Just a symptom update... All in all, I'm feeling pretty spiffy most of the time. I had a little headache today, but Tylenol cured it. My back hurts a lot. Frequently. I still get heartburn daily. But the morning pains I mentioned a couple of weeks ago seem gone (maybe because I greatly increased my water intake?). It has been replaced by belly (etc.) itching. I don't really itch a lot, but this morning I tried cocoa butter which really does seem to help. I'd been skeptical it would do anything, and I think I might have been wrong. I don't have any stretch marks, no signs of the linea negra. My feet haven't been swelling, but I've been pretty careful about that. My face is still broken out, and I'm just learning to deal with it. I think that's it.

Dr.'s appointment is tomorrow afternoon. Actually, this one's with the nurse, and I suspect it will last a few minutes at most. This is a good thing, since Grandma Laurie's birthday is tomorrow too! I need to remember to ask my Dr. for a note allowing me to get a flu shot. They're coming here to work to do them, but pregnant women need a Dr.'s note to allow them to get one. I really hope I remember, because I can't bear the thought of getting the flu while I'm pregnant! Yikes!
