Poppy's Home

Our doctor appointments are always very short...."I'm happy with everything I see on your chart. Everything looks great. See you at the next appointment". I make them 10x longer because I have a bazillion questions.....We leave each appointment with smiles on our faces, but I thought it'd be good to update those about me - the "cave" Pop has been hibernating in since last August.

Generally speaking, my pregnancy has been very, very easy (knock on wood - it's not over yet!). I really have minor complaints (right, Michael?!):

- my lower back. There are times when I feel that snapping it in half would feel better than the way it feels.

- the heartburn. People warned me about this - but I really didn't think it could be THAT bad. OMG! It was so bad one night, I couldn't swallow my own saliva.

- the inability to use my abs. In order for me to turn over in bed, I have to completely wake up, think if it's worth the hassle to turn over, decide that it is, use my arms to sit completely up, rotate and then fall back down. By the time I complete this process...I'm WIDE awake, kicking myself for making the decision to make the move.

Any more Michael?

Housing Poppy has been one of the most amazing experiences. When I watch my belly move from left to right or get sad that I can't get help him get rid of his hiccups, I can't help but smile and be so proud to already be his Mommy.
