May 12, 2008

I went in for my 12 week appointment today. Apparently my doctor's office had called me to cancel my appointment early in the morning but I never got the message. When I showed up for the appointment, they told me that it was cancelled. Apparently the Nurse Practitioner had called in sick. Of course I was furious and holding back the tears. They tried to tell me that they would reschedule me for two weeks down the road. I wasn't having it. After dealing with my wrath for about 15 minutes, they managed to find me an appointment for later on in the day with another Nurse Practitioner. I turned out to be a good thing because I really liked the Nurse Practitioner and I decided to change over to her (at Kaiser you have a doctor and a nurse practitioner and your appointments rotate between them). We got to hear the baby's heartbeat which was about 158 BPS. All of my labwork came back good so now I am just looking forward to my Nuchal Translucancy ultrasound which will be on Monday.

I had a really weird dream last night that I was at the hospital after having my baby. I was waiting around for them to clear a room for me. When the nurse finally cleared a room for me, I realized that I hadn't seen the baby yet. I asked the nurse if I could see the baby so she brought her over and she was so ugly!!!! The baby had a shrunken adult head and even had a long ponytail. I kept arguing with the nurse that it must be a mistake but she kept insisting that it wasn't. Finally I just accepted it. Weird!!!!

I went to visit my grandfather in the hospital today. He has been an alcoholic for many years but my mom and her sisters are forcing him to detox because he is having trouble caring for himself due to a condition that is going on in his brain. As I get older, I really realize how much I don't want to get old as I have watched my grandparents struggle at the end of their lives while trying to maintain some level of dignity. The cycle of life is an amazing thing.

I'm happy to be starting week 10 tomorrow. These nauseating feelings really suck although they do seem to be lessening a bit (knock on wood). We took the girls to Fairytale Town this morning which was really fun. Brianna convinced me to go down the slide with her on my lap. I didn't realize that we would be travelling at mock speed so when we hit the bottom, I couldn't stop. I tossed my daughter to the side on the padded ground as I continued to fall on the asphalt. I jarred my back and my arm a little bit and of course I mooned everybody when my dress flew up. The best part is that of course my hubby got it all on video.

I'm having a really rough night tonight. I've been feeling really nauseated all evening and then Brianna hit Kaly in the face with a toy car and gave her a black eye. Fifteen minutes later she peed in her big girl underpants and all over the bathroom floor. I completely lost it and started screaming at her and then of course I started crying because I felt so bad. Steve is working his second double shift of the week and I am feeling like I am on overload. I am a complete ball of nerves today. I am going to tell Steve tonight that I need to start taking a pre-natal yoga class on the weekend to get away from the house and the kids. I feel like a never have a break. Even when Steve is here, I am here too which means that I never have that chance to get away and re-group. I really need to start doing something for my mental and physical health or I'm not going to be able to handle another child!!!

I went in for my first official doctor's appointment...I saw the baby on the ultrasound. Everything looks good. My doctor bumped my due date up 4 days which I was really happy about. I knew that I ovulated really early in my cycle (day 10) which is how I ended up getting pregnant in the first place. My new due date coincides exactly with the day that I ovulated. Counting the days until the first trimester is over because I am so tired of feeling nauseated and exhausted all day!!!!

About my dog Jasmine, she started to feel better the day after she started the antibiotics which baffled the doctor since her white blood cell count was not elevated. She seems to be back to her old self again which is a relief.

April 17, 2008

Today has been a rough day. It is so hard to function and take care of two kids when I am feeling so nauseated all day. My husband is working a double shift which means that he left at 5 am and won't be home until 11pm. I was noticing that my dog hasn't been herself for the past week or so...She has been really lethargic and gagging up some bile now and then. This morning I dragged her in the the vet's office with my 3 year old and 1 year old. They did a Urinalysis and a blood panel but everything came back normal despite her high fever. The doctor gave her some antibiotics but after seeing that her white blood cells are not elevated, she's not sure that the antibiotics will help. She is worried that Jasmine might have cancer. I am suppossed to take her temperature every day for the next few days and see if her fever goes down. If nothing changes, I will take her in next week for chest x-rays to check for cancer. One more stressor that I really don't need right now. My Bullmastiff died from cancer when I was pregnant with my first daughter...I really don't want to go through that again. I am already so anxious and over-emotional as it is.

Went in for a doctor's appointment today for a yeast infection that won't go away. They want me to go in for early testing for Gestational Diabetes since I had it with my first pregnancy. I will do that this Friday...hopefully it will all workout alright. On the upside, the Doctor did an ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy...the baby was in there and we saw the heartbeat. When I go in next Tuesday, they will do another ultrasound and give me an official due date.

March 28, 2008

I was very surprised last week to find out that I am pregnant again...I guess that I need to update my page since Kalyssa is now almost 1 year old and Brianna just turned 3. This pics are definitely out of date.

I can't believe that I am headed down this road again. I never particularly loved being pregnant but I guess here we go again!

These pictures were taken shortly after Kalyssa was born...time to update again.

Well, my page wouldn't be complete without a picture of my other baby...

PRETTIEST MOM
Once you have been hit, you have to hit 5 pretty Moms.
If you get hit again, You will know you are REALLY pretty!
So hit 15 pretty moms on your friends list to let them know they are
pretty!
Before I was a Mom
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on.
Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her
down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop
the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom -
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important
and happy.
Before I was a Mom -
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to
make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the
wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.
Send this to someone who you think is a special Mom.''
