Symptoms...

When I was pregnant with my son, I didn't realize that I was even pregnant until I was almost three months along (I had irregular periods back then). So I'm not sure if I went through this period of feeling totally beat all the time! I think that back then I was only 20 years old and not really in tune with what was going on with myself or body.

But I'm telling you that I definitely do this time around.  I get exhausted so easily these days. I've read that this should end once you're into your second trimester which I really hope is true. I haven't had any morning sickness which I wasn't really expecting since I never did with my other pregnancy.

I've been going to my exercise class in the mornings about 3 times per week. I have noticed there that if we do anything low and then stand back up I will get lightheaded. So I tend to take it easier and slower.  At home if I go downstairs for something and then kinda jog up the short flight of stairs (which is my normal) it will make me a little dizzy. I've read to that this can happen because your body is trying to pump more blood, blah blah blah.

I think that you could find just about anything online to match what you're going through. At least for me what I've found so far has been helpful and reassuring but I'm sure that it can just as easily freak you out. So I guess just like any advice you have to be sure its reputable and not your imagination get the best of you.

Oh and headaches...

Rollercoaster - a no go

So my husband's work had a family day at the local amusement park. Well I called the doctors office and was told that it wouldn't be a good idea to ride the rides. bummer :o(  Or at least she said that I could ride the more tame ones that didn't jerk you around or put a bar across your lap.

That day we let our son bring a friend and were able to go off and ride the rides on their own. So my hubby and I took our time and wondered around the park. We caught a (somewhat lame) magic show but at least it was air conditioned! It was a hot day.

We also played bingo which I've never played before or at least not in the setting. I was pleasantly surprised that it was fun. I won three times in a row, at the third time I was actually kind of embarrassed to holler out bingo!  Bur alas that was my peak. But the hubby won at least 4-5 times. So what you win is points for prizes. You know like the kids get at chucke cheese but they had prizes that were geared towards adults. So we walked away with a three legged camp stool, mini flashlight, 5 piece cutlery set, 3 piece blue cutting boards and a dog leash tie out.

The hubby and I rode a couple rides that were mild. It turned out to be a pretty nice relaxing time at the park especially with not having to hurry up and wait in the long lines.
