Week 6

Heavenly Father is good to us. This week has been pretty good, mostly just those fun cramps and dizziness. I started my externship on Tuesday, right? Right. And it's 8 hours of work straight. No real lunch breaks, sometimes it's hard to find time to slip off to the ladies room. Monday night I may have cried over the thought of starting my hours, because when I'm at work (the one I actually get paid for :p) I get sooo tired and dizzy and I just don't feel like myself. Eight hours of standing? No bathroom breaks? No snacks every two hours? I was pretty sure I was going to die. (No dramatics here, ha.)

Tuesday came and went, my brain was flooded with information, and my hips hated me. But at the end of the day I realized I hadn't really even felt any pregnant symptoms during the day. Sure I got a little hungry, but I was able to explain to the pharmacist so he wouldn't be angry if I slipped a granola bar out of my pocket every now and then. It was doable. Our child probably felt anorexic comparably (although probably not. I have fat stores he/she could live off of for an hour or so right? :p) but it was doable. To be honest it kind of made me worried. I didn't feel pregnant, so something must be wrong, right? Well, no worries, it all came back that evening and the next day at work. Yesterday in the pharmacy was basically the same. I was a little more worn out, but I wasn't sick. And again, it all came back last night and today for work. It's like I've gotten these little windows of feeling good just long enough to get through my pharmacy shift. Thank heavens for tender mercies! We're just excited and scared and excited and probably in denial still. I think it'll feel more real after we have our first appointment in August. Hopefully we'll get to hear the heart beat! (Eeee!)
