Sick

Fortunately and unfortunately, the Rangers have made me more ill over the past 8 weeks, especially this past week, than anything that my sweet baby has caused me. I thank Tiny Taboggan for this but I dog-cuss the Rangers at the same time. Don't they know this kind of stress could be tough on my right now, mentally and physically. Ugh.

Like I said this has been a relativity easy 8 weeks so far. No terrible sickness to speak of, just some mild nausea at times. I have had the normal symptoms like a sensitive sniffer and headaches and extreme fatigue but nothing really to write home about. Funny/disgusting story. It was actually my sensitive sense of smell that led me to take a pregnancy test at week 3 before I had ever missed a period! August was here and that means new residents and fellows at work and I kept noticing that all I could smell was the horrible body odor smell of one of the new guys. I would ask other people if they could smell him and no one really made a big stink about it. On day 3 of smelling him constantly with an accompanying headache I just knew something was up. That is when I took my first pregnancy test of my life and it was positive. I was SHOCKED!  Craig can't believe that is all that led to me thinking I was pregnant but sometimes you know something just isn't right and it just wasn't right (or fair) that all I could smell all day was this horrible smell! 5 tests and one week later we finally believed the first test!

Craig and I are eagerly awaiting our first doctor appt this Friday (8/5)!! It feels like forever ago when I took those 6 tests said +,+,+,+,PREGNANT,PREGNANT and now we finally get to hear Tiny TaBoggan's heart beat! So Exciting!! I am eager to meet my new doctor and still a little sad that I have to leave my old one. Hopefully the new one will live up to all of the wonderful recommendations and make it easier to say bye to Dr. Davis-Herr. I hope she is calming and patient and laid back like Dr. Herr, I really liked that about her. I am sure Dr. J is great, she just has big shoes to fill. Although this is very real right now, I think it will become so much more real after we see our baby and hear its heartbeat! I cant wait!
