It exists! Shark Bait is really in there. Yup, that's right I am officially really pregnant. My first doctor's appointment was on Monday and it was all good news, thank goodness. First off, I got to hear the heart beat. I always love that. And second, there was only one heart beat (meaning I'm only having one baby.) Whew. Everything looked good. The doc said the heart beat was nice and strong, and it was the right size to be 14 weeks along, and that I should expect to have a nice boring pregnancy. Oh, he also said that because Lincoln came 10 days early that's a really good indicator that this baby won't go up to or past it's due date either. The due date being March 24th. So it's all good. Now I just have to get through the rest of this pregnancy.
This time around has been a lot harder than when I was pregnant with Lincoln. With Lincoln all I really remember is that I was always tired, like sleepy tired. And I'd just lie down, have a 3 hour nap and I'd be good to go. But this time, not only is a 3 hour nap a laughable concept with Lincoln around, but I've been a lot sicker. My nausea is slowly but surely fading away (thank goodness), but this last week or so there have been other issues. Like today for instance...I almost passed out at the grocery store. My friend and I were checking out a new farmer's market grocery store that opened recently, and while I was standing in line to pay all of a sudden the room started spinning and I crouched down. The cashier asked if I was alright, and I told her I was really dizzy. She said I should go sit down on the chairs outside. I gave Suzy my credit card so she could pay for my groceries and went out and sat down. When Suzy came out with her cart and mine, I fished out a banana and ate it. That made me feel somewhat better. At least I felt like I could drive home safely. But thank goodness I was with Suzy. I think we've decided that this has something to do with my blood sugar levels. I guess I need to be better about eating more frequently and about carrying around a snack with me at all times, just in case. But seriously, it's so annoying. Not to mention scary. And it never happened to me when I was pregnant with Lincoln, but lately it seems to be happening alot. Not quite as bad as at the store today though.
