Makes my heart flutter.

No, it really does. My heart is fluttering. As I type this I have sticky things everywhere and wires coming out of each of them. I talked like a robot and freaked my daughter out. How did it get to this. Well, I would walk. Simply walk down our TINY hallway and be exhausted, out of breath and could feel my heart thumping around. I thought it was anxiety and then it just kept happening. So as I was passing the doctors office I turned in. I saw a doctor, not mine, but a doctor and she heart my heart skip two beats then thump quickly and sent me for an EKG and a heart monitor. So now every time I feel short of breath, or feel the flutters I push a little button and write down what I was doing at the time. Here is my list so far....
1. Walking from the car to the house
2. Eating Doritos
3. Walking in the grocery store
4. Sitting at the computer

Yep. 4 instances. Two I was simply walking, one sitting and two involving food. I'm a lard butt and my heart hates me. I feel like I'm imagining things and if I push the button to tag the time tomorrow at the cardiologist they are going to laugh at me and tell me to stop eating and walk a little bit.

So this kid is giving me a run for my money. I've made it into the 2nd trimester which is wonderful but I can't shake this terrible feeling that something worse will happen and I will never get to see this child. I know its crazy....but its how I feel. That makes my heart flutter too. I'm pretty sure that is called anxiety.

Wish me luck at the cardiologist tomorrow. I'm hoping they do tell me I'm just a fatty and nothing more. In the meantime I'll be counting my flutters and wishing for the best.
