Just and update...
Current mood: satisfied
So..I am almost halfway there. I am just a few days shy of my halfway 20 week mark!!!! Which is both shocking and exciting! I cant beleive I am already almost halfway through being preggo. It hasnt even been too bad, I have been sick constantly but thats really the only thing that has bothered me.
The good news is that we found out what put me in the hospital..I was severely dehydrated (so dehydrated that my spinal fluid was low and was causing me to have a spinal headache) my dehydration was caused by what they now tell me is HG or Hyperemesis gravidarium which is:
Hyperemesis gravidarum (from the Latin for "extreme vomiting of the pregnant woman") is a severe form of morning sickness. According to the Hyperemesis Education and Research Foundation, hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is described as unrelenting, excessive pregnancy-related nausea and/or vomiting that prevents adequate intake of food and fluids. It is considered a rare complication of pregnancy. The exact number of sufferers is difficult to pinpoint because symptoms of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy exist on a continuum, and there is no clear boundary between common morning sickness and hyperemesis. Estimates of the percentage of pregnant women afflicted range from 0.3o 2/P>
Which all of that just means you cant stop getting sick and eventually end up getting IV fluids. And I did. They pumped me full of fluids for 3 days and 2 nights and I actually feel human again lol. They are still having me take Atarax which takes most of the sickness away for me. And I am not allowed to drink plain water it has to mixed with an electrolyte (sp) of some sort meaning either juice or sports drink.
I have been working on Mikayla's nursery some as most of you know. I hope to get most of it done before Eric has to leave for Houston. I am prolly going to have to put the crib together myself which i am a little worried about lol, jk I should do great.
Mikayla moves all the time and has quite the little temper if she gets uncomfortable do to how I am sitting/laying and is fast to let me know it. lol
I guess that is about it, so I will stop rambling...
