Hormones with a Vengence
I managed to make it through almost all of the first trimester with little or no big "hormone" shifts or Crazy moments- well, as I have learned in the past few days- I am far from out of the woods, and my hormones have decided that they want to make sure they take advantage of their abilities before leveling out. I feel like the Hulk- ready to turn green and scream at the drop of a hat. It is IN-SANE! My husband old me this weekend that we had too many blankets (which is FAR from true- HE has too many blankets that we DON'T use- we USE all mine, mainly due to the fact that I am the cold one and I change the bedsheets and blankets), but after that simple little remark I showered alone and sobbed for an hour- over some blankets!
Ended up sick Monday and left work early- whether they liked it or not, I am not one to sit at my desk puking and just continue like nothing is wrong. Just another perk and proof that Squishy wants to remind me that she/he is in there still kicking and throwing all my body systems off!
I took a day off yesterday and had to drive 40 minutes to an appointment, then home, then another 20 to a different one, and then an hour to Cleveland for the last one, which ended in an hour 45 minute drive home. So I was not a force to be reckoned with. When I called to say I was on my way home, there was no- "how did it go?", "what did they say", "does it sound like a good thing." No- it was, "well are you just going straight to class then?" Which of course set me off- I support YOU through everything and every decision, career change, opportunity, etc- all I want is a little support and currently that is only coming from my quickly tightening bra! Hulk-Mama was emerging. Rushing home, a quick change and luckily I had an escort to class and could sleep and do something mindless for the trip to and from class. Home at 10, and well beyond exhausted a quick shower and fewer than 5 words I was out like Tyson!
The alarm always comes too soon- but even more so when I miss my 9:30 bedtime. I didn't motivate myself to eat breakfast and forgot my boss was out for the day (Which means I COULD HAVE stopped to grab something, but alas, forgot- thank you Baby-Brain). Another class tonight and hopefully an earlier bedtime. Another perk of having less company on my floor today: I can listen to my music, have my window open, not freeze from the hot-flash induced AC and just have a little more relaxed day back. The floor has also introduced "Taggarts day" for the days that the "Health Boss" is away- quite an ingenious idea if I do say so myself....

| Quite Possibly the LARGEST Brownie Sundae ever- it will last me a week!! |
So aside from a very sore butt and watching my gas tank go from 3/4 to a little yellow light- I did get released from the fertility specialist! I recorded the U/S so that daddy and Uncle T could see it (Although I have yet to use YouTube, so this could end up a disaster). Dr. said that her bet is girl- and *she* was sleeping yesterday and apparently wasn't in the mood to show off her Michael Phelps impression. Daddy didn't like this assumption and said to think boy thoughts and change *her* to a *him*- they must have skipped over that chapter in medic school.

| Squishy is the size of a plum this week! |
Heartbeat was at 166 and the Estimated Due Date (EDD) was 11/24/12 (one day after daddys birthday), although my bet is on earlier that week- home by turkey day- and take note everyone- I will be bringing home a baby and a big appetite, turkey, pumpkin pie, mashed taters, ALL welcome additions!!
