Pregnancy symptoms

Isn't it funny that God made pregnancy symptoms so similar to PMS symptoms? I mean, the bloating, irritability, boobs hurting, hormones all crazy, nausea. I think God played a little joke on us women, especially those who are trying to get pregnant. You go several day before you start wondering if it's PMS or a bun in the oven.

Last week when I took the test I felt like I had been run over by a truck, I was so tired. This week I cut a little break with the snow and ice. I worked from home 3 days which means I didn't get up to 7:00-8:30 and stayed in my pajamas all day. Last night Tad and I had an early dinner at the EP Tavern (don't worry, we went early and sat in a far booth to avoid the smoke inhalation) and then I came home and was in the bed before 8:00. Talk about L-A-Z-I-N-E-S-S. Guess what? Same thing tonight. Tad is at the Thrashers' game with friends and I'm in the bed with the pups. Watching 24 on the laptop, of course. I bet I'll be asleep by 9:30. :)

The biggest news of the day is that I made my first doctor's appointment. January 26th at 3:00. Can't wait! I've known for a while that I wanted to use a midwife (more coaching and time with you, less drugs, less likeliness of c-section, less tearing) and I have heard great things about Intown Midwifery. The founder of the practice has delivered over 5000 babies! I was just keeping my fingers crossed they were in network. When you have a high deductible plan/HSA like Tad and I do, it makes a difference. Thankfully I looked up their back-up OB who they do their billing through and he's in. Awesome. I'm excited to hear the baby's heartbeat!

  1. I love this article! By the way, do you know that studies show that women whose body mass index (BMI) is below 20 or above 30 have a harder time getting pregnant, so it’s a good idea to try to get yourself into the 20 to 30 range before you start trying.
