Our first hospital visit..

Baby don't you know its a bit early for us to be making trips to the hospital??

On Sunday 10/12 I started to be sick. Really sick. Between Sunday morning and Monday morning I probably threw up close to two dozen times. When I woke up Monday to get ready for work I started to feel very weak. I called the kids dad (nanny job) and told him I wouldn't be able to come in, good thing he had the day off. After that I called Nancy (mil) and asked her to take me to the doctor. After fighting everyone up front I got to see Dr. Swegler- after she figured out I was severely dehydrated she called my ob, Dr. Emmett, and I was sent to HEB. I spent several hours in the ER, during which I got an ultra sound and was able to see Baby Love Bug once again. At first the tech wouldn't let me see the monitor or anything, finally she turned on the heartbeat and I just broke down into tears. I was so happy to hear that sweet precious noise. After the tech realized how stressed I was, she turned the monitor and pointed baby out to me! Later Monday evening I was finally admitted into the hospital where I remained until Wednesday evening. After some speculation we came to the conclusion that I had a nasty virus on top of my morning sickness.

I have been doing okay since, pretty weak and blah feeling but we are managing little one! Love you, Baby!!

New Name

I think I have settled on a nickname for baby- Baby Love Bug, or simply Love Bug. I wanted something cute and fun to name baby for the time being. I'm not crazy about some of the typical baby nicknames.

I slowed down on posting mainly because I allowed people to put doubt/fear into my mind about the pregnancy so I was starting to distance myself from everything. I've decided I don't want that. If others want to be skeptical about the pregnancy fine, but I'm not going to do that. This is my baby, and I'm going to enjoy this pregnancy as much as I can- regardless of how things go.

I had my first bout of morning sickness on Sunday the 21st. It was lovely- during church even. I felt fine afterwards, I even went to the gym that afternoon. Since then I have had a few other episodes. Today was my first multiple bathroom run. At work, at church- thankfully that was it. I've just been so queasy all day.

I've got nothing really to update on- just me puking my guts from time to time. It is reassuring to assume baby is doing good. I can't wait to see Baby Love Bug!! One more week!!! One more week!!! Giddy Giddy!!!
