Well we just returned from my college roommate Robin's wedding in Lubbock. What fun. Simon and I were so happy we drove. A pregnant girl has to pee a lot and being able to stop whenever I needed it was great. The weekend went well and I was not too sick which is a good thing.

Tuesday we had a scare, as I passed a large amount of red blood and a few clots. My dr. wanted to see me immediately- boy was the wait intense. Simon picked me up from work and took me. The dr had to squeeze us in and the wait seemed to take forever. Simon tripped over a rug, knocked the bench in the office into the wall, and tripped over the scale. It made me laugh a little and lightened the mood a bit. Once the dr came in you could hear a pin drop! Then on the ultrasound screen we were soooo excited to see our little baby and it's heart was still beating. Further examination showed everything was progressing normally and there was no fluid or loose blood floating around. The dr ordered a few tests, but said sometimes things like that happen. They really are unexplainable. She prescribed bed rest, an abbreviated work week, and NO running errands, cooking dinner, etc. At least for the next few weeks. We were so happy to know everything was ok. It took a bit for the "no cooking" order to sink in and Simon realized it was his turn to cook, Indefinitely.

WHO KNEW YOU COULD ACTUALLY BE THIS SICK? I have been nothing but nauseated for the past 3 days straight. Just when I start feeling human again. It kicks back into high gear. Simon tries to pretend he is sympathetic, but I can see him secretly smiling. He figures if I am sick that is always a good sign that things are progressing normally. Before our scare this week we already had an appointment scheduled next week, I don't know if we will keep it or not, because our next appointment is Dec. 8th. Either way, I will try to post something so we have a decent record of this secret first trimester.
