My head hurts

Well, I have discovered something... some women are prone to headaches in their first trimester. As I am normally prone to headaches, I also seem to be prone to them now. Yesterday's headache was my own fault (I get headaches when I cry and I got myself all worked up over something and ended up crying), but I did have a minor one this morning - my remedy... lots of water.

Another interesting thing... when you take a woman that is extremely emotional on a normal day (ie: cries during Disney animated movies) and add pregnancy hormones... you get one emotional woman. Poor JB... it may be a longer pregnancy for him than for me!

I never did get to see my doctor on Monday - it seems he had a meeting to attend that was booked on short notice. Thus, when I got there he was gone. Plus, it seems that my doctor's office doesn't book your first prenatal appointment until a little farther down the line than I presently am. So, my first prenatal appointment is booked for Monday, February 5th. As well, I'm going to a prenatal class on February 26th - this is what they call the "early prenatal class". The "late prenatal class" is taken later in pregnancy and is 5 sessions... thankfully, in addition to holding it over 5-weeks, they also offer it over 2-days (Sat & Sun) - I'll book that one for when JB is home. He likely won't be able to make it to this first one.

We made a list of things we need before September. Oh my goodness... is that list ever long! So, we're going to allocate money from each pay cheque for baby-related items and spread out the cost over the entire pregnancy. I'm also allocating a certain amount of money from each pay cheque for maternity clothes so that one morning I don't wake up and find I have no work clothes that fit... luckily, I think I may have a source for some hand-me-down maternity clothes!

Well, I should go before people start getting back from lunch. Two people at work know right now, and that's how it's staying until I either start getting morning sickness (none yet, knock on wood!) or I hit the 3-month mark. We're telling my parents this weekend... should be interesting (getting my Dad and JB home at the same time is a bit of a trick sometimes).
