Pregnancy update!

Okay so this part is a very late update but I need to write it down. When I was 14.5 weeks I had another bleed. I woke up around 2 or 3 am to go to the bathroom and that's when it took place. It wasn't as bad as the first one but I still had clotting and it was very scary. I already had an appt scheduled for the next day so I just had to wait. I didn't sleep a wink! The next day my dr sent me in to get another ultrasound. She said the heartbeat was great but she wanted to make sure everything else was okay too. In the end everything looked good and I was told to take it easy. We ended up with some cute ultrasound pics though! Here is his/her cute lil profile:)


I took this picture at 16 weeks!

I took my Iv out on Memorial Day! I had been weaning myself off of getting my medicine through my Iv and trying to take it orally instead. This was suggested to me by my dr. I probably should have waited a little longer to go off of my fluids but I am just so done with always having something in my arm! I am doing really well so far! I am extra extra tired and I can tell my blood pressure is low but I just rest when I need to. I am able to eat and keep most things down as of right now. Drinking fluids is the challenge. Currently i only drink country time lemonade. Haha. Its a nice change from all the months of ginger ale though! I'm hoping I will be able to drink water in the near future without getting sick. I can deal with the nausea and that will most likely accompany me through the whole pregnancy like last time. Hopefully soon I can stop feeling like this is a trial run off of Iv home care and be able to call it permanent! I have been doing normal things (grocery shopping, showering:), taking Brody to the park, going to church) which is refreshing but I'm still working on my strength and endurance for normal activities. My nurse has been so great and will be on stand by for as long as I need her to. We have some fun family trips planned and I need to get to where I can travel and enjoy the summer!:)

This picture was taken at 19 weeks 1 day

We find out what we are having on Wednesday, June 5th! We are so excited!!!:) I can't wait to hit the yard sales looking for fun stuff for baby!
