Moment of panic...

Ok...so maybe getting a fetal doppler has it's drawbacks. I had been able to find the heartbeat quickly over the past week or 2 and last night, I just couldn't find it. My heart was sinking especially since I felt great yesterday and had energy from I don't know where. Finally, after about 20 minutes of trying, I heard the heartbeat. It kept disappearing so I guess even now, our little one it still moving around in there. Whew! It was such a relief to hear. And can I just say without jinxing anything, I really DO feel great? The fatigue has lifted. I was able to put the tree away yesterday and get my house back to normal. Today I cleaned out a closet, did laundry, cleaned most of the house, broke the sugar bowl cover and glued it all back together with Krazy glue. It may not sound like much but I've been in a vegetative state for the past few weeks.

I am having trouble remembering things. A few weeks ago, I was leaving for work and had NO thought to the fact that Chris's car was parked behind me in the driveway. I wouldn't even have looked had he not come out of the house shaking his head dangling his keys at me. I thought he was telling me I took the wrong keys off the key rack. If he hadn't come out, I would of popped my car in reverse and let the car start rolling out. We live on a dead end street so there's no chance of anyone coming so I rarely look in my rear view mirror when I'm backing up. Trust me, that will change once our little one is here and mobile. Almost a big oops!

My next OB appt. is on Wednesday. I'm dreading the lecture about my weight. I guess I got a little carried away around Christmas and New Year's. Plus my appetite was returning and I felt like I had to make up for lost ground. Oh well, I may need to breastfeed till I'm 50 to lose all this weight afterwards!
