Update
Well it's been a while so I thought I'd update this here blog...

First off.....I went to the ob yesterday, an unexpected visit, but we (hubby met me there) I was seen due to the excessive vommiting I still have going on....so the doc decided to try a different scrip, and also give me a little time to get used to said scrip and to see if it works for me....so I'm out on disability until July 10th...The pharmacy did not have the scrip on hand so I go to pick it up tomorrow and we shall see if it helps me....I'll do anything to end this barfing! Yesterday (one of the times I barfed while driving) I had just gone to target to pick up a few essentials when I felt it....I quickly emptied the bag I'd just gotten all the items put in and proceeded to vommit right into the bag...well I didn't realize the bag wasn't quite lined up with my chin....and so...yes I had a bag of barf....but I also had a load of barf all over my chin and chest....it was lovely. That was me on my first attempt to go to the OB....didn't make it that time....because I had to go home and clean up after that one...or so I thought....bee bopping along to home....keep in mind I live about 1.5 miles from Target....I am feeling fine when all of a sudden once again...BOOM....I have to barf N O W.....so I rush from the furthest left lane....all the way to the furthest right lane to the gas station on the corner and let loose......ahhh......releif.....and THEN I was on my way home.......

Take two....on the trip to the ob.....pretty much the same....except...I successfully was able to pull over into some parking lots and barf in some random bushes a couple times on the way over....so that was that.....made it to the docs and I was feeling better.....there wasn't anything left to bring up......ya know.....so anyway....she said she wants me to take this time and see if this pill will help with the nausea and barfing....I'm hoping it will do the trick....she said she didn't give this to me first because "it's really expensive" I said I could give a rats ass about the price....bring on the relief!!!!!! Not too mention the most we can pay for a scrip with our insurance is 25$ and that's only if there is no generic and 25$ is freaking nothing.....I want relief! So I pick that up tomorrow :)

My Sister (the one who makes and paints all those adorable cloth diapers) is getting married on Sunday....so our flight leaves first thing Friday morning....we're taking the dog to be boarded tomorrow....and will be on our way to San Diego.....we'll get to see her new house and where she's living now...so that should be fun...My Husband and I plan on going to the San Diego Zoo while we're there for some alone time on Friday....then Saturday we'll go with the family to Sea World....then Sunday is wedding time....I'm the Maid of Honor :) Everything is all planned out....everything is all going to be so great....I can't wait...it's going to be a great day...I'm so happy for her :) It's going to be a beautiful outdoor ceremony right on the water....in the afternoon they are having 6 attendents on each side....and a flower girl and ring boy....My nephew of course is the ring bearer :) He is most excited about the fact that he "gets a present" for being in the wedding more than anything...he cracks me up....
We come back Monday morning...with Nephew in tow...he'll be staying with us for 2 weeks this summer while his Mom and Dad go on their honeymoon to Paris and Prauge (sp) He is SOOOOO looking forward to being with Auntie :) (I *am* the best Auntie in the world) He's really excited actually because Uncle Larry told him if he's a good boy while he's here he gets to go home with our piggy bank...full of silver money....so the kid is way freaking stoked.....he thinks he's going to be rich...and he can buy everything he's ever wanted! Oh....he kills me...that kid....he really does...he's a kick in the pants!.....He's 7.....and he knows "it all" I tell you....

Belly Button pain
I started having this pulling pain I guess I'd describe it that way...but it's sort of like a pulling...and a ache when I move....it's the weirdest....
Does anyone else have something similar going on? I can't really find any info on it for people this early on...Mostly for people around 20+ weeks along....
Just wondering if anyone has had this happen to them...to all the gals who are/were knocked up........

taking a break
I'm taking a break from making dinner....man I'm hotter than heck! Slaving over the hot stove really gets to a gal!
We're having home made spanish rice and fajitas with fresh guacamole and the fixins....yummmy....can't wait for it to be done....hubby took over the reigns he's in charge of the black beans and cooking up the meat real quick like....then we'll be good to go...and ready for the feast.

I weighed myself again this morning....looks like I'm still the same as when I had my last doctor appointment so that's good...I don't want to gain too fast....considering I'm only supposed to gain 15-20 pounds since I'm starting way above my ideal body weight to begin with.....so I really don't want to gain any more than that to be honest.....and I am looking forward to losing weight after this is all said and done.....

Our house is roasting right now.....it's practically raining outside right now and we have the a/c on! hahahaha becuase we're boiling from every burner on the stove being on....

I only threw up once today :) Can you say miracle? It was at work...and there was a lady in the bathroom two stalls away....she came in...sat down...went pee SOOOO fast and jetted out of the bathroom soooo fast........she must have wanted to barf herself having to listen to it.....I know I would! She was standing outside the bathroom door when I was done when I walked out she was like ARE YOU OK???? hahhaha....I said yes....I'm fine....really........she's 7 months pregnant herself....but she has never been sick with her little one....lucky.

Anyway.....I just needed to get out of the kitchen for a little bit so my eyes could recover from the onion cry I had going on.......I think I'm good now......no more onion cry......for now.......I even did that little trick where I soaked the onion in ice water before slicing it...it usually does the trick for me....but not this time....

OK I'm off to help hubby if there's anything left for me to do to help prepare dinner....toodles

staying alive...staying alive...oh..oh...oh....staying alive
Yeah.....
I'm home again...I only lasted a half day at work today....becuase I was better off at home than wasting works time sitting on the floor in the bathroom....I have thrown up 8 times today so far...and it's just after noon......lucky me.

I got some gatorade from Target on the way home so far it's staying down...I ate a bland baked potato when i came home...and so far that too is staying down.....I also just about five minutes ago too one of my phenegrams (sp) the scrip I have for morning sickness...only the 3rd one I've taken so far....but I don't think my throat can take any more throwing up today....nor can my teeth! They totally feel like they are going to fall out from the puking! Not that they will...I have strong teeth...and keep up to date with cleanings and all that good dental hygene....so I'm aware they won't actually fall out....it's just not neat the way they feel after I throw up.

I'm feeling fine (other than the obvious all day sickness) with the pregnancy....we've begun tearing the office apart and getting it ready to be the nursery.....we've rearranged the furniture from the office into the living room....(it all matches) and we just have to get rid of my desk to the goodwill and bring hubbys desk to our room and that part of the project will be done.....we're keeping our fold out couch in there for now because we'll be having my nephew here with us for two weeks next month staying in that room....and he'll be sleeping on the sofa bed....after that it's sionara to that as well.....we have a gang load of 'stuff' to take to goodwill....as per our usual....we always have a gang load of stuff to take there....we take a donation at least 2 times a month I swear....we're good about getting rid of things we don't use anymore...and that have over time just begun to 'take up space' so we just donate it there and have it out of our hair....ya know.....much easier that way than trying to have a garage sale or selling crap on ebay.....that's just too much work!

Anywhoozle....I'm feeling better from that fall....my ribs aren't bruised anymore....and my gigantic rug burn is almost gone...it's soooooo itchy though since it's heeling right now...i've just been putting calamine lotion on it so i don't scratch my arm off! hahahaha....I swear I have NO SELF CONTROL when it comes to scratching things like that...or bug bites or what have you....I scratch em raw I tell you............

We're excited for our 20 week scan and we're hoping to find out the sex of jr. I can't wait............I'll be curios to see the measurements of the baby too...since it's been since the first scan since those were taken.....which I'm aware is the norm.....just anxios to find out what we're having.....to know if it will be baby name A or baby name B :)

Scary day
I had a pretty bad day today.
It started out normal, as with any other day...I ate breakfast.....barfed it right back up......got ready for work....barfed on the way....and then got to work.....all was 'normal'....

I had been to work for about 15 minutes when I felt the urge to barf...so I got up from my chair and ran towards the bathroom....as I was running I made it about 10 strides when I fell and landed smack dab on my stomach I started to freak out and cry because I automatically thought OMG I just fell on my stomach I just killed my baby.....those were the thoughts running through my head...as I laid on the ground crying from the pain of the gigantic rug burn I got on my elbow area...I remembered the reason I was running in the first place and said "oh my god I'm gonna barf" and jumped up and ran to the bathroom....a co worker followed me in there and held my hair...hahahaha....that was kind of funny....but it was a nice gesture.
Afterwards she put some ointment on my rug burned elbow and a bandage....and when I got back to my office everyone was concerned and worried....naturally....the pregnant lady just fell ON HER STOMACH! They were right to be worried....

I called the hospital for some advice as to what to do....I told the woman who answered the phone what happened and her exact words were "and WHY are you on the phone and not in the ER?" I said....ok I just didn't know what I was supposed to do....this has never happened to me before....she said "get here now"

So I had a coworker take me to the ER and my Husband met me there....I had to have the coworker pull over on the freeway once becuase I had to barf something fierce and she has a nice convertible BMW....and I didn't think it would be too thoughtful of me to barf in there! She pulled right on over and I barfed....and we went on our merry way......
When I got to the hospital ER there were other people there waiting but I was told to go right on back (that's a first) and they had me pee in a cup to test for blood in my urine...and they checked for the babys heartbeat....the RN found it right away.....what a releif!!!
After she left I stripped down to my undies and waited for the doc to come in...he was very nice....said "never wear those shoes again" as a little joke.....I said...funny I've heard that "joke" 3 times since the fall! hahhaha
anyway.....he checked me all out...and said I looked fine....and baby seemed to be happy still in there.....but just to be safe he did an ultrasound.....I was SOOO happ to see my baby in there jumping allllll around....it was hard to get a shot of the baby becuase it was on a trampoline and just kept bouncing everywhere and bouncing right off the screen...it was cute. I was admitted just to be watched for a while....but later released when all seemed well enough to go home......I took the rest of the day off.....per docs orders...and am scheduled to go to my normal OB for a follow up visit tomorrow at 10:30 am just for one last check to make sure all is well still.

On the way home from the hospital....I had the NEED to barf again...I was on the phone with my sister and the hubby was driving.....I said I HAVE TO BARF.....I got off the phone with my sister real quick...he pulled over and I jumped out...barfed in someones yard...and hopped back in the car and we drove away....hahahaha...looking back that was kind of funny!

The only good thing about today was we got to see our baby again.....that was unexpected because our next scan is not until 20 weeks....but we got to see our little jumping bean today :) Here is the shot.....it's blurry...but it's still a picture :)

and here is the same shot with some 'markers' for reference :)

doctor visit #2
Today I had my 12 week visit it was an uneventful visit!
As all is going well...
My blood work from the past visit was all good....I'm not a Cistic Fibrosis carrier...I have A+ blood type...and everything else they tested for came out negative...so that's always a plus! My blood pressure was 121/74 and I've gained 2 pounds so far. That was basically the visit in a nutshell.

My Husband took a new shot of my belly tonight....so here it is...compared to the last one...the first one taken at 6wks5dys and then the one today taken at 12wks0dys

Baby things!!!
Just thought I'd post some of the things we'll be getting for baby :)

First off we got these two cute little outfits for jr.




This cute little lamby was calling jr.'s name when I saw it...so I *had* to have it...


And these are some of the things on the list "to buy" for baby in a few months down the road....

The Bugaboo Cameleon stroller in Black and grey...


Next...this is the high chair we want...it's nice because it doesn't take up too much room and it's still functional...


Then...this is the Diaper bag we've chosen......

<


Next up is the swing....


Then we'll be getting two of these....one for each car....the Britax Boulevard...



And this concludes my show and tell session for the day!

yo
I'm still alive.
I have been having my ass kicked by work, and morning sickness!

What is with me barfing and having a bloody nose all at the same time!

The other day the barf was coming out so strong it all splashed in my face....twas lovely...3 seconds later as i was heaving yet another time in the same barfing session....a gallon of blood comes dripping out of my nose....as I'm barfing...with splashed barf on my face....to top that all off......during that little 'session' I managed to burst a blood vessel or what have you....in my left eye...leaving it hideous to this day and allll read in the white part of my eye.....I really should have taken a picture.....I looked like I had gotten in a horrible bar fight or something when it was all said and done....barf on my face....blood running down my face.....a blood shot left eye....and looking like death.......I was a picture of beauty at that moment to my Husband I'm sure!

Oh....the joys!

hahahhaa

sorry if that was just a little disgusting to read!

Anywhoozle....

Today or rather this morning....I've chosen to stay home from work due to a morning yet again filled with barfing....bloody noses...and a HORRIBLE back ache...I think I pulled a muscle in my back....it hurts like a motha in between my shoulder blades.....ouch. So...me and my red ass eye are home today. Been barfing...and bleeding out of my nose holes and all the fun stuff that I've described has prevented me from getting ready for work....so screw that.....I'm not having a pleasant morning...I had to take one of my morning sickness pills from the scrip I got earlier in the pregnancy....which means I'll be out like a light in about 5 more minutes for about 3 hours.....because that is what the "releif" in the pill is.....it knocks your ass OUT. Plain and simple.

So before I pass out while typing this....I'm going to go lay down in my bed so I don't just drop somewhere else and sleep for hours in some uncomfortable position further hurting my aching back!

Toodles.
Hey....all this means I'm still all knocked up :) So heck......

PS....my gut is telling me this is a boy....and as my boss put it....he's kicking my ass!
