14th Week

This past week I spent a lot of time at school. Monday, I went to tell my principal I was pregnant. I was really nervous, but it went well. Tuesday, I went back to school to direct parents, teachers, and volunteers as to where all the teachers boxes were to go (which room, etc). On Thursday, Sam took the day off to go hear the heart beat with me. Our appointment was at 8:30. My doctor has 2 doctors offices (why, I don't know), so I called the day before to make sure I knew which office to go to (as I have gone to wrong one before). So, we leave at 7:45 just to make sure we have enough time in case there is traffic. As I am sure you have already guessed, we went to the wrong office. Evidently my questions to the secretary, the day before, weren't clear enough. So, after we got back in the car and drove to the correct office, it turns out, my doctor was running over 45 minutes late anyway.....so showing Sam where the other office was just must have been part of the plan, since I will be delivering up there anyway! In any case, we got to hear the heart beat and I cried. It was quick (since my doctor was still running late), and she only held the "doppler" there for about 10 seconds, but it was pretty awesome! I can't believe I now have to wait 4 more weeks just to hear it again and then another 4 weeks to get to see the gordita! I am sure once school starts, time will start to fly by! The upside to all of it is that in 8 weeks we get to see what we are having!! Yippee!!

So, I am now making my way (for real) into my 2nd trimester, and people keep telling me I am going to feel better any day now! Well, I am ready for it! I just have this constant ickiness about me. It is no fun. Last night, I took my first Tylenol since I have been pregnant to cure my pounding head. I was so excited that my headache went away and I wasn't nauseous. However, after sitting outside from 9:30 until 3:00 yesterday, at our community garage sale, my body was so tired and run down that going to sleep was quite an episode. Once asleep, however, I had a wonderful nights sleep.

We did go to a wedding shower last night as well, and I was distracted enough to have fun with some of Sam's old friends. Congrats again to Ami and Dave.

So, I start school tomorrow and will have to forget my days of sleeping in. I am truly sad about that. However, I guess I will be ready for it when the little gordita finally shows him/herself. So, wish me luck and I will update you again in another week or so!
