Lately I have been feeling a bit more energetic. Maybe because I added the Slow FE to my daily vitamin regime, maybe I'm adjusting to the hormones, who knows? I still have a sensitive stomach and a craving for everything junky. ( Why can't I crave a salad , for pete's sake?)
Anyway, my first Dr. appointment was yesterday. Aside from having a completely incompetent nurse my appt. went well. Dr. did an internal U/S and I got to see my little babe. Everything is just as it should. It' s little heart was beating away. What a lovely sight. i am measuring 3 days ahead but i am sticking with my calculated EDD of march 2.
The nurse initially was very flustered when i explained that my LMP was not going to accurately tell her my due date...but i did know my conception day! Boy, was I glad when the Dr. came into the room at that moment because the nurse was complately lost. She calculated my EDD as April 17! The nurse even admitted to me that I was her first OB patient and she wasn't sure what to do. She walked in on me when i was attempting to redress after my exam. "I won't look" ,she said. Ugh, she was a fruitcake!
My next appointment in scheduled for August 23.

Soooo tired!
Sometimes I feel like a horrible mom! I'm so tired all the time and I just want to rest or sleep. Well, obviously with Seth around I cannot do either. He is so active and always wants me to "Come" and he grabs my hand and leads me somewhere all the time. David tries to go so that I can rest( In the eves when he's off work, of course) but many times Seth only wants me.
I seem to have a tough time sleeping for some reason, even though I'm exhausted all of the time! I don't know if it's a pregnancy thing or if it's the fact that Dr. told me to stop taking my Lexapro because of the pregnancy? I don't know, all I know is even when I have slept well I am still exhausted.
I guess I should be feeling fortunate since that is basically my only pregnancy symptom. But I cannot wait until this fatigue passes and I can feel normal again.
I don't feel queasy anymore, when I do it's for only a short period of time and it passes quickly. But I notice that i am more sensitive to nasty smells or foul-appearing things. For instance, I used to have a stomach of steel. Nothing bothered me. But now if I were accidentally come in contact with someone elses phlegm, I might just start to become very nauseated.
I think my boobs are bigger, ick. They were big enough! They are a little sore on the outsides though.
I scheduled my first Dr. appt. for July 24 and they will do an ultrasound then.
Apparently David saw this girl that we used to know and told her the news. She had a hard time believing it since I hadn't been off the pill very long when I got pregnant. I reminded David that people get pregnant on the pill all the time. All it takes is to miss one!! I took another EPT test to prove it though. In addition to the previous 4 tests I had already taken that were all positive!
Geeez! Leslie is a know-it-all though. She was a friggin lab tech years ago, how does that make her an expert on medical info? I would think that since I'm a nurse that my knowledge of the human body would be reliable. Heck, I don't know it all but I'll admit it if I don't know something.
David also had said recently that Walter's girlfriend is already " showing" ( getting fat) She is two weeks ahead of me and she works part time and doesn't have a 21 month old boy. If I didn't have anything else to do I'd probably sit on my butt and eat all day. I'd probably be getting fat,too.
Last time I checked I weighed 117 lbs. Most of that is probably my boobs. I'm in no hurry to pack on the pounds. Last time I gained 40, I'm hoping not to do it again. It took a year post partum to lose it all, and I had to do ALOT of walking.
Seth and I went to the pool today and we had a very fun time! It's beautiful out right now, but I saw some storm clouds forming. Right now he's watching " Jack's Big Music Show". I love him so much. I have to watch what I say these days since he repeates eveything almost! He's a really good kid. Happy, very loving, active, and I think he's very smart! I hope baby #2 will be as great as he is! I think another boy would be neat. david's hoping for a girl though. Either way we'll be happy. It will be a surprise like last time.
