Ribs, Doctors and Bellies

Ribs: Ollie really likes his new home under my right rib cage. That's where he's set up camp for a quite some time now and will probably remain for a few weeks. My posture has gotten much better recently because slouching cuts off my breathing, squishes my stomach and sends stabbing pains through my rib cage.

Doctors: I had another appointment with the doctor on Wednesday. Everything went great. I told him about my self diagnosis of pubic bone separation (major pains in my pubic bone when standing on one foot and getting off the couch or in and out of bed). He said he could give me meds, but I declined. It really isn't intolerable at this point. He also recommended a physical therapist if it gets worse now and especially after delivery. I also told him of my restless leg syndrome diagnosis. Again, he prescribed meds, but I haven't filled it. Last night it would've been great, but again, it isn't intolerable, just annoying. My BP and weight are good. Ollie's heartbeat is strong. I passed my glucose and anemia test and all is well. I really can't complain.

Bellies: Getting bigger and bigger. The dogs really appreciate my bulging belly because they'll lie in my lap and put there heads on my belly and they are almost at eye level with me when I'm lying down. They enjoy the attention. I've been hoping Ollie will kick them because I'd love to see a reaction, but they are never in the right place at the right time.

Badger wants to know who's invading his space.

Our first shower is next weekend. I'll be sure to post some pictures from that event. It'll be nice to have family and friends together. Until next time!!
