cramps

The past few days I have had a few spasms of cramps. It's not consistent - just occasionally. Whenever it happens, I try to not do anything until the cramps go away. I finally read a little about it today and apparently it's common during this time (10 weeks). It's either the placenta latching on or it's the expansion of the uterus to accommodate all that's going on inside. Either way, nothing to be worried about unless it's accompanied by bleeding (which, for me, it's not).

I was thrown off yesterday when I found out that our genetic counselor/possible CVS appt is actually next week instead of 2 weeks from now. It's not a big deal, I suppose, it's just closer than I was thinking. At least if we go through with the CVS, that part of the worry will be over! If I have it done, I plan on just going home and laying on the couch all day - I think that's what they usually recommend. Hopefully I'll feel good enough to go to work the next day so I don't blow through my sick/vacation before maternity leave. If I don't take any vacation time between now and then (only using sick days) I'll have around 15 days saved up (which is only 3 weeks).
