28 weeks

Just a quick update with a bump shot, not much to report other than I'm fat and can't wait til bub is out! Ofcourse so I can meet the little bubba but also so I can lose the ridiculous amount of weight I have gained! I miss wearing normal clothes.

Little bugger is kicking as I type this, how is it possible to love something before it's even born :)

Wow, 27 weeks! Can you BELIEVE IT!?! 10-13 weeks to go!

Sad thing is though, I've already put on 13kg! Surely I can't put on too much more - but I'm still not showing too much, and bub has ALOT more growing to do!!

Updates -

• Ultrasound, got there, had the ultrasound done on my kidneys, lots of deep breathing in, holding, and letting go. She had a REALLY quick look at Jelly to see the heartbeat. And then when it was done she said she had to go get a doctor to look over it, nothing to worry about and she'd be back soon. 20 minutes later! Gahh! thought something must have really been wrong. Said for me to organise to have an appointment with DR Bull - who was on the referral, I told her I only seen him once in hospital and my GP was Tinker, so she made me send a copy to Tinker and organise to see her soon, then as I left, I remembered Casey (midwife) was going to be looking at the results, and I guess she'd get them off the results sent to Dr Bull, so I am hoping that sending copies to Tinker didnt rule out the copies sent to Dr Bull.
  It also got me thinking maybe something is a little wrong if I have to go see a doctor about the results, but Casey said she'd call if anything was wrong, and I haven't heard from her..




• Glucose Tolerance Test, as soon as I got there she sat me down and brought me over the dreaded glucose drink! It was green, and cold, and fizzy and 50% SUGAR! ahhhh! It was sooo sweet!! and like 800kj+ And what was worse was I had 5 minutes to drink it in!! I really didn't want to drink it too quick because I have had a friend who drunk it quick and threw it all up! But I was fine, then I had the hour wait, but that was ok, as I had the TV remote (ha ha ha to all the other suckers in the waiting room, morning show it is) and I had Facebook on my mobile, then went and grabbed a magazine. The hour went pretty quick. Then I got my Blood taken and that was it, off home! No idea when I get my results for this, I guess, again, if It's bad Casey will call me.

Now, Yesterday, was the last day of the Big W baby sale, and when I went when it first started they had NOTHING THAT I WANTED THERE!! So in my lunch break me and kyle went in to see if they had any newborn nappies so we could grab 2 boxes for $60, but they had none, so I thought I'd have a quick look in the clothing, and lo and behold, they got the jumpers I wanted in! So I grabbed it and ran off to the checkouts like a happy little school girl! haha. They had a few other things I wanted in but I thought it best to restrain myself til the Baby Shower, I VOW to not buy one more thing until then! (lets hope I can stick to it)

And this, Is what kyle wanted, A winnie the pooh clothes hamper, I didnt really think we needed it, but he wanted it and got it, he got this the day his mum came into big w and put like $180 of stuff on layby.

Oh, last night, was the WORST. NIGHT. EVER! Woke at 1am to pee, woke at 4:30am with a cramp in my right leg, woke at 6:30am with a cramp in my left leg!!! Woke up soo tired :( and cramps are so painful!

So to update on the back pain thing - went to the hospital doctor last friday (who turned out to be an OB), she said it definately would be my kidney (after being told by my GP & midwife it wasn't) and I have a referral to get an ultrasound done next tuesday on my kidneys to compare to the one I had while in hospital.

She brought up stenting... I had NO idea what that was, come home and googled it, and lets just say there is no freaking way I am getting that done! I think I would rather live with the pain til bub is out then get a tube that is 30cm long put into my body. Just have to wait until tuesday I guess. Although I dont know whats gonna happen if they find nothing is wrong with my kidneys... would be nice to know what this pain is!! Although the past few days it hasnt been that bad, today it was actually my belly that hurt!!

The OB also said that if I kept up with the panadeine fort til birth then bub would have codeine withdrawls once it's out :( and that kind of makes me sad.

Okay, so I think it's safe to say I MAY start to be getting a bit of a belly, but still quite small to other people due the same time as me. Although scrolling down to the pic of me in the same shorts you can definately tell that I've grown a fair bit!!

So the outcome of that doctors appointment was to put me on panadiene fort. Which kinda sucks as it doesnt help the pain, it just makes it go away for 2 hours. Don't really want to be relying on pain killers until jelly is born! and I dont think I could cope with this pain until then either!!

At my midwife appoinment I did a urine test, and she came back telling me I am a mystery case as it was clear so it can't be my kidneys. She suggested a massage - which I got this morning. (went way too fast) and put me in to see a hospital doctor this friday. So hopefully I get some answers soon! I'm starting to think it could be a nerve thing. Waiting to see if this massage has helped or not. No full on pains as such just yet, but I did get a mild amount at lunch today.

Also have my glucose tolerance test coming up, most likely take it next wednesday before work, as it's the only time I have to do it.

Last night I was getting kicks down near the belly button but then I was also getting punches right at my side!! (which is right near the pain) so I bet this little bugger is causing it all! haha.
