Day 58: Crosswords

I didn't do much of anything today.

I texted with Ty in my sleep at around 0930, then woke up for reals at 1100.  I ate some cereal, then as I sat at the table, I asked my dad what the answer to a crossword clue was... since it was sitting in front of me and I assumed he'd already finished it.

To my surprise, he said he didn't do the LA Times crossword, which is in the Sunday paper.  He got interested and began to work.  I helped on occasion, as I chatted with Ty, and in about 2-3 hours we had finished it.  It is a much larger crossword than the daily one in the AAS.  It was quite difficult and when there's a "theme," it becomes stupid at times.

Then I laid down for 20 minutes to rest my back and got ready to go to the grocery store with Mom.  It took a whole hour at HEB!  It didn't feel that long, but it was.  That seems like forever.  Plus, with the temps in the 100s, it's just misery walking to and from the car.  Not to mention, people stare at me like I have a third leg and arm.  I need a shirt or dress that says, "I'm 28 and my husband is in Afghanistan."  However, because of where we are, people just assume I'm a teenage slut.  When they look at me I want to say, "You know why my diamond is bigger than yours?  Because my husband is on his third deployment.  Stop judging me!"

I guess people don't look for diamonds on pregnant, young (looking) girls who are with their mother.  Though they do not need to stare and make things up in their head.  That's just mean and makes me feel bad.  I was a good girl -- I waited until after college, once I had a career, and I had a husband!  At least I know what it feels like to be looked at by strangers like I'm one of those slutty teens.  :(

We came home and I laid down... again.  I had to lay on an ice pack, as I do most of the time now in an attempt to keep the spasms at bay.

After dinner we watched some tv, then I showered.

In 44 hours, I'll be checking in at the hospital and in 55 hours, I'll be induced.  However, that's if I don't have the baby on my own before then.

I do plan on asking Dr. A if it's possible that my due date is miscalculated.  I did some checking, thinking, and minor research and I'm fairly confident that I'm right.

October 15: Ty takes me to pain clinic. I know I'm not preggo cause I started my P that morning or the day before.
November 16: But preggo tests -- Ty in CO
November 17: Take preggo tests -- positive
November 18/19: Take pic of preggo tests/ see Dr. Hall to confirm
November 20: Cancel laser hair removal on date of appt.
December 28: First ultrasound -- tell me I'm 9 weeks, not 11. (Taking 10-12 days "off")

The EPT: 5 days before missed period
1st Response: 6 days before missed period

... which means, at most, my period would have "started" on 23 November.
At the first ultrasound, they told me my "turnover" was every Friday.  Later in the pregnancy, they told me my "turnover" was a Wednesday.  Possibly, taking off more time?
