Rebecca's pregnancy journal - 17 weeks pregnant

 
17 Weeks

This last week has been very tough. All of us are sick with Olivia and I on antibiotics and my husband refusing to go to the doctor. We took the baby in the have her ears checked and for a script and ended up at the hospital having her checked for cancer. It seems that it was all just precautionary yet it was so frightening. She is so amazing and I never like thinking about terrible things happening to her or any child.

Anyway, I have been having contractions on and off and seem to have developed reflux. You'd think I'd be content with plain old heartburn but no! I HAVE to be different! I am so short tempered lately and I don't think anyone knows what to do with me.

We are in our fifth month, but I am four and a half months pregnant. It took me all afternoon to figure that out! I just feel so overwhelmed this week. I worry about the contractions. I need to keep up with Olivia. My husband is not home much and I am so tired. And everybody is sick and short-tempered. It all seems like a bunch of sap but I don't know what to do. I hate being so grouchy. Oh well. Maybe some sleep and a fresh day will help get things off to a new good beginning.
