Summer fall!

So now... we did the second ultrasound and it was so much fun to see the little baby girl again. She has everything she needs and all in the right places, and I am a lot relieved now.
I am doing good and energetic and this is a great thing since everything around me is falling apart and I am the only one able to put pieces together.

Andrea and I got back from Rome and Andrea had some cough and back pain. On Monday, after the ultrasound, we had to rush to the doctor because Andrea was not able to walk properly anymore... the pain in the back was too much and the normal analgesic was not enough. The doctor prescribed a bunch of injections of analgesic and other cortisone-based drugs for the back pain (he has one or more herniated disc) and some drops and antibiotics for the cough since it looks like he has a thing in his lungs that may start pneumonia.
Two days ago I drove for 100kms to take Andrea to an hospital where they could make a Magnetic Resonance. He was totally in pain and the doctor had to give him 2 shots of very strong analgesic and later put him on a wheelchair to undergo the exam. We'll have the results in a week. We should also find a doctor to visit him but sounds like they are all on vacation in some exotic island on a private yatch.

Yesterday Monocolo (the cat) stopped peeing. And I know that this is a really bad thing. So after I've been around the whole morning for gyno visit, and other burocratic practices for work and grocery shopping... I took Monocolo to the veterinary hospital (since his vet is in vacation), they gave him a couple of shots, gave him an ultrasound and said that if he was not going to pee in the next 24 hours we had to bring him back to the hospital and hospitalize him so they can put a little catheter to help him.
I basically did not slept the whole night monitoring Monocolo and his visit to the box. At 5.30 he finally peed!!!

So no mountains for now... I need to go there on the 30th of August anyhow because one of my cousin is getting married. But I wanted to go there a little earlier so to have a walk on the beautiful mountains around there... but it's not the case since all the things happening...
I hope that in 10 days I will still fit in the outfit I have so that I don't have to spend useless money for an ugly maternity dress.

I hope today is a good day. Lots of good day wishes for you!!

Do you want to talk about maternity clothes?

Creepy Pacgirl at 21st week!

It's official... I don't fit in my normal trousers anymore. I usually have very very large trousers in my wardrobe but I had to give up and got into one of those maternity dress shop. I was disgusted. Fashion is nothing accepted by mom-to-be...
I have been very proud of my not gaining too much weight (I must thank the nausea of the first months and now the gastric reflux for not allowing me to indulge in every food in sight)... but now I am starting looking like a little whale... and I feel I will soon look like a big one.
At this point I guess some pregnant women do feel the same as I do. So now somebody must explain me why the only trousers I found (except those jeans I'm wearing) were all pink, yellow or light green fabrics... not to mention orizontal stripes t-shirts and things like this.
I don't think I'll ever be able to get dressed like a gigantic hot-air balloon even if I'll look like it anyhow.
I am frustrated with that silly topic but those are other difficulties of pregnancy.

So now... I am basically using those trousers and another one I am still able to fit in, plus a couple of large dress.... I'm curious how I'll dress next.

I am sorry for the repetition of the basic topic.
I just got back from a week in Rome where we laid on the hot beach and tried to relax a little.
In the next 3 days I have blood exams, ultrasound and gyno visits to undergo... than I'll probably drive to the mountains to breath a little fresh air.

IT'S A GIRL!
