2nd appointment done

Morning sickness is officially kicking my ass. I have no energy to do anything, let alone update my blog. Work is a struggle, I get Owen and we now basically come home to lay on the sofa for half an hour and watch TV so I can rest and get my energy up to play until his bedtime at 7:30. Bedtime comes between 8 and 9 for me and it is a struggle to open my eyes at 6:20. The second trimester cannot get here fast enough, and hopefully will bring some relief.

I had my second appointment on Wednesday with my OB and had another ultrasound. The baby looks great and has a good heartbeat. I had a physical, which went fine and got to sit with my OB for a good 10 minutes and talk a bit. She did recommend I try to limit my weight gain to only 20 pounds this time, which I think might be ridiculously impossible considering the only food I want to eat is cheese and nachos.

There is a hiccup in everything of course. My insurance is in negotiations with the hospital I would deliver at, and if it isn't resolved by February 5th then I have to find a new OB that delivers at a different hospital. Lame. I am hoping that this will get fixed and have already been on the phone with Aetna several times and getting the appropriate forms completed to argue that I am pregnant, lazy and don't want to find a new OB and start all this crap over again. I am very comfortable where I am.

Every other aspect of life is going fine. R is good, Owen is good, work is ok. We moved Owen to his toddler bed a couple weeks ago and the transition is going great. He gets in and stays in all night, sleeps pretty well and naps well. He has been sick with a sinus infection for a bit and he has this awful cough. And being sick has made him miserable and clingy, he refuses to eat and he cries. A lot. But he still gives lots of kisses and hugs that make it all much better and make me look forward to having 2 little ones snuggling with me.
