Please Check my Updates!

(I made these blinkies, if you want one done, let me know!)

My Husband and I have been married since September 23rd, 2005. We met at Bible School in Oklahoma. We had dated for 22 months by the time we got married,...yeah I know, that's a long time, but there's a reason why ,which is a long story. We live in Florida now doing ministry with my parents church. We are working on having children, we can't wait! We started TTC Sept. 15th, 2006...... and got pregnant in February 2008!!

We have a tuxedo kitty named Oliver and a Beagle named Lucy.

I'm really grateful that I found this site, the women here have been so wonderful and helpful!

Howdy everyone, I know it's been atleast a couple of weeks since I've been on here... I have a big update, but don't Freak out, ok?

Tuesday I went into the ER for the second time in just over a week. The Doctor I had there rocked and I'm so glad cause he saved my life and my baby's life....

I had Diarreah uncontrollable for over a month and then I was throwing up. Over Easter Weekend I couldn't keep anything down, I was throwing up every little bit and by Tuesday was having heart palpatations. My Potassium was at 2.3 when 3.6 is considered LOW!!

The ER Doctor decided NOT to just release me because I'd just wind up back there in a couple of days so he admitted me. (the P.O. Halifax) I was there from Tuesday until this afternoon (Friday). I was on a constant I.V. with Potassium and taking potassium pills morning and night. Every morning at 5:30 a nurse would come in and take blood to check my Potassium levels... Needless to say, they were starting to run out of veins in my arms and I don't have as much Arm hair either from all the tape used! lol

Finally the OB got me a G.I. doctor to come talk to me (turns out the same guy who did my last colonoscopy when I was 18!)... so this morning I had to be "cleaned out" :::Shudders::::: and then wheeled into pre-op for the "sygmoidoscopy" which turned into a "colonoscopy" ... I must say that this experience was nothing compared to when I was a kid!! The GI said the "UC" is "Severe Severe Severe" and put me on Asecol and Prednesone... he said once the dirreah is under control I can back off the steroids to a lower dose!

I am now at home and am doing ok, I have a krud load of meds and stuff to take. I have to take Steroids and anti-inflammatories to get my bowel in control.... or else I'd die from lack of potassium due to diarreah.

Yes, Michael and I have talked and thought it over and Yes, I am pregnant and having to take steroids, but Baby and I will be just fine! We have the Creator of the Universe dwelling within us and we have the power of prayer, so please DON"T comment this with an "OMG, Steroids and pregnancy" Article, ok?

I love you all!!! ((((((HUGS))))))))

April 29, 2008 (Tues)

Well, I was in the ER again Yesterday,.... Yesterday SUCKED. Long story and don't feel like wasting space about it.... But I was Dehydrated and low potassium again, was in the ER from noon till 7:30!!!

TODAY hubby and I are going for my SONOGRAM!!! Very first one, we are excited and I'm a lil' nervous about going, I don't know why. lol I am now 3 Months!!

Oh, if you have slight morning sickness, I recommend "B- Natal" lolipops and lausenges.... they are b-6 NON-prescription and they work. (Not for the full 8 hours you have to wait in between them). My OB sent me home with some to try out.

Anyway, that's my update for now.

Howdy all! How was your weekend? Mine was pretty good, yesterday hubby surprised me by getting me an outfit, preggie pop drops, and a book from the "Motherhood" store!

I had my sonogram last Tuesday, it went well! Hubby was so proud, he kept saying as we walked out "I'm gonna be a daddy! I'm gonna be a daddy!" ...while wearing his black "World's Greatest Dad" t-shirt.

Sorry I didn't get the sono pic up on here, I got confused on how to get it into my picture area so I had to just upload it to photobucket. I get so lost on this site now since they revamped it!!

The second best part of the OB appt. was across the hall is a favorite lil' cafe of mine,... OMG, the BEST Rasberry Turkey Sandwiches... MMMM!! It's Sourdough bread, Turkey, a thick slice of tomato, a thick slice of cucumber, sprouts, honey mustard and rasberry preserves. Sounds weird, but I got hubby to try it after he scoffed and he LOVED it! (I plan on making some up for my baby shower!!!!)

I finally got some batteries for my camera so that means (Hopefully) we'll have some Belly Pics up in the next week!!!

Ok, Love to all, keep my friend in Prayer.... she just miscarried for the 3rd time yesterday. So far she's dealing with it ok, kind of,.... iced over.... but... keep her in prayer.

Hi. Just a short update! I'm doing pretty good :) I felt the baby flutter for the first time this past Sunday while I was laying down for a nap! I also found out this week that there's a local college that gives FREE sonograms so that means I don't have to wait until 22 weeks to find out the sex of my baby! YAY! So excited, I'm going to look into it and do it. I will let You know the results as soon as I find out! :D Hooway! ok,..... hungry now, toodles.
