First trip to the ER during pregnancy

And hopefully the last!!!
I was out to dinner last time with Kristy and Jules, at the Loop, and we were finished eating, just sitting around talking. I was really listening and suddenly, I started feeling weird. I got very hot and very sweaty and I felt like I was being back into a tunnel of some kind. I couldn't hear well and the room looked weird, and I felt sick. It turns out I was about to pass out. I have no idea why, or why it came on, but it was very sudden and I def. felt like I was about to fall out right there in the Loop.
Jules put me in her car and put the air on me so I could cool down. I sat there for a while and we drove around for a few mins, and my arms started to feel heavy and just weird. They decided it would be best to take me to the ER, to make sure everything was Ok and nothing was wrong with my blood pressure, or anything else.
My doctor on call was not helpful AT ALL. Very indecisive and just all around annoying.
So we checked in at 8:30, Billy came up there, and we got home around 1:00am this morning.
The end of the story is that everything is fine, nothing is wrong, all of my blood work and vitals were normal and good, and they attributed the episode to just being part of pregnancy.
It was slightly scary. I wasn't terrified or anything, just confused about what caused it and why it came on so sudden. But now I know it's to be expected and I guess I'll just have to be aware of it in the future.
I stayed home from work today to rest and take it easy. I feel fine overall, but I've been taking it easy on the couch, so tomorrow should be fine. We have a doctor's appt tomorrow too, and I'm so excited for it, to see the babies and see how they're doing!

Maternity Clothes shopping 1, Beth 0

Well, me and Billy went to the mall yesterday so I could buy some black work pants and a new bra. Last week, some of my pants seemed to just not fit anymore, so I decided it might be time to move into the maternity ones...not every day, but some days.
Well it didn't work out too well. The associates in Motherhood Maternity were NOT what I had hoped for, and they were not interested in helping me at all. I didn't actually ASK anyone for help, but still, no one even greeted me.
We made our way around to several other stores, Billy tried to get me into fancy Dillard's and get help from them, which I declined. We went to Sears, and I found a rack of bras, tried them on, and...they just weren't right. All of them are nursing bras, which obviously I don't need yet. The pants I tried on were too big, and looked stupid.
So we left. I gave up and will try again in another week - 2 weeks. I'll deal with what I have for now and on those days when the pants are just too tight, I'll wear something else!

Maternity clothes, here we come!

Yes, it has been a very long time since I've written in here. Not sure why...wasn't feeling in the mood I guess. But, since we are in the middle of a tropical storm, and I don't have an overabundance of things to do right now, I thought I'd check in.

A brief catch up. I am 16 weeks pregnant today, with twins! Everything seems to be going fine, and we go back next week for our next appt. We are very excited, since we haven't seen the babies in a month. The pregnancy has been going very well, I haven't been sick, I haven't been overly tired. I've had some bouts of heartburn, but I can deal with that. And today is the first day I'm wearing a maternity shirt. I really don't need it yet, pants yes, shirts now, BUT - I didn't have anything else to wear, and I was hurried, so I chose to go ahead and wear it. And I like it.
I think that this weekend will be a trip to the mall, to try to find a new bra, and some new pants. I need some work pants that are comfy, and most of mine, at least this week, have not been!

This post is turning out to be shorter than I originally thought, but that's Ok. I really do want to use this blog to keep people updated on what's going on, and also to have something to look back on, at this journey of me and Billy becoming parents!
So I'll do my best to write more often, and we'll see how it goes!
