Thanks for the advice about the heartburn. I bought some Tums and they've been working wonders. Phew!
I had a scary moment yesterday at work. I was in the middle of teaching a lesson when all of a sudden I felt as though I'd pass out. I walked over to my desk where there was a lovely muffin waiting for me and promptly stuffed it in my mouth. I told the kids I'd have to sit down for the rest of the lesson. They were very sweet and understanding! I was truly scared, as I've never experienced this before. I called my mom at lunch and she said it used to happen to her when she was pregnant, and that it's just my low blood pressure/low blood sugar. So now I know that I should keep food IN MY POCKET for emergencies such as this!
So..the weeks are moving right along, and I'm certainly comforted by my expanding belly. Of course I am counting the days til our BIG ultrasound because once we know the gender, the REAL planning can begin. I haven't even really seriously planned the nursery yet, and of course need to start getting serious about names, etc.
Hope everyone is enjoying Spring so far!
I can't believe you're already 17 weeks. For a second, I couldn't figure out how you passed me, but then I realized that I'm 18!!! Crazy how it's flying by now. I've been getting dizzy spells too which is a huge nuisance and always freaks me out!
ReplyDeleteI believe it is time for a belly picture!!!
ReplyDeleteOmg, 17 weeks, wow! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteWow! Exciting!!! Girl, stock up on mini muffins for your desk :) Or what I would do, bring a mini cooler and pack it with juice and goodies haha Put a little sign on it saying "I'm pregnant. Back up off my snacks." :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 17 weeks! Definitely keep some snacks on hand - you certainly don't want to pass out in class (or at all, really :))!
