Who would have known... it was the gall bladder...

Two weeks after returning to work and 6 weeks after having Junior, I had to have my gallbladder removed.
I had puking on and off for an entire week. I finally called my doctor after 5 days of puking and he prescribed an over the counter medicine for a virus. I never went to pick it up because I knew it wasn't a virus.
I finally went to the emergency room on sunday June 3rd. Actually it was monday because I went at 2am.
They did an ultrasound and told me I had gallbladder stones and it was inflamed. Therefore they would keep me and schedule surgery.
I had it removed on June 5th. The day I was supposed to attend my college graduation.
I got 4 incisions and they cured pretty quickly. The first week I had a hard time getting around but by the weekend I was good as gold.
I saw the surgeon for follow up this past friday. He took the stitches out and now I'm good to go.

Back from Maternity Leave

Boy, do I miss my little boy. He turned 4 weeks today. He'll be a month old on the 19th.
I'm at work just wishing to hurry up and get home to him. He smells so good. I wish I could bottle up his smell and carry it with me.
I have 5 more minutes to leave work, then I get to go home.

I took 6 weeks off for maternity leave. Albert is home with the kids. Lucky him.
Although Amelia is a handful. But I love her anyway. :)

The man of my dreams is born....

I'm officially Full term (37 weeks)

I saw OB last night. He didn't give me #'s. But I'm 2 cm dilated and my cervix is super soft. Last time checked I was 1 cm but cervix was thick and long.
He said if it were my first child he would say I got ways to go. Since its my third I can go at any minute. I also lost the plug this morning.
I don't know how encouraging that is or not. I got a note for work to stay home. I'll turn that in once I get some stuff done in the office.
Wednesday will be my last day at work until I come back from Maternity Leave.

No baby yet!

This is the longest I've been pregnant. I'll be 36 weeks on thursday. I bet my husband I wasn't going to make it and he bet I would.
Now I'm starting to believe that I'll be full term for once. I actually can't wait to have the baby. I want to start working already.
My back is seriously killing me and its harder and harder to walk.

I got everything ready for the baby. Only thing I need is a double stroller since Amelia doesn't walk much at the malls.
But I doubt we'll even be going to the mall after all these babies.

My purse business is going great. Except for the snow this weekend. It ruined everything. No vendors. :(
I'm counting down the days to get this baby out.

I wish I could get him out myself...lol

RIP to my beautiful Niece...

She was born Dec 20, 2006 and passed on March 9, 2007. Not even 3 months old.
I hadn't seen her in over a month because of a fight I had with my sister in law.
My husband got to see her on friday and played with her. He said she was so chunky.
Well that same night her dad fell asleep with her in the bed and rolled over on her and suffocated her.
My mother in law lives with them and she had asked my nephew to check on the baby he said she's not there.
So she went upstairs and my brother in law did not answer. She opened the door and noticed him laying on top of her.
She tried to wake him up for some time. Then they called 911. They had them do CPR until they got there. But when they got they there they kept trying and nothing. She had been dead for about 45 min. We are all devastated. Her viewing and funeral are tomorrow.
What a shame!!! Such a short life she lived. We will always love her.

Baby Shower at work yesterday

I got a shower yesterday at work. I was surprised even though I've heard it was coming soon. Anyway, they called me in for cake because of someone's birthday. I didn't think anything of it because it was a snow day and I knew no one was going to be carrying stuff around in the snow.
So I walk towards the kitchen and I see the door half way shut. I knew something was up. I was so embarrassed to walk in. I walked in and everyone said happy shower. Although I'd been thru this before at work with Deija and Amelia. It felt like the first time. I asked if I had to open them in front of everyone. They said yes you have to. Then I said stop looking at me...lol I was acting like a school kid. I just wanted to hide. I guess because of so many of the Big Wigs (bosses) were there. Well I got a gift card to target for $200. I got avent bottles, baby clothes, socks, bibs, blankets, sneakers, that thing so the baby doesn't roll (forgot what it’s called). I can't remember what else but everything was so nice.

My rough weekend at 33 weeks.

I woke up with heartburn on friday night. I took some Maalox and again I started vomiting. I was up all night from 2am until the morning doing nothing but vomiting and screaming in pain.
I finally decided to go to the ER at 8am. I didn't have anything left in my stomach and still the pain wouldn't go away.
I went to the nearest hospital because I thought since it was non-maternity related I could go to a different (closer) hospital. Well when I got there they wouldn't see me at their ER. They wheel chaired me to the maternity floor. I was so embarrassed because I knew it was stupid that I was up there. Plus the baby was okay.
Well they opened the doors the their maternity section and a woman was in labor. She was screaming and they were counting and telling her to push. I started crying in fear and kept telling them I'm not ready for this and I want to leave. Nothing is wrong with my baby. That is not why I'm there.
Well they put me on the monitor and I was having huge contractions. I always have them so its not biggie. I don't even feel them. But they said its from vomiting so much that causes contractions.
Then I vomited a few times while there until the bag of fluids was done. I fell asleep during the second bag. They gave me some ginger ale and if I didn't puke I could go home.
The pain was all gone after the IV so I went home.
I was so scared to eat all day. This was the third time in 2 weeks that I'd been up vomiting. I don't know what it is.
My cervix is still 1cm dilated so that's good.

In the mood to binge eat!!!

Okay, I'm in a pigging out mood. But not for candy...just junk food. Mac & Cheese, Cheese burger... etc.
I'm in a bindging mood.

It snowed all day yesterday so I didn't do anything but stay in. I thought today would be a snow day but it was above temp so most of it is slush. I'm here at work and once again don't feel like working. I need to focus.

I got a new thing to do now... I bought a bunch of designer replica purses and I put them up for sale online and they all sold.
I love it. A bunch of people want some more. I'll go back next weekend. I only sell to a online community that I participate in.
They have to have been part of the community for a while. I wouldn't sell to anyone new. Hopefully I don't go in labor next week.
I got lots of bags to buy...lol

Well Deija got to spend the day with her friend on Sat. We picked her up and took her home.
I never got my floor done like I wanted to. My mom and aunt never came to clean my house last week.
They clean my house as part of the business. I think they are trying to get away from paying me and cleaning.
How slick are they...???
My aunt, I understand. She just got surgery done in her mouth.
My mom is just getting lazy. She wants to do the houses alone but complains and complains.
She wants to make all the money herself and not work as hard.
She's in the wrong line of business.

Anyway, next weekend I'll go back and buy more purses. I'll need to take my mom with me so she can help me carry them.

Okay, so I'm done for now... I'll go get some m&ms to hold me up until I get home...

BRING ON THE FOOD!!!

32 weeks today

I went for my ultrasound on Monday (president's day) and everything was good. The fluid went down to 20cm.
The baby weights 3lbs 12ounces. I'm glad because I want to have him weight at least 5lbs. He gained 1lb in 3 weeks.

Well I went home and everything was going great. I woke up at 3:30am with terrible pain. I just sat in bed and drank water and watched tv.
Finally I laid down again and fell asleep. When I woke up I was still in pain but went to work. All day at work I was in pain.
I just wanted to get home. I told my husband I wanted to go straight to bed. So I did. I was watching tv and the contractions kept getting stronger and stronger. I told him I need to eat now because I'm hungry and if I go to Labor & Delivery all I will think about is food.
We got some square pizza then I told a bath. During the bath I had the worst contraction ever. I just screamed.

I told my husband if I get another one like this I'm going to L&D. As soon as I laid down I got another one even more painful.
Well we got the girls ready and headed to the hospital. The contractions were about 2 to 3 minutes and very painful.

When we got to the elevator I started to have stomach pains. I knew after eating and all the action I would get stomach pain.
Well as soon as I got in the room I went to the bathroom to change and I vomited all over their sink.

The pain of my stomach and the contraction pain went away.
Although the monitor kept showing I was having contractions and big ones.
They put me on two bags of IV and gave me two shots of Brethine and checked my cervix.
My cervix is one centimeter dilated. I couldn't believe. I guess I should have known because I kept feeling like the baby was coming out during the contractions.

My doctor was the one on call so he discharged me and told me to come in thursday. Which is today.
I hope to update tomorrow what went on today. Although I've been in lots of pain all day today.

Update @ 30 weeks

So I went to the doctors last night. My weight is 165lbs. Not too bad. I thought I would tip the scale.
I lost 1 1/2 lbs. The heartbeat and moment sounded great. I told him about the visit at the Peri. He said that other than the fluid everything else seem completely normal and he is doing great. All it is, is just extra fluid. Not to worry.

Other than that, I am huge. My belly is so big. The rest of my body looks normal like if I wasn't pregnant. But when you look at my stomach its like Woozers...lol

I can barely get up at night to use the bathroom. My husband has to pull me up so I can get up.
I feel happy. I'm not stressed lately. Depression is gone or at least hidden by happiness.

I must be feeling so happy because I just ate a chicken parm sandwich and it was so good. I'm just in a happy mood now.

Bad Ultrasound

Today was my visit with Peri. I am so freaked out, I can't even type.
Let me start out with the positive things. Baby weights 2lbs 15ounces. One hour gloucose came back good.
Last time I went to the Peri they said I had access fluid and it might be diabetes. So they ruled it out because I pass the one hour test.
My fluid is now 29cm. A full term pregnant woman only holds 24cm. So my water can break at any time. Also the reason for so much pelvic pressure.
Okay, so here goes the bad part. The access fluid can mean that there is a blockage somewhere in the throat or esophogus. If thats the case the baby will need surgery.
Amelia had an imperfrate anus. She was born with no anus and a blockage of course. Peri thinks that the same thing might happen with this baby.
My husband asked him if we should be worried. He said worrying is not going to fix anything. So basically yes we should be worried.
I have to read up on this online.

Okay, so I feel better

I was really depressed and couldn't sleep for two days straight.
I'm almost back to normal again.

OT:
I am 28 weeks today. Last time I was weighted was at 26 weeks and was 164.
I gained a total of 14lbs on this pregnancy so far. I go in tonight for a check up.
Hopefully my weight isn't crazy.

I was having terrible contractions on Monday. I ended up in L&D. They gave me two shots of Brethine and send me on my way.
I was a little dehydrated as well.

It must have been stress.
I took off on Tuesday per docs orders. When I came in here yesterday I had my boss jumping down my throat about cell phone use.
He thinks I'm being distracted. What does he know????

Anyway, the baby moves so much. I have terrible pelvic pressure. I could barely walk.
At night I just toss and turn in bed because I can't get the right position.
I end up with my legs all over Albert and Amelia just rolls and rolls all over me. I have to keep moving her.

I really need to go shopping for the baby. I am no where near ready for the baby.
I don't even have a carseat. I don't know if Amelia's car seat is still good or not.
Maybe I can buy a cover.
