My Hero!

Well on Friday I went to the doctor and told him of my debilitating nausea and morning sickness. I explained to him that I couldn't clean, cook, or take care of my family because every move I made sent new waves of nausea through my body. He put me on a little pill that I need to take every 6hrs and so far that little miracle pill has been my hero. I took it on Friday and felt better after only 2hrs. Saturday I had brunch with my family and I felt great. I even got to clean my kitchen and living room some. The only factor I had to deal with was fatigue but that wasn't too bad to deal with.

The doctor also gave me a chewable prenatal vitamin too. I couldn't keep the other vitamin down long enough so it could have any benefit to M. I go back on Thursday for an update on the nausea but I don't have a check up until the first week in February. We'll get to hear M's heartbeat and get another ultrasound then.

A light at the end of the tunnel

Although I'm probably about to jinx myself I'm gonna say that dispite getting sick by 11am I feel pretty good today. I discovered (at least I hope I'm right) that I can eat oatmeal and not have it make me feel like total crap. I'll try it again tomorrow and see how it goes. Also, I haven't been able to keep most things down including my prenatal vitamins so the doctor wants to see me this Friday (tomorrow) to try and find another option.

I'm going to try and get some cleaning done while I'm in good health, because I'm sure I'll be sofa bound in a few hours.

oh my nausea...

well it hasn't let up any, and some days are much worse than others. a friend of mine suggested i try seabands to lessen the nausea. I went to Walgreen's yesterday to get them and for the most part they don't work, but I'll keep them on and see if anything changes. I'm really hoping that this sickness will subside by the end of this month. I am so ready to be back to somewhat my normal self. AJ has been fantastic with my not feeling well. I definitely have to make it up to him when I'm feeling better.

First Picture

Well on the 5th I went to the doctor to check on the size of the baby. Everything looks great and my expected due date is August 16th, but since this is my second child it may be sooner. I go back in four weeks for another ultrasound and some other early screening tests. Hopefully by then they will let me hear M's heartbeat.

I've caught some parts of hubby's cold, so I've been extra tired, stuffed up, nauseous and just wiped out. He's feeling better, so hopefully I'll follow him in a day or two.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

This new year will bring many changes for our family, and the best change will be the birth of the newest Reed. I hope your year is as blessed as ours will be.
