We all know who will win this contest eventually but the butt puts up a very good fight when all is said and done. A woman once asks me at around 40 weeks where I was hiding Isabelle, I said " right here" and you can guess where I pointed.

It Hurts
I know I just posted but I need to whine.
Tuesday morning at 5 am I woke with my entire left aching. This is not new since being pregnant, and pre preg I would get a pinched nerve my left scapula region which was just a pinched feeling that was easily remedied with yoga. The stupid arm hurt till late into the afternoon, and took tylenol and ended up calling the dr to see if I could take anything else. No go. So I pretty much cried as Christian was being extra annoying to me for some reason and called my mom for sympathy. I kept up on the tylenol and soaked in a hot bath it seemed to help and I was mended JUST in time for our girl's night which was WONDERFUL!! And my friend Sarah was so sweet to carry around my liter of conditioner for me all evening while shopping.
My next whine is my sciatic issues, I always have a balled up muscle that is super sore on my lower right side of my back and since having too babies I have had a glimmer of the pain but this time around, the pain is sharp and makes me limp, I think getting groceries and things like using my entire body to get sluggish van doors open does not help. So my whole right leg has been aching today along with the sharp pains while walking. Been stretching, heatpacking, torturing myself my pressing on said balled up muscle knot, the pain is sharp but it alleviates the leg ache. So there I blogged an entire entry about nerve pinching and whining.
It's better than stomach aches, it's better than stomach aches....

Baby
I really need to post a belly pic so I will try to remember to take a picture tomorrow when I am not in sweats in a too small tank top, hair not done or make-up. My usual look. Last week I saw the baby kick my belly and last night the baby was kicking away, it was the first time this pregnancy I felt the repeated movements and kicks and could feel them on the outside too, they were an inch or so below my belly button. Very fun.

Kid Sherlock
2 random things. First a random quote from the boy one morning this week as he walked by me out of the kitchen. " We're kids, we play with stuff." That's all the end he left.
Next, last night before bed Isabelle was trying to track down her water bottle. She was also supposed to be getting ready for bed, cleaning up etc; I called her upstairs to scold her for not doing what I asked, she had something behind her back, I asked her of course, what's behind your back? She pulls out a kid's magnifying glass. I had to smirk at that one. :)
ps I continue to feel better and better and remember when I said I would jinx myself for saying I had freakish pregnancy immunities, well I got a cold from Isabelle this week, she had also just gotten a prior cold two weeks before, good GRIEF!! Though I will say while we all have said cold, it's hitting me the least hardest.

What are the odds...
A couple of really great if it can go wrong it will stories. First one, last week, putting up the tree. I test all the lights, two strands a go, one strand, a few out. So I get out my spares and get my food scraper to loosen the lights and since of none of the replacement bulbs match I have to do the whole remove the light from the holder to put it in the corresponding strands base. I end up with more lights out than replacements. No prob, I'll just put all the burnouts at the end of the string. I then begin the fun job of stringing the lights that I checked... because nothing's worse than stringing them and having them not work, I get a little dizzy going around and around the tree. Lights strung, moment of truth. half of one strand is out. Curses. Unstring two outside strands and settle for one inside strand one outside strand. Ok still pretty. A couple days later, another goes almost ALL out. I took really annoying long winded measures to prevent this and it happened twice anyway!!! I'm just too tired to buy more lights and redo the entire dad gum tree.
Another much more humiliating story. This too has happened to me twice. We seem to have some problem in the sewer line, it clogs 30-40 feet out and this happened last year and again today. I rarely "use" the downstairs bathroom. But I was down here putting in a load of towels because we had water in the basement last night from what we thought was a frozen hose from the sump. Christian does his numero dos. Flush no problem. I'm down there, I too have to go "use" this bathroom. As I'm sitting there, I hear blub blub. ( this is the sound the toilet makes when water is about to come up our shower downstairs and the drain.) The washer is draining and the water is backing up. Literally oh crap. No flushie for Audrey. I get to have Roto Rooter out. This is the second time this has happened to me. I have no dignity left. Especially now after blogging this.

14 weeks
Random pregnancy update ahead. I'm starting to feel better and better. Not normal but more moments of normal than not. I'm still pretty tired at the end of the day but i don't feel as sick. Got to hear the baby's heartbeat again, it was 151 bpm. She said since my pregnancy seems to be so healthy we could go 6 weeks till the next apt and that way I'll get my ultrasound sooner (as in 6 weeks). I can't wait to find out what gender the baby is!! Then we can get to work on figuring out a name. I was great with that so no apt in Dec, only getting labs done on my thyroid. My thyroid has been checked every 4 weeks by my endocrinologist and it's remaining within normal range since our initial slight increase at 4 weeks pregnant. I am thankful I have had no thyroid symptoms at all. I also seem to have a weird freakish pregnancy immunity. I've not caught a virus this whole time... watch me now, I jinxed myself. Maybe my 2 flu shots helped a little too but I've managed to dodge the kids various viruses and they did a lot of breathing on me. I've gained 4.5 lbs so far. I'm pretty hungry but it's not as bad as it was with trying to calm the acid and I haven't had a chocolate donut in quite some time. ;) My sciatic nerve can really kill after a day of cleaning. I need to take another belly pic, hard to believe I've gone 5 weeks and not done another one. Probably because my belly hasn't grown as much I don't know. :) My bloat is now just being filled with actually uterus and baby... ok that's all for now.
