The first trimester was really a rough one & thank
goodness things have gotten much better rolling into my second. Some of you may
not know but around my 4th or 5th week I was told I had
anemia and I was fighting off a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) and there would
be some safe medication waiting for me at the pharmacy on base. I also got
prescribed Zofran to help with my nausea, but I did not want to become dependent
on it so I took it sparingly. (Take in mind this was difficult with all the
sickness I had going on) I started
taking the medication along with my Pre-natals. The medication for my UTI
caused me to get slightly constipated and the doctors gave me safe medication
to help me “go” easier since I was off the UTI medication already. When I was 7
weeks along I woke up one morning to some slight blood in my underwear.
Worried, Colton & I rushed to the Emergency Room to make sure the baby was
alright. After several ultrasounds the doctors FINALLY found the baby and it’s
little heartbeat. This was the first time we ever got to see our baby. The
doctors had to give me a shot of RhoGAM because of my blood type being
negative. If I had not gotten shot it could have been potentially harmful to
the baby & myself. Meanwhile, my nausea was so bad I couldn’t even hold
down my Pre-Natal pills anymore and had to make the switch to some yummy
Pre-Natal gummies that my good friend Kathleen introduced me to! Going into my
second trimester my morning (ALL DAY, ANY TIME) sickness has let up! It is
still there but much better than it was! We are not exactly sure when we will
be finding out the sex of the baby. It could be anywhere from 2-6 weeks until
we find out. I also have an ultrasound picture from 14 weeks along but it is
REALLY blurry because our little one wouldn’t sit still for the doctor to get a
good picture so I apologize! It was so good to see our little baby moving
around so much :) I can already tell he or she will be a handful!! Colton is
doing at work and is becoming more excited about the baby every day! His faces
lights up anytime he sees the baby on the ultrasound screen! (It’s so cute!)
There hasn’t been much going on with our lives since we have
not gotten out of the house because I have felt so sick but we should me more
now that I am feeling better! I started reading a lot and I just finished the
Hunger Games Trilogy and have a bookshelf more of un-read books to read!
Until next time!
