The last three days have been >100 degrees, and I've been working for the last three days. I am back to caring about my cases, worrying about them at night, doing surgery, and feeling like a human again. I have gained 12 lbs, YIPES. I think its because I have to eat to keep the sickness at bay. But, that is disappearing now. I still don't feel the amazing second trimester energy, but I do feel better, and that's enough to make me appreciate what's going on in my body.
Still, I think the doctors find me a bit strange. I went to the doctor on Friday morning, and the doppler showed that the baby has a heart rate of 145 bpm. When we heard the heart rate, the doctor (a different doctor...she doesn't know me.) grinned at me expectantly. My version of enthusiasm must be different that the majority of women. Because my smile didn't satisfy her...I had to laugh and ask questions before she removed the probe from my belly.
It's going to be especially interesting when people start noticing I am pregnant. I should probably wear a warning sign: DANGER! Do Not Touch The Abdomen.
Once I look pregnant and not just fat, I will post pictures. :)
