So, finals are this week and very hecktic. For those of you who don't know, I'm pregnant and have been extrememly sick since the week after we found out...so basically the entire time. This past week has been the first week for me to keep anything down which is good! I have lost almost 15 pounds from being sick but so far the baby is still great! I am about 12 1/2 weeks along and hoping that this sickness continues to lighten! Hopefully because of the sickness lightening a bit I will be able to do decent on my finals! We didn't want people to know we were pregnant for a while just incase of miscarriage but I have been so sick that that went out the window!
I haven't been in for IV for about two weeks which is great! I've been in the ER once for it and the doctors office about 4 or 5 times...I stopped counting. I know which nurses I DON'T like to put in my IV and which ones I don't mind. The last time I was in the first IV spot on my right arm would not drip...they had the thing open so it would go fast and it was slower than a slug...the first 1/4 of the bag took over an hour and a half practically! Then they put another IV into my left arm and had both of them going till the first ran out, then took that one out and left the other to finish! It was quite a day...the nurse stayed over an hour after closing so I could get all the IV they said I needed.
My next appointment is this Tuesday! As my doctor said it is the "painful visit" because I have to get the pap smear, breast exam, blood taken, etc etc...all the ...FUN....stuff! I am just hoping that if I continue to feel better I can get off of these dumb nausea medicines...I can't keep food down but give me 800 thousand pills to take with FOOD. gee thanks!
So there is my complaints while updating at the same time!! Christopher has been amazing through it all and my mom as well! Christopher does everything he can for me while he isn't working or at his internship and the rest of the time my mom takes care of me! They are amazing!!!!
Maybe..hopefully...sometime soon I will feel good enough to look presentable for a picture! Christopher and I don't have any recent ones cept from a camping trip..those are so attractive...and that was like 3 or 4 months ago I think!

Hey hun! I'm glad you are feeling better! that is great!! And pap tests aren't THAT bad... socially uncomfortable for sure, but they aren't really painful. Same with breast exams. And blood draws... that should be a piece of cake after all the IV's you've endured :) anyway, hope you continue to feel better!
