SUMMER IS HERE:I have never felt more thankful to be a teacher! While I always take full advantage of my breaks, this one is longer than usual (3 weeks added due to AC installation) and thank the heavens for that :). I can lay on the couch in the afternoon for a cat nap (I swear it's as if I have have narcolepsy lately!), make a good snack and sit outside when I feel nausaous, or whatever I please!
MY LAST APPT.:I heard the heartbeat again...always a relief...and had blood drawn for the several tests they do. All came back negative and baby's hearbeat is where it should be, which is much faster than mine at 160/minute! Next apt. is a bit past the "halfway mark". I will be 22 weeks and we can find out the gender then, if desired. I still can't decide if we will or not...time to think about it, I guess!
CHANGES:We had a great vacation in California and I wasn't sick the entire time. It had been two weeks since I last got sick or felt sick...until today! My 18th week on the dot and I threw up this morning. Oh well..don't have to go to work, I remind myself. Really feel SO much better...just more sleepy but that could also be due to my strange sleeping patterns as of late. Have been feeling the baby for the last week...hard rolls replaced the "fluttering" feelings from a few weeks ago. Bizarre, but fun!
Happy Summer to you all...we'll keep you posted!
