Gas Gas Gas

Yup. I'm having lots of gas.

LOTS of gas.

I had my 30th birthday on Wednesday and must have celebrated too vigorously, because I spent yesterday and now today in pain. LOTS of gas. Uncomfortable gas in the abdomen that doesn't leave. And the intestines are squished in with the almost-17-week-old baby (almost 19 weeks pregnant), so there's not a lot of room for the gas to go. And the antibiotics that I was on recently probably didn't help my intestines, either. Looks like I'm back to Boost tonight for dinner.

Sigh.

Hopefully my body will calm down soon and I can get back on track.

Nothing new

My mom or mom-in-law (I can't remember--remember how pregnancy affects your memory?) asked me this weekend about updating my blog. I said that I hadn't updated it yet because I didn't have much to say on the Crohn's front.

I'm doing well! I find that I need to be careful about gassy foods, because they'll create EXTRA gas for me, with my pregnancy hormones slowing down my intestines. But I am not eating especially strictly or anything.

I haven't had Crohn's pain in awhile. I am sleeping well, though not enough, and hope to manage the stress of the vacations and move that we just had so that I won't flare. I am on antibiotics for an infection right now and am going strong with the probiotics, so hopefully nothing exciting will happen.

So, there you go. Beautifully boring! Maybe I'll post a photo of my pregnant self soon.
