While there is obviously no way to tell whether I am pregnant yet, I am still feeling very positive about all of this. Jeff and I had an "Oh my goodness, what were we thinking?" moment as we looked around our tiny little condo and realized that we really do not have room for a baby. Well, we can fit the baby in, just not all of her stuff! But, I do believe that God will provide, and if we have to squish for a while, it is certainly worth it in the end.
I have to stay away from the hot tub now, as that will raise my body temp and could hurt a fetus, but that also gives me an excuse to stay out of the hot Texas sun. I did find out today that I do NOT have to give up caffeine entirely, either. I have to have less than 300 mg per day, but a can of Coke only has 34 mg. I know that there is caffeine in other things too, but a can or two of Coke a day won't hurt a baby, as long as I'm drinking plenty of other liquids. That is a relief, since I do suffer from bad headaches and migraines, and I was afraid that total caffeine withdrawal might trigger the headaches. I have to confess also that even though I said earlier that I had given up caffeine, it didn't take. I've definitely cut way down, and I don't even have it every day now, but I wasn't able to let it go entirely. We're talking a 30-year old soda habit here! I do have to watch the sugar, but it is nice to know that a Coke or 2 a day is all right.
