I finally decided to write my first blog. And so as most of you already know I am pregnant. I am almost 10 weeks and it is no fun. Unfortunately I seem to have every sympton pregnant women can get, along with some bonuses. I know, lucky me!
I found out I was pregnant when I had to go to the emergency room for my galbladder. I had an attack on saturday, Septmeber 27th, and it was a really bad one. The next day I was still hurting really bad so Raul took me to the ER! We went to St. Al's in Eagle (the nicest people ever, seriously!). They asked me what was going on and so I told them about my galbladder and that I thought I might be pregnant. They did some tests and turns out that I was pregnant. They were contimplating on doing emergency surgery on my glabladder because they thought it might be eating my pancreas and that would deffinatly be a bad thing. So they did an ultasound on my glabladder, and lucky for me it wasn't. They also told me that no surgeon would want to touch me because I was so early in my pregnancy and the risk of the baby dying was really high. So I just had to becareful about what I was eating and call my OB immedialty. That was the best hospital E.R. I have ever been in, they were so nice and really seemed to care about me. And it didn't seem to take long at all!
I thought that this was going to be an easy pregnancy because I wasn't really that sick at first, but man I was wrong. I called my OB and talked to her and she told me a name of a surgeon to call and that they wouldn't do it until after 12 weeks. Well I started throwing up and couldn't seem to stop so after a few days I returned to the E.R. to get rehydrated and get some naseous medicine, and I still wasn't feeling to well. So they upped the dose as much as they could. After they gave me the medicine they gave me some crackers and juice to make sure I could keep it down. It seemed to be working out well, but when I was getting ready to leave all of the food decided to leave me. It was horrible. So I went home and went to sleep because I wasn't really feeling like I could eat anything with out being sick. I called my doctor the next day and she prescribed some promethazine for me. Although that mostly helps me stop throwing up, I still feel sick and some days even throw up. But I am glad to not being throwing up all day long. Only 30 more weeks of this.
Even though I am sick and very irratable right now, I am very excited for what's to come. Raul is too and a little bit scared. At this point I am concidering never having a child again, I hate being pregnant and so sick. I also hate that I am breaking out so bad and that the smell of my face wash makes me have to run to the toilet and I hate the color of my hair, it looks yellow and nasty! I think I will just go back to my natural color. I hate having to take medicine every four hours but it beats being at the toilet every 5 minutes throwing up. But it was really amazing hearing the heartbeat of our little one on wednesday, it makes it all seem real. And seeing the look on Raul's face when he heard it! I just hope May comes fast!
OH! I also read the sweetest blogs, they make me want to be a better person. If you want to read them they are on here under friends & family: Claire & Jane, Christian & Stephanie their story, Sweetest Family. I don't understand how easy I have it until I see what other people are facing, and how amazing they are even with their trials!
