For this pregnancy I've decided to go with a women's clinic instead of a medical center. I had heard a lot of good things about the one here in Mt. Vernon and wanted to try a smaller, more personal setting. My first appointment with an ob/gyn is on Nov. 4th, which is when I'll get my first ultrasound and get to hear the baby's heartbeat :)
So far, this pregnancy is noticeably different than the first. My morning sickness is worse, for one thing... I haven't puked yet but I come pretty close more often than not, and I gag violently. Poor Tim :( Poor Aislin! Well, I guess they'd have it worse if I was actually barfing in the bathroom or at their feet. I have no interest in doing any kind of exercise, in spite of having gone walking almost every day since we've moved here and also when I was pregnant with Aislin. Back then, I even walked in the wind and rain (with a massive umbrella over my head and my winter jacket on). Now I just want to eat everything I see on commercials and hibernate for the winter. Speaking of eating...I've been craving food in general but only at night! I won't eat more than a slice of toast for breakfast or have more than a cup of milk later on, and lunch has been a queasy time for me, but come dinner...I can't seem to stick with my usual portions and end up eating way too much. In fact, last night we had pork chops for dinner and, for dessert, we had...pizza. Yeah. We ordered pizza for dessert. That was a horrible idea because my blood sugar can't handle too many carbs (hence the need to stick to certain portions).
For all these reasons, I think I'm having a boy :P
The baby's expected due date is June 17, 2010 :)
