I was feeling ambitious yesterday. My energy seems to have returned to an extent and I thought we could get a lot done yesterday. So we got up and got ready to leave--I wanted to go to JC.Penney to look for maternity clothes. I found out that they didn't open until 10 and we were ready to go around 9, so we stopped by the AT&T store to look at phones. Talked to a very nice salesman about their cable. Anyway, we spent about an hour in there and told him we would return before he left for the day. We got some breakfast and went to the mall. No luck on maternity clothes there, so we went to another mall (much further away) and did have some luck--I got a pair of khakis for a decent price. Once done there, we picked up some lunch and went home. We ate lunch, sat around for awhile, did some online shopping, then decided we should get back to AT&T.
Went back to AT&T and after standing there for about 45 minutes (their computer system was having problems), I started feeling panicky. The store was also really hot, so I thought if I just stepped outside, I'd be okay. I did and felt somewhat okay out there, but realized I needed to go back in. I walked back in and started feeling worse. Next thing I knew, everything started going black. I told DH "I need to sit down" and went and sat on the only seat for customers that they had. Once I sat down, I felt better. I took off my coat and DH went and got me my bottle of water from the car. I found a Kashi bar in my purse and ate that. The salesman was really, really concerned (he has a 4-year old and I had just told him that we were expecting) and had DH go get the car when I was ready. It was cute.
I felt sort of off for the rest of the day, even though I went home and ate some food, drank some more water, and just relaxed. My head feels a little cloudy this morning, but better. I just wish I knew what caused it: 1) overheating 2) low blood sugar 3) dehydration or 4) anxiety. I want to make sure I avoid it, whatever it was!!!

Scary! I hope it was a one time thing and you don't have to deal with it again!
oh how scary! It's actually really easy to get dehydrated in the winter because we don't always realize we need to drink water - since we're cold, not hot. So it could have been that and you do need to drink more water now that you have the baby on board. I bet the heat didn't help at all. It could also have been a low blood sugar and the baby could have been saying "Eat more food dang it! I'm growing something important in here." He he, silly babies.
WOW! That is scary. I hope that you are feeling better today. {{hug}}
