Everythings OK

I called my OB today to schedule an appointment to follow up from the emergency room from yesterday. I explained what happened and what they did at the emergency room. My doctor was extremely upset that they did not check the baby just to make sure there was no problems. Since, they did not check the baby I had to go in to the doctors this morning as soon as possible. They checked the babies heart over a Dobbler machine and everything sounded good. Thank goodness!

I had to leave class quickly to make it to the doctors and my students were in specials when I left, so they thought I was ill yet again. I had to explain to them what had happened since some of them were not sure. I even had to give some details in my newsletter that was sent home today giving more information than I like to give on personal matters, but felt that it was necessary since I scared some students. One student even told their parents that they thought I was having a heart attack on the floor. At that point, I realized I better explain what happened that way they all understood. Some of them understood and others did not, but I ensured them I was fine. It may happen again the doctor said or it may not. I just have to increase my protein in take. Plain old crackers are out the window crackers with protein on top is in.

I have gained a pound over the last 3 weeks, which is good since the morning sickness is getting worse instead of better. I knew this time around was not going to be such a breeze, since with Josie it was. I could not even keep Sprite down this morning. Within 2 sips up it came. I was able to choke down a half a piece of toast. Even though it took my 30 minutes to do it. Within 3 minutes, because I clocked it up it came. I know to much information. The doctor did put me on medicine for the morning sickness. They only prescribe it on really bad cases. He does not like to just give it out. Since, my episode, being under weight at 12 weeks pregnant, and constantly being sick he put me on it as a as needed basis. He only gave me 12 doses, so hopefully I do not need to take it that often. If I do I will save it for during the week and not on the weekends. I hope I never have to take it however since it is not an oral medicine. Gross I know. If taken orally he said you just throw it up, so they make it in a different form if you know what I mean. Nasty! However, he did say it works wonders and lasts for 6 hours. It only takes about 10 minutes to kick in and relieve all morning sickness symptoms.
