Tues 7pm-ish
I just got back from the clinic. Had a 5:30pm appointment, but they actually saw me early, yay. I went into the consultation room, and the nurse measured me up (after having snatched my weight print out - I kinda thought they were "on to me" but nothing was mentioned of my weight this time, just on 1.6kg in 3weeks...so right on track) felt up my legs (no swelling) and then promtly told me to cover my tummy because I would get cold (in the 3 secs between her leaving and the doc coming in). Then, when the doctor did come in, he was like "oh, hi there" greeting me like I was an old friend. It was kinda funny. I can understand tho that some patients must stand out, and I guess the blonde with the super cute toddler(☺) is something people seem to remember....
All is good with me and TJ-baby- I have just worked out that when TJ-baby is attacking me from the inside, it is prob their legs up high on the left side, and their hands down low on the right side. I worked this out when the doc was scanning TJ-baby's head down there. I had been wondering for a while about that. Strong legs this one, lol. Measurements all on 29week range values, and saw its intestines and heart all formed well! Doctor told me at the end of the visit to take it easy from now on (haha, like I haven't been from day 1!) and likened week 30 onwards to blowing up a balloon - at first it takes a lot of effort to get the balloon going, but then it just exapnds on it's own momentum. Basically, from now on I get huge!! And I was feeling a bit big tummied already, ttytt. must post a belly shot!
Am actually feeling more heavy in general - difficulties with my !yoshoi's! and getting up from chairs/sofas/under kotatsu, that kinda thing. I am already nearly 1t 10kg, which is faster to get to this weight than when pregnant with K. Hmmm....
However, since I got no reprive for weight gain this time, I am thinking of trying out some lovely sweets recipes that I have seen on other blogs recently, haha!
Am kinda thinking .....
cut to 11.50pm Wed night, and I have no idea what I was thinking ⇑- I obviously had to leave the post half way through yesterday, and forgot my train of thought...oh well)...
I kinda broached the name thing with J last night. We haven't really thought about names for TJ-baby at all yet. I would like a name that is easy to pronounce in both Japanese and English, but haven't found any that stick out yet.
Also had to pay up the deposit (if you can call 20man a deposit) for the hospital. Ouch.
That was both the pain of having to fork over that much money, and TJ-baby doing aerobics on the inside - must be letting me know that they know I am talking about them✌.

Glad to hear everyhing is going well. Ballooning out isn't fun but never understood why the Japanese women don't. I often was asked how 'overdue' I was!
ReplyDeleteChoosing a name is difficult, we did the same something easy to pronounce is both languages and 2 0f the 3 kids were only registered on the last day available at city hall :( DH choice.
Doctors who tell you to 'take it easy' when you have a toddler around need some parenting lessons!!
Isn't it great to hear how well the baby is doing at each appointment? Even now 32 weeks in I worry occasionally that something is going to go wrong so hearing that everything is fine with Baby N always brightens my day!
ReplyDeleteYou definitely need to start posting bump shots :) It's interesting to see the way your bump changes from appointment to appointment!! It will be interesting to see how much you do ballooon from this point onwards. I know that my bump measurements really haven't changed that much but looks wise, you can really tell!
I am finding it very difficult to get out from under the kotatsu now too :( And out of bed at night for my midnight toilet run. Slowly but surely I am feeling the heaviness of my bump.
Good luck with choosing a name :) Can't wait to hear what you finally decide (when Baby Tj is born obviously)!
Glad to hear everything is going well with baby TJ! Yay for not getting in trouble about your weight gain. I can never go to the doctor in the arvo as my weight is much less in the morning.
ReplyDeleteTalking about names is fun! Who has the most say in your household lol? Ryuji likes foreign sounding names so I basically get to decide and unless he hates the sound of it I can pretty much make the decision.
I would definitely recommend Achan's slice if you are going to make some sweets. Nay's cheesecake looks pretty damn yummy too. Happy baking!
Nikki - I don't usually make afternoon appointments, for that reason too! But since I had to change my appointment from last week (as K came down with a bad cough) the clinic would only give me an afternoon apt. How stupid - if you change or cancel an appointment, they will ONLY let you get a new appointment in the afternoon, what a crazy policy.
ReplyDeleteOoh that is a crazy policy! It's amazing how different doctors are. My clinic doesn't even have an appointment system so sometimes there is a huge wait but I have found going first thing in the morning is the way to go.
