Shopping is Not For the Fainthearted . . .

So, for the last few months allready I have been reading in my pregnancy books that it is normal to feel dizzy and have shortness of breath. All the while, I was thinking - finally, a negative pregnancy symptom that I have not had! Well, I thought too soon, I guess because on Tuesday, I was shopping with a friend and I suddenly had to sit down because I thought I would flop to the floor if I didn't! Then yesterday, my mom took me out shopping for my Birthday and we had to stop every few minutes for me to sit down and drink some cold water. It was kind of scary! I had met up with my friend Tracy in the mall and we were doing some catching up, and I told her that shopping had been tiring me out so I leaned against a table. A couple minutes later, I had to abandon our conversation and make a beeline out of the store to find a bench because I was seeing black spots and nearly fainted. Needless to say, me and my mom did not stay at the mall for long after that. But the day picked up and I felt a lot better by lunchtime.
