Another doctor's appointment

Well, Josh and I took a half day each off work yesterday, using my precious sick days that I want to save for maternity leave. Our doctor's appointment in Laramie was scheduled for 2:45. At 4:20, we finally saw the doctor. If I would've known that, we wouldn't have had to take any sick leave!! And we saw the doctor for a whole 10 minutes. What a good baby I have though, he (or she) kicked Dr. Keeler. Dr. Keeler was trying to find the heartbeat with the dopplar, but the baby was moving around too much. (I wish I could feel that! But I can't yet.) Dr. Keeler pressed a little harder with the dopplar, and BOOM! The baby kicked him like he was saying, "HEY! Leave me alone!" We finally heard the heartbeat though. Steady and strong, that's for sure!!

I did get a prescription for my migraines. The first 3 months of pregnancy were WONDERFUL. Like headache heaven. I didn't get a single headache, let alone migraine! Then 13 weeks hit and not only do I get a headache every day, but last Monday got my first pregnant migraine. I was up all night in throbbing pain and throwing up until 4:00 a.m. What a long night! Poor Josh was probably pretty tired the next day too, since he was up with me! Hopefully this medicine will help when I feel one coming on.

It hit 71 degrees on our way to Laramie, and on our way home, it was 32 and blizzarding. No joke. Gotta love Wyoming weather in the springtime!

Hope everyone had a great Easter! It was just me and Josh this year. We didn't get any days off school for traveling, and I HATE eating Easter dinner in the afternoon and leaving to come home right away. Especially now that I get so carsick now that I'm pregnant. So we had a nice quiet day by ourselves. It was very enjoyable.

I'm off to Salt Lake City for the MENC National Convention tomorrow, so I'll catch you all up when I get home!
