Stomach Bug

I just can't catch a break these days, haha! I had a stomach bug beginning Sunday evening and all through the day yesterday. At about 8:30 last night, Brian and I decided it was time to get a hold of the doctor or go to the ER because of fear of dehydration. Luckily the doctor called me right back and we discussed the options. He suggested we try a different prescription first and see if that helps with calming the sickness so I can get fluids in me. The other option was go to the ER and get hooked up to an IV for fluids. Luckily, the new medication worked and we didn't have to make a special trip to the hospital. I am feeling better today; exhausted and sore from being sick, but I am getting fluids in and have been able to eat a little. Maybe all of the stomach stuff will end soon, fingers crossed.

Status Quo

Well, not too much going on around here, basically same 'ol, same 'ol. The most exciting news is that my best friend, Katie and her husband, Ryan, welcomed a beautiful baby girl, Avery Katherine, into the world at 1:04am this morning. I am so proud and happy for them! I'm looking forward to my trip down to Houston to visit them next month.

Brian is back at work this week, so Sam and I have been holding down the fort. Unfortunately I had a problem refilling my anti-nausea medication this week and had to wait until this morning to pick it up. Insurance will only pay for 30 pills in a 26 day time period, but yet I can take 2 pills a day...the math doesn't work well on that does it?!?! Anyway, it made for an ugly few days and one night spent on the floor of my bathroom. Needless to say I did my happy dance at the pharmacy this morning and am feeling much better, thank goodness.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter weekend!

We think it's cute...

But we are somewhat partial! Here it is, finally, the baby's first picture. This was at last week's appointment. I went back to the doctor yesterday and had a lot of blood taken for blood work and also got to hear the heartbeat again. I am so amazed everytime I hear it. I don't think I will ever tire from hearing that sound. It is amazing to know there is a little one in there thriving and growing!
