Hi, I'm still here and so is my kicking little baby!
I forgot to mention that immediately after I got home from that visit they called and told me that my pee sample had already cultured so I was off to the pharmacy. 7 days worth of ABX, taken every 12 hours. Easy, right?
No.
First, 12 hours when I am actually awake.... so, basically 11:45 or so. Turns out I had a terrible reaction to it and I spent a week sick to my stomach. It went something like this:
Take pill without food because I forgot to, half hour later get worse nausea than morning sickness, almost hurl for reals. Repeat. Try to shove food down my throat at midnight to counter the effects.
Seriously that was the worst experience I've ever had with ABX. My stomach was constantly burning, I was constantly nauseated, and it probably gave me that bad headache. Due to my higher heartrate combined with my burning stomach, my body thought I was in anxiety attack mode for the whole week. It affected my dreams, everything. I was completely miserable. I almost couldn't finish. By Tuesday I was freaking out about taking another dose. I managed to hold on and take it all the way through. I was SOOOO happy for Thursday night to roll around. Literally the next day after I finished it, my body drastically improved and I was no longer anxious and freaking out. My dreams returned to normal and I feel better than I have in a long time.
Remind me to never EVER take nitrofurantoin again.
In other news, I got my midwife appt on July 1st and the anatomical u/s on the 8th. Eeeek!

Baby Sagittarius Says Hello!
I finally had my first prenatal appointment today and it was full of surprises. Without further ado, here is the active, dancing, very much alive baby growing inside of me:
I'd been putting it off for a very long time since I wanted to be at least 12 weeks before I went. I've been a wreck for the past two months waiting and being paranoid at every bathroom break. I finally got it scheduled and was off this morning with my mom after a sleepless night to get a tiny peek at the baby and get a soft due date and all that.
I mainly put it off because I was so worried about a pelvic exam. I've not had a single drop of blood come from *there* and I knew the exam would cause some bleeding and that would cause me to lose my S!&t! Thankfully, even after I requested not to, I didn't even need it done anyway. My vitals were all good, BP and heartrate a little higher than normal because of nerves, and it was soon time for my midwife to come in and have a peek.
I figured I was about 12-ish weeks because my hcg was negative on March 8 and all that but as soon as I told her my symptoms she thought I was further along than that. Then she felt my abdomen and said "you're feeling more like 16 weeks." WHAT??? She turned on the ultrasound and the first thing we saw was a face looking right at me, a beautiful squirming bundle of limbs, and a perfectly formed spine. Then came the real surprise. It was so big she couldn't even measure it for an estimate.
I'm past 12, past 13, and past 14 weeks. That's right, I'm 15w3d by her calculations.
WHAT???????
Soft due date November 26.
WHAT???????????
I'm almost a month further than I thought! I got pregnant before I even started trying again! I'm having a baby a month sooner than I thought!
WOOHOO!!!!!!!!
So yes, it is very safe to say I am pregnant and I am long away from the first trimester so I can stop worrying so much. Yay yay yay!
I'm dubbing it Baby Sagittarius until it's born. We do have names picked out, and you can probably guess what they are, but I probably won't use them until it's here. Ben is sure it's going to be a boy and I'm not super sure but after looking at it, I think it's gonna be a girl. It has long fingers and toes for sure! I'll be able to know in only like three weeks!
BTW, yesterday I realised that the "baby bump" is not even the baby. It's all fat and guts, haha. I definitely look pregnant now... I got a big round tummy and my ute won't be far behind... :P
Dat Hand... :D

No News is Good News
So yeah, I got bored of the weekly Survey Sunday. Oops. :P
Things in the P department continue to go well. I almost go hours at a time without FREAKING OUT about everything I feel *down there.* I finally realized a few days ago that the wetness I keep feeling, that I keep panicking about, is just, ummmm, my pee-soaked... yeah.
I'm still nauseous every day but it's maybe? maybe???? getting a little better. Every time I go into the break room at work I want to hurl. It just stinks. It stinks like everyone's lunch. While I'm not really craving much, there are certain foods I want because the thought and smell of them both make me not sick! These include salads and veggie trays and possibly burritos. I'll eat most foods but there is a marked sllloooowwwiinggggg doooowwwnnnnnnn of my eating speed. I mean, I normally inhale my food but right now I eat at a snail's pace and can't finish a salad in the 30 minutes of my lunch time.
The only foods I WILL NOT eat and that make me want to puke just thinking about them are...
-TV dinners, specifically Hungry Man. Seriously, hearing the words make me gag. Gravy.... nooooo!!
-The chicken paddies my husband got make me sick too and I won't eat them, which is a shame as they are cheap and quite good.
Everything else is pretty fair game, although sometimes I eat something, like oreos, and my stomach reacts in painful ways. Weird.
Anyway at the mo, I am mostly nauseous when going from sitting to standing or from standing to laying down. I also get randomly sick a few times throughout the day but so far no puke. For having GERD, I'm surprised nothing has actually come up... it's like an open invitation to upchuck! Also, physical exertion makes me sick. That sucks. At one point pushing a shopping cart made me want to lay down and vom.
My constipation is better, now that I made myself get some cereal and stuff. I also have been trying to force myself to drink more water. I haven't crapped a brick in like a month so woohoo. I haven't clogged the toilet in about a month now too! That was an embarrassing pain.... had to cut it in half with the plunge-- ohhhhhkay not going there.
As for my abdomen, everything is great. I definitely feel it and it's pushing my fat tummy out. It's like I got two fat rolls and the bottom one is a solid ute. When I pee sometimes it doesn't come out because it's being pressed on and now when I bend over a certain way on the potty my ute slides around and it feels really weird. No spotting or cramping ever- knock serious wood. I'm still terrified.
I still haven't gone to the doctor, mostly because I want to wait till 12 weeks and because I'm terrified of the cervical exam. I am seriously going to lost my s&&& if I see a single drop of blood on my panties and that will make me bleed. I'm considering not letting her do it. I'm going to be a panicked mess either way. Hopefully she understands. Anyway that means no due date but I dreamed, and estimate, my due date to be December 15th. I'm 9-10 weeks...ish? Definitely further than before and getting more confident by the day.
I will feel so much better after the 12th week. I'm almost there. :o
So yeah, prayers would be greatly accepted and appreciated, if you're that kind of person. Pray for my sanity. So far I've only seriously lost it once because I thought I saw something but didn't but I was worried sick for like 2 days. I'm better now and it definitely feels different this go around. I can't wait to make it official but I'm cool with waiting now.
Other random symptoms include:
-BEING WARM FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!!! It was so amazing at church to say no when asked if the breeze was making me cold! I am seriously loving being hot/warm.
-Being tired. I can easily take a 3 hour nap and then sleep a full 9-10 hours at night. It's better than it was when I was sick and I hardly notice it, but yeah I could fall asleep pretty much any time I set out to do it.
-I'm gaining lots of weight. Well, I gained 15-20 pounds above my normal weight but a lot of that is from my Newlywed Diet and it hasn't gone up any more than that and that was months ago. Still, I got that swinging arm fat now! D: And a muffin top and rolls on my sides and at certain angles my boobs can touch my tummy! D:
-I'm starting to get overly emotional although not as much as I thought. It's nothing like my usual PMS but I had a day there when I was missing my school friends and sad being out of the loop and browsed Pinterest and cried. lol
-I'm not all that broken out. That's nice. I do always have some sort of zit though. Whatever.

SS Week 18
Outside my window:
I see a newwww yarrrdddd out the window because we have moved into our new house!!
I Am Thinking:
About all we have to do tomorrow ughhh...
I Am Thankful For:
Making it this far and still going strong with two hearts (wink).
From The Kitchen:
It's so much bigger!
I Am Wearing:
Pink peasant top, mickey mouse pj bottoms.
On the 'Go Organize' Front:
Unpack. lol
I Am Going:
To spent a lot of time stocking up this new house.
I Am Reading:
Blogs.
I Am Hoping:
That the next, um, 7 months go the way they're supposed to.
I Am Praying For:
Not freaking out about Sagittarius, as I've called it.
I Am Hearing:
Our QUIET dishwasher!
Around The House:
Stuff to unpack, put away, organize.
One Of My Favorite Things:
My parents :3
A Few Plans For The Rest of The Week:
Well, we officially moved in here on April 30th. It's been hectic since my parents had a problem closing on their house so they're actually still here with most of their stuff sitting in a storage unit until Tuesday. However, I don't mind the company one bit and it's been fun. Now we get to learn how to run this place. :o
We had no idea how to tell our landlord that we're ending our lease, surprise, we needed to submit a 30 day notice. We'll get charged May's rent unless they find someone to buy the apartment before June (which will probably happen) in which case they'll refund that money back. We moved everything out and got it as clean as we could make it last weekend through Tuesday, spending our first night on Tuesday night.
I'm really nauseous and food is just gross to me most of the time but I'm doing well. I am so constipated however that-- oh nevermind. It's gross. I'm planning on waiting till June to see my doctor in case anything happens but I'm pretty sure this is the one. I've had several dreams about holding my baby and trying to breastfeed (because I REALLY don't want to cuz my nips are the most sensitive things ever) and I even saw my baby's face and all that- something that didn't happen the last time at all. I'm still scared but the anxiety lessens a little every day and by the time June rolls around I'll finally feel like actually telling people. Everything is going as it should so that's good. I haven't hurled but have come close a few times... I didn't realize how much everything stinks. Also I'm tired all the time and could easily go down for a nap pretty much any day for like 3 hours at a time. It makes it hard to go through my stuff.

A Few Plans For The Rest of The Week:
- Turn in our apartment keys to officially end our lease and all that
- Go to the DMV to change our address on our licenses AND obtain a replacement copy of the title to Ben's scooter plus register it again so it's street legal.
- Stock the house with raw goods like flour, sugar, etc. I'd been so long since I've had flour and stuff! I can't wait to make noodles all the time!
- Obtain some bigger items like mixer/food processor, iron, cheese grater...
- Go through my clothes again and toss a ton of stuff that no longer fits now that I am 25-30 pounds higher than my weight listed on my license and will not get any thinner any time soon. Also hang stuff up because not a single thing is on a hanger.
- Notify EVERYTHING of our change of address.
- Get Ben a cool desk. :P

SS Weeks 16 and 17
Sorry about that. I missed last week. I don't feel like doing the survey, so here are some updates.
I've still been sick but I know why. I'm still really superstitious about it, and not ready to throw around the "P" word yet, but let's just say random nausea all day, constipation, being a slave to cravings, and being really tired are constant companions. I got a plus three weeks ago. Shhhhhhh!
Also, we closed on our house last week! We've been like mad trying to pack everything up today and our apartment is getting emptier by the minute. The best part about a small apartment is we don't have much to pack. We still need to tell our landlord we are moving. Oops. I really hope we don't get docked because of it...
So yeah, trying to pack when feeling sick and having a sore back is no fun but it's going super fast and we'll be in our nice big house soon! My parents are obviously moving as well and are getting everything ready to go to their new place across town. Onward!

Sleeping.
A Few Plans For The Rest of The Week:
Continue to get well ugghhhhhh...
Weekly Update:
Another week of sickness has come and gone. After like 10 days, this beast of a cold is on its way out. I never get sick like this and it's happened twice in 5 months. I missed a day of work, part of another day of work, and had the worst sore throat for many days. My ears got plugged and still aren't draining right. I got a sore in my cheek making the teeth on my left side hurt incredibly bad. My eyes decided to join the party too and goop over for four days in a row, though they didn't hurt enough for it to actually be pinkeye. I'm finally back to having some decent amount of energy and am not a pale mess picking at my food.
To make it worse, I've been incredibly nauseated too and food just makes me want to hurl. Good times.
So I spent the week sick waiting for it to fly by pretty much and I just now feel better. I hope I feel better in time to pack and move! Two weeks left!
Today at church I met my new visiting teacher... too bad I'm leaving in two weeks, haha. However, she did offer to bring in some people to help deep clean the apartment so at least we get to interact a little bit! (A VT is a lady in the ward at church who is assigned to visit certain other ladies in the ward and chat with them, share a gospel message, and help them with things they need. Every lady both has a VT and is assigned to 2-3 people to minister. I miss doing it in my old ward.)
Just a thought... in a perfect world, I'd be due to deliver my first child today.

Weekly Update:
Mother of Garrett, I am sick, sick, sick. Monday I went walking which was great but I pulled every muscle in my ankles and hips and stuff. I also started to get a tickle in my throat at night. By Tuesday night my voice was gone but without much sick time I tried to brave work on Wednesday even though I could hardly speak.
I ended up having to leave early because I was getting chills and when I got home I had a fever of 100 which is VERY high for me as normal is 97. I asked my parents to come over and pick Ben up from work which they did. I took Thursday off and felt a little better so I hung out at my parents' house (I really wanted homemade noodles lol).
Friday I was better enough for work but the last two hours of my shift I overdid it and left work with a VERY sore throat that got so bad it made my ears ache. I thought there was water from my hot bath trapped in my ear which led to me trying to dig nonexistant water out of my ear. I felt like I had swimmers ear it hurt so bad. I went to bed early and got up many times in the night, finally getting up at 8 to go to urgent care to make sure I didn't have an ear infection. I didn't, so I was on my way with some ear drops to take away any pain. Guess my throat is so swollen it's blocking my ears from draining.
Saturday was better but my throat still hurt at the end of my shift. I've been exhausted for like 3 weeks now which doesn't help. I was well enough to get some groceries but then fell asleep pretty fast.
Sunday I was awake enough to watch General Conference. Man the talks were good! I felt much better inside after watching it but I was still sick and by now had a bronchitis kind of cough. My ears come and go with being plugged up. Then, sometime in the evening, my eyes started watering like I had pinkeye or something and were leaking goop. I went to bed and woke up this morning with my eyes glued shut. Seriously. I cannot catch a break.
Thankfully my eyes aren't red or hurting so it's not pinkeye and after I have them a good cleaning they aren't leaking anymore so I have no idea what that was about but I feel like total crap and am not looking forward to working this week. Ben pretty much pulled my right eye open... it was nasty. So yeah my whole upper body is getting virus'd up or something. My immune system is shot. I'm slightly nauseous too but that could also be because all I ate for dinner last night was Gardetto's. Yeah, I feel like total rubbish. I can still easily fall asleep during the day for an hour or two and then sleep all night. My nose is a bit stuffy but it's just stuff from deep in my throat. My voice isn't completely back but it's a lot better than it was.
So yeah. I'm really sick. Also I know it's Monday. That's how sick I was.

Weekly Update:
Mother of Garrett, I am sick, sick, sick. Monday I went walking which was great but I pulled every muscle in my ankles and hips and stuff. I also started to get a tickle in my throat at night. By Tuesday night my voice was gone but without much sick time I tried to brave work on Wednesday even though I could hardly speak.
I ended up having to leave early because I was getting chills and when I got home I had a fever of 100 which is VERY high for me as normal is 97. I asked my parents to come over and pick Ben up from work which they did. I took Thursday off and felt a little better so I hung out at my parents' house (I really wanted homemade noodles lol).
Friday I was better enough for work but the last two hours of my shift I overdid it and left work with a VERY sore throat that got so bad it made my ears ache. I thought there was water from my hot bath trapped in my ear which led to me trying to dig nonexistant water out of my ear. I felt like I had swimmers ear it hurt so bad. I went to bed early and got up many times in the night, finally getting up at 8 to go to urgent care to make sure I didn't have an ear infection. I didn't, so I was on my way with some ear drops to take away any pain. Guess my throat is so swollen it's blocking my ears from draining.
Saturday was better but my throat still hurt at the end of my shift. I've been exhausted for like 3 weeks now which doesn't help. I was well enough to get some groceries but then fell asleep pretty fast.
Sunday I was awake enough to watch General Conference. Man the talks were good! I felt much better inside after watching it but I was still sick and by now had a bronchitis kind of cough. My ears come and go with being plugged up. Then, sometime in the evening, my eyes started watering like I had pinkeye or something and were leaking goop. I went to bed and woke up this morning with my eyes glued shut. Seriously. I cannot catch a break.
Thankfully my eyes aren't red or hurting so it's not pinkeye and after I have them a good cleaning they aren't leaking anymore so I have no idea what that was about but I feel like total crap and am not looking forward to working this week.
