Why do doctors get paid so much?
Today was another one of my Doctor visits with my obgyn. I don't understand why they get paid so much! All he did was come in, ask me how I am feeling, measured my belly and found the heart beat of the baby. I guess if I was at high risk I would feel a little different about doctors, but right now I think they are over rated. :) (That's partly a joke)
I have many doctor apts. I have to go see my thyroid doctor every month, and a week before seeing him I have to have my blood taken. Which to me that's the same as going to see a doctor. Then, I went to the dentist last week for a check up (because all the books say to do so) and I have to go back on Thursday for my cleaning. Then on Monday I went to the vision doctor to see if my prescription has changed, because of the horrible headaches I have been getting. Come to find out I have chronic dry eye. Not to serious, moderate is what he said. But I guess when my eyes dry out I strain them because my vision gets worse as they dry out. While I was there I also got contacts for the first time. What a trip that was, trying to put contacts in for the first time. I was there for 1 hour trying to put them in!
So, as you can tell my life is filled up with doctors apts. Can anyone say cha ching $$$. We have really good insurance that covers dental, vision, and exams but we already have accumulated $2,000 in medical bills!!! (that's after the insurance) AND we are only 17 weeks pregnant! I hope it gets better from here.
I have been feeling really good. I did get sick a couple times in last couple of weeks but it was nothing major. The biggest battle I am fitting is my sinuses. I have always had sinus problems but lately they are a lot worse and causing some horrible headaches. And what sucks is there is nothing I can do about it. My doctor told me today to take Tylenol, but anyone who's had a bad headache knows that Tylenol doesn't even touch it. So I have proceeded to spending a lot of money on nasal cleansing methods and sprays, but for me its not working very well.
Next Friday is the big apt and I cant wait. Time is going by so slow!
I am not feeling much of the baby. I cant tell if its gas or baby. I let you know when I have that first kick that you can see from the outside. I think that wont happen for another 4-5 weeks but I will keep you updated.
Well that's all for now, I'll let you know if anything else new happens.....

I am feeling much better ! Not much has changed since the last time I blogged. My finger nails are growing at a rapid past from the vitamins.
I am becoming more and more excited. Which is making time go slower and slower. We have our big doc apt in 2 1/2 weeks to find out what it is. To be honest I am more excited for Jamie to see an ultra sound then I am to find out what it is.
What do you guys think ?.... Boy? or Girl?.....

I felt something!
It was about a week ago that Jamie and I were clearing out the babies room, and when I sat down to take a break I felt some flutters. Like little gas bubbles with out the gas. I didn't say anything to Jamie, cause I thought that you weren't supposed to feel anything until later. Well, since then, I have felt more flutters. Just now when reading Mallory's blog I think I felt him kick. It wasn't flutters, it was like a spasm. Like a little kick! I think I could get used to this pregnancy thing :)
Comming up on 15 weeks!!!
Can you believe we will be 15 weeks pregnant this Friday! Thanks God! We made it. We made it past the hell stage. I am feeling much better! I think with the combination of my new thyroid medicine and coming out of the 1st trimester I am a new person. I have lots more energy and the fog/ depression has lifted. Now, My relationship with God isn't what I would like it to be, but that will take time.
Its been over a week and a half since the last time I got sick. yeah!!!!
My mom and I went shopping the other day and we bought lots of stuff at the consignment shop for $100. We bought and pooh crib set (bumper, ruffle, headboard pad, blanket) a pooh blanket and pillow, baby bath, pooh night light, pooh pictures (5), itzy bitzy spider bouncer, and a boppy pillow! Can you believe that? All for $100. I love consignment. That was the first real things I have bought for the baby and it was really exciting. (well, mom bought, but you know what I mean) We have an apt on July 31st to find out if its a boy or girl!! We were thinking about keeping it a secret. What do you think?
