12 Weeks: Day 14

Another quiet day with not much new, although I did finally figure out why I was feeling really sick to my stomach every morning. (Kind of late in the pregnancy to classify it as morning sickness.) Apparently when some people are on bed rest it causes their blood pressure to bottom out in the mornings, leading to nausea after they get up for the first time. There's not really much you can do about it but it's kind of nice to know what's going on!

The snow was GORGEOUS outside the window this morning. Ethan's grandpa's funeral was today and it took him around an hour to get to church, when it normally takes no longer than 20 minutes.

B-E-A-UTIFUL!!!!!! (the snow) <(") and, is there anything you can do to help with the bottoming out blood pressure? --besides breaking the bedrest rule, of course!

Can't wait to come see you tomorrow. Hopefully no snow storms or sick babies!

The only thing the dr. mentioned that might possibly help is to get up really slowly. Since I'm not exactly springing out of bed as it is, I'm not sure how much slower I can make it. :) It's okay, though.

T -- I totally missed the significance of the penguin. You crack me up! :) I had to tell Liz about your penguin antics on FB the other day. I'm not showing you any more emoticons!
