So I'm totally falling behind! Last Wednesday my company went to the Ranger game and then I came down with Bronchitis and Sinusitis so no blog last week! This week I was just really busy so I didn't get to share anything either! This week's blog post will be a little longer than normal I suppose but a lot happened in the past 2 weeks! Let's dive right in shall we!
Week 9
So this week started out well. Things were going good, I wasn't feeling too blah. Then Tuesday night my throat started hurting. It wasn't the kind of hurt where you feel like maybe there is something in the air either. It was the kind of hurt where I KNEW I was getting sick! I didn't get much sleep that night because I was waking up constantly drinking water trying to make the soreness go away, and then getting up to pee in between! Wednesday rolled around and my throat was still sore, but no other signs of sickness yet. My company took us to the Ranger game that day. It was a 1:05 game and we were sitting right in the sun! Boy was I baking! I was pretty miserable, but since no one knew about my pregnancy at work I couldn't really have a " hey there is a baby inside of me and I'm miserable" melt down. I was SO happy when my boss decided we should go hang out inside the air conditioned bar. Everyone was drinking and I was just sipping on my umpteenth glass of water! One of my coworkers asked me why I wasn't drinking and I just said " Oh I'm just not really into drinking. I have to be in the mood." (Which seriously.. I WAS in the mood! I'm at a baseball game in the middle of the day sweating buckets with a severe sore throat OF COURSE I WANT A DRINK!) Anyways... I got home from the game and I was pretty worn out. I threw on my pajamas and crawled into bed for the day. The next morning I woke up running a fever, could barely swallow water, head was pounding, I could barely talk and I had a pretty bad cough. I knew I HAD to go see my Dr. We found out I had bronchitis and sinusitis and THANK THE LORD NO STREP THROAT, just a severely swollen whelped throat. I got put on meds right away and thankfully my husband has an amazing boss so he sent him home to take care of me. Unfortunately though since I'm pregnant there is only so much I can take, and honestly I'm trying not to just fill myself up with meds right now just so I can feel decent. We've been trying other stuff like diffusing essential oils, drinking hot water with lemon and honey, rubbing Vicks everywhere, stuff like that! During the day Things are pretty bearable but my cough gets so bad at night that it normally sounds like I'm gagging. I'm now in week 10 and I'm still sick but little by little things are slowly getting better.
Week 10
Now we move into week 10! This week has been fun because it was our first appointment and sono! Being sick has not been fun but lucky for me I was off on memorial day and it was a rainy day so I was able to lounge around at home in my bed with my puppies. My appointment was on Tuesday (May 27th at 2:00 pm) Chris got off at 12 and I got off at 12:30. We arrived at the Dr. and of course I was a nervous wreck. This would be the first time seeing my baby and hearing the heartbeat and I was so worried about my little baby. They called us back and the sonogram tech. explained to us how everything would go. She then turned off the lights and it was the moment of truth! All the sudden I saw my little baby! Chris and I were so excited. Then she turned on the heartbeat and the two of us started crying! I was SO relieved to hear that heartbeat and when she told us it was a good strong fast heartbeat I was overjoyed! Next thing we knew the baby flipped over where it's front was facing the camera! It's little hands started moving up and down like it was dancing or waving. OMG did it feel good to not only hear my baby's strong heartbeat but to see it moving around :) PERFECT! She told us everything was measuring at 10 weeks, and that our due date was 12/23/14! Christmas baby!!!! We then met with the DR. who told us everything was good and of course we asked her about a million questions. My next appointment will be June 23rd. :) I wanted to wait until 12 weeks to make things Facebook official, but my husband and I had compromised and decided that once we saw the baby at 10 weeks that we would go ahead and tell everyone. Although I had to tell my boss first! So Wednesday I went into his office and told him the news and he was totally cool with it! I felt so relieved and now I didn't have to wear baggy clothes to work every day! So that night my BFF came over and we decided to take a pic with all my puppies and our sono pic! It turned out adorable ( Even though my sweet little man Sunny was the only one not smiling.. but that's ok! We have gotten so much support and love from our friends and family and I know this baby will be SO loved! So with that I'll end this post with our ever so Facebook official photo!!!
