We had a really long day yesterday. I woke up at 4 and couldn’t go back to sleep.

We had a dr appointment at 9. that was pretty uneventful – all they did was listen to the heartbeat with the doppler. the first dopper didn’t work. It was soo staticky that we couldn’t hear the heartbeat. He got a second doppler and we heard the baby move around, but he had trouble finding the heartbeat. It took a few mins to find it, then we listened for about 3 seconds. Hearing the baby move was pretty neat – I just thought it was my stomach noises, but the dr said it was movement. The heartbeat was not as eventful as hearing it on the ultrasound. Oh, but I did find out that I have only gained 2 pounds. I was scared – I thought it would be like 10 lbs. So, I officially have a 2 lb gain for the first trimester. I start the second trimester in the next few days or so.

After the doctor appointment, we got on the road to tallahassee for tim and alex’s wedding. Since we were on the road all day I had junk for breakfast and junk for lunch. When we got there, it was time to go to Hooter’s. Of course, I had to have hot wings because I haven’t been to Hooters in a looong time. The wings were really really tasty. They didn’t give me heartburn, thank goodness.

After Hooters we went to Snookers for the pre-wedding drunk fest. Being the sober one for a change was pretty darn entertaining. I drank a few shirley temples. The combination of all that soda and junk food made my stomach expand like a freakin’ balloon. By the end of the evening I was humongous and in pain. My stomach, even my belly button, were hurting really bad and I couldn’t suck it in.

Poor Tim got really sick. I guess that is the downside of being the groom to be… people pouring mass amounts of alcohol down your throat. Amazingly, seeing all the vomit did not make me ill. I was proud of myself, lol. We got home around midnight, so it was an early evening compared to what I expected.

I had so much junk yesterday that I am still bloated today. Usually, when I wake up I look normal again. But this morning, i’m still fairly bloated. BLAH.
