First Dr's Appointment

I wouldn't really call it my first appointment though. When I got there I had to fill out all the lovely paperwork, pee in a cup :), get weighed, check blood pressure, and talk to the nurse about what prenatal vitamins I'm taking. I didn't even see the nurse practitioner. I also got my lab paperwork so that I can get those done. The nurse told me to wait a few weeks before I get them done because I'm only eight weeks.

My next appointment should be my first appointment where I will see Dr Long, who should be back from having knee surgery. Hopefully we will be able to hear the heart beat at that one. My 12 week appointment when I was pregnant with Claire we couldn't hear it. :(

On another note, I am still feeling better as long as I eat every 2 hours. That's not easy though because I'm so picky about what I eat because I'm afraid I'll get sick. What's weird is that the better I feel the more tired I get! Is that normal? I literally had to drag myself out of bed this morning at 8:30, and I'm usually up earlier than that.

This pregnancy is SO different compared to Claire's! Maybe this one's a boy! ;)We hope.

Feelin Good

I have been morning sickness free all day! Yay!! I've also had a lot of energy. I was able to do much needed laundry, unload and load the dishwasher, and clean my bathroom. The only thing is that I have to eat like every 2 hours, or I start to feel sick. I hope this lasts. It's been a productive and relaxing day. I've enjoyed it!

Awesome stroller

I saw this stroller and love it! I've had a single jogger, but now that I am expecting another baby this double would be awesome. I LOVE that the front wheels rotate. My other one didn't, and it was hard to turn when running. I hope to get one of these! Maybe I'll win this one. I never win anything though!

Just wondering...

why we forget how bad pregnancy is??? I am so sick and tired! I literally have NO energy. I can't even cook without almost passing out. If I stand up more than a minute or two I get really light headed. I know it will be so worth every minute once the baby gets here, but until then...

I'm really not complaining. I begged Kevin for this, so I'm more than willing to deal with it. I hope I feel better in a few weeks.

The 44th President of The United States

To be honest, I did not vote for Obama, but he is our president now. I support him 100%. I can only pray that he leads our country in a way that is pleasing to our Heavenly Father and that is right for our country at this time. It is a time of trials and uncertainty, and it is going to take a strong and determined man to bring it back to where it needs to be. This is such a historic time, and I am so thankful that I have had the opportunity to witness it!

I am thankful for the service of President Bush and his cabinet. I support him in the things that he has done for the better of our wonderful land!

President Obama's speech was uplifting but realistic. I hope he continues to lead that way. The leaders of our country are continually in my thoughts and prayers, and I hope they are in yours!

Reminiscing

I am in the middle of tweaking my power point presentation that I have to give at Enrichment and was going through pictures to add to it when I came across this picture. This is one of my favorite pictures of Claire and Me. She was such a beautiful baby and is now a gorgeous little girl!

It starts...

I was really hoping I would not get "morning sickness" with this pregnancy, but that didn't happen. I started feeling queasy Tuesday. It wasn't bad though. This morning I woke up and am not feeling so good. Claire and I stayed in bed until about 8:30am. I turned on cartoons for her, and I tried to get some more rest and fight back the horrible nausea feeling.

I was blessed this morning though. My Enrichment assistant called me and said that I didn't have to get out of the house and help set the church up for Enrichment night. She is going to get the Relief Society president to help her. I don't even feel like going tonight, but I have to give a power point presentation over visiting teaching. I'll probably stay for that and then leave. Maybe it won't be as bad as it was with Claire. I don't see how if could get worse than that. *knock on wood!*
