Dr. Appointment

I went to see the General Practicioner this afternoon. He took a swab of my throat and will let us know if it is the swine flu but he highly doubts it! So that is good. He gave me a percription for Azithromycin. I looked online and it looks like it will be safe for me to take it. He also said to gargle with salt water, and not to expect to be better for 3-4 days! and to make sure I keep up my fluids!

So hopefully I will feel better soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feel like rolling in the mudd??

So Sunday night I was stressed out over my homework because I did not understand it. I was talking to Carl and told him that I felt all tight like I needed to jump out of my body. He said I was stressed. My throat was kinda a little sore but I did not think anything of it! Well Monday morning I HAD the FLU!!!!! Sore throat, achie, runny nose, sneezing.......... So my hypocondriac of a Father is all worried that I have Swine Flu. I told him that I don't have any urges to roll in the mudd hahaha!

I had a fever last night so Carl stuck me in a cold bath......egh........ it was so awful I was shaking so bad. Then puking and shaking not fun!!! haha! Finally around 2am my fever broke and I was hot instead of cold. haha.


I talked to my OBGYN today because I have a check up appointment tomorrow. She said that what I did was just what I needed to do just keep the Tylonal up around the clock. No fever today! Then she called me back like 10 mins. later. And said we need to reschedule you for next week. lol.... everyone is so scared of the swine flu. and she says I need to go to my general practitioner. So I have an apt. for 3:30. I don't think it is nessasary to go becasue they can't do anything, but figured be safer than sorry.

So we shall see what he has to say. I haven't been coughing and that is the tell tell sign of this pig flu. Since I haven't been to Mexico or even out in public much I HIGHLY doubt I have it. Man people are freaking out over it though.........


Let ya all know what the doc says.

Emotional Week 16

So I have had some time this week to think about our impending move. I know that the next year is going to be filled with highs and lows. Things are going to change but I hope that they are going to change for the better. It is so hard to change your life so dramatically but I think this is something that Carl and I need to do. We have spent the past 5 years of our lives together doing the same thing. Working for the same company, fighting over the same things, stressing over the same things and now it’s time for that to change. It’s time for me to grow up and become the women and mother that I want to be. I have always been able to rely on my family for anything that I need. I know I will have family in Florida as well, which is reassuring. I just have spent the last 21 years of my life with these people and it is hard to move away from them. It’s hard to think of my life without them there. However, I think it might be a good thing. I will have to be stronger and more independent than I would ever be here. So that is good. I’m also sad that my Mom and Sister most likely won’t be there for the birth of our child. I wish we could wait until after we have the baby to move but the longer we put this off the harder it will be. I just hope that my family does not go as these unknown people to my baby.

Anyways this week the kid is the size of an Avocado. I think maybe I have been feeling it move but I’m not sure. It hard to tell and I don’t know what I am looking for. My dang hip has been killing me Carl’s doctor is going to adjust it again so that should help. I can tell my belly is getting bigger because it’s already becoming harder to do things. I haven’t been getting those sharp pains as much but still get them now and then. I have been extremely emotional but I think that is partially because of my hormones and partially because of moving. I found a group of mom’s that meet up once a week in Port Charlotte. This will be nice for me to get to meet people with kids and hopefully make some new friends.

So that is about it for this week.

Week 15 & 16 Turmoil

Ok this is a crummy pictures but hey it's a picture. This is from week 14.

Ok sorry I missed last week’s post. Things have just been so stressful here. Carl and I have been talking about what we are going to do. As you all know things here have not been so good financially! Carl has been talking to his Dad and he tells him that he could get work there no problem and that housing is very inexpensive in Florida. So we have been talking it over and have decided that financially moving to Florida is the best option for us right now. It’s really not ideal moving at this time in my life but you got to do what you got to do.

I have done my research and if we move there I “should” be able to qualify for Medicaid which will cover having the baby. I also found out that my current health plan has contracted hospitals there in Florida! Can you say woooooooo hooooooo!!! Haha. I have been so stressed and worried about health insurance. So as long as my Dad can pay for the health insurance than we are ok, I can pay for my health insurance it’s only 220.00 a month. That is a totally do able amount! My health insurance policy is awesome there is a 1500 dollar deductable and once that is met EVERYTHING is covered!!!! So I’m really glad about that news! Good good…..

So I talked to my family today, and it went a lot better than I thought. They are sad which is totally to be expected. I have always been around and now during this life changing time I’m moving away. But they both understand that sometimes you just have to do what you have to do.

Carl and I have decided on a time line for moving with two scenarios which I’m still thinking about. So we will give it till July, see how things are going here if come July things have not turned around then we will Definitely be moving to Florida. If things are going really well and look like they will keep going that way then we may wait till after we have the baby. Unfortunately we have a lease that is up in September. This is a problem because if we break the lease we will have to pay for cleaning the house, cleaning the carpet, and any paint that needs to be done. We also would have to pay for rent until the house is rented out and pay for the rental companies 800.00 fee. However, I think if the shit hit the fan our landlord would work out a payment plan with us. I just don’t want to wreck our credit. So if we move in July we will pay our rent for July then August’s rent will be covered by our deposit. We still have to have the house cleaned and the carpets it’s in our lease but at least that way our credit is ok and I think it would cost less.

So I don’t know I scared and nervous about moving just because it is unknown. I keep running things through my head. What happens if I can’t handle the heat there and start passing out? How will I care for a baby? What happens if my endometriosis comes back and I can’t function? I just don’t want to hurt our baby. I don’t know….. It’s just scary!

Sliding into the second trimester week 14

Well I FINALLY made it to the coveted second trimester! Wooo Hooo!! I can’t believe that I’m 1/3 the way through my pregnancy! I really hope I start to feel better and can start doing more. These weird pains are pretty miserable. They are not there all day just some times. My nausea has been better still sick here and there but not like it was before! I was able to dye my hair this week thank goodness! It looked horrible!! Haha!

The bean is the size of a flip phone this week. They say you can start feeling flutters now but so far nothing. I can’t wait to feel it move. I will get a belly picture this weekend. My belly feels huge to me but when I look in a mirror it’s not that big haha!

Carl and Maddy are good. Were going to do Easter eggs tomorrow and make frog eye salad.

Happy Easter!

Pains in week 13

Alright so the beginning of this week was not so good! Saturday I got these really sharp pains in my abdomen. I had been up cleaning and doing stuff. So I decided that I should lay down. I rested the rest of the evening with the pain coming and going. Sunday the pain was the same if I got up as long as I stayed down the pain went away. Monday I took a shower and the pain was really bad super sharp! So I decided to call my doctor to see if maybe there was something wrong. They said if it was really bad go to the ER or if there is bleeding. I decided it was not really bad and no bleeding so figured I shouldn’t worry too much! I stayed in bed Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday it felt better no pain at all. Today I had some pain this morning, but not too bad.

SO I had my doctor’s appointment this morning. We heard the heart beat which is always cool. She said that the pain was probably round ligament pain or endometriosis scar tissue being pulled. She said as long as no bleeding and the pain is not severe not to worry! I have lost weight since my last appointment but that due to the crazy sickness haha! Which is now better but not gone! We got scheduled for some more blood work. I also have an anatomy scan on the 5th of May! We will hopefully get to find out if it’s a boy or girl! That is so exciting! So all in all things are good with the bean!
