earthquake

apparently we had an earthquake early this morning at about 5:20 or so, it was a 4.5 with the epicenter being on the peninsula but really not very far from us. i don't think any damage has been reported. i am totally bummed that i missed it, woke up to pee about 30 minutes after it. i don't know it probably seems weird but i just seems like it would've been exciting....

finally

at 10 weeks i am finally feeling better (insert hallelujah chorus here), i think i might live after all. now i am in the hungry phase where i find that i crave things that i have absolutely no way of obtaining such as "chili mac" and fries and a chocolate milkshake from steak-n-shake which in case you don't know is only located in arkansas and missouri and i am in washington. bleck. oh well it beats be pukey 24/7.

update on appointments - my next one is on february 9th but that is just the one where the nurse takes all of your most personal information and blood samples, etc. following that i have an appointment with the ob/gyn on february 24th for my first exam with her. seems like a long time to wait but i'm sure i'll get my fill of doctor appointments soon enough.

ob/gyn vs. midwife

i have now had my trial appointments with both the ob/gyn and the midwife so now it's decision time... suprisingly i liked the ob/gyn office better which isn't what i expected but the doctor was really nice and so was her nurse. the midwife was fine too but i guess you have to go with your gut. now to set up my next appointment.

pregnancy is lame

so i have spent yet another weekend holding the couch down. i enjoy sloth as much as the next person but come on, i am really sick of being sick. no seriously. while i do think that i am feeling better than i was initially i am still far from where i would like to be. i am wearing sea bands which are for motion or sea-sickness and that seems to help along with trying never to get too hungry or too full.

btw: this week i have two appointments one with an ob/gyn and the other with a midwife group that operates out of the hospital so after those are out of the way i will know who i will be using as a doc.
