Not telling yet, HA!!
Actually I just had my C.V.S test this past Thursday and it went pretty smooth. I was quite nervous, even though I had done it before, so a good friend of mine went with me. It really brings up a lot of emotion going to the baby Dr. Mostly about family. When I go I am usually the only one by myself. Especially where I live now, southern city, it seems magnified. Women come w/ what I assume are husbands/boyfriends, parents, in-laws, you name it. This one woman had 5+ people with her. Now I know that I can make up in my mind how great it is to have all this family around and maybe they all don't get along, or the woman would rather be by herself.....not sure. But, I decided this time I wanted someone there w/ me.
I have to say......it was soooo nice. It's the first time I've had someone w/ me for a procedure i.e. in the room. It was like a rock in the corner and I could just know that I had support. Felt good.
It was kind of strange once the Dr. got the sample he had it under a microscope right there to see if he had what he needed. He did. They sent it off to the lab and I got a call today.....
The nurse said that the preliminary report was all positive i.e. they found no issues. However, the final report takes about another week, so I won't be fully celebrating or saying what the baby is until then.
This past week has been a rough one. I stopped taking the medicine for morning sickness because while it did help, it gave me an intolerable headache that ty.lenol would not control. It wasn't worth it. So, back to nothing. I also recently stopped all of my reproductive medicine (yippee), but I suspect the drop in those levels has contributed to how yucky I feel.
And, baby girl got sick.....again. Yesterday she woke up pretty fussy and didn't want her morning snack. That was odd, so at lunch I tried again and she pushed it away after a few bites. When we were walking out to car she hunched over, grabbed her belly, and started crying. Once we got home I gave her some water w/ a touch of pedia.lite. She continued to grab her belly and sure enough, when we were sitting in the chair she vomited all over me, her, the chair, the floor, everything. We went straight to the tub. Poor baby girl. It came through her nose which I know hurts.
We got all cleaned up, disinfected everything, threw in laundry.....she still was grabbing her belly. It is hard to contain a toddler who is used to going going....she didn't really want to lie down or sit still. And everytime she did that it upset her tummy. So, she was walking toward kitchen, grabbed her belly and vomited again. Oh that poor baby. I picked her up again and off to the tub we went again.
I was soooo hopeful that she wouldn't vomit again....there wouldnt be much left, and she looked so sick. And thankgoodness she didn't. However, throughout the day toward night she started getting a fever. I laid her down to bed at her normal time and she did fall right to sleep. However today she didn't want to eat hardly anything again.....and she got another fever. Have kept fluids in her, she likes the 'juice' since I've only given her plain water, so I'm not worried at all she will get dehydrated.
She just feels terrible. She also had some really messy diapers, so her system is just all troubled.
It is so stressful when she is sick. I am just so hyper-worried about her.
We are both a pair right now and yes, it is hard.
Had a lead on another nanny....it all looked great and then, she sprung on me yesterday via email that she didn't have a car. And, she just got her license. She is a college grad and guess she never needed it but really? She said she is planning to get one by summer, but being a new driver just may be a deal breaker.
