No news is Good news

I don't really have any new news to post or anything particularly interesting to post so I'll just ramble a bit.  Dr. Webb always tells me that "no news is good news". I like that. Anywho,  I haven't been sick since my last post THANK GOODNESS.  Well nothing other than the occasional nausea, headache and growing pains (yes, growing pains).  We haven't been doing anything too exciting either.  Last week I went to a friend's, Ashley Lamb Bowles, baby shower.  She is having a baby boy in December! Corbyn Bowles! Can't wait to meet the little man.  Sadie and him will for sure be friends.  I can't wait for them to all play together.  There is a whole group of us, 6 to be exact, that all get together sometimes that are pregnant right now! Ashley (boy, Corbyn) and Kelly (girl, Lakelyn) in December, Brittany (boy, Hunter) in January, Chip and Vanessa (girl, cousin, Eliza), me (girl, Sadie) in March and Courtney (don't know yet!) in April.  Isn't that insane.  All of our husbands are close friends and have "guys night" to watch Sons of Anarchy on Tuesdays.  So it's kind of funny to all of us that it has ended up this way.  It wasn't planned either.  Lots of exciting baby times on the way! Sadie already has so many friends that she doesn't even know yet! Its so comforting knowing that she will grow up with some of my best friends children, Anne Cambria, Danielle's little angel and Molly, Mary Frances' little pumpkin.
Did I mention we are officially over HALF WAY THERE!? Scary.
Oh yeah, at my last appointment he told me that if we hadn't had a baby by March 9th, that's when we'll have her! My official due date it March 11th and he said he was on call that weekend any way, so that is the date.  He said he just has to keep me pregnant for that long, so pray for us that she stays in there that long!
Symptoms as of now:
Food Cravings: none
Food aversions: steak, shrimp (the thought of eating either of those makes me gag)
Weight: none of yo bizness.  It is on track though, not too much, not too little.
Nausea: definitely better but not all gone by any means.  If I get hungry, it is O-V.
Movements: The "flutters" have turned more into "thumps" lately.  I definitely feel them more often now but not a whole, whole lot yet.  I enjoy them :)
Memory: Pregnancy brain is NOT a myth.  It is a real thing.  I have lots of moments where I feel "special".
I just ordered a pizza and cheese sticks and they should be here any moment, so I'm going to sit and wait for them now.  Happy Halloween!!

Stomach Virus

I. HATE. YOU. 


I got the stomach virus Monday afternoon.  I hadn't felt too good all day at work then around 2, it really hit me.  I was writing a report and starting getting extremely queasy.  I stopped and walked to the bathroom, nothing happened so I figured it was the normal pregnancy nausea. Then, it hit me, while I was sitting at my desk.  (I don't need to give any details here) I headed straight home only for the same thing to happen over and over again for about every 30 minutes until 10:15 Monday night.  It was HORRID.  I felt like my body was going into seizures every time I was getting sick.  I called the on call doctor around 8 and he called me in some Phenergan and told me if it didn't work to come up to the hospital for fluids.  Poor Sadie.  I bet she was wondering WTH was going on! Tuesday was recovery day.  I stayed in the bed allllllllllll day long.  Literally.  Today though is a new day! Feel so so so much better! I think I will survive again.

Latest Update

I went to the doctor yesterday for my monthly check up.  We are now at 18 weeks.  I swear this time is flying by! It is unreal.  Everything was great! Couldn't have asked for a better check up.  Her heart, brain, bones, kidneys, bladder everything looked perfect and she is measuring to the day of my due date (March 11th).  Dr. Webb said she is "not too big, not too small, just right" :) Love him.  I also found out that he is on call the weekend of my due date and if I don't go before March 9th, he will take me then! Yippeee! Nothing much else went on, just a "normal ole pregnancy" (Dr.W said) and I am 100% happy with that.
