Late again! Want my weekly excuse? I was sick this week, ugh! Woke up around 3am Tuesday morning throwing up, didn't really get much sleep after that, and continued to not be able to hold anything down the rest of the day. Justin and I caught "What to expect when you're expecting" at this cool movie theatre in Scottsdale in the afternoon, and I was really hungry so we took full advantage of the order from your seats service that was provided. It was a great experience and the food was good, but towards the end of the movie I could tell things weren't sitting too well... Justin wanted to see this guys SRT4 that was for sale that lives in Scottsdale so while we waited in the parking lot I couldn't take it anymore and had to go behind some bushes right in broad daylight, it was gross. There were spiders all over the place, and I didn't even care! Got home, took a nice long nap, and drank a little bit of water and was able to hold that down before I went to bed.
Wednesday I woke up feeling much better! I was able to eat small amounts and drink and I thought for sure the worst was over! Thursday I woke up at 6am even sicker than I was on Tuesday, it didn't even matter if there was anything in my stomach or not I was throwing up the whole time. I called my OB because I was afraid I'd start getting dehydrated and they sent me to L&D at the hospital. Got there that afternoon and was checked in. I gave them a urine sample that they said they could check for dehydration and then laid there watching stupid court shows for maybe 45 minutes. A nurse walks in and starts talking about discharge, go home get some rest and drink fluids. I was like "Um, I'm here because I can't keep any fluids down!" She was a little flustered, then she spotted my cup of ice chips and asked if I had kept those down. I had, even though I still felt sick to my stomach so she said to go home and eat some ice chips and drink very small amounts a little at a time. I was very disappointed in my lack of treatment, not that I wanted an IV or anything but they didn't really even do anything and I'm pregnant! Bitty seemed to be fine the whole time, he wouldn't even hold still to get the heart rate monitor and kicked me relentlessly so I'm glad he has been ok.
I've been fine the past two days, fingers are crossed that I don't get sick again! I don't know if it was because I started taking the 300mg Zantac tablets that made me sick (even though I had been taking 2 150mg tablets which is 300mg for over a week) or if it was some type of bug. I just hope it doesn't happen again! It's hard to take care of the girls when you are puking the whole time, and my parents left for WI this morning and will be gone for two weeks. So if I do get sick, I'm on my own!
Aside from being sick, there's not a whole lot to report. Bitty kicks and punches up a storm, definitely taking advantage of not having to share a room! He hasn't gotten the hiccups that I can tell yet, but I'm waiting for it to start. The girls had hiccups 24/7, I wonder if he'll be the same way? I'm excited to get closer to my 3rd trimester! It officially starts at 27 weeks, which is just over a week away! The home stretch!
Symptoms - My hips hurt if I lay on one side for too long, and my stomach protests the whole day if I eat too much, so I have to eat very small amounts throughout the day otherwise I feel like complete crap.
Food cravings - I still miss my McChickens! Haven't craved anything else.
Size of baby - Bitty should be somewhere close to 1.5lbs and 9-10 inches head to rump, he feels pretty big in there!
