9 weeks 3 days

05/29/09

We’re back from vacation!!!

I feel like my nausea and vomiting is getting worse and worse instead of getting better!!! I cant wait for the next three weeks to fly so I can be past the first trimester.
From what I’ve been reading (and is A LOT!), the second trimester is the easiest from all three. You regain your energy, morning sickness goes away, and you can FINALLY know if you’re having a boy or girl or both ;).

The day after we came back was Memorial day (May 25th, 2009) and we decided to go to the hospital and try to find a doctor to my regular doctor. But the out patient clinic was closed so they suggested to go to the emergency room. I’ve been having a little pain on my side, so I said “what the hell, we’re already here. Maybe they can do an ultrasound and I can hear my baby’s heartbeat”. After 2 hours we were done and the doctor had done an ultra sound but he didn’t put the sound on. He said that the pain is just the uterus expanding and that the baby looked fine. He had inserted this LLLOOONNGGG rod with a HUGE condom into my vajajay. That HURT like crazy!! OMG!! How can they do that to a pregnant woman!!??. But at least I know that my baby is ok. Now I have to call the clinic and make an appointment to see a doctor and do another ultrasound and FINALLY hear my baby’s heartbeat!!! I want to see that picture so bad!!!
Also, the doctor said I was 8 weeks 6 days on Monday, so today I am 9 weeks 3 days.

When I come to work in the mornings is like a punishment…I find that the hallway smells and it makes me gag. I have to literally either run to the office, cover my nose or hold my breath. Those 10 steps seem to go on forever!!!...funny thing is that no one can smell what I smell…
And when I go to the bathroom is worse!! I throw up almost all the time I go in there!!!...Now I am carrying this body mist with me. I would spray it before going in, then breathe!!!...this has been the only way I can use the bathroom!! Crazy!!!

Vacation was WONDERFUL!!! Other than throwing up the first days, it was the most fun I’ve ever had in my life. We went to Grand Turk (where we went snorkeling), Half Moon Cay (where you will see the clearest water ever!! I mean I was up to my neck and was able to see my feet!!) and Nassau (a great place to shop and it looks just like D.R!!).

I started participating in this blog/chat room for pregnant ladies…is the one from the What to expect book. Those ladies are a TRIP and very helpful. I even have “belly buddies” hahaha and I just joined yesterday!! I belong to the group called “due in December 2009”. I even met someone who has the same pain the butt I have now. She said hers was very severe with her first son! Wow! I hope mine is not that bad!!

Ps. I can't forget to mention that today is my LOVELY sister's birthday, which I love like a daughter!! Happy Bday sister!! today you are a teenager!!! OMG time flies!! It feelsl ike yesterday I was in 7th grade waiting for the bell to ring so I can go to the hospital and meet my sister...brings tears to my eyes!! :)...she was 21 inches and 9 1/2 pounds...born at 2:41pm. I love that girl!!

Ok, so until next week!!

Symptoms: STILL nausea and vomiting, Pain in the butt (sciatic nerve)..HUNGRY all the time…a few mood swings here and there…breasts are back to being sore.
