14 weeks

Damn, it was hot this weekend. Even in the shade, it was hot. Mr. P and I (well, he did and I watched) smoked s'more ribs, and had friends over. Just sitting in the yard, not doing much. But it wore me out, the heat did. Whew! So Sunday was spent in the a/c.

I had a wicked headache Saturday night into Sunday (see above paragraph re:heat). And I really didn't want to take anything. First, well, because I'm pregnant. But really, because Tyl.enol doesn't work anyway, so what's the point, ya know? But I'll tell you, I hate headaches.

The OB countdown continues, one week from today. I am holding it together, trying not to freak out too much. But I will certainly need some real reassurance next week. I need to know, for instance, if the baby is still alive. That s/he is growing normally. That my cervix is holding strong. Ya know, small stuff like that. Sigh, is it next week yet?

Other than that, I am going to work up the courage to get a wax this week. I've been putting it off, and things are very jungle-like down there. But with the bed rest, things got delayed. And, frankly, I read that waxing hurts more when you are pregnant, so I'm more scared. Which is dumb, as I've been a devout waxer since my teens (normal lady bits wax, none of that Brazilian insanity). And I want to get to the pool, so....eeek! I'll go.

Symptoms are the same as they have been, no real change. My hips have been hurting when I sleep, waking me up, in fact. Not sure what to do about this - I'm already sleeping with a pillow supporting the legs, back, all that stuff. I hate sleeping on my side. Other than that, same beer gut, same energy level, same weird boobs, same mild queasies at night.

Hope all y'all have a good week!! Stay cool!
