Update

This is a late night for me! Woo hoo! I am off work tomorrow, so I know I get to sleep in! Yay! Sleep, wonderful sleep. I was telling Chuck that I think 'Charmma' is getting me ready for it's arrival by having me get up every 2 or 3 hours to pee. What's up with that? Enough already. I'm well aware that it's just going to get worse too!

We are getting the kid tomorrow when Chuck gets off work. We will have them over night. It's always interesting sleeping through the night with Cameron. Chuck also has to get up earlier than normal to go to work Saturday morning. Looks like the night wakes will be up to me! We are going out Saturday night (won't I be a barrel of laughs as I'm sleeping at the table! LOL) which is why he is working in the morning. The munchkins and I will get along fine. At least I'll have plenty of time for my nap when I take them home! Ha ha ha! Hopefully Chuck can squeeze one in before we leave! We haven't been out in a while, so it will be nice.

That's really it for now. No really big complaints. As long as I eat when I'm hungry and don't wait too long, I'm good to go. Knock on wood. I'm so paranoid I'm going to get sick at some point. I keep counting down the first trimester. Yes, yes I know. You can be sick at any point during your pregnancy. I'm pretending there is no way it will happen to me! If being tired and hungry every few hours is what I have to deal, with? No problem!

woo hoo!

So far so good! No more sick feeling! At least when I woke up the other night in the middle of the night, that hasn't happened again. Phew. I was worried about that being my morning sickness! I'm a little over 8 weeks into this and feeling pretty good all thing's considered! As long as I eat when I'm hungry and when I take my prenatal I eat a meal right after, I'm good to go!!

It's freezing here. So far I haven't gotten the sweats yet! Yay!

hurling/puking

*WARNING* This post may share more than most people want to know about me! Read at your own risk!


So last night I fall asleep on the sofa watching a movie. Chuck said it was a surprisingly good movie. Okay, then, as soon as I hit the sofa, I was out. I got up because I forgot to take my prenatal, took it with some toast. I think I've mentioned on here my issues taking the prenatal without eating a meal right after? So I go to bed, and at 1:20 I wake up with this awful diarhea pains (too much info, but oh well). I wake up going "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit" (because I'm funny even in the middle of the night) as I'm making my way to the bathroom. Well after about 20 mintues of that I feel like I'm going to hurl. Oh man. All I'm thinking of are my friends who told me they were fine until their 8th week. Hello 8th week. Of course I had to go whine to Chuck that I felt like puking. Which being the wonderful hubby he is hung out with me on the bathroom floor. (He was sleeping by the way, he was putzing around on his computer...maybe writing some music, I'm not sure). He was awesome. At one point I was back in bed and he asked if he go do anything, I had him clean the toilet! I know. I know. But if I open my eyes and see anything other than puke, I'm puking again. I sat on the bathroom floor with a blanket for the longest time wondering if I should just make myself puke or what? I never did. I kinda brushed my teeth and was able to fall into bed and didn't wake up until morning. Phew. I hope to god that isn't 'morning sickness'. I am wondering if it isn't something I ate yesterday. I'm screwed if morning sickness comes with the shits that are so painful. Ugh.

So far today I've munched on some corn chex. That was at 10 something. I called Lori to go out to lunch but it was earlier than she figured, and she had just eaten some cereal. So I took a good two hour plus nap and called her, I'm starving now. I have no taste for anything though, which sucks. All I know is I'm hungry and I'm going to take it easy on this tummy of mine!

New Due Date

We had another appointment today. The heartbeat was up to 146. We also got another due date! June 7th! I'm confused if there is one you should believe more than the other? I dunno. I think maybe it's a shot in the dark, this being the first kid and all.

We had a different Doctor again. This woman was nice. Papa De La Cruz was her name. I think it's funny. She was way cool, though. Especially after waiting for 1 1/2 hours to have the ultra sound, THEN waiting another 20 minutes or so to see the Doctor. Annoying. All they would have needed to tell me and my hormones is that they had a couple of emergency ultra sounds and I would have calmed down. We were supposed to pick up the kids at noon and obviously were about an hour or so late. Oops. She was cool though. Thankfully.

Time to get the kids fed and back to their Moms!

Confusion

Okay so, this thing is kickin' my ass. That 'little' cold I got at the beginning of the week? Yeah, now I can't smell or taste anything. I'm totally confused on what I can and cannot take to help ease this cold. I've started my list of questions for the Doctor on Friday. Hopefully a good Doctor, not Doctor Jackass. I'm nervous about that appointment too. I have a feeling I'll be nervous for them all or at least until the first trimester is done.

So Chuck came to bed around 1 am this morning. He plugged his cell phone in, and it doesn't just beep, he does this 5 second little ditty. Yup. It was long enough to wake my butt up and keep it up. I think I got more sleep than I realized, but damn has my ass been draggin' today. Thank god he was sleeping because I was cursing him in my mind!

I'm going to go finish a show on my DVR, maybe, or I may just go lay in bed and catch up on shows from On Demand!

Ugh

Tired, I'm so very very tired.

And what's with the being hungry every three hours? Is it getting me ready for when it finally arrives? Jeesh. Seriously. I'm not a snacker during the day at all, but every 3 or so hours, I'm freakin' hungry! Good grief! It's not like I don't have enough stored up here for the thing to survive on! LOL. I've also figured out to eat something when I first get hungry otherwise I end up with that icky feeling.

I woke up with a cold this morning too. They say you can take Claritin. I'm scared to take the 24 hour one, since I maybe got two hours of sleep last night. I don't need anything else keeping me tossing and turning. I know most of it was this cold. Helpful suggestions? Please?!

Looking Good

Everything is looking good! We went to another appointment this morning and had another ultra sound. We saw the yolk sac and this little fluttering which (thank god) was the heart beat! Yay! The Doctor (a different one than Dr. Jackass) said that the heart beat was at 115. They usually like to see it at around 120, so we are going back on Friday at 10:30 for yet another ultra sound! She said it's nothing to be concerned over because those 5 extra beats could have been because the ultra sound tech didn't hold it there long enough.

All I can say is...phew! These last two weeks have been brutal, actually last week. Since seeing Dr. Jackass. It was way cool seeing that little flutter though, way cool. We also go our due date! June 14th! I looked at the Doc and said, "I guess that means we really are having a baby!" She started laughing and said, "Yeah, there's no turning back now." She also said how it's still the first trimeseter and you never know. Which everyone knows, but I'm totally psyched now. I even broke open the "What to Expect When You Are Expecting Book"! I've been a little superstitious until now. Doctor Jackass made me that way!

All else is good excpet for all the crying. Good grief, the crying!

I had my first experience yesterday with not feeling so good. I was eating some good ol' Kraft Macaroni & Cheese and lunch. I got hafl way through my bowl and all of a sudden couldn't eat any more. I kept saying to myself, "this isn't good, I can't eat this." I put it on the table. I actually had a hard time taking it to the kitchen with the smell. Right now, any kind of noodle thing makes me feel icky! I can handle that though! Hopefully it won't get much worse!

After the First Appointment

The first appointment was Saturday. It was awful. The Doctor was a complete and total asshole. I basically left thinking that I am going to miscarry. Nice, huh? I know they have to cover their asses and all that jazz, but come the eff on? For real? He was one of those Doctor's that didn't take the time to actually ask me how it was going or anything of the like. My whole point for being there so damn early was the vaginal infection. I ended up having to get blood drawn and I'm supposed to do that last night, Wed night and Fri night. Wait, let me back up. The ultra sound. The lady doing it said, "Here is your gestational sac." I said, "Is there anything in it?" She said I don't answer questions, you need to talk to the Doctor. Since this is my first pregnancy and all, I'm freaking out. We had the ultra before seeing the Doc so this is going really well at this point. I basically covered ther Doctor, he's an asshole. Very impatient. It was obvious that we were the lst ones of the day. So then I go to have my labs done. I HATE needles. Fucking hate them. It goes back to when I was a kid and the lab person stuck a needle in my arm and dug it around for five minutes trying to catch the freakin' vein. I had a bruise up my arm for a week. I'm telling the lady about my past experiences with needles and I asked her if she can't find the vein to please take out the needle and try somewhere else. The snotface, looked at me and said, "You better get used to it." FUCKING unbelieveable. By the time Chuck and I left, I was in tears, sobbing. THe Doctor seriously made me think I was not going to carry this kid.



Fast forward to last night. We go to the 7 pm appointment. The lady at the desk hands me a cup to pee in. "No one told me I'd have to pee in a cup again. I peed before we left." She apologized, I said don't worry about it. Then she tells me I hav a co-pay. The little chicky-poo from Saturday was sitting behind her. I said according to her, we don't have any more co-pay's. They chit-chat, the chicky poo gets kinda snotty with her. I go on to tell her (in a very annoyed and I'm almost in tears I'm so effing pissed) that after the last visit, which was our first, that I am ready to change practice's. Turns out this lady is the clinical manager or something. She pulls me into a room and I tell her everything. She was way cool, Even if she was full of shit and just trying to calm me down, so did it. I tell her about the doctor. It also comes about that if I do have a vaginal infection then the Doc can't treat it until the 2nd trimester. If the jackass had said that Saturday when I was bringing it up I would have shut up about the whole thing. I also told her about the lab lady. She gave me her card and said to call her to make appointments and everything. I told her how leaving the office on Saturday I felt like that there was no way I going to carry this thing at all, that I figured I'd have a miscarriage in the next week or so. She got all panicked. Okay, that's all better. On to the appointment with the Doctor.

Doctor Jackass finally came in the room. Turns out I have 3 (count them 3) infections going on down there. Two I can't pronounce and the other is a UTI. Anyone who knows me knows my smart ass grin people get when I know I'm right. Well, Doctor Jackass got it times ten. Then he goes on to tell me that my numbers are in the 3200 range. Which means to say that he over freaking reacted, in being so damned negative. (It comes down to the fact that we have no idea when we concieved. When we gave him our best guess, he got all pessimistic (even after we kept saying, we really have no idea) So, now I don't have to have blood drawn every other day, I go back in Saturday the 13th for another ultra sound to see if the heart beat is going on. Oh yeah, on the 13th I'll be 6 weeks and 1 day knocked up. I guess you should see the heart beat at 6 weeks. After that point, if we see the heart beat, then I'll pass out this blog address to bore everyone to tears with my updates on being knocked up!!

First Appointment

Okay. So I finally called and made my first appointment. We actually got in for tomorrow. The reason I am getting in so early is because I think I have a lovely vaginal infection. I bought one of those home test thingies and according to that, it says I do. Of course since the appointment is tomorrow I'm sorta freakin' about the whole thing. For real? I have no desire to get nekkid for this Doctor. I think mostly because I don't know if it's male or female. I'd prefer female to begin with, then work in the male doc. My previous experience with male Doc's are that they aren't so gentle and don't understand what the hell it's like. It isn't going to be the one I want for my ob/gyn, but I'll get over it. The receptionist freaked me out by saying that if I do have a vag infection that is could harm the baby. Duh. Of course I want in earlier. Still nervous. I'm having an ultra sound too, which is odd from what I've heard. I dunno. We will see tomorrow.

Tomorrow is going to make it real too. Holy crap. We're pregnant.

I'll update tomorrow. Wish us all luck!
