Preggo Update

-On Sunday morning, I felt little, happy (I think) baby flutters for the first time. It felt like bubbles. I am always amazed how neat it is to have a teeney tiny 5-inch person hanging out inside you.
-Gorbulas (4.5) tells me everyday, “Mommy, I like your bel-llee!”
I asked him why. I wanted to see if he understood why I am so round, or if just being round is intriguing to him, but all I get is “because, I like your bel-llee.”
-The diet has helped my syncope greatly and I continue to lose weight, but I am still queesy and extremely fatigued. I have stopped my morning work-outs because I cannot seem to get myself up at 5.30 AM
to work-out. I try to take walks during the day, but that is not really a “work-out” to me. Oh well.
My blood pressure has gone up a bit and is about 110/70 now. I hope that is not due to my current laziness. I have also been drinking iced coffees here and there for energy (and because they are yummy and a coffee with Splenda soothes my craving for sweets). This is not an everyday thing, but a once-in-awhile thing. I am such a light weight when it comes to any substances though, one iced coffee has me wired for hours and hours afterwards.
-Next week I see all my doctors and have an 18 week ultrasound.
