Some crap that I don't much want to talk about, has left me feeling a bit down and confused...All I have to say is, some people just don't learn.
The persistent hot weather with no breaks or rain relief has left the air quality in Tulsa to the birds, and my asthma has made walking from the door to the car almost impossible. I started using my Advair inhaler again, because the birth defects in animals were cleft palate, bone issues and miscarriage, but I'm past all those stages, so I should be fine. I am praying that we will get some kind of rain or something to break up the 100+ temps (heat index anywhere from 105 to 115) for us.
There will not be any ultrasound photos to show off this time, their printer wasn't working.
I also broke their toilet, how wonderful is that? I sat to get my urine sample, and while screwing on the lid I heard a resonating CRRAAAACCCKKKK!!! The actual porcelain that held the toilet to the wall split in half. I've sat on that thing once a month, every 4 weeks, since March so why now? I didn't gain *that* much weight (only 5 pounds since the beginning of the pregnancy), geeze!
I was told that I have blood in my urine (better than the blood elsewhere!), so Dr.S thinks I have a urinary tract infection. I had noticed that I was having to pee alot, that I felt an almost painful pressure during and after I went, and what I thought was my hips were hurting, but I just chalked that up to baby, and didn't think anything of it. I can't really say much about the appointment...I was in and out in no time, no pics to look at, and just a glimpse enough to make sure her heart was beating (129 bpm) and she was moving. Her little hands were in fists, and up in front of her little face, but that's all we got to see. Oh, and she's still breech (feet down).
Then we went to Roger's dentist appointment afterwards...an hour or so later I find out he has 4 cavities, an abscess tooth that needs a root canal and a crown replacement, a deep cleaning because he has beginning stages of periodontal disease, and at least one other crown replacement....So, in the next 2 to 4 weeks or so, we're looking at minimum $400 going in his mouth on top of the $500 for the ER we already owe. I am glad we went though, because he didn't feel the abscess and that could have killed him, had it gone undiagnosed. That would be all I need, him to drop dead from sepsis and us have been completely unaware. Here's my soapbox: Get your teeth checked! I had to fight with him all the time, and we'd have some pretty nasty fights over him going to the dentist, and now look where we are. He is going to his free twice a year cleanings from now on, I don't care if I have to drag him in by his hair.
Now for the updates.
Babycenter.com: "At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily."
Babiesonline.com: "Your baby is getting bigger and continues to practice for life outside the uterus. This week your baby has fully developed eyelashes and eyebrows and the hair on your baby's head is continuing to grow as his brain begins a rapid growth process. The fetus has fully formed fingerprints and loud noise can wake up the baby. He may begin kicking and turning around, too. Your baby's heartbeat can be heard with a stethoscope. His nose is taking on a more defined shape as cartilage (the soft bone) appears."
Thebump.com: "Real estate within your belly is getting tight, with growing baby leaving little room for your lungs to...well...breathe. Expect the huffing and puffing to start soon. There's not much room for your belly button, either -- it'll pop out any day now. Baby's settling into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day. It shouldn't be hard to figure out when -- just pay attention to those kicks as they start and stop."
