Let’s see, where do I start. Well, yesterday while we were at Wal-mart, I passed out. That was really not fun. I was starting to feel sick, so I sat on a bench while Rick bought the groceries. When he came over after he bought them, I realized I’d fainted. He helped walk me out, and between the glass doors, I passed out again; I guess I just slumped into his chest. When I came to, I was on the handle bars of the cart and Rick was wheeling me out to the car. It took a couple minutes for me to completely regain consciousness. Yikes. Turns out, I need to eat more food. Especially protein. So ever since then, I’ve been making sure I eat meat and cheese and nuts, and I’m feeling better.
Today, I had my very first doctor’s appointment since I got pregnant. It was ever so wonderful to hear the heartbeat! But the most amazing part was SEEING the baby. She/he looks so adorable. Its legs are long and it likes to kick them a lot. It was bouncy and moved all around so we could see all different angles of its cute little body. Its toes and fingers and eyes and nose and everything were so perfect. Beautiful, beautiful baby. We could even SEE the heart beating. How amazing is that?!
After leaving the doctor’s appointment, our car broke down. It ended up being a transmission problem and was way too expensive to fix - not worth it for the kind of shape the car was in, anyway. So we are going to actually give it to the people at the transmission place. We drove a rental car home and we’ll probably start going car shopping tomorrow. Also, if anyone here in Monroe has a car that we could borrow for a few days or so, let us know!
