11.2
BR is right - I am feeling more energetic and somewhat better. Still bouts of not feeling so hot, but hey, it's MUCH improved. Also still trying to take naps, or at least lie down at lunch. Had a killer headache last night - but have maintained not taking any pain relief so far.
Last week I had to set the Dr's office straight on what testing I actually needed - they tried to schedule me for a first trimester sequential screening, but know already that I am planning on doing amnio in week 15 or 16, so it would have been a completely unecessary test. Luckily I said something, and got myself and BR scheduled with a genetic couselor in Sept instead. Apparently, they had a nurse unfamiliar with my case take care of the scheduling - and they then called to apologize. That coupled with the missed early pregnancy class was enough to make me reconsider my choice in Dr. offices for awhile! In any case, I am happy that it worked out without having to have extra tests, and I think we will stick it out for a little longer anyway.
This last weekend was by far the most enjoyable I have had in the last month. Thank goodness. Thank BR too! I love just hanging out!

weekend events
Great weekend overall. Had to take sufficient breaks (even me) but overall KB feeling better. Lots of saliva still (and I am still trying to get her to spit like a man! :) but a quick stock of saltines seems to do the trick.
Cravings? Carbs on the agenda for KB and that is fine by me. We had a simple pasta with fresh sauce of tomato (friends house), garlic (from the CSA) and chopped fresh parsley. What more could anyone want. And it hit the spot for both of us. The cheesy garlic bread helped. I threw in some zuchini fritters and we had a nice round healthy meal for all involved. At least it wasn't KFC.
Later we had more carbs in the way of a simple margherita pizza with that same yummy sauce.
Never left the house Sunday other than to walk the doggies who seem to need more attention than ever. (Ben seemed like he had a chip on his shoulder about this whole thing too) that said, they got more play time since KB was feeling more energenic. Yay.
I'm wiped.
