Ah, so how am I doing these days?

Very variably. Most days I feel a bit queasy the whole day; some days I feel normal (nice!); some other days I feel pretty awful. I haven't actually thrown up yet, but it definitely feels pretty imminent sometimes.

One day last week I had some kind of a 5-min. hypoglycemic episode: I got really hot really fast, my extremities started tingling, my vision started blacking out, and I heard a ringing in my ears. Also felt very nauseous. I managed to make it to the bathroom and just sat there, sort of hyperventilating. It went away quickly, after which I had chills for the rest of the day.... I have experienced that before: on the day we were going to sign the contract for our house, and that evening is when I had my ulcer attack. I was worried I might have another ulcer attack this time, but no such (bad) luck.

I have been finding myself a bit more emotional of late, especially feeling sad and 'down'. Some of the people on the pregnancy.org message board who were also due in June 2007 have had miscarriages, and lately I've sort of started worrying about that as well. I realize that whatever is going to happen, is going to happen, regardless of what I think or say or do, but I tend to worry about things I can't control (I think it irks Darryl sometimes).

For a couple of weeks there, I wasn't as tired as I was initially, but now I am feeling more drained again (even though getting a good amount of sleep). I'm looking forward to the end of this first trimester and the associated symptoms!

I'm looking very forward to the baby being here and us caring for it, and discovering his/her personality. Looking at baby clothes gets me all happy right now (and emotional: sometimes I feel like I'm going to cry when I think about the baby--cry in a good/happy way). We got a Fisher Price catalog in the mail and there's a very cute "Little People" nativity scene in there that we will probably buy (even though it's for ages 1+ years)!
