Dana and Richard Israel

Hey everyone! My name is Dana and I'm from south jersey but because of the navy moved out here to everette washington. I recently married the man i have been with for the past year and a half september 8th. I found out I was pregnant the 30th of September.

my morning sicknesss has gotten pretty bad. and unexpected. since i dont get days off of work i live with being sick. i have a hard time telling the difference between being sick and being hungry. but either way i end up throwing up. i get the most awful stomache pains. i guess its all normal though. Any advice on what is good to eat or keep my stomache calm would be great.

okay so i went to the military medical clinic on monday this week and got some paper work filled out. she changed my due date from the 28th of may to june 1st. which isnt bad. i set up my first doctors appointment today, its for halloween. of all days but im not going to be seeing the doctor, im going to meet with his nurse first and wont meet with him until a month later. kinda crappy.

i dont know how i feel about having a male doctor, does anyone have anything they would like to say about that? im kinda torn. but a doctor is a doctor right?

my husband and i have been fighting a lot lately. maybe im just moody but he should know ( ecspecially when i tell him) when to leave me alone. im just a big old mess now adays i suppose. kinda depressed. i feel really alone. anyway, hope all you mommies are doing well. my heart is with you.

so i had my first doctors appointment, they found keytones or whatnot in my urine. which means my body is getting dehydrated and breaking down my muscle mass.

i have my first ultrasound tomorrow and need to get some blood work done.

my nausea medication isnt working, but hopefully the morning sickness will pass and i wont need it much longer.

wow where to start, other than, last week we found out we are having a little girl. im still pretty sick, and have only put on 5 lbs but i guess its better then losing it still. doctor wants to try me on the IV pump for my medication that will go in the side of my abdomen i guess. . . who knows, still waiting on that phone call.

i have only seen my doctor twice, in decemeber i saw who ever was on for the holiday and unfortunately my dr decided to take a vacation and didnt see him this month either. my next appointment is in feb. and im really hoping i see him.

anyway, hope all is well with everyone

well i was in the hospital but im not anymore. thank goodness. being a first time mother i dont know what contractions are supposed to feel like so when i started having really bad back and abdomen pain i went to the hospital. turns out i only have kindey stones again. My doctor put me on bed rest. which really is no fun, but for the best considering my HG hasnt gotten any better. I still throw up every day. but only 13 more weeks right?

26 weeks.
