Yes, I'm blogging about my hoo-hoo. I feel bad for complaining but I can't take it much anymore. I have a belt (thanks Mom!) but it's not helping as much as I hoped. I can't sleep because of the hip/hoo-hoo pain, I can't sit and I can't walk. I'm already waddling. I also have the sciatic nerve pain in full force.
When I sleep, my hips and legs burn. They feel like they are on fire. Never in any of my other 5 pregnancies have I done this. I'm still puking too. At least once a week pretty much. Which I'll take once a week instead of 5-6x a day!
On the up side, the boy is moving like crazy. Some days he punches or kicks so hard it hurts. Even that pain I'll take. Being able to feel your child move inside you is something that I will always cherish, even with the shitty pain everywhere else. He had the hiccups yesterday, man I miss those!
Ooooh and he's got a name. It's Jaylon. I love it, so does Kenna and Sean. Sean's actually the one who found it on the internet, like we did with Kenna's name. Jaylon just seems perfect for this big guy!
So, there's a small update for you. I won't go back to the doc until after the first of the year, but right now there's no need for an appt...all is going well!
The baby looks GREAT!
The baby is measuring at 19wks 2days, so a week early and is 10 oz. The placenta is even looking good. I won't know the actual report for 3 wks when I go back in but the tech told me that all looked good.
The new 3d/4d machine was broken so I was stuck on the crappy machine so the pics suck, but oh well...
here's the face and tummy:
And here's the money shot...I KNEW IT!
I cannot wait! Tomorrow at 9 is my big u/s. Then we'll know for sure what kind of baby we're growing in there and how healthy he is! I'll update with pics tomorrow! Wish us luck!
With the Fruit and Yogurt Parfait from McD's. But I hate paying $1 for a teeny tiny one when I get that craving. Does anyone know what flavor yogurt it is in there? Is it plain or is it vanilla? I'm going to the store today and getting stuff to make my own, dammit!
Here it is, not too late. But can you see in the middle reindeer...I put a baby reindeer in the belly! Tee hee hee!
alot like Christmas here! And I'm so excited! I'm waiting to do the tree until we get home from our Turkey Day trip, only because it's usually a day after thanksgiving thing for us so I just can't bring myself to do it before the trip. But I did decorate the mantle and that excites me alone because it's our first mantle! We finally have that fireplace that Ive wanted to make all Christmasy. Our stockings look great. I found a green one at Target today (for next year with the baby) and decided to get it since I only have three and didn't want to NOT find one to match next year, KWIM?
The mantle alone makes me want to burst out in carols and drink non-alcoholic egg nog, or hot chocolate! LOL...
I'm now classified as disabled by the government. I was approved for social security. My w/c offsets any money (ugh) but when that is over (next year) I'll be able to get SSD money. If I get WC then I don't get money, if it's considered LTD then I will see some of the SSD. If that makes sense.
I never thought I'd be disabled at 29 and I never thought I'd be approved after just 4 months! LMAO!
I'm 14 weeks today...yipeee. 2nd tri and I should be feeling better, but I don't. Even with the meds there are days that I just feel like shit, all day long. Today is one of those shitty days.
The whacko dreams of pregnancy have begun. And there's a central theme to all of my dreams; death. Don't have to psychoanalyze myself to find the meaning of that, huh?
The baby is the size of a lemon...3 1/2 inches long and weighs 1 1/2 oz. Awwwwwwwwww!
That is all for today...
Hey, I'll take any victory lately! So, today I went to the grocery store for the first time since becoming pregnant. See...when you're pregnant and have hyperemesis this is the math equation:
grocery store + food smells = "clean up on isle 8 please"
Not a fun day and I hadn't been back. Luckily I have an awesome husband who does the shopping for me so I don't call him weeping from the local store saying that I just hurled and I feel horrible and now I have snot everywhere and I'm so embarrassed...you get the point. And Sean's done well in the shopping relm. Getting stuff I never think to or wouldn't dare try when I'm nauseated 24x7.
But today, today was different. I had a short nap, as opposed to my 4 hr nap, after I took Kenna to school. I awoke and felt ready to go. I went and got my weekly shopping done, without a gag or gagging feeling. The plus side to all of this is I only got one thing that wasn't on my list (thanks to a little nausea still nothing looked good)...Egg Nog ice cream. Thank god for the holidays!
Dare I say I'm feeling somewhat normal, with the help of 2 different meds and 2-4 hr naps all day long? Hey, I'll take it!
Ok...so this is going to be fast. I had to go to the Ob/Gyn ER on Wednesday because I can't stop hurling. They admited me and I just got home late last night. Sorry if you're family and this is the first time you're hearing of this. My cell phone died and I honestly didn't have any energy left to do anything.
I've lost a crap load of weight and my Zofran didn't work. I was totally dehydrated, worse than ever before. Then the poops started. But I'm home now and exhausted.
I'm on Zofran every 12 hrs and Reglan before every meal and at dinner. We'll see how much that Reglan costs since I haven't filled it yet.
Plus side I heard the baby and he's doing great! He even kicked the doppler and the doc couldn't believe that he could actually feel it! And I was on the maternity floor so I heard newborn babies all night, so that was so sweet too, just reminded me of the end! :)
So, I need to catch up on my 'hood and read posts but I may not comment today.
