I'm so tired but it's a good tired.
I'm exhausted. I'm finding that as time goes on, I'm just tireder and tireder. I have good reason, given that I'm 11 weeks pregnant. Kelly pointed out that I haven't really officially announced this whole she-bang, so there you go.
Today, I went to the doctor for a routine prenatal exam. I have to go to these now. Today I learned that my uterus is still tipped, and that's what's causing the cramps I'm having - it's intestinal, not anything else. I also learned that I'm healthy, everything is progressing, and all's going well. My iron is low, so I get to take yummy yummy iron pills. Hooray for me (blech).
I have to go to a Maternal-Fetal specialist now because of my cervical cancer issues last year, and because I'm over the magic age of 35. I don't know how I feel about the genetic testing, and I'm a little nervous about the whole thing. I figure I'll go to the appointment, discuss the matter with the specialist, and go from there.
At the end of it all, though, I'm basically a normal pregnant lady who's suffering a few side effects. Whew.

My uterus was tipped after Kid L and remained that way with both of my latter pregnancies. It didn't have any effect on my pregnancies and has now returned to normal.
I had to take iron with the first two and nothing helps to aid the constipation of pregnancy like adding iron to the prenatal vitamins. I wish you the best in that area!
So glad everything is progressing smoothly. Congratulations!
