quick stats and random conversations

I had my doctor's appointment today, and it went pretty well... other than the fact that I totally blacked out while I was there! I think I stood up too fast when they called my name to go back. They took my blood pressure when I blacked out and it was L-O-W!! 80/20! I have been having those dizzy/fainting spells a lot recently, and the doc said it's totally normal! He said he wants me to increase my meat/protein and salt intake.

I have gained 2.5 pounds since I saw the doc last month (he was not pleased with that). I know it's not much, but it's something! I'm still not up to my pre-pregancy weight yet, even though my belly continues to grow!

I got maternity pants for the first time yesterday and they are awesome! I wish I could be one of those girls that continues to wear normal clothes and skinny jeans throughout pregnancy, but I just can't, it's so uncomfortable!

I still pretty much just look chubby in the midsection, not quite a "baby bump" yet, so NO, I will not post pictures of my belly until it has rounded out a little. :)

I have been feeling a little better each week... slowly starting to regain my strength, just in time for good weather, I hope!

Changing topics, here are some really random conversations I've had with Travis recently:

We were driving down the road the other day, and out of the blue, Travis said,
"You know sweetie, the more I think about it, Costco would a great place to take over as our hiding place during the zombie apocalypse."

Then the rest of the conversation was about making a plan for when this happens, what car I should hijack, and he told me about plan A and B.

Another time, Travis texted me and said, "I guess no haunted houses for you this year, you could get too scared and go into early labor!" I told him maybe I would get scared and pee my pants and thik that my water broke, and it would be a false alarm.

Anyway, that's pretty much it!

I have my ultrasound on June 21 to confirm gender. We think it's a boy. We shall see!!

Glad you are slowly feeling better... it's a bummer I know. The blacking out thing used to happen to me all the time early in the morning at work. I had to drink a whole bottle of water...then a protein shake...then more water and eat crackers! So excited to hear what you are having!!!!
