LOL… I am running out of creative titles! So today is my doc appointment. I don’t expect anything too special. I already started the vitamins, logging my bp, and my weight. I am going to keep a journal this time. I am NOT going to make the same mistakes as last time. I told dh that my target weight gain was 15lbs and he laughed. I think it is laughable as well. My most immediate goal is to keep my first trimester weight gain at or below 5lbs. That is all I can do for now. Last night I rode one of the horses, it was really hot so we just walked and trotted around. Then I came home and layed down for a bit, made dinner, and got on the treadmill for 40 minutes. Exercising actually helps ease the tremendous fatigue. Some days I feel like I am superglued to the bed and CANNOT move. I think this phase will pass in a couple of months. I just need to get lots of rest and keep moving.
My mom informed me yesterday that she is going through all of the baby toys and giving them away, as she will never get another grandchild. LOL… I told dh and asked if I should tell her. He said, “NO… I think she suspects and she is testing you.” If she really does throw it all away, I will be in BIG trouble. LOL… I already am in big trouble and it grows exponentially every day I don’t tell her. I want to find a really shocking cute way to tell her. She is going to be ecstatic. Hopefully dh doesn’t blow it by telling his parents this week while we are there!
We are leaving tomorrow for a couple of days, so I will be MIA. Have a great 4th of July!
