Sick Again...

Got sick again today. This time I gagged myself while brushing my teeth. That wasn't fun - almost made me late for work. I hate throwing up. Hopefully this will be the last time.

ZZZZZZZ....

I was so tired at work today that I actually had to leave for a little bit to go home and lie down!! It was that bad! I can't handle too many days like this. It's hard enough working in a quiet office all day long, but to add the exhaustion of pregnancy to that... I need to make a bed under my desk like George did on Seinfeld. That would be great. I would sure take advantage of it! John got his DSL today.

He's been upstairs with it - I'm sure I'll never see him again. hehe!

Cravings...

Had my first big cravings today - first for ice cream and then for pizza. Didn't get either one, but MAN did I want them!!!!

Icky "Morning" Sickness

I've been nauseous off and on for the entire pregnancy so far, but no throwing up. Until today. I came home at lunch and caught a whiff of SOMETHING (who knows what, it was just something stale smelling) and it sent me into gag mode. I did my best to convince myself that I was NOT going to be sick, but I ended up giving in. I'm just glad I hadn't eaten lunch yet. That would have been so horrible.

Silver Dollar City

Since John's mom and all his sisters (plus Nikolas) were here this week, we (of course) had to make a trip to Branson. We drove up there yesterday and went to the park for about long enough to get wet. Everyone was hungry, and so we left to go eat at McDonalds. We made it back to the park just in time to exchange the girls' tickets for the 2 day pass. We stayed at the Bradford in the Loft - LOTS OF FUN. I of course went to bed early. I was so tired. Should have had more water! Sunday morning we all got up bright and early and went downstairs for breakfast (yum!) and then headed off to SDC. It was SUPER hot out, but we had a good time. Everyone rode the rides except me (and Nikolas), but I was fine with that - seems like I spent most of the day chugging water and running to the bathroom. We ended up leaving a little early because a really bad storm was moving in. But we beat it and made it home at a decent hour. John still had to drive to Vinita to drop all the girls (and Nikolas) off with Greg, who met him there. Glad he didn't have to drive all the way to Sapulpa!!! That would have made for a very long day for him.

Dr's Appointment - Heartbeat

Well, the baby has been dubbed "Whatsit" by my mom and dad. Guess they didn't like "Cricket." Oh well. Because of the 4th of July, I couldn't have my monthly appointment on Monday like usual - so I had to go today. Because it was a normal workday for John, he couldn't go with me... I got to my appointment and got called back. The nurse weighed me (I've lost a pound), and the took me to my exam room. She got out the doppler and told me that she'd try to find the heartbeat, but to not get my hopes up too much because I wasn't far along enough for there to be any promises that we'd hear it. But she found it in about 1/2 second. She didn't even have to try!! It was SO great. I can't believe John missed it! It was just thunking away in there - she didn't tell me how many beats per minute it was going, but it was quick! I ended up not feeling well this afternoon, so I took the afternoon off to go home and lie down. So glad I have sick days to use!!!
