Life's Little Surprises

I'm gonna be a mom, again! Life is full of surprises, and this is a major one for me. I'll record my feelings, pregnancy progress, and general life happenings here.

Long time, no update

Gosh, it's been a while, huh? Truthfully, I just haven't felt like doing anything. Not to confuse anyone because I *am* feeling better, but I just don't feel like being friendly, I guess. The doc gave me new prenatals at the last appointment to help with nausea and fatigue. They work great. They are called PremesisRx. If I don't take my pill, I really know it. However, with the anticipated end of the first trimester coming, I have taken to having terrible headaches. I am used to migraines, but in the same token, used to meds I can take to help with those migraines. Now that I'm pregnant, those meds are a no-go. So, I suffer. I am on day 5 or something of a headache/migraine that won't go away. I have gotton a little relief with doc ok'd Sudafed, but it's just not cutting it. I just don't know what to do to feel better. The heat is making it worse, and I cannot get cooled off. I think the a/c is acting up in the house. Right now the thermostat says it's set on 70, but the temp in here is 78. I'm sweating like a you-know-what in church!! It's friggin' hot!

Other news-my belly is growing. I mean, not just distended bowel growing, but actual baby growing, I think. It's kinda neat, and I'm getting more and more used to the idea of a new baby. Sweetie is still stressed but he's excited about the baby too. He just wants to make sure we have the means to care for 3 children and still pay our current bills. It'll all be fine, I just have to start small and buy diapers and clothes a little at a time.

August seems to be the month for stuff to happen this year. Sweeties birthday, father-in-law birthday, 10 year class reunion, a party at my friends house, and we find out what the baby is. I don't know how I'll ever handle all the excitement! I really can't believe my class is finally having a reunion either. I mean, 10 years and I haven't heard hide or hair of these people, and now I'm considered MIA in the reunion plans. No biggie, I'll make my intent to attend known, but I just wonder how all will go. I mean, some of these people were so mean in high school, and some weren't. Some hated me, some loved me. Some who did love me, hate me now, and vice versa. And to top it all off, I'll be really showing when I go. How neat. Not.

Anyway, not much to report I guess. Just pray that I can convince Sweetie to go to the reunion with me. I'll try to update more often now. Prayers for no more headaches would be greatly appreciated. :)
