Yep, one of those again. Yesterday was fairly busy with D's birthday, lots of running around to be done. Then out last night until fairly late. I just about collapsed into bed last night and I definitely did not want to wake up this morning. After taking D to the school bus I have just managed to grab an extra hours sleep on the sofa.
G gave me my first shot of Fragmin last night. The pharmacist had recommended doing the shots just under my rib area, starting on the one side, then each day moving an inch or so toward the other side, down an inch, and back. She said by then the original site will have no bruising left. Yeah, OK, but what she didn't tell me was that if you inject that high up (as opposed to around the hip area which we've done before) it bloody hurts. Very stingy and sore after the shot. Tonight we go lower!
Comparing my stomach to this time during my pregnancy with Dylan I don't think I'm nearly as big. My stomach isn't small anyways as it got stretched to the limits with D and I've never been able to get rid of all of that excess, but I distinctly remember being 4 months pregnant with D and going on holiday to bro-in-law's villa in Menorca and looking very pregnant indeed. This time, although I'm no longer able to hold it in and zip my stomach away behind regular jeans, the baby part isn't anything like as big. It is, however, pushing the excess stomach out further, so I feel fat more than anything. Cue lots of long baggy shirts.
I did the wedding ring on a hair over the tummy trick last night and it moved from side to side which apparently indicates a girl.
I desperately need to clean up the house in preparation for D's party on Saturday and also for my dad arriving on Sunday. But I'm too tired.
