Got back from my appointment!  I got to actually -hear- the heartbeat today, not just see it, like on the ultrasound at 9 weeks.  Heartbeat strong at about 160 bpm.  She talked to me about an infection that showed up from my last appointment, so I get to take antibiotics for a week, yay.  :(  Ah well, at least I know about it and can take care of ( Read more... )

I had a fairly nice weekend.  I held my students' recital on Saturday (the weather was gorgeous).  They all played really well, and I finally announced my "condition."  I hope they all understood why I was all over the place this semester...because I feel like I've been dropping the ball constantly these past few months.  Maybe it's just my ( Read more... )

So, I normally have rosacea.  And, guess what?  This week, it's gotten worse.  So, pregnancy is showing now on my face.  Fun!

And I have a family picture in a couple weeks...ohhh, exciting... ha

Another symptom.  Honestly, I really don't care much...just thought it was funny.

Ok, last busy weekend, over ( Read more... )

Had a great week last week.  All our friends know around here now, so it's a huge weight off our shoulders.  We had Thanksgiving with our friends and that was really nice.  We tried to really relax and stay in without doing much, so when it gets busy again, we'd have the energy.  On Sunday, I put up the Christmas tree.  Today, I feel like an old ( Read more... )

Wow, I just had a busy week.  I had a concert on Saturday that I had a few rehearsals for.  At rehearsal on Friday night, I started to get a pretty big headache, and it lasted the whole next day until the concert on Saturday.  Then, in the middle of the concert...gone.  Weird.  I took the whole day off on Saturday so I could try to get rid of the ( Read more... )

Monday is supposed to be my day off...

I woke up last night with a crampy stomach, so I got up an walked around for a bit and that helped.  I'm now starting to get muscle-pulling-like pains in my abdomen, and I'm assuming it's my uterus expanding and the muscles surrounding figuring stuff out.  It makes me giggle a little bit when I stand up too ( Read more... )

Scott and I have been talking a lot about the future and sharing the news and other such baby things.  Since our appointment is on Thursday, it's been in the forefront of his brain, so he brings it up a lot.  The biggest thing he asked me yesterday was when I wanted to change over the office, move it to the bedroom, and start buying baby stuff.  I ( Read more... )

I've been having some funny dreams lately.  I read in one of my books that dreams can be very vivid when pregnant.  Anyway, after that funny pregnancy dream a week ago or so, I haven't had any more, but I have had some funny ones ( Read more... )

Still doing well.  I went to my endocrinologist yesterday and got my blood drawn.  She called tonight and said everything looked good, so I don't need meds...yet.  I'll go back next month to check again ( Read more... )
