almost better

Well, I'm feeling tons better. Just a little sore throat. It's not that bad. Seems everyone (big or small) is getting sick around me. Winter must be on its way!

Still no real symptoms. Maybe some swollen fingers at night. I'll ask the doctor next Monday when I see him if it's normal.

I keep (stupidly) reading information on pregnancy (even though I've done it before) and trying to determine how mine is going. I'm insane. When you get pregnant, there is this chemical released in your body called hCG. Many doctors use this (via drawing blood) to determine if your pregnancy is going ok. Sadly, I believe by reading articles on the internet I can figure out my numbers and see if my pregnancy is going ok. I'm insane.

Wondering if the morning sickness is going to come. No signs yet. And as for the fatigue - since I managed to get my big bootie to Goodlife last night, I'm really not the pooped. I think I'm just more lazy than anything.

This is the part I hated most in my last pregnancy. There are so many things I want to do - but I know I should wait until 3 months to do any of them. Maybe I'll make a list so when it hits 3 months, I will have my thoughts handy. The first 3 month wait is yucky. They do say that when you hear a heartbeat, your chances of miscarriage goes down dramamtically. I wonder if at 6 weeks you can hear a heartbeat. Maybe next Monday I'll get to hear it? Hopefully. If not, soon enough. If there is one thing I've learned, is that 9 months is a long time. The first 8 months feels like 2 weeks and the last month seems like 9 years. And with this being my last pregnancy - I think, I want to enjoy each moment of it.

I still wonder how I can love another beautiful baby as much as Hannah. I know people actually do, but I still wonder. Hannah is sooooo incredible! She is everything to me. She is my best friend, my daugher, my buddy, my poochie, my kickles, my giggles, my sunshine .... my everything. Yes, even when she cries real loud. And yes, even when she wasn't sleeping through the night she was still my perfect daughter.

Too bad Hannah wants to play with other kids/toys rather than her parents :( She's very independant.

Have a super Tuesday!
