My Social Life at the Baby Doctors

They only time I socialize is at the OB/GYN's office. All the ultrasound techs know my name and my baby's persnickety way of waiting until the last possible minute to practice breathing on his Bio Physical Profile. The BPP's are like the high point of my day, twice a week.
Also, Dr. F says i may have gestational diabetes. Which is making me feel a little exhausted. I have already been on bed rest for a month and haven't been able to exercise which is making me cranky and causing wretched headaches. Exercise is a big part of the solution with mild GD. What will I have to do now? I hope I don't have GD but if I do, I hope it is mild but if its not than I hope I don't have to stick my fingers or whatever.
There. I have a plan. Sort of.

Camp Verde Baby Moon Bust

Ugh. Baby Moon on bed rest? I don't recommend it.

We took the dogs which was absolutely stupid. Coco loves to travel and begs to go walking, riding flying, whatev. Sami trembles and has to be touching me or is a total basket case. Coco chills in the Sherpa in the backseat not a peep out of her. Sami threatens to puke at ever slight incline. Not to mention they can be very yappy-barky in unfamiliar situations, which a hotel room definitely is.

There is nothing to do in Camp Verde except gamble at the casino or eat at the casino. I don't gamble and eating is a touch and go situation (at best) at this point.

I have to monitor my blood pressure, because has been trying to creep up. Which I will prevent with sheer force of will. Oh, and I am constantly laying on my left side which cause me to have totally nasty heartburn if I'm not cautious of what I nom. If it were up to the baby I would live on peanut m&m's and pb&j. The ampersand diet by Liam McConaghy!

So I ate cautiously, slept on my left side read a book and waited to have dinner. We spent a fortune on steaks wrapped in bacon (because everything is wrapped in bacon these days). Then I went back to the room to sleep and B played poker. He was out pretty late which was too bad for him as Sami woke us up and kept us at the usual 8am. She doesn't get vacation hours.

We did go to Montezuma Castle on Saturday, but I was being lapped by the elderly and infirm. Oh well. I was impressed by the mechanics of the dwelling but you can't see too much, so it wasn't as informative as I would have liked. And of course the short walk left me wiped out so I had to sleep for 4 hours...

For Easter dinner we had... cactus. Seriously! Batter dipped cactus! It was wonderful. However the entree was surprisingly spicy and I got sick. Which ruined B's dinner. I'm going to be a candidate for the Biggest Loser after I have my baby, he'll be recruited by J Crew. He kept me from crawling back to bed, which no one else on earth could have done, so I have to be grateful. We spent several hours basically rehashing the year. It was so much fun and as usual I was surprised by how crazy in love with my husband I still am.

So while the Baby Moon was not exactly what I had thought it would be, it did give us the chance to have one last just us adventure so I am satisfied.
