I feel pregnant today...

Based on my feelings today, I have very little worry about whether or not we are going to hear a heartbeat next Tuesday. I FEEL PREGNANT!

I woke up this morning at 6:45, unable to move because I had to tinkle so badly. Once that priority was taken care of, I went on to take care of my weekly documentation, ensuring that I got it submitted by 9 am. However, instead of stationing myself in the living room as I usually do, the best I could achieve was propping the laptop on my stomach while I typed laying in my super comfortable bed and regaled my superiors with anecdotes about the past week's interventions.

Once I finished the documentation (by 8:45... yeah! look at me being efficient), it took all of my energy to make a coffee and move to our chairs outside so I could sit in the humidity while I hoped for a caffeine-induced energy burst. I managed to eat most of a banana (shared some with Hector), but was turned off by the consistency.

Now, I sit at work, stomach churning, tired again, and wondering how seriously I am supposed to take the note on the side of the Tums bottle when it says "Do not exceed 7 tablets in a 24 hour period."

Heartbeat or no, I'm pretty sure this is a full-on pregnancy.

**N.B. Perhaps out of sympathy to me, or in a prenatal father-child conspiracy, Nathaniel decided the "Sublime Ice Cream Sandwiches" from Trader Joe's were in order today... we ate them in the car... and, the advertising is not false.. they are, in fact, SUBLIME...
