Update

So, here is my update. Right now I am sitting here with tears, an IV hooked up to me and also a medicine pump which goes through my thigh. The nurses said that I will have to have the IV fluids running into me constantly probably until Monday. It's so hard when I have things to do. I have to unhook myself every time I need to take Trey to school and pick him up. I am hoping things will get better soon. Thanks to my husband who has been extremely supportive and Trey who has also been helping me. I don't know what I would do without them. I definately wouldn't be getting this kind of care of it wasn't for Jason. Keep your fingers crossed for me.......

Pregnancy update....

So I was hoping that this pregnancy would be easier than the last. Wishful thinking, I guess. Monday afternoon I was sent to the hospital per my doctors orders to get an IV treatment for dehydration. I had to go to a hospital clear across town because that is where my doctor does his deliveries. I spent seven hours in the ER before I got to see the doctors. I sent Jason and Trey home once three hours had passed because Trey needed to get his homework done. Trey was quite concerned and didn't want to leave me there. I felt so bad. At around 11:00 p.m I finally got to see the the doctor. They immediately gave me an IV. I had three bags of solution pumped into my veins before I could go home. I was so dehydrated that after two bags I didn't even need to use the restroom. They made me drink some orange juice and made sure it didn't come back up before I could go home. I called Jason around 3:00 a.m. and told him that I was about to be released. Him and Trey came and got me and I finally made it home around 4:00 a.m. I talked to my doctor and they are thinking about putting me on a pump that will pump medicine into me 24/7. It scares me a lot. I will do anything I need to do to keep myself and this baby healthy but I am definately nervous about it. The home health called me today and talked to me about the pump. They will show me or Jason how to stick the small needle into my upper thigh and I will have to carry the pump around which is only the size of a small remote. They are talking to my insurance today and will get back to me within 24-48 hours. I will keep you updated on my condition. Pray for me!

It's Official......

Jason and I are having a baby! We are so excited! I wanted to wait to tell everyone but I just couldn't hold it in any longer. I know several of you were wondering if it was going to happen. Today I had my first Doctors appointment. I have been soooooo sick and that is why I haven't been keeping up to good on my blog. I am eight weeks along and the due date for baby yee is April 20th, 2009. It's definately bittersweet. I am so elated that I am pregnant, but have been so sick. I have been on Reglan, Promethazine, Compazine supp., and now my doc just put me on Zofran. I took my first Zofran today and I hope I don't jinx myself but I believe it is working better than everything else I have taken. I actually got an apple in today and some raspberry snapple. Believe me that is a lot if you would have been around me the last week. I couldn't keep anything down. I have only lost five pounds and so I am hoping with this new med that I am taking I will be able to start "living" again. It's so hard when you have other responsibilities like school children and soccer and not to mention my dogs. Ugh! I love them though. Well, just thought that I would let everyone know about our GREAT NEWS.......
