a little scare

it's sunday.  josh had already left to go preach at a church in donalds, sc.  jake is still in the shower and i am brushing my teeth.  jake said he was ready to get out of the shower.  i always ask him if he wants his duck towel or his frog towel.  he tells me frog, and then hollers duck (laughing)....silly boy.  and it all happens this fast.  as i am walking to jake's bathroom to get his towel, i start pouring (literally pouring) sweat.  whoa! so i turned the air down a few degrees.  by the time i walk back to the bedroom to take jake his towel, everything starts turning black.  things start spinning. i felt like i couldn't hear very well. i held on to the door way so i wouldn't fall.  it was all i could do just to make it to the bed (which is like 2 feet from the doorway).  i immediately called momma (who luckily lives across the road).  she came right away.  i had already eaten breakfast (cherrios) earlier.  momma took my blood pressure (because i am notorious for having high blood pressure during pregnancy) and it was 112/89.  not too bad.  so i'm not exactly sure what in the world happened.  perhaps my sugar levels dropped???  i do have hypoglycemia, but i usually don't have too many problems with it.  so momma made me two cheese eggs and eight pieces of bacon.  needless to say, she drove jake and i to church.  i slowly began to feel better.  how strange! luckily, i go to the doc. for the 16 week check up on tuesday.  i'm definitely gonna mention what happened.  any suggestions or ideas of what you think it could be?

  1. When I was pregnant with Maggie, I passed out twice.....once from being so sick and once from getting overheated. I wouldn't panic, but I'd mention it to your dr.
