Heartbeat High
I gotta say that I miss getting high. The high I refer to here is the one I enjoyed via good wine. I miss my wine very much. But as you all know, no wine is a very small price to pay for a healthy pregnancy. On Tuesday, I got my high in a whole new way, a better way even. We heard the heartbeat on Tuesday. It may be said that it has sent me into a somewhat hypomanic phase, but in the best possible fashion. Plus, on this kind of high, I can drive. But let's be honest, I really have no business being inside baby stores (or any stores for that matter). Any version of manic can cause excessive spending in me. And I don't have money to pay my bills much less buy clothes for a theoretical baby. So I occupy myself by surfing amazon and putting things on my registry, which is more of a wish list really because I haven't actually told anyone about it. For now, I will ride that heartbeat wave at 150 bpm. Whoohoo.

That is an awesome high. Totally enjoy it. And yes, the websites are safer. Plus, no stupid comments or nosy questions.
Yay! Yes the heartbeat sound is the best drug. I can stay high on it for days.
It is just marvelous to hear the baby's heartbeat!!! I am so happy for you. Congratulations on starting your second trimester.
I'm following your story as a fellow bipolar hottie* who hopes to someday be a pregnant bipolar hottie.
Congratulations for recognizing how mania effects your spending habits and finding other outlets. I drove myself into some pretty solid debt when I was only in the TTC planning phase! Yikes.
I wish positive mental health for you throughout your pregnancy and parenting. That's a tall order for some of us, but you've done so much work to get here.
Best,
Bree
* Doesn't "bipolar hottie" have a better ring than "sufferer" or "patient"?
