Survival

I'm alive and I survived the cursed plague of earlier in the week...thank you God!

I saw the doctor today. Sushi is measuring way ahead in many areas and a whopping three weeks ahead in her abdomen of allplaces. She has enormous cheeks which the doctor noted is very common in oversized babies. Tomorrow I have to get a diabetes test. He suspects she might be the product of something like this. Damn, if it ain't one thing! I'm so tired of being poked and prodded. I hope I don't have to deal with something like that.

The new doctor is really nice and I simply love him (thanks to Aly for her doctor's reference). He is really patient and answers questions, taking time to explain every detail and every scenario. The one problem is his ultrasounds. They take forever. I am very uncomfortable on my back and I feel like I'll pass out, but there he is rolling around the wand across my belly, typing and discussing. I thought I'd die tonight at the appointment floundering on my back like a whale woman. That dreaded dip in the back is unsupportable lately.

I hate to think I will have to sign off but we are checking out of the hotel tomorrow and moving in to our house. Internet may take a while to set up. I hope to be blogging regularly soon but since Mexico is slow on most things, well...

I really like keeping these blogs and it's such a habit that any interruptions to it are annoying. I hope I can pop in regularly up until the birth. I'm going to have to discover the internet cafe I guess.
