It's been awhile!

I thought I would start an update!  I feel like my immune system is shot!  I have a horrible sinus infection.  I left work early today and went to the minute clinic.  The nurse told me that half of my face is swollen and this is above her level of care.  She told me to go to urgent care and not risk anything while pregnant.

Shortly after, Paul called Suzanne and she said that it wasn't necessary unless I have a high fever, blurry vision, or dizziness.  Thus, I just went home, popped some Tylenol, drank lots of water, and I'll be going to bed soon.

Other than this illness, I've been having lots of headaches and my first migraine at 10 weeks.  Paul was so sweet! He made me ice packs and gave me a massage.  I haven't had a second one, so that is good!!!

I'm going to get to bed and try to work a full day tomorrow.

2nd Ultrasound 9w3d

Today was my second ultrasound.  Paul was able to come today (very exciting).  When we were waiting in the waiting room and Paul was snooping through all the drawers and playing with the equipment.  I couldn't get him to sit in his corner and wait! AHH!


So the Dr. came into the exam room (Dr. Gaines).  He did a full body exam and then started the u/s.  The little baby only measured 8w5d.  MORE STRESS.  What the heck?  Over 1w6d, the baby only grew only 1w1d.  The doctor wasn't concerned but obviously I am.  I asked him to measure the heart rate and he said, "I don't know how to do that.  I'm the oldest Dr. here."  I was like, okay grandpa, maybe it's time to retire if you can't fulfill the proper OB exam requirements?  Ugh, anyway, he was a very nice guy, but geesh.  He also took the time to explain things to us and draw us pictures of how the baby was oriented in the u/s.  That was also nice of him.  Anyway, my next appointment won't be until next month.  Pray for healthy times!
