Well, I haven't puked since Friday. That's always a good thing. I've wanted pasta, mushrooms, and alfredo sauce for a while so James is cooking it for us.
I still can't shake this fever. I have a cough, I'm stuffy, my head hurts and is congested, and my neck hurts. I've been taking Tylenol but it only brings the fever down by a degree or two, so I still have a fever. It's got me concerned.
I have an appointment with my OB on Wednesday, but I'll be calling them tomorrow morning to see if I can get in any earlier. Hopefully they will be able to get me in.

I'm going to bed in a minute.
I've vomited nine times today. I think it's a new record. I also have a headache and a fever. I couldn't eat anything all day of course, and I couldn't keep anything down yesterday either.
This sucks.
ETA: TEN times. TEN. Ridiculous. Goodnight all.

My mom's youngest brother got married in October. His wife is pregnant and is due on December 5. Our kids will be born a month apart, provided no one comes too early or too late [let's hope that doesn't happen!]. I'm so stoked about that. =)
My mom is trying to plan my shower, and it's turning out to be an adventure to find a decent date. This whole wedding really quickly thing kind of sucks at times, but what can ya do. Insurance is necessary for a baby and he's the one who has it, not me.
Today was an awful day for being sick. Last week at the doctor's I was told to stop taking my prenatal vitamins because I keep getting sick, so I haven't been taking them. Monday and yesterday were very good days for me to be able to eat food and everything, so I decided to try taking the vitamins again last night. Bad idea. Such a bad idea, in fact, that I couldn't even work today. Ridiculous. My mom had the same problem with me--karma, I guess.

| baby update |
[20 May 2009|04:33pm] |
Monday I had my first ultrasound. Baby's heartbeat was 124, which is within normal range, and the size indicated that I am a little over 6 weeks along. Due date is now January 7, 2010.
I haven't eaten in two days. I can't keep anything down at all. No prenatal vitamins, no saltine crackers, no water. I've been terribly nauseated and I keep bringing up whatever I try to eat. Yuck.
I had a doctor's appointment today and they prescribed some reglan to try to calm my stomach. I'll be picking that up from the pharmacy tonight, and hopefully it works. We also went over the results of last week's bloodwork. Everything is just fine.
James's mom and his aunt are cleaning out his grandmother's house. James has ordered cables and stuff for the new wiring and it should be in by the end of the week. Maybe we'll be able to move in by June afterall. =)

I got paid for two hours at work today to see The Wizard Of Oz at the Kirby Center with my first client and her school. That was pretty badass.
I had bloodwork done today because I need a bunch of tests for the pregnancy. They are testing for hepatitis B and C, HIV, Rh blood factors, a whole bunch of stuff. They took EIGHT vials of blood! I got a little woozy sitting there, lol.
My first ultrasound is Monday, and I have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday. I have to miss my first client for the ultrasound on Monday but the Wednesday appointment is after work, so that's good. I get paid on Wednesday and I'm going to try to take Melanie to the vet on Friday or Saturday. She hasn't been there since the beginning of the year. I'm sure she's still doing well, though. =)
James and I went to the mall tonight. I was measured for bras last month at a 32D or 32DD, so today I bought one 34D and two 34DD bras. It's a little crazy, haha, because the C cups haven't fit right for like 3 months so it's not even pregnancy-related. I did need a new pair of bigger jeans, though. They are a size 6 in a higher rise. I could have bought a 4 in a lower rise because of how my belly sits, but I wanted a higher rise. Plus the new jeans are even a little big, so I have some room to grow into them before I need maternity pants. I've been having a hard time getting into my size 2 jeans, I guess that's why, lol. I know I won't need to wear them for long and I'll be back to my normal size (a 2, or maybe a 4, but definitely not a 6) sometime after the pregnancy, but I'll keep them as my "fat pants". =)
Leaving the mall there was a HUGE FUCKING DOWNPOUR of rain. James ran to the call and the water in the parking lot was up to the middle of his shins. Then on the way home on the cross valley, we saw a double rainbow. I took pictures. It was so neat. I'd never seen one before!
2-hour season finale of Grey's Anatomy tonight omg!

I'm about 4 weeks pregnant.
I didn't get a period in April, so when I went to Ashley's last weekend for her graduation, I took a pregnancy test to make sure I could go out drinking with her. It was positive. So was the second and the third one.
We told his parents on Saturday night, then I got bloodwork on Monday to confirm. We got the results on Tuesday and told my parents.
His parents are excited. My mother is excited. I think my father is in shock a little still. Courtney is so stoked and Allan couldn't care less.
James couldn't be happier. I'm not excited yet, but I'm getting there I guess. He's hoping for a boy but will be happy with a girl; I feel the opposite way. I want to find out the sex and he doesn't, so I don't know how I'll manage to keep that a secret from him!
Instead of getting married on 5-21-10, we're now getting married some Friday of THIS August. I'm meeting with the Genetti's planner on Saturday and my dad is coming with me. I've looked into a ton of reception sites in the past 6 months and they are the cheapest I've found that's a reasonable distance away from us and our families. I'm glad we haven't put any deposits down yet!

According to doineedajacket.com, it's 86 degrees where I am right now. YUCK!
On the upside, my "hot" mood icon is a shirtless picture of Patrick Dempsey. =)

| just a holiday update and stuff |
[15 Apr 2009|03:04pm] |
James and I went to his aunt Debbie's house so he could do something with her step-son's iPod. I like Debbie a lot and we had a nice conversation--for a few hours, as all the computer work took quite a long time. I also finally met Marlie, Debbie's dog. She's a boxer and she's pretty old actually, but she's still rambunctious. It's funny because for 7 years Debbie has been signing all my holiday, etc. cards with Marlie's name also, and now I finally met her. [Then again I just met her step-son, A.J., a few years ago and he "signs" all my cards, too.] She slobbered all over the legs of my jeans, though. I guess that's the thing with boxers, lol.
We had a good Easter. James came to my parents' house, then we went to Grandma and Pop's, then to his parents' house. Good food and good company at every place.
He and I watched Marley & Me later that night. I knew the dog died at the end, but oh my god, I still cried for like 20 minutes. Sobbed, sniffled, the works. It made me miss Freeway so much, and he's been dead since January of 2004. I mean, wow. What a sad ending!
James and I are going out tonight. We're together for seven years today. =)

| ER finale |

ER was my favorite show for a long, long time. I watched it religiously with my mom, then myself, up until season 13 or so after Noah Wyle left. I didn't watch much of season 14 but did catch up on TNT recently, and then I watched 15 this year.
I know lots of people stopped watching when George Clooney left after season 5, then more when Anthony Edwards' character died after season 8. It wasn't the same or very good anymore for me after Maura Tierney and Goran Visnjic left early this season, and then they had Parminder Nagra leave a couple episodes ago which was fucked, because why leave when there are like 5 episodes left?
Before the final episode tonight, they had a one-hour special with favorite scenes from all the seasons and all the main cast (except George Clooney =( ) talking about them. I'm kind of surprised I didn't cry. Of course they showed the scene with Clooney getting a boy out of a flooding drain pipe, then standing in water holding the boy and there's helicopter lights shining down on them. I remember watching that episode when it aired with my mom in her bedroom, and being so relieved that they both lived. That episode aired, according to Wiki, the day after I turned 10 and I still remember it.
My Thursday night still has Grey's Anatomy, but I'm gonna miss ER.

The Lion King, and it's still among my favorites. [I can't decide on a single favorite.] Before that it was 101 Dalmatians, which I still love.
