I had a blood draw on Thursday, and the results were out yesterday. It's a soothing 1004. Yup.
I had a telephonic conversation with someone in the lab, and she conveyed the number to me. Later, when I picked up the report, the guy on the counter took a few extra seconds to "find" and print my report, which gave me enough time to get a nervous twinge.

Still nothing significant to report on symptoms front. I did feel a little queasy last night (though I wonder if it is psychological?). I have been feeling slightly drowsy during the day too, but until the discovery of this week, I felt my lazy stupor was a brought-on of the summer.
Historically, I have had night nausea rather than morning sickness in both the pregnancies, so this is nothing out of the line for me.
My stomach's turned sensitive. Certain things are doing a number on my bowels.

I am trying to stay calm and more composed. It's a transformation that happened on its own.

Figzy is already saying Hello to the baby, and rubbing my belly on request. I am not sure if she registers it, because she keeps asking about the small baby and I have to tell her that the baby is still in my belly.

I started my breathing exercises, that I was doing in my second pregnancy. Now to only buy Omega-3 supplements and walnuts...
What a wonderful number! How far along are you?
