I Hate Pants November 5, 2009

 

Today was my first official pregnancy visit. They stole at least a pint of blood from my poor arm and brainwashed me into getting a flu shot. Baby Daddy got a flu shot in solidarity with me. He’s the best.

 

Going into this appointment, I was convinced that there had to be twins. That’s the only way I could explain how quickly I’m gaining weight.

 

It turns out, there is only one baby and this one is apparently a carnivore. Apparently, cheeseburgers and milkshakes are the cause for the extra weight gain.

 

A Heart All A Flutter October 22, 2009

 

Today Dr. Weihs confirmed that we’re pregnant!

 

It’s hard to tell what you’re looking at on the screen–a dark blob with some light blobs inside. Baby Daddy held my hand while we figured out what we were looking at and I cried when I saw the fluttering on the screen.

 

I have to be honest. It looked like an animated black-and-white hamburger fluttering around. Now, it’s possible that my brain is hallucinating about hamburgers because I’m a vegetarian who really misses cheeseburgers. But that’s what I saw.

 

And to add to all of the excitement, when I returned to work this afternoon I had an email from our company H1N1 program manager telling me I had been exposed to swine flu at work the day before!

 

Here’s what I learned today: eat cheeseburgers and work from home.
