Mama's Baby Drama

I am sure I will have more to post after our baby class tonight but I am not feeling the love of being pregnant. This is after another night of uncomfortable stints of what some people call sleep.

I get these dizzy spells in the morning where my arms go all tingly, I start to lose my balance, sweat, etc. I eat breakfast when I first get up so am surprised this happens about an hour later. Anyhow, they happen every so often but usually go away by the time I get to work or eat a second breakfast. Not today. I seriously didn't think I was going to be able to go to work and they didn't get better once I got there. So, I called the dr.'s office. You guessed it, stellar service again. Took three tries to get to talk to a human (which confirmed their damn answering service says nothing about OB patients not leaving a message). Then I spoke with a craptastic nurse who told me I should come in but when I asked if I should just come in now she himmed and hahed over whether to make me an appt for today. In the end, she made me an appt.

I got there, waited 45 minutes, had the usual blood pressure taken, weigh in (5 lbs less than last time...what the hell did I have on for shoes?!?!), and baby heart rate checked. The dr. spent time listening to me and basically said since both arms are numb and my reflexes are working and my pulse is strong, she's not sure what it could be. So, she told me to go do some blood work (check thyroid and electrolytes) and see her again on Thursday. Basically unless part of me goes numb or I lose sight due to blurred vision, I am ok.

Anyhow, Ryan and I are about to leave for class. He is pissed off because he had to miss basketball tonight. I am far from thrilled and if I have to put up with a crabby husband on top of my own ailments I am going to be an even grumpier person come morning.
