One more week

Next Monday is my first appointment! Lovely.

Last week was a crappy one for me. I just was in a strange slump and feeling down. I felt a bit queasy some days, but not completely nauseous. But, today I feel a bit better.

I went to water aerobics tonight. I'm not sure if I will be able to do that next semester. I may see if there is a prenatal pilates class at Essex or something. We'll see.

My cousin gave me her maternity clothes to go through. Yeah, I won't be able to wear much. Besides the fact that I can't even fit into any of the pants, all of the shirts are short sleeved. I have a few short sleeves on hold for the end of it all, but I will have to pick up some long sleeves and some pants eventually. I need to find some "cheap" plus sized clothes.

Okay, that's it for now. I'm so tired, I hope I can last for Heroes!

Sleep!!

I got to sleep in just a little bit today. I had a dentist appointment at 8:45 and since the office is by OPI, I just came to work afterwards. They fixed the crown and put a crappy temporary one on for now. I go back on the 11th for the permanant one. They said everything was safe, even the x-ray because they put that big cover over me. So, that's half done.

I am just so extremely tired! I know this part shouldn't last for too long, but wow! I guess I had forgotten just how wiped you can get. And this time I'm not even on my feet all day like last time! But, I guess having a three-year-old doesn't help much.

The dreams are starting. I never remember my dreams normally, but even though I couldn't tell you what they were now, they have definitely been more vivid lately.

This pregnancy just feels different in so many ways. With Carter, of course, I had a lot of stress around this point of it all, but I still was extremely excited. This time, while I'm very excited, I'm also a bit blase about it all. I guess because when we tell someone, there isn't that surprised shock. Everyone is pretty much expecting it. But that's not it. There is something else there that I just can't put my finger on. Maybe the slight fear of having two children to manage. Maybe the fact that I'm trying to go to school at the same time. (That story will be in my LiveJournal soon) I have no clue, but this go-round is definitely different.

I know one thing. I miss my friends this time. I enjoy the people I work with, but we don't have that bond that I had with the BNers. I don't have that closeness, that bond, that I had before. *sigh* It sucks growing up and apart!

Dentists and pregnancy

So, we came home from Gabriel's party tonight after Carter had somehow suddenly spiked a fever. He was exhausted so we called it a night early. I'm sitting here on the couch after cleaning up a bit in case we have to have the party tomorrow here instead of Pizza John's and I'm snacking on some Cheez-Its. Suddenly, I have a piece of tooth in my hand. Luckily, it's part of a crown, so I'm not in any pain.

But, now what? Can they do a crown repair while I'm pregnant? I never went to the dentist while pregnant with Carter so I've never even gotten a cleaning during this time. I have to call them on Monday since they are closed on Sundays. Not that I would have a chance to go tomorrow anyway. So, we'll see what this next episode involves!!

mmm Possibly a first craving?

At the end of the road with my pregnancy with Carter, I ending up wanting Dr. Pepper again. I had stopped drinking it regularly a while prior to getting pregnant but started wanting it again. I even sent Chris on a search of the hospital vending machines to find me one!

So, I think it's back. Early this time. But it sucks because I told myself that I would limit my caffeine intake to just my morning coffee. Now, I'm having that plus a soda later in the day. A test of willpower will soon emerge. Next week, I will not buy a soda. If I want something besides my Crystal Light flavored water, I will...think of something. But no soda!!

Boohoo

Chris just called me. He is going to be in Mississippi the first week of November. That means he misses the first doctors appointment. I know that there are going to be hundreds more that he will get to go to, but it bums me out a bit. He didn't get to experience this the last time.

Oh well. I'll get over it.

The first PG cold...

I can't believe it, but I already have my first full-blown cold of this pregnancy. It started to creep up on my Saturday evening and then hit me full force on Sunday. I muddled through work yesterday but decided to call out today. I can't take anything. I broke down and took some Tylenol earlier for the headache.

So, hopefully this will be over soon.

One set down!

Last night, Mom and Dad picked up Carter from daycare and took him to Dairy Queen for dinner. Chris and I decided to go out ourselves to eat. After we were done, we went to their house to pick him up. I whispered in Carter's ear to say that he was going to be a big brother. They were surprised but Emily was shocked. So, they know. We are probably going up to Delaware on Sunday to tell his parents.

I am just so tired. By the time I got home yesterday, I was wiped out. I laid on the couch while Chris got ready to go out. Then I crashed as soon as I got home. But, I know it just gets worse!!
