Today was my first visit from the ACT nurse. I'm part of a program that offers free visits from a nurse, in your home during your pregnancy and for (about) two years after your baby is born. They help teach you all the things you need to know, from pregnancy through breastfeeding and then some. I had been part of NFP, which was essentially the lower-level version of the ACT program. They decided to bump me up to the higher, more "qualified to deal with high-risk patients" nurses-- and to be honest, I'm glad they did.
The first lady who visited me from NFP was, in short, awful. She made me feel like everything I do was wrong. Take medication? Wrong. Be open about my past? Scooted to the other end of the couch. We weren't a very good match, to be completely honest.
Jeanette, the new worker who's visiting me, is absolutely amazing. She's managed to make me feel comfortable with pretty much everything. The medication I have to take? Good job, you're thinking about your health! You did XYZ? That's fine, were you safe about it? Overall, I had a great experience with her today.
And now, for something completely AWESOME:
I felt Stormageddon from the outside today! I had felt the little fish kicking in the same spot a few times, and so decided to put my hand on my belly to see if I could, possibly, feel him/her from the outside. The sprog did a full-on somersault and I felt it. It. Was. Amazing.
There isn't much else to update on today. Just anxiously awaiting Thursday, so I'll have a pronoun to use. : )
