Well-- pregnancy has been rough. You got your name Cashew after our first ultra sound on April 17th. Little Cashew is strong and healthy and making mommy very sick! I haven't kept anything down so after a visit to the hospital on April 14th to get a hydration treatment and some Zofran through an IV it came to no surprise when I returned to the emergency room on April 19th and it took me three bags of fluid to finally pee that they were going to admit me into the hospital :( -- Boo! While there-- it was discovered that I had a UTI which thank goodness they were able to treat during my stay! I stayed in the company of nurses and doctors until April 24th when they finally sent me home only to be seen by a in-house nurse who hooked me up to a Zofran pump. With the pump constantly pumping me full of meds-- I was able to get enough into my system to be able to stay at home.
Katie Brady-- my next door neighbor (literally a door away) was a life savor. She would bring me up some fruits (watermelon works well) and some fluids. I haven't wanted to eat much because I still am very sick but fruits and fish seem to keep (but in little tiny helpings!!)
Building A Legacy
Not quite what I expected...
So I haven't hit the up yet!
I've actually gone more down hill, feeling more nauseous and adding puking to the long list of pregnancy symptoms. I miss food! Oh I can't wait until I can eat something besides Popsicles and saltines! I hate complaining about pregnancy, but I'm definitely not enjoying this currently.
1st Doctors Appt--
Today is the day! At 3:30, Jon and I will go in for our first appointment. It sounds as if I won't be getting a ultrasound this time, but I fully intend on putting up a little fuss.

One Week & Counting... am I on the up??
Morning sickness-- doesn't mean you only feel sick in the morning. For me, it meant morning, afternoon, evening, and night! Oh boy, have I been one sick mommy making machine. I still feel like I can't complain because it's a blessing, but it's been a long week plus one day!
I must say, today I was able to get down a double cheeseburger from McDonalds (the fries were off limits) and then later today, I had some soft pretzels with cheese and fried veggies. Not the healthiest of choices, but what was available, and hey!! it wasn't that bad. I actually enjoyed eating (a bit) hehe :)
Tonight I went to the grocery store and bought some ice-pops that mom used to buy us kiddos when we were younger and also some Trix?? Not sure why, but I wanted them, so, I bought them!

When Morning Sickness Strikes...eat crackers!
So.... everyone asks their mothers a time or two how they felt when they were pregnant. What they can expect if there pregnancy goes like theres... right? I know I'm not alone... right?
Well actually--I never had to ask my mom--she openly told everyone how much she LOVED being pregnant. How wonderful she felt and how she never had morning sickness... just felt a little upset in the stomach... Marmee lied... or atleast didn't remember the whole truth!!! ;)
So here is the where the story begins...
I'm shopping in Staples with Simon looking for some hanging file folders for Susan, when all of a sudden, something was NOT right! I felt so sick. Now, don't think I'm crazy, but I think I began a little "I'm having morning sickness" dance! Not because I want to throw-up for the remaining two months, but because how God just puts things in my life to remind me he's here and he's not leaving my side! Having a miscarriage can make a second pregnancy a lot more scary. All of a sudden, the bathroom becomes a monster because with every wipe, you never know what you're going to find. I was just telling Jon, I hate having to go to the bathroom so often because each time it reminds me how quickly things can change. Today, God sent me a little sign to tell me things are going okay. That my child is growing and that the pregnancy thus far is progressing. I have the case of the sickies!
Naturally, I called my mom because I wanted more information on her pregnancies and it was revealed that maybe she did throw-up a time or two! HEY!! Totally different story!! hehe :) Though I haven't actually thrown-up, I praise God that he sends me signs to let me know he's here.
Ever hear a pregnant woman rejoice about the sickies? Me neither! But for now, I'm just so thankful.

My 1st OBGYN Appointment is scheduled!
April 17th at 3:30 is my first appointment with my midwives!
There are four all together that I'll meet with, my very excited to meet them and check out how my little munchkin is doing.
On a side note-- I'm still feeling great! Finally just got my HUGE prescription prenatal vitamins. Hopefully they are easier to get down. My stomach has been a little upset but nothing to complain about. :-)
