24 weeks and a z-pack!!!!

I had my 24 weeks check up today. I determined I was going to ask for some meds. I just can't fight this cold thing I have had for about 3 weeks now. Turns out I have a sinus infection. My doctor said I should've asked sooner and to never be afraid to ask. I thought I was just being a weenie and couldn't handle a little cold. My little guy is still measuring a week ahead but we are not going to change my dates. I did my gestational diabetes test today. I hope it turns out ok.
Also, My doc is going to send me for a specialized high def 3d/4d ultrasound. She said she was reviewing my last ultrasound and the placenta was a little high. I asked her what that meant and she said it was nothing to worry about and didn't eleborate. She said she just wanted to get a closer look at things. So we will see how that turns out!
I am glad to get a z-pack and I hope to start feeling better soon!!!

Special Olympics!!!

Today we went to Special Olympics in Putnam City. The kids were so excited!!!!
They did so good!! We got serveral first places and second places!!!! I am so proud of the kids!
We had a fun day but my feet are killing me.
Being on your feet all day, running from event to event, and running with kids for motivation is not recommended when you're 22 weeks pregnant!!!
Oh yeah, and I got a sunburn on my face!! Who knew that would happen in 60 degree weather!!!

20 week appointment!!!

I had my 20 week appointment today!!! Everything is going great!!! I have gained 12 pounds in total. I thought that was a little much but the doctor said I was right on track. I also learned that I probably won't be able to have an epidural due to my back being mostly metal. My doc said we will need to talk to the anesthesiologist but she guesses I won't be able to. Thats a bummer! Oh well, I guess I need to prepare for pain!

I have had a good week back at work. I really do miss those kids when we have a break! They are such good kids. They are so excited about the baby!!!! They rub and kiss the belly about a thousand times a day!!!

ultrasound today!!!

We had our complete ultrasound today. Our little boy is quite the show off. He was doing summer saults, sucking his thumb, and playing peek a boo. He was waving his fist at us, as if he was telling us to leave him alone. We already love him so much!!!

I am so glad it is spring break!!! I have a week off and nothing that I have to do !!!!!!!!!

16 week appointment!!!!!!

We had our 16 week appointment today!!!! At first, she was having a little trouble finding the heartbeat b/c the baby kept moving around. So, she sent us down the hall to get an ultrasound. The tech found it right away!!! 154 bpm!!! Then she said ohhh!!! We were like what was that. She said well I think I can tell the sex, do you want to know or do you want to wait for your next appointment. Pat and I looked at each other and said OF COURSE WE WANT TO KNOW!!!!!! Right when she said that, the legs closed!! So I got up and moved around a little and went to the bathroom then came back. Then we saw it!!!! He is proud of what he's got. IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!
We are really excited!! I had an inking that it was a boy at first and then the heart rate was high so it put some doubt in my mind!! He is already a tricky little boy.

food poisoning on top of morning sickness...not a good combo

So after being up all night friday night, We determined it was probably something other than morning sickness. I started throwing up about 1am and didn't stop until about noon on saturday. Then I thought I was feeling a little better and tried some chicken broth but I threw that up as well. I kept trying to take my anti-nausea meds but couldn't keep it down.
After some gatorade, I was finally able to keep some broth down about 6pm last night.
I can't remember the last time I have been that sick. I think pat thought he was going to have to take me to the ER. He said if you don't keep this broth down (the one at 6pm) I am taking you to the ER.
I was still a little weak this morning, so Pat let me stay home while he went to church. I am doing pretty good now. I kept down some soup and I am feeling a lot stronger.
I don't think I will be eating chinese at the mall for a while.
