the woman giving the man the answers. FYI even with the 2 of them playing they still lost.

8 hours ago ·Jenn McArtor- Seriously the cigarette/perfume thing is gonna make me throw up.

8 hours ago ·.Jenn McArtor- Omg he just knocked a magazine out of her hands and she called him a f**king a**hole. Seriously? Seriously? He seems to have the maturity of a 5 year old. I hope they're here to get some meds for an STD and not because she's pregnant.

8 hours ago ·Jenn McArtor- Ugh I'm awful.
 
Seriously I am OUT OF CONTROL with my snarkiness!  Is snarky just a nicer way of saying judgmental?
But the way the guy was acting...I just wanted to shake him and say what is wrong with you?  He was like a 5 year old in constant need of attention.  Every time this poor woman tried read something quietly he was tugging on her shirt begging for attention.  Who knocks a magazine out of someones hands?  I would've punched him. 

But in other good news...

The doctor says everything looks great!  She agrees that I can slowly start increasing my activity (and slowly increasing activity does not mean working she said, but it means I can fold laundry or put away some groceries) and wants me to continue to take the progesterone for a couple more weeks.  I just refilled it so I figure I'll use it till I run out or get my cerclage out.

Speaking of cerclages...I have a check up in 2 weeks (at the 35 week mark) and then will get my cerclage out on January 21st!  The doctor wants everything to stay status quo for at least 2 weeks and then after the cerclage is out baby Emma could be here at any time!  Although Dr. Roque had told us only a small percentage of women actually go into labor when their cerclages are out I do not think Emma will wait until her Feb. 17th due date.  I think she'll come on Super Bowl Sunday just to make her daddy soooo happy!  Of course we are going to the appointment on the 21st with the car seat in and my bag packed just in case.  We do have a little bit of a track record of expecting a normal doctors appointment and ending up in the hospital.  lol 

January 8th is my baby shower and then we'll be running out to get whatever else we think we may need before the 21st. 

It is so hard to believe that Emma could be here in as little as 3 weeks!  When I started bedrest at week 20 this point seemed so far away!  Emma has been quite the active little bunny today and still love feeling her move even when she kicks me good.  Its such a blessing to know that she is active and happy in there.  Heartbeat is good and cervix is closed.  What more could I ask for? 

And I even took a nap today!  Since I slept all of maybe 3 hours last night between the peeing and the acid reflux and the coughing I was exhausted when I had to get up to go to the doctors this morning.  She told me to take Robitussen DM and previously had told me Sudafed for congestion so after meeting Paul for lunch I stopped at the BX on base for the Robitussen.  As much as I didn't want to take any cold medicine I am just too miserable not to.  Despite having gained 8lbs since my appointment 3 weeks ago (the nurse said she though her scale was broken because everyone had gained so much weight today lol) this is what I left the BX with:

The Toblerone originally $7.  I got it on sale for $3.50.  How could I pass that up????  I already ate half of it.  haha (j/k I ate 3 triangles).  Plus that Ghiradelli peppermint hot chocolate is da bomb!  And the peppermint mocha creamer...well, I've never tried it, but I figure the powdered kind has to stay good forever.  Too bad I didn't have any coupons.  The ones Paul ordered last night online shipped today by the way.

Hope everyone is going to have a fabulously fun NYE...we shall be at home, probably watching TLC.  lol
