15 weeks

I can't believe I will be 15 weeks in the morning. This pregnancy is going by so fast, I was talking with my sister and I realized that because I tend to go early, I good be half way done already. My OB believes I will make it to 30 weeks so I know I have at least 15 weeks left, maybe 20. I just can not believe it has gone by this fast. Wile realizing all of this I also realized I had not bought anything yet, I am not sure what if any thing I was really waiting on, so I went to Carter's today and Babies r us friday, I think I have gotten all the out fits you can buy for not knowing the sex of the baby, and that is about 6!!! Why is everything Pink or Blue?!? I have not gotten any gowns but my mom and sister is going to make me some and the ones at Carter's looked HUGE!! like 3-6 months HUGE and All they had in preemie sized were blue or pink, no yellow, no green, no white! So I decide to wait ang get the gerber ones, they are smaller, pluse I will have a ton I can buy after the baby is born, no matter when s/he is born I can always buy clothes later. Jason and I have already picked out the coming home outfits, for both boy and girl, if I go all the way and Baby gets to come home with mommy he will know what to go out and buy for us!

Out Growing Reflux

I am guessing Landon has out grown his reflux, When we went to Jason's moms house the weekend after mothers day, I left his Prevacid at home, I know... I know.... Well it is about 75$ for a weeks worth and because I had just gotten it refilled Insurance would not pay for it, so I thought I could buy 2 days worth, nope they don't have a walgreens up there so I would have had to buy the whole month, I didn't have the 350+ $ so I decided to just not worrie about it and if he needed it I could always give him an afternoon dose of Axid. Well he did really well off the Prevacid, he actually acted the same, there was no fussing and no gagging, not even a up turned nose at dinner. I was suprised but happy, so when we got home I decided not to give him any and just go with the Axid 2 times a day like he had been getting, except it was when he woke and before dinner. He didn't notice at all, so a month later when we were out of Axid, in need of a re-fill, I decided not to fill it, I knew I could give him our Mylanta back up if he was in need in the middle of the night, or I could always share my tums LOL, I was hoping he wouldn't notice the stop and guess what... he hasn't. No fussing, No puke, No gagging, No up turned nose at dinner. He eats more than he did wile on all the meds, he is growing good, I know this because he is in need of bigger clothes!! 2T clothes, where as just 6 weeks ago 18 months were a bit loose. I am happy about all of this, he still has another GI clinic in aug. and wile I have thought about not taking him in I have decided to go ahead with it, mainly so it will show in his chart we stopped coming because he got better, not just that I didn't show to his appointment.

13.4 week appointment. and ER trip

Things went well. I didn't blog my trip to the ER because I felt so bad, but the meds are he;lping and I am feeling some better, so I will start there. Sunday I woke up around 3am I crampy, it didn't last but like 30minutes, so I went back to sleep, Jasonw as at work any how so I would have had to call and wake my sister and mom up so I was glad it went away like it did. Then we went to moms for my G-maws birthday lunch, my back was hurting and at 3pm I was cramping again so I got Jason to take me to the ER. I was taken back quick, asked a bunch of questions and gave my urine. They were all really nice and said they could try to find the Heart beat, but there monitor was old down stairs labor and delivery has all the new stuff, and sometimes they can't hear it until 15 weeks, well I decided to let them try and the nurse found it in no time. The rate was 166 BPM, turns out I had a really bad UTI, so they gave me meds and sent me on my way. The meds suck, they make me tired. Any way I went to the OB yesterday, all is still good still have the UTI, but the meds are working NO more bad headaches. My BP was great 100/55 (normal for me) and The baby's HR was 164, I am to dink water like a fish, although I am not sure they actually "drink" the water LOL. Any how both baby and I are fine, we go back to the OB in a month I will have the AFP blood test done at that appointment, then in Aug. I will have my big ultrasound (no not finding out the sex!!. So that is it we are fine. I hope I make it the next month without calling the Dr. or going to the ER, lets see if I make it!

What do you mean Morning sickness can last 9 months!

By morning Sickness, I really mean the all day sickness and yuck feeling I have 24 hours a day. I believe whoever it was that decided to call it morning sickness must have either been crazy, a man, or both, because no one who has even felt the way I do could call this morning sickness. I am sick from the time my eyes open in the morning until they close at night and sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with pain in my head so bad it would make the strongest man cry. The only thing that has been keeping me going these past few weeks is the thought that most women get better between 12 and 14 weeks, then I found out this week that it can last the whole 9 months, WTH am I going to do if this doesn't go away. I don't think I am going to make it like this, I can't do anything, I am 2 days shy of 13 weeks and I feel no better than I did a month ago. I am not just whining here, I am just a lil worried that if I don't start feeling better soon, my children are not going to be taken care of, the way they should be taken care of. I am doing the best that I can now and Jason has been ok with all of it, we are spending a lot of money in take out foods, cause I can't cook. We are also depending on my mom some on the really bad days and there have been days I am not able to hold my head up at all. Now some of you might be thinking what does the doctor say?? Well, I haven't called him, and why not you ask, becasue the meds they give you (phenagan) knockes me out, SO I would be taking the meds, sleeping for 6 hours and waking up just in time to take more meds. OK so what happens to my other kids wile I sleep for a few months?? I guess they would have to be taken care of by other people, so my question is how is that helping me? I would miss more than I already am! I already feel as if I don't do a lot with them, I am sure I would feel worse. I know I have lost some weight, Last week when I was at moms I had lost 5 pounds, I don't know how this doctor feels about me not gainning weight, I lost 22 pounds with Aden so I am not that worried about it, I did get yelled at for it, diffrent OB so I am hoping I don't get yelled at on Thursday that is when I go back to the doctor. If I don't feel better by then I guess I will have to get something if not for the throwing up, at least for the headaches!!
