Another appointment

At today's appointment, I was 15wks, 6days. Once you pass the first trimester, the pregnancy thing seems to speed up. We got to hear the heartbeat again--so exciting! I just love that sound. Today it was 156bpm. So beautiful. :) My bp was high again, and then lowered at the second reading. Apparently I've got a pattern going. As long as it keeps lowering, I'm happy. :) Weight: 126 3/4. Doc still isn't happy since I'm still below my original weight, but at least I'm gaining. And she doesn't even know about the extra 3 I lost--I have no intentions of telling her.

Our new car

I forgot. We did do something exciting. We bought a brand new car. We traded in the Grand Am and the Civic and got a 2006 Honda Accord. It's so much fun and it smells soooo good. Very pretty. :) Of course, we're poor people now, but it's okay. We're catching up and, surprisingly, this purchase is the first step in us being financially ready for me to quit my job in May so that I can sit on my hiney and be a stay at home mommy-to-be and mommy. It's fun. We're getting a lot of stuff paid off with tax returns next week, and getting satellite hooked up in the near future, too, so that while I'm sitting on my hiney I have something to do. :) Things are picking up--I feel so much less stress. Our main cause of stress and woe was having a new break on one of the cars--that problem is GONE. Anything goes wrong with this baby and we are COVERED. It already made some horrible sound when I released the parking brake a couple of days ago. Hazen wasn't with me but I told him about it and said I wanted it brought in and checked and what did his butt say? "If it does it again". Men.

Bittersweet day

Good news and bad news today. We'll start with the bad news: Today was my due date for my last pregnancy. I would be a mommy or VERY close to being a mommy today. Thankfully, I'm pregnant again with what seems to be a healthy baby, so it makes the day a little easier. Good news: Today I am 13 weeks--I'm in my second trimester!!! I can't believe I made it! No belly, just bloated. Kind of sad really. :) I've started weighing myself once a week, always on Saturday after breakfast. My weight today is 122. I've lost just over 5 pounds. My doctor has already been on me a little bit, and she only knows that I lost about two. Everything I've read says that it's normal to lose weight in the first trimester, so I don't know why she's making such a big deal--I didn't even lose that much.
