I had my 10 week appt today.
Spawn is growing perfectly and measuring on schedule! My weight hasn't changed from last appt. Doctor said that was actually normal for 1st trimester (little to no weight gain). I'm so used to gaining like 10 lbs alone in the 1st trimester. I guess since I was a normal weight this time around, my body didn't see the need to pack on pounds.
I go back in 2 weeks to do a routine US screening for down syndrome.
We spent the weekend over at my mom's for my grandma's 70th birthday. Grandma didn't know we were coming. Her face totally lit up when we walked in the door.
John grilled up some pork ribs and Grandma showed me how she made her uber yummy potato salad. It was seriously the best potato salad I've ever had.
Mom just told me her cancer is down to 25% so now she'll be doing the less aggressive chemo once a week for the next 12 weeks. I hope that Grandma can handle the lesser chemo as well as she did the aggressive stuff they gave her.
Nothing else is going on right now. So I'll leave you guys with this little fun gem:
If I was a serial killer, right before I killed someone, I'd make them think they were on Scare Tactics:
Me: "Hey! You're on Scare Tactics!!"
Victim: "ZOMG REALLY?!?!?!?!"
Me: "Nope!" *stab stab stab stab*

I had a random thought.
What if guys' penis size was in correlation with their butt size?
Little to no butt: Large penis
Average sized butt: Average penis
Lots of butt: Teeny weeny
Any guys the odd ball with big butt and big penis?
If only I was a scientist...

I know longer want to live in Arizona. My god this past week alone...
Gov Brewer signed some laws into effect:
1) Debt collectors only need the final bill (not an ITEMIZED bill) to go after any debts. That final bill does not have to reflect the correct balanced owed. Basically, lets say you owe like $100 and it goes into collections. Before the company sells your debt to a collection agency, said company can add whatever misc charges and they DO NOT need to prove said charges are correct! Have fun!
2) Pregnant in Arizona? Might as well move to another state. Doctors can now LIE and withhold diagnostics from pregnant women for whatever reason (if they think you're going to abort based on diagnostics, for example). No, you cannot sue them if you give birth and find out WHOOOOPS, your kid is defective. The new law protects doctors from that too.
3) Seeking abortion? Prepared to have a MANDATORY transvaginal ultrasound to guilt trip you not to abort.
And my new favorite from today: State of AZ has asked Hawaii to prove Obama is a valid US citizen in order to put him on the AZ election ballet...
Seeking a new state to live that has minimal natural disasters and is not so close to Wyoming.

Today was my doctor's appointment. I am 6 weeks today. Got ultrasound pics. Officially due Dec 24! Baby is measuring exactly where it should be
My doc said he would induce me a week early if I wanted so I could be home by Christmas and I told him no. I was perfectly fine having the baby around that time. He did recommend that I eat lots of steak for iron! lol I told John "See, honey? You gotta make me lots of steak. Doctor's orders!!" haha That made me seriously happy.
Everything is going perfect. I go back in 4 weeks for another appointment and ultrasound. I'm getting an ultrasound every appointment up until 20 weeks. That one is supposed to be the last one. He might sneak one more in towards the end (he did with Lily at 32 weeks).
That's it for now. Nothing else to report.

Today I am 5 wks preggos. I've been stabilizing at around 127lbs. Eat one thing and I get bloated as hell. My nose has been stuffy. My nausea has gone away and my appetite is starting to return.
It's been getting hot. I am going to start running the AC today. That makes me sad since our electric bill is going to skyrocket (and yes, I keep it at 82 degrees).
I've been watching a bunch of Supernatural. Almost done with Season 3. Just a few more episodes and I can start Season 4.
I have my first prenatal appointment next week. John is getting really excited about it. Yesterday morning he laid his head on my belly and says "If there are two of you in there, I'm going to need to get a bigger car because the stroller won't fit!" Today he said he didn't want to talk to my belly until he knew for sure how many were in there because he doesn't want the other one to feel left out LOL We've even picked out 2 more names just in case (so we have 2 boy names and 2 girl names).
My grandma started her first round of chemo last week. Since some of the cancer started growing in her bones (only in a few spots), my mom said they have to be more aggressive than what they originally were going to be. She got 3 different types of chemo for 3 different things. She goes for another round next week. Still not sure if I'm going out there during the summer or not since my mom hasn't talked to me about it.

I feel like I am going crazy with this pregnancy. Keep in mind, it has been about 6 yrs since I've last been pregnant. And I know what I'm going through this round I did not with my other 3 kids. I seriously am suspecting that there might be more than one baby in there (I've had this feeling for awhile) but I feel like a retard for thinking it.
1) My pregnancy test with from this:
to this:
in 5 days.
2) I tested postive at 3 weeks (or around 6dpo since I know I ovulated Apr 5th). So I googlefu'd the shit out of that and I've gotten 3 stories:
a) either I ovulated earlier than I thought I did (which I didn't because I've been keeping track of my cycles due to having my IUD removed)
b) I have an ectopic pregnancy (meaning the baby implanted in the fallopian tube or anywhere else not in the uterus)
c) there is more than one in there
3) I had severe "ovulation" pain for 2 days before I ovulated. I have NEVER EVER in my entire life had ovulation pains before I had kids or even after having kids. I found out through my obsessive googlefu that it could be a sign of hyper-ovulation.
4) I've already started to bloat up. With my other 3 kids, I didn't start bloating up until 8-10wks and then my belly popped out at 12wks.
5) Already started to gain weight. I can't fit into my skinny jeans a week later. A fucking week later. Typically I don't starting NOT fitting into my clothes around 2-3 months.
6) I am so mega tired. I sleep a bajillion hrs at night. Wake up for a couple hrs, get sleepy again, take a 4 hr nap. Wake up. Cook dinner. Put the kids to bed. Stay up for a few hrs. Go back to bed. Start the cycle over again.
I know every pregnancy is different. I know that with having 3 kids previously, my body is like "Oh this again!" I know each of my symptoms can be explained away. I have an appt in 2 weeks so I'll know then since my doc will be doing an ultrasound.
PS: I should probably learn to proofread my blogs before posting them. *sigh*
PPS: I've gained 4 lbs in a week!

I just got done making my first prenatal appt. It is on Apr 30th at 10:15am. I will be 6 weeks. Totally getting an ultrasound that day. That'll probably be my "Shit's just got real!" moment!
I'm no longer in Vindicated. The GM announced he was leaving SWTOR. So I pulled 2 (out of 5) of my characters out of the guild to help another guildie start his own guild. I told them I was keeping my other 3 toons in the Vindicated to help out and stick around. Yeah-Now I'm the red-headed step child. My website access has been restricted. I couldn't even vote for the new GM. Honestly, I don't even know how long I'll be playing SWTOR now. I signed up for the Tera Online beta and as of May 1st, I'll probably be playing that instead since I don't have any ties to SWTOR.

Pink stick is my pregnancy test.
Blue stick is my ovulation test. Ovulation tests turn positive along with pregnancy tests because the LH hormone (yes I know that's redundant) and the hCG hormone are like identical twins except hCG is the twin with the hat. OPKs just want to find one of the twins while HPTs want the twin with the hat.
I am for sure, most definitely pregnant. I am 3 weeks today. Due date is around Dec 24th-26th. This has been the only GOOD thing that has happened this week.
A lot of shit has gone down that I don't really want to talk about at the moment. I just hope that everything will eventually turn out okay.
I am in the process of working things out with my mom for me to spend the summer in Willcox after the kids get out of school. Right now, it looks like I might be heading over there the first weekend of June. I am currently installing SWTOR on my laptop to see if it runs it so maybe I can play during the summer.
