I learned something new and helpful last night whilst watching Rick play Alan Wake on the 360... pregnancy and survival horror are not a good combo. Good to know.
Big day today!
- I had my first workout since we found out about the baby. Made it an easy one, since I need to be more aware of my body and its responses to the machines, but it felt good. Well, for the most part. I had an ugly bout of morning sickness, so I was grateful for the stretching and water post-workout. Especially for the part when I stopped moving around. Geh.
- We visited a house for sale. We discussed options for living arrangements. At first, both of us were reluctant to give up certain personal spaces in this house (both of us do need some 'me' space), which led to the discussion of how this house might not work for raising a small child. So we looked around, and scheduled an appt to see a house a few blocks away. There were a lot of good things about it... and some really bad things. But the best thing about the experience was both of us coming to the realization that our house is in better shape and worth a LOT more than we thought, so why not do some serious brainstorming and plotting and make it work? We sat down over lunch and discussed our thoughts. Found out we were thinking exactly the same things and were completely on the same page. Now we're happy with an outline of how to stay where we are but get what we want. If the perfect house shows up, great! Otherwise, we're gonna make this one as perfect as we can. Felt good to be so in sync with each other.
- First appointment at our clinic! YAY! We just love these 2 ladies. Sounds like things are progressing normally for me, and we have no reason to be worried so far. Had to pee in a cup and have my blood drawn, but somehow it didn't bother me quite as much as usual. Probably because I'm willing to do just about anything to make sure this baby is as healthy as possible. Even if it means facing down needles a few times. (Did I really just say that? Ew.) My ultrasound is scheduled for next week, so we can get a better idea of fetal age and see whether or not there are twins.
Other than that, I'm hormonal. Weepy, cranky, puky, you name it. Today is the worst queasiness I've had since the day I puked. Can't seem to get my tummy to calm down. I'll go drink something bubbly and see if that helps. I've also had hiccups for the 2nd time this week. I rarely get them, thus I've noticed. I wonder if that's part of pregnancy, or just a side effect of icky tummy and prenatal vitamins? Hmm. Any which way, I'm SO glad I don't have rehearsal tonight! Pretty sure Shakespeare never intended Balthazar to barf in the middle of "Sigh no more, ladies." But then, he also probably never intended Balthazar to be played by a pregnant woman. Or a woman at all. You know, whatever.
