On a Roll!
Yesterday I went to my first "baby" doctor's appointment. It was pretty routine-- blood and urine samples, blood pressure, weight. Women of the world you need a strong self-esteem before you get pregnant.
Hearing the heart beat was pretty cute. The sneaky little thing kept moving. I always knew our child would be agile. I can't image how amazing and ultrasound will be.
I have to say pregnancy has kind of put me in a lazy slump. I was excited to have a productive relaxing summer break and then the sickness hit,that terrible puking-all-day-no-matter-what-I-do this-will-be-our-only-kid kind of sickness many of you women know well. And now that I take Unisom I feel mostly all the way good. Certainly good enough to actually do things but I've lost my momentum. I just don't feel like doing anything. Probably the heat adds to my lethargy. Gian has been good at supporting me. He called a family goal setting meeting. Its been fairly effective. At least its got me in the mindset and actually itching to do things again. I've been doing pretty well. Like today I went out to lunch with great friends AND cleaned the toilet!! And I've exercised 2 days in a row.
I'm on a roll. Hopefully this roll will roll me enough to get me back to my old self.

I don't think I can say enough how excited I am for you both.
Andrea,
The laziness, I'm sorry to say, will continue. It's okay, you are growing a baby, you need the rest. But do stay active, what you do now makes a difference for the last trimester.

Ya, the- wanting to throw up all the time -was a big part of my pregnancy as well. I was miserable and everyone around me knew it. It started to fade at about 6 months (maybe). I didn't want to do anything b/c I didn't feel well but doing nothing didn't help either.
I'm so excited for you. Time will fly by and soon you will feel much better.
i wish i could be there to exercise with you. i love our summer runs.
I would make a to do list and be happy if I got one thing done. I am totally impressed you went out and cleaned the toilet.
I'm just catching up on reading the blogs of everyone I know and found that you guys are pregnant! Congrats! Hooray for babies!
