YAY! Another sigh of relief!

Last night was crazy. I spent the whole day yesterday with my sister and didn't get home until about 11 p.m. I didn't get to bed until after midnight. Then at 2 a.m. I woke up with a terrible ear ache. I took some Tylenol and used some pain killing ear drops and tried to fall asleep on a hot pad. I didn't get back to sleep until after 4:30 a.m. Then I woke up again at 6 with a terrible tooth ache. I lay their for about an hour and finally decided that I needed to go to the doctor. Luckily Tommy is so sweet and watched the kids for me so I could go in. Come to find out, I have a terrible ear infection. They had to put me on an antibiotic.

For about a week now, I have been getting more and more nervous because people keep asking me if I've felt the baby move yet. When I tell them no, they tell me how early they felt theirs move. I have also been reading some pregnancy books recently and they say by now I should have felt something. UGH! It's been so nice not having anything to worry about the past several weeks. But from this I have started getting a little paranoid again.

So when I was at the doctor's this morning I asked if they had the equipment to listen to a baby's heart beat. They did and sure enough, right off the bat she heard it. It's heart rate was at 142! YAY!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, I think I did a HUGE sigh of relief when I heard it. Now if I can just wait one more week until the ultrasound. I can hardly wait!

Other than feeling somewhat like I'm being run ragged, I am actually glad this summer is so busy, because it's going to make it go by REALLY fast. Although while I am feeling good, I'd love this pregnancy experience to last forever, I am also REALLY REALLY excited for this baby to get here! Only one more week and I'll be half way there! :D
