With Thing 1 I became a grump, this time is no different. I swear someone could look at me the wrong way and I get upset. Thankfully I can also switch from sad to happy just as fast.

I’m still not 100% myself when it comes to morning sickness. I can’t say I have much of a life off the couch yet. I barely get to post on the boards, I have an errand list longer than my arm… I just haven’t felt up to it. Thankfully the Hubby is great about it and at least I can catch up on some sleep.

I still may be just a little bit crazy, but not about movement. I rented a doppler and the movement I felt matched up with what I was hearing on the doppler. It’s so wierd feeling things now. It’s great I’m just stunned it’s so early. I’m a happy girl! It’s still flutters but it’s something.

Ok, don’t answer that question. I know that most of the time it is just too early at 10w3d but I’m starting to suspect I feel flutters. I know where I usually feel gas and this isn’t that. I’ve been pregnant before so it’s not like I have no idea what it feels like.. I’ll post if it increases or subsides.

My Mom went home from her week long visit this morning. My sister also had a surprise visit. She was here with work (she owns an insurance brokerage) and had to sign some stuff at the lawyers. She was here less than 24 hours but it was nice regardless. Now my house is quiet. I miss them but this too is nice.

My sister also left a little something behind. She was just getting over the stomach flu before coming and now I think I have it. That’s just what I need, morning sickness AND the flu.

I also found out why I get sick all the time. Mom was surprised I didn’t already know this because it had been discussed all my life. I guess I wasn’t listening. Basically I have a low white blood cell count. White Blood Cells are what attacks illness. An average Non sick person has an average count around 10 and my mom said mine has always hovered around 1.8 and barely makes it up to 10 when I’m sick. She said she had immunity testing done on me when I was young and I’m fine, it’s just my normal. Kind of like my blood pressure being low all the time (which averages 100/66 but at last weeks appointment was 98/55). To sum it all up I’m just more prone to get sick. I don’t care one way or another but it’s interesting to know that anyway.

I’m still waiting to feel better. I really feel bad complaining about it. I feel so lucky to be pregnant again and I know so many people would kill to be in my shoes. Despite all the complaining I am incredibly grateful to be here and would much rather be as sick as can be than not pregnant.

My Mom is coming tomorrow for a weeks visit. She wants to go out and do all this stuff. I can tell you now that I don’t see any way I’m going to be able to keep up with that. Just having a shower is enough to make me feel crappy enough to sleep for a few hours.

I also have to have a PAP tomorrow. I am so not in the mood to have *there* looked at… ask my husband, he can attest to that. It’s with my regular Doctor and not my OB so it will be a useless appointment past that. Even if I beg, there will be no doppler, he’ll laugh off this extreme sickness as something that goes with the territory…. can you tell I am not looking forward to this?
