1st Doctor's Appointment

On Friday, we went in for our first baby appointment. I had to give a urine sample, have a pap, and give blood, all of which were not very exciting. The exciting part was that they did this sonar thing and we got to see the itty bitty little baby and its heart flickering. It is too early to be able to hear the heart but it was sooo neat to get to see it beating. Daley totally had a better view of it than me because the midwife kept accidentally blocking my view. Wait though, let's back up.

Friday morning I had a chiropracter appointment. On my way home when I was almost back to my condo complex entrance, I was behind a dump truck, a gray unmarked dump truck. Well apparently his load wasn't covered and a huge piece of sheet metal flew out of the back of his truck and amazingly didn't hit me but I couldn't avoid running over it and it shredded my tire. BOOOOO! Now luckily Daley and I had been saving for new tires because I was going to need them soon anyway but we were hoping for a few more months on the ones I had. Unfortunately I didn't get the guy's license plate because I was trying to avoid the sheet metal and of course he didn't stop.

Whew, close call! Anyway, so then Friday night we went to the IMAX and saw "The Dark Knight", which was good although a really dark movie. The rest of the weekend I've been doing what I do all week, fighting my nausea.

Going to sound weird, but it worked for me. When I was pregnant with Matthew, my mother in law suggested this tip for morning sickness. And really, I was sick off an on all day, so I appreciated anything. A Pepsi. That's it. or 1/2 a pepsi maybe. I seem to remember often having an open can in the fridge. Anyhow, it was something about the cola and the sugar and the bubbles. And by the way, you still have 30 weeks to go. You really shouldn't be this out of it so early!!!
