Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas!

Kiran says to keep Jesus on top of the stable (which is better than the trashcan) this season.

Did you know....

that my SIL is due 18 days before me???

COUSINS!

I need help

I have a favor to ask you guys. I'm a bridesmaid in my friend Jilly's wedding on Dec 31. She just asked us to wear black dresses. So I had the black dress that I wore in my sister's wedding from last year when I was 18 weeks pregnant with Kiran and I planned to wear that. But I guess that its true that you show faster (much faster) with the second. I'm only 11.5 weeks and its very tight. I don't think I'm going to be able to fit in it at all in another week and a half. So.... I'm asking you all if you have a black maternity dress I can wear for one night??? I have a fancy jacket I can wear with it so it can be strappy or sleeveless or whatever. Thanks!!!!!

Hi

I bet y'all are wondering where I've been. Eh, you probably haven't. Anyhow...

I'm at the beach.

And at the beach, you can be lazy and not feel one ounce of guilt.

So I'm at the beach, being lazy, and not feeling guilty. :)

Today

Today we are thankful for Zofran.

Many thanks to all of you for your prayers and well wishes and "Hope you feel better soon." I am happy to report that I am feeling much better...thanks to a magic pill. Remember two weeks ago when I threw up so much? We thought it was a stomach virus? Yeah it wasn't. I went back to "normal" morning sickness for a few days then last week I started waking up every day and throwing up every half hour until either the medicine worked or I went to sleep that night. So my doctor and I decided I'd just take it every day before I got out of bed. Oh I haven't thrown up all week and I've really felt pretty good (minus the regular pregnancy stuff- tiredness, weird food aversions and cravings, etc).

So today we are thankful that there is such a medicine like this that is safe for pregnancy.

Oh and when I went to get my prescription filled at Target, the prescription had on it the directions of
"Take 1 pill 30 minutes before chemo treatment, then another 8 hours later." When I picked it up, the poor pharmacists were like
"Have you taken this medicine before?"
I said "yeah"
they said "Well you know then to take it 30 minutes before your chemo treatment..."
At this point I realized what was going on and I interrupted them "No wait No I don't have cancer I just can't stop throwing up because I'm pregnant."
I felt so bad :(

Due Date

First it was July 3. Then it moved to July 15. Today Dr Hardin and I made an executive decision to make my due date July 7. Y'all pray really hard that this baby comes one day early....on July 6. See both of my nephews are born on that day. My sister-in-law had a kid then; so did my sister. I want one!

Dr Appt

Today we went to Maternal-Fetal Medicine to determine if I needed to take shots of lovenox throughout the pregnancy to protect me from blood clots. We were pleasantly surprised when we were ushered in for an ultrasound! We saw our baby, measuring perfectly at 10 weeks. The little arm was even waving at us! The heart rate was 167 and everything looked good.

We then met with the dr and went over our options. We were both really impressed with him. He gave us information- benefits and risks of both treatment and no treatment and then basically left the decision up to us. With his guidance, we've decided to not do any shots unless circumstances change like I need to go on bedrest or something like that.

So basically today's appt was great! Bonus ultrasound and no shots! Woohoo! Tomorrow I get to see my regular OB.
