I really don't have anything of any significance to say today but Danny is gone (Havasupai) and so I thought I'd blog. Pregnant life is MUCH better these days now that I don't have to take prenatals! I simply could not keep them down so my doctor recommended Flintstones vitamins instead. They have been so much better to me and my toilet! The only other two things I have had going on is extreme fatigue and mild headaches but after talking to my doctor it turns out my thyroid stinks which has made both symptoms way worse. I started a thyroid replacement which (just in the last couple days) has given me a little extra pep! And last but not least, I feel like a cow. I know I'm not over eating (at all) but my clothes are already snug. After some research I discovered that people who are short with short torsos tend to show much earlier. Great, I am definitely going to be oompa loompa status by the time this pregnancy is said and done! I am going to have to try this rubber band trick the you ladies have been so generous to share with me! Definitely about a month away from maternity pants, I can feel it.
I still have no idea what we are having. The chinese gender calender says boy but it was wrong for my sister and 3 of my friends so who knows? (was it right for you?)
A part of me thinks it would be fun to have a boy just so I know Daniel would be happy. Not that he wouldn't be with a girl but he would be able to rest assure he had his boy. I desperately need a girl if not now later because I love girlie things too much not to have one ;o) We'd just be happy to have a healthy kid at this point as this thyroid problem can cause some issues for baby. Say prayers please!
Anyway, I hope to visit soon but I am trying to wait until Momma O comes to town so I am not gone so much. I am hoping in the next week or so? I miss you guys very much and I hope you all are doing very well. I'll post pictures when I look more pregnant than scarily resembling the puff state marshmallow man.
Love you guys!

odd about the thyroid thing. did you get a second opinion? just wondering. so camp is over, and i will be planning a trip soon. ben goes to alaska wed. and will be gone ten days i think - so probably right after that - around the 1st of august? what do you have going, and daniel?
hey, laura. what about folic acid? do flintstones have that?
Yup, they do but not as much... so instead of taking one I take 3 :o) Works out to be the same!
