The fun continues...

It has been another crazy couple of days...

Yesterday I finally went over to Labor and Delivery to let them check my heart. Everything checked out fine except my potassium and sodium levels were a little low. Not sure why or what I'll do about it, but hopefully my OB will have some insight when I see her tomorrow.

I did go see the cardiologist again today and he basically said "these things happen, especially during pregnancy" and told me to eat a banana to help with the potassium. So very helpful. I guess I should be glad they always kind of blow me off - I'll assume it means that these crazy palpitations are nothing to worry about.

Additionally I put a nice yellow racing stripe on the side of my car when I sideswiped a post at Walmart yesterday on my way to the hospital. See what happens when you drive distractedly? I was too busy worrying about whether or not I should bother to go in to notice I was getting too close to the post of the passenger side. At least the door still opens and closes and if I paint a number on the side of the van maybe I'll be able to head over to the NASCAR track and have some fun.

Dawn-

Forgot about your love of bananas!

LOL! I'll tell you what. If it's potassium you need, you can have my share of bananas too! ;-)

Sorry, but the vision of an extremely pregnant Kara driving a mini van in a NASCAR race has left me rolling here!

Just think, less than 2 weeks. Then hopefully those damn palpitations will give you a break for a while! Hang in there, sweetie!

I'm glad everything checked out ok and they don't seem too worried!
I put some white stripes on the side of my suburban a few years ago when the car somehow had "an encounter" with a brick mailbox! We need to sell that car now but it still has those marks on it!
