Pump... Pump pump it up

OK... I just spent a crazy wad of coin on a breast pump. WHAT???? And I was informed that I needed to spend even more to "enhance" the experience. I need to buy a hands free bra and a car charger so I can pump on the go.

So soon I will experience what milk cows do when they step in to the ring for their milking. Can't wait! (not)

Movin' on up!

Ultrasound results have my due date moved up to Oct. 20!!!!!!! YAY because I am really getting uncomfortable. My hips and my right but cheek feel like someone is drilling a screw through my nerve that travels down my right leg and I am beginning to walk like an 80 year old who just crapped their pants.

In other good news - monkey is healthy, happy and active. We also discovered that she is not cooperative at all and doesn't like to have her picture taken, but different from 20 weeks has unfortunately begun preferring to show her labia to the camera instead of her face. Should I be worried?? Guess I can go ahead and get the pink stuff out - monkey is definitely a girl!

27 Week Monkey Checkup

So... my fundus is big. WTF? Of course it is... I'm fat! Anyway, the doc states I'm measuring a bit a head so I am going for an ultrasound on Thursday to get more accurate measurements.

Other than that... everything went well. BP is normal. Monkey's HR is good.

A week ago I had a weird flare up of high blood pressure and as I called the, Keilbasa feet. You know how a Keilbasa looks when you put it on the grill and it puffs up and starts looking like it is going to crack open and explode at any second?? Well... that is what my feet looked like all of the sudden.

Turns out it was just related to stress more than likely and being on my feet all day shooting a wedding in the heat. There was a lot of stress that week. Our kitchen was temporarily decommissioned while we waited for our new countertops, dishwasher and sink to be installed. Oh... and did I mention that this no kitchen business happened when we had house guests? Oye... not fun trying to entertain and have your only workspace on top of the stove!
