I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I had the flu three weeks ago and it festered and turned into a sinus and ear infection at the end of last week. I found a great new general doctor and was given some antibiotics. My eardrum ruptured, anyway, and I still can not hear out of my right ear! I do feel better. I feel better than I have in a month! It’s also a great excuse to ignore everyone. I really can not hear out of it, but even if I can “feel” someone talking to me, I just ignore it! Sweet bliss!
I am not gaining much weight and was actually told that it looked like I’ve lost weight, except for my belly. I have given up my loaded potato bites and all fried food. I’ve worked really hard to eat lots of protein and fiber and limit my sugar. I’ve lost six pounds and feel great. My midwife is really excited that I’ve changed my diet.
Baby Fenter is very active, unless someone is around that wants to see some action! His feet touch my ribs, but he is much lower than Sydney was. Sydney stuck her foot between my ribs and would hang. I’m glad that this baby isn’t doing that! He does use my bladder as a trampoline.
Everything is going well and I am on the road to recovery. Other than Jeff’s and my snore-off at night, we are both finally able to sleep through the night. Neither one of us were big snorers before Baby Fenter, but we take turns waking each other up with the raising of the roof. One more pregnancy symptom that makes me feel so sexy. Oh yeah! At least there’s no hemorrhoids or varicose veins! I’m also not nearly as sick as I had been. Oh, I did indulge in Hooters for the Super Bowl and was SICK the next day! I guess I’m not meant to eat fried food. My shrinking love handles do thank me for my diet change!
