Fill 'er up Joe!

I meant to post on Tuesday night, but never got around to it. I went in for my first fill on Tuesday afternoon.  I had blogged about my apprehension....it was so unnecessary!!! I was really nervous when I got there - my hands were sweaty and my stomach was doing flips!! When she was finished I was like..."that's it! You're already done!?" I'm glad it was nothing though!!! I have had a little bit of discomfort since my fill, but nothing bad and they said that it's normal.  I haven't eaten much in the way of solid foods so I'm still waiting to see if I notice a difference when I'm eating.  I have been so swamped this week at work that I have been working through lunch and usually trying to eat a yogurt between classes.  That makes for a starving Monica when school is out.  Hopefully things will slow down a little next week. The great news is that I lost 3.2 pounds!!!!!!! Go me!!!
We are headed out of town to LUbbock tonight - GO Red Raiders!! They are playing Texas A&M - hoping for a huge upset and sending those Aggies home crying! :)

  5. Hi Monica. Congrats on your first fill. I was a little apprehensive before my first, but it was so much easier than my amniocentesis! I hope you get good restriction and the pounds drop. Vicky sent me, too.

  10. It's just kind of random when someone decides to plan something. I'll definitely email you when I have details, but they are talking about maybe the 2nd weekend in November for our next get together.

    Beth Ann's blog has the info so you probably want to follow her too! http://neverendingquestforsomething.blogspot.com/2011/10/do-you-live-in-texas.html
