Sooooo Tired

I am feeling so tired all the time. Normally I'm a morning person. I love being up at 6 and getting started with all my little assingments like laundry, cleaning the house, studying scriptures... stuff like that. But for the past 3 weeks, I cannot seem to get out of bed until about 830, it is seriously hampering my ability to take care of my home. I wake up tired and I'm tired all day. It sucks!! No matter how early I go to bed, even if I wake up at 630 or 7, I will just lay there in bed because I feel SOOOO TIRED!!! Don't get me wrong... I'm extremely grateful to be pregnant right now, but WHY do I HAVE to be so TIRED ALL THE TIME?!!?

The Singing

Remember how I was frustrated a while back about how the next book to my favorite story was being postponed till March! Ha!! I was so driven to read it, I finally went to Amazon.com and found an Australian printed copy for a pretty good price. I'm really surprised it's paperback. Matthew Sadler and I were discussing that maybe only in the US do books come out in Hardback first. Who knows... anyway... after waiting anxiously every day for the book to arrive in the mail.... it has finally arrived. I'm so excited!

Yes Mandy! It's true... of course... when I'm done, I will hand it over!

Updates

So, I had a regular appointment this morning. Everything seems to be well... the baby has grown and there is still a heartbeat! Yea!

Finally was able to make the appointment with the Perinatal office. That appointment is not until December 1st, which is the same day of my next regular Dr. office visit. That will be interesting.

Thanks everyone for your continued prayers. Know that they are felt!!

I'm going to go take a nap now.

What This City Needs!!

I am wanting some Chick-fil-A right now. Steve and I talk all the time about how many good resturants we love that are NOT in this city.... such as:

Chick-Fil-A
Cracker Barrell
Carabba's
Steak-N-Shake
Golden Corral
Ryan's

You know... a Cracker Barrell would fit in so nicely! At least they have put in a Texas Roadhouse... I wonder if it's open yet?

I am Pregnant...

Yes, it is true! I am six weeks along right now.
There have been many relatives and close friends that we have told, but I was not planning on telling everyone until we made it through the first trimester.... that is, until today.

Today I started to bleed heavily... yes, I know it could mean that I am going to have a miscarriage. But I havn't yet. I also started to lose blood clots; just like the previous pregnancy with Joshua. Today I went to the Dr. to check things out. The ultrasound went well... there is a HEARTBEAT, which is awesome, but... the ultra-sound technician discovered something that no one has ever caught before. Apparently it looks like I have what is called a Septated Uterus, which is sort of a partition down the center of the uterus. This can apparently cause problems with pregnancy. In the next week or so, I will be seeing a Perinatal Dr, and check out what options there are for this kind of issue.

Because of the complications that I am having (again), I've decided to let everyone know... please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. I will update things here when I learn more.

My Voting Experience

Well... I'm feeling pretty proud that I live in a country where I can vote for my leaders. I was pretty lucky today. I walked in to my polling area at about 1205 and walked out less than 10 min later. No line for me! Love it!! Was anyone else that lucky?

Voting In Washoe County

There is a cool little website that you can visit where you can find out if you are registered here in Washoe County. Another neat little thing it tells you is what location you are supposed to go vote. I thought that was great. It does not, however, tell you what time the polls open.
