Work has been super busy since I got back from New Mexico so I haven't had much time to update this. Our trip was nice, but way too short. We spent a day driving there and a day driving back and two days with the in-laws. But it was nice to just relax and not have to do anything. We ate way too much food, Hubby got to go golfing with his dad, and we saw The Da Vinci Code while we were down there. We all really liked it, although I did like the book better than the movie. Hubby hadn't read the book so we listened to it on CD on the way down to New Mexico. I've never really done the book on CD thing before but it was a nice change from listening to the same music CDs over and over again.
The pregnancy is progressing. I saw the doctor last week and I'm almost up to the weight I was before I started getting so sick so that's good progress. Aphrodite says I look really thin from the back and then I've just got this cute little belly. All my weight has shifted from my waist to my stomach. Maybe I won't have too much baby fat to lose after the baby is born. I took the glucose tolerance test to check for gestational diabetes but haven't gotten the results back yet. They tested my iron though and I am anemic. That would explain why I've been so tired lately and that I can't seem to catch my breath. I figured that was just because my lungs are getting squished. We started our childbirth classes last night and let me just ask, is it too late to say no? We watched a video of a live birth and I don't think I want to go through with this anymore! I can't believe women go through this every day. One of the guys in the class fainted during the video. I hope Hubby doesn't do that when it's time for our delivery.
Speaking of Hubby, he has West Nile Virus. No joke. He woke up Tuesday morning with a fever and he was all achy and not feeling so good. Hubby's not one who gets sick very often so when he does it's pretty serious. He couldn't figure out what would have caused these symptoms but then he remembered he got a mosquito bite when he was golfing on Friday. He thought it was weird that his symptoms would just start now but we checked into West Nile Virus anyways and his symptoms match and apparently they don't start for a few days after you get bit. Thankfully it's just a mild case and there's not much the doctors can do for it anyways - it just has to run its course. But he's still pretty miserable just the same. So pray for a speedy recovery.
