Kitties again woke me up at 3:00 am and then Bumpy woke up and was very active and I got back to sleep about 4:15ish (wasn't looking at the clock but felt like that time) and then woke up to go to work at 5:30ish and then got to work at 6:06 am and was tired for all of the day and the med's I am taking don't help any because it doesn't settle well in my tummy.
Renting a car on Thursday, to have hubby and I "test drive" the Rav 4 before we buy it. I know I am to test drive the cars on the lot but it will give me a better sense of what is in store when it comes down to the final choice in cars.
Bumpy this morning was very active as it will be more active (66 days and counting) coming in the next two months. I think there is a flat screen TV in there and a PS-Baby or a Wee-little fit where there is exercise game and Bumpy is trying to follow along. That or having Tao-Bo fitness DVD's play when it wants to cause some hurt.
I will leave this as the most post month so far in this blog. 34 in March. I don't know if Not A Month will have so many but it does have a trip to the OB and I may have scanner access for pictures and PC access for even more pictures. *not getting hopes up but it is exciting!*

Bumpy's First Eartquake!
Dear Bumpy,
Even though you are still in my tummy and have no clue what went on today. A magnatude 4.3 earthquake hit the South Bay this morning and I did not feel you didn't stir.
Love,
Mom
PS you are active right now at 1:02 pm!

Had a confession yesterday
The confession that I stated in the car to hubby while he was driving yesterday was that when we went to the hospital Friday night, I had hoped it would be that Bumpy would need to be delivered sooner rather than in its 37-40 week period. I know its horrible to speak like that, but with the car accident and my baby body its getting to me. I know from a logical point of view that its best for the baby to be in there as long as possible but with my right side hurting every day and I can't just get better with in a few weeks of the accident and the MD being honest with me, which is good (?) about the recovery time. I thought no problem, but as I am hurting every day with the Tylenol and exercises and the use of the arm, I guess I am over being happy about most things right now.
I even asked if we could go to Babies R US and that didn't even cheer me up because I realized I forgot to put a simple changing pad on my registry. So when I got home I updated a little on my BRU reg and was kind of sadden at the fact that its been almost 2 months since its been up and no one has checked anything off. I know the Shower isn't till May and people have yet to either buy things because its too soon or they don't want it to clutter their homes with boxes (I should know about that one), but its hard when reading posts (blame baby boards) when people are due in Aug. state that some of their reg items are all ready bought. I am not blaming any one, as its too soon, like I said before, but at least a little glimmer of who bought something would be exciting.
I'll end the post with a funny story from last night. I was waiting for my sleeping pants as hubby had washed them earlier in the day for clean cloths, and I was waiting for them in bed. So half dressed for bed, had not yet brushed my teeth, fell into a very deep sleep because I was comfy. I wake up about 12:30am (the alarm clock is on the dresser away from the bed) and realized that I wasn't all dressed and I had still needed to brush my teeth. So I walked in to the potty, dazed because I was still sleepy, tried to brush my teeth with the light from the night light, had to rinse with stinky water from the tap, and went on an exploration to find my sleeping pants. I went to the little laundry room and turned on the out side light (don't know why, I just did) looked out to the line (nothing), looked in the small dryer (nothing), grooped around feeling wet clothes, not there either. Came back to the bedroom felt around the dressers, nothing that felt like pants on them, and then I felt at the foot of the bed, nothing but my passed out 10 1/2 month kitten passed completely out. She didn't move even when I pet her. So I went back to bed and after a few minutes I got back comfy again and went to sleep.
I didn't find out till this morning, that hubby tried to wake me up, when attempts failed, he placed the sleepy pants by the foot of the bed so when I did wake up they would be there. Before he went to bed Bindi had jumped up on the pants and because it was still dryer warm, she fell asleep on them and passed out. So when I got up they were right where Hubby had left them and now the sleepy pants are on me keeping my legs warm.

Went to work for 4 hrs
As much of a drama that was last night, I signed up for OT and went to work all be it 2 and a half hrs later than my start time (8:30 am other wise my start time is 6am) and stayed there for 4 hrs so that it could be at least worth the time there. After the 4 hrs I went home and tried to take a nap but my brain and body wouldn't let me. I have a drooling kitten in my lap purring up a storm, hopefully resting comfortably on my lap. Its relaxing to hear and I think Bumpy is enjoying the background noise.

A visit to L&D triage
For a 24 hr period I had some brown spotting when I go potty and thought to call the advice nurse. When I did that this afternoon, they had to transfer to Labor and Delivery as in my 3rd tri they wanted to see me as soon as I could be there. There was only one hitch, Hubby has the only car. So I had to wait for him to come home. The good news at least he didn't have to go hungry, I stopped at a pizza place before all of the mega drama and got a pizza and bread sticks so he was fed.
Back to the story, so when he came and picked me up and we got to the City, hubby dropped me off and I truged to the 3rd floor where L&D is located and got buzzed in. Hubby came in a little after wards by the securty gaurd asking me if he was my Hubby. Of course I said yes (I wasn't going to say no, but I wanted to) and we sat in the waiting room for a few seconds and were escorted in. Hooked up to a fetal moniter and had 1 contraction while I was monitered. Then after a half hour or so the doctor came in and did an internal exam (uncomfortable because of my back and everything that went a long with it) and took swabs to look for some cause that I could be there with the spotting. Turns out that I have a slight bacterial infection (got meds for) and got to see Bumpy's local in my tummy. Breach as of today. It can turn at any point but it's head looked perfect, heart pumping and growing big. The doctor got a picture (super small) and printed it out for me and I got a picture of the fetal heart rate strip. I'll put the pictures up as soon as I can, but can't say 100% when. I got some Meds and was sent home for the night to only return if I have some other issues like real bleeding and labor pains.
For me it was funny because when the advice nurse, L&D nurses and the doctor asked if I was having back or leg pains I stated that I was in a car accident a month ago so it was hard to distingous what was what!
In 7 1/2 months 1 ER visit (1 non baby related car accident), 1 L&D admit (see 1 NBR), 1 L&D triage watch and I still have 2 months to go after this!

Sleepy but can't go to sleep
Just a quick note while I am placed on hold. I am tired due to a cat banging on the metal blinds at 3 or 4 in the morning. I don't know what time I went to sleep it was right after 9:30 pm. This weekend I have OT for another department in the office so I can get a better paycheck to make up a bit and to get back above the curve a bit before Maternity Leave. Only 2 months away! :/

Thursday, just a Thursday
I felt that I was 6 and a half months but reading in the WTE Book I am 7 and a half months pregnant! I think because I was off of work for the month and a half it messed with my brain because I wasn't doing anything besides watch TV, the belly grow and try not to throw up do a stinky potty with carpet *shivers*. I have noticed with the new place I have not had any head aches, felt more nauseous or dizzy for over two weeks! I think I lost days just by being dizzy and feeling like I could throw up each time I enter the potty for anything! I think Bumpy is happy that Mommy is more healthy and it can play with Puma and Bindi. I know hubby is much happier.
Soon it will be April 1, and I will have to get a rental car because as soon as I go to my OB its going to be every two weeks and then at 37 weeks, every week till POP!!
