Christmas was nice, but I am glad it is over! The stress of the holidays is something I probably should learn to handle a little better. It was so nice taking some time off work to have 5 days home with my family. We really didn't do much but spend time together. No rushing to get anywhere - on Saturday after Christmas I stayed in pajamas all day! We took down Christmas decorations already and it is nice to have the space back in our family room where the tree goes. Jensen always gets so many toys for his birthday and Christmas we have no idea where to put any of it!
I got spoiled this year! Tons of gifts cards including Visa, Amazon, and the spa (from Corey). Silhouette stuff for cutting vinyl (business is still going pretty well), clothes, makeup, and my mom said she will take me to buy a few maternity outfits to have for Puerto Rico!
Today is New Year's Eve and I am at work for 4 hours and then enjoying the rest of the day home with Jensen. Tonight we are going to Zack and Jackie's house and Jensen will stay overnight with my mom. We are going to do dinner over there and just hang out. The boys will be partying while us girls will be "moms".
I am still feeling very nauseous all the time. The new medicine I got, Diclegis, has been working, but not as well as I hoped. I am supposed to take that medicine 3x a day but on an empty stomach. It is hard to have an empty stomach when you are pregnant and when you are sick so you are supposed on snack a lot. Water is my worst enemy right now. I am trying to drink it, but makes me feel worse. I have been adding peach ice tea Crystal Lite and that seems to help a bit. Not eating a lot and having a hard time snacking like I should. There is about 1 time a day that I feel really hungry and actually eat a good meal. Otherwise I mostly just stick to the 3 meals a day and have small portions. No weight gain yet! 7 weeks tomorrow!
My 6 week appointment with Dr. B was last Friday (2 days after Christmas). Everything seemed to go just fine. He did an ultrasound and you could see a small sac, but that was it. It was too early to really see anything. I go back the 3rd week of January for my 10 week checkup. Dr. Brown estimates a due date of August 20th. Dr. B did talk about having a c-section for my delivery, but I want to do some research on VBACs and see what I find. I was worned about your uterus rupturing during labor after you have had a c-section and it sounds terrifying. I just need to have all the info before I make a decision. Dr. B isn't pushing me to make a decision and isn't rushing me which is nice. I would love to have a vaginal birth for the sack of my health and healing. It will be so hard to take care of a 2 year old and a newborn after major surgery!
