Thanks everyone for your support and encouragement. The last few days had been hard but I am doing better today. Maybe because I was actually able to get some good sleep and take it easy being at home. Most days I am running trying to get out the door to work. I saw my doctor yesterday for my first appointment. She did do an ultrasound, which I though was so much fun at this stage. I saw the heartbeat and the umbilical cord which we could see pulsing. She said that is unusual to see this early. I am on a schedule of Pepcid every morning and night, Tums at each meal, and Vitamin B6 and Unisom at night. My doctor thinks I have a bad case of Pregnancy Reflux. I am measuring a little earlier than I though, so my new due date is 7/7/09. Jamie is a few days ahead of me again :) I will have another ultrasound the day after Christmas so Chris will be able to go.
Here is my new little one. Just looks like a blob, but a cute blob :)
Yeah for seeing a healthy little peanut!! Aaron is hoping one of you hits his b-day of 7/5. :) Glad you are feeling a little better today. I hope the new regimen works for you.
If I went by my ovulation date and length of my LP, my due date would actually be 7/5...but I guess I'll stick with what my doctor said for now :)
I'm sooo glad they gave a regimen. I sure hope it works! The picture is itty bitty, but it's a cute little baby you have in there! Your baby could be born on 7/8/9 ;)
Yay for a healthy blob!! ;) I'm so glad Wentross has you on some meds to help with all those nasty side effects of pregnancy. Can't wait to see the ultrasound closer up at church tomorrow! And I'll show you mine! :)
I think we're having lunch with you guys tomorrow too at Don and Jean's? :)
It sounds like your dr really listened and has a plan for your sickness. I hope it helps! Love the picture - and so glad SHE is healthly. haha - yes, I am already guessing a girl for you. I think I'm having a boy, Jamie's having a girl, Crystal's having a boy, and your having a girl. We'll see how wrong I become. I am 1 for 1 - I thought a girl for Carrie. :)
^That made me smile, too. I don't have a Jamie gender vibe yet (although I think girl because Carrie is a girl). I thought Carrie was a girl. Lindsay - boy for sure. The baby looks just like Craig in there so I automatically think "boy." Missy - girl. Crystal - girl.
Well I don’t have much to say right now except I feel like I am going to die. Well not really but it is that bad. I am so so sick from this pregnancy. It has gotten worse than my pregnancy with Dylan. I am sick all day long and all night long. Last night I was sick most of the evening and then I woke up with fire heartburn and a really full stomach feeling. I had to give in and take some Pepcid. I was so tired and there was no way I could sleep feeling like that. I also ended up breaking blood vessels in my eyes from throwing up. All I can say is I really hope that things start to turn around soon. I see my doctor on Friday so I hope she can help me out a little. I know there is really not much she can do but maybe she has some ideas I have not tried.
Sorry to complain. This is really all I have to talk about right now though. I just have been focusing on getting through each day as it comes.
I'm so sorry this one is really taking a toll on you. Even harder, I'm sure, with a little one to care for. I hope the doctor has a magic cure for you! :)
Oh yuck! I am so sorry this one is so hard! I hope this passes soon. Is there anything we can bring you? Some popsicles for hydration? Crackers? More pepcid? Preggie Pops?
Missy, I had the same sort of stuff with my 2nd & 3rd babies...with Chelsea I got vitamin B shots (I think weekly for a while)and it helped immensely with the nausea and vomiting...
I REALLY thought I was in the clear this pregnancy. I have felt so good so far. By this time in my pregnancy with Dylan I deep into my nausea and feeling ill all day long.
Well, last night I woke up at 2:30 with a serious burning stomach and have felt nauseous off and on all day. So I guess I am not in the clear this time either. However, so far it is nowhere near how bad I had it with Dylan. That I AM thankful for! I have no idea how I would survive work this quarter feeling that bad.
I just feel like I have to eat every hour to subside the ill feeling. This is what I did last time and gained a large chunk of my pregnancy weight in the first 10 weeks. I guess that is what I am going to have to deal with so I can feel normal.
I just baked some banana bread to snack on for the week. It smells so good! Maybe this will be my cure to nausea!! :)
I haven't had any nausea yet - I would actually like to feel some so that I know this pregnancy is real! I hope you feel better soon! I'm glad you're not feeling as sick as you were with Dylan.
I'll bring you some preggie pop drops on Wednesday - I have some left over in each of my 2 containers, so I'll give Jamie some and you some. I hope your nausea doesn't get too bad!!
If I eat something I usually feel better for a little bit but then when I think about what I just ate or I have to go clean it up I want to vomit. It's all I can do not to fall asleep at my desk - this day is dragging!
Yes, I am pregnant! We are expecting our new baby on July 2, 2009. We would apprecite your prayers for a healthy baby. I was asked if I wanted a boy or a girl this time and I have not decided. Chris, however, really wants a girl!! A little surprising to me but also so cute :)
My doctor does not see patients until they are at least 8 weeks along so I have my first appointment on Nov. 21st. I should at least be able to hear the baby's heartbeat then. I cannot wait!
It is going be be a very full baby class in a year or so... :)
I am soooooo ready! I hear you and Chris are going to the Oregon game. I would go but I would freeze so I am staying at Chad and Sarah's with my mom and oldest brother. Hope you guys have fun!!!
We get our first ultrasounds on the same day!! We can count down together! At least it's not too much longer. Congrats and welcome to the pregnancy train :)
We have come to the conclusion that it will be a long time until Chris will be on a day shift with Pepsi. There are some good things about his job there, a pension, room to get promoted, etc. But recently he was contacted by his old boss at Freightliner and they want him back badly. They are willing to create a day shift for him there and give him a raise. It is a longer drive and he will lose his pension but he will also get back his seniority of 8 years towards his vacation. Pepsi has not followed through on any promises from hiring him so I think he is really excited to possibly return to Freightliner. And don't worry, the recent stuff in the news about Freightliner does not affect where he would be working. Decisions, Decisions.
Dylan is getting more and more fun each day. I love watching him learn so many new things. I was so proud this week. He finally held my hand for our dinner prayer! This is a huge step for him. He hates his hands to be forced to do anything.
This week he also decided that his tickle-me-elmo was "pee you" and put a diaper on him. LOL!! I love it! :)
I love the age Dylan is at, they do something new and cute everyday! I hope the decision you guys come to is the best. Pray about it and it will work out. :)
