Here’s the newest update:
Neurologically Speaking – I had a spinal tap on Friday and it hurt. My back was sore and I laid down for 24 hours and was fine. After the initial 24 hours, I started back up to my normal routine and now I’m getting headaches. I don’t know if they’re ‘spinal headaches’ but it’s not fun. I do know that I feel better when I lay down but I hate being lazy.
I also got an echocardiogram on Saturday and it went fine. I still have to get some sort of ‘doppler’ on my neck to check my blood flow. I start occupational therapy today and I can’t wait
I won’t get any results until at least the 21st. I can’t even get an MRI for several weeks (which is frustrating but I understand… I have to be safe with a pregnancy).
Speaking of pregnancy – I’m still really early on. I have my first ultrasound next Monday. I don’t feel like anything’s going on down there. Then again, I’ve been dealing with all these neurological problems and I can’t tell what’s pregnancy and what’s ‘other’. I have been having wild dreams lately and I’ve been very hot overnight.
Well, typing is also now difficult for me and this is taking forever. I’m going to stop for now and try to relax before my o/t. Hopefully it will be easier for me to keep updates posted here.

It is interesting that you wish to keep a photographic record of your belly size...believe me it will only get bigger. We are here for you (well as "here" as you can be from 2500 miles) and if there is anything you need let us know. The advantage to being the youngest of 4 girls is you have three sisters who have had multiple children and can give you every bit of advice that you could want...or not. Bill
You've got some great advice below. Just want you to know I love you, too, and am here for you.
Your tummy idea is cute.
Oops. I should have said you've got some great advice ABOVE. I must be thinking backwards. LOL
