Airplane Travel

Well, I discovered this week that airplane travel is not for Baby Clark. I was called to duty in Austin, Texas on Monday and flew down there in the evening. The flights were really easy and hardly any turbulence despite the snowstorms throughout the midwest. However, the baby made my stomach toss and turn. I still haven't had to visit the porcelin gods but I kind of wanted to!

Overall, we are feeling much better but still really tired. Last night I feel asleep on the couch around 8:30 after watching our favorite show "Meerkat Manor" on Animal Planet and didn't roll out of bed this morning until 9:30. I have been having some sciatic and nerve tingling (this is not new for me) so I finally broke down and took tylenol - wow did that help! I didn't think a little pill would help me sleep for 12 plus hours!!

Last weekend we finally broke down and bought some baby things. Tommy picked out a hoodie bath towel that has a frog face on the hood. I picked out a toddler size wooden chair at an antique store. It won't be that useful for a few years but it is darn cute!

Our next appointment is March 5!

Our First OB AppointmentDate

Today is Sara's 30th Birthday and we went to our 8 week OB appointment. It was pretty uneventful. Baby Clark is too little even to hear the heartbeat so no big present for mommy today.Tommy took me to a B&B in Weston this weekend and we spent the whole time sleeping and eating. It was really nice to relax and eat good food.Overall, mom and baby are feeling fine. I am super tired and Lori told me it was okay to go to bed right when I get home from work so I may try that once or twice! I am not nauseated but generally a little icky. Hopefully it gets better soon!In other news, my cousin Ava and her mommy got in a fender bender yesterday. We were really nervous because Ava isn't born yet either but we're happy to report that everyone is doing fine!
