July 4 was Taylor's birthday so we headed down to Locust Grove to his mom's house - everyone was going to come over for a pool day and then his birthday dinner. We went down early on Tuesday night. I was so anxious to tell his mom, Jody, that as soon as we got there I handed her the gift we made. Didn't even sit down first. Of course, in true Sally fashion, I forgot to take a photo of it so you'll have to use your imagination. I thought Jody was going to start crying when she looked at the frame. Luckily she never suspected a thing. Matt & Catherine got there a few hours later. While we were preparing dinner Taylor asked me to show Catherine the onesie we got Jo & Kim. She started screaming and was so excited! Lots of hugs all around that night.
Since they were the last to know I went ahead and posted something on Facebook. I know, I know...earlier I said I couldn't stand women who posted every detail about their pregnancy on Facebook...and don't worry, that still remains true. But I did want to share our news with all of our friends without being overbearing about it. So, don't expect a ton of Facebook activity from me - that's what this blog is for!
I can safely report that I think I'm pretty much over the throw up stage, though I definitely still feel nauseous a lot of the time. Okay, pretty much all the time. There are some days I can control those symptoms by eating regularly every 2-3 hours, but there are other days where even Zofran doesn't help and I have to more or less suffer through. I am experiencing a new set of symptoms: dizziness and headaches. Tylenol definitely helps the headaches, but I discovered that if I take progesterone and Tylenol at the same time it causes extreme dizziness. Won't be doing that again! The dizziness normally happens on it's own when I change positions, like from sitting to standing, laying to sitting, etc. Not much I can do about that but everything I've read says these are perfectly normal symptoms.
We're not going to hang the board until we move into our new house!
I'm pretty proud of this though.
