Not much happenin'

Well, there's not a whole lot of news on the baby front these days. We are currently 19 weeks, so we are almost halfway there. Though we will probably wait awhile to work on Carter's nursery, we did decide to go with a giraffe theme for his room. Finding bedding was so hard for me because I had my heart set on a really cute bed set from Pottery Barn Kids. It was for a little girl, of course, so I can't get it, but I was determined I could find the same thing except in green and orange instead of Pink and Green. I looked high and low, but never found anything close.

For some reason I have been dead set against blue, so I have looked through every green, brown and orange thing on overstock and amazon.com. I found a really cute set of animal print things in red and black...like zebra stripes, leopard print, etc. Jared said that's a "heck no" for a boy. I disagreed, but figured that would be the first of many battles I would just concede on because, quite frankly, I know nothing about boys! But we finally agreed on this. I love the browns and greens and I think it's super cute. So, we're gonna stick with it!

Other than that, there's not really a whole lot going on. Other than a flutter now and then, Carter still isn't moving in a way that I can really feel him. I haven't found any foods that I just don't want to eat other than corn chowder...but, let's be honest, I probably wouldn't eat that anyway! I am finally getting used to sleeping in weird ways which means I am feeling better overall.

I really haven't been sick except for one day this week when I got home from work, I was feeling really dizzy. I got so dizzy that I was finally so motion sick that I threw up. Sound familiar? This was exactly what happened when I got vertigo last December and was knocked off my feet for 7 days. So, being after hours (as it always seems to be when you are sick) we called the OBGYN on call for my doctor's practice to see if she could call me in a presricption for Meclizine. After an hour with no response, Jared loaded his very motion sick wife into the car for a trip to MaxCare. We arrived at Maxcare only to be rejected because I was pregnant. Isn't there some kind of discrimination law against that??? Seriously, you can't look in my ear because I'm pregnant?! Anyway...moving on. We finally got a call back from the OBGYN, got the prescription and by the next morning I was feeling well enough to work and within 2 days I was off the meds and feeling normal. Meclizine is definitely something I will always be keeping in my medicine cabinet! And, praise the Lord for his goodness to me! I was doing some serious praying that night because I don't think I could handle vertigo again!

Thanks for checking in!
