Doctor Appointment

Baby update.....

We went to a doctor visit today for the 2nd trimester of blood work. We were able to hear the heart beat. It was exciting! I made it through the blood being drawn without throwing up or passing out. In 4 weeks we will have another sonogram. All the 1st trimester blood work came back good. I am not a carrier of cystic fibrosis. Everything is going great so far.

Never a Dull Moment...

All had been going well.... the start of the school year was great. The new classes I am teaching I love, Joey doing well at work and school, and a 3 day weekend..what could go wrong?!?!? Well, of course I got the dreaded flu. I did not start to feel bad until Sunday. We were at Olive Garden and I had to run out of the restaurant to get sick. (Embarrassing) Luckily, the on call Dr. advised me to wait until the ER slowed down to go in. We went Monday morning and were not there very long at all. Of course, Joey was mortified that we were in the ER over the flu. He said in order for him to come to the ER he would have to be dragging his leg behind him. I was mad because the copay was $100, but better safe than sorry. After the ER I went to my parents since I was already with them the night before, they were nice enough to let me come over and watch cable and hang out. I am going back to school Thursday. I only had a fever on Sunday so I have been fever free for 3 days. The worst part of the whole thing has been my throat, which was killing me. Hopefully, nothing else invades my body and the baby. I have another Dr. appointment on the 17th for the 2nd trimester blood0work. (Everything came out fine and normal with the first trimester blood work)

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers through this pregnancy. I will keep you updated!
