That evening we got home at about 8p. I fell asleep on the couch and then put the kids to bed at 9:30p. I pretty much went to bed right away and forgot to take my meds...very BIG mistake. Continue reading to find out why...

Strawberry Picking - Friday
On Friday we joined our twin group at a local strawberry field and picked strawberries. S had a blast. Strawberries are his favorite food so the thought of actually going somewhere where there was an unlimited supply of them coming out of the ground got him quite excited. K also enjoyed picking them, but since her diet is completely void of fruits, as soon as her basket was full, she quickly turned them over to her brother.

Ugh...
So sick...trying not to think about it...but it's not working very well. I take Zofran as soon as I wake up, but because that's so damn early when I work, by dinner it is wearing off. I don't think it helps that I sit here terrified that this will continue until December. That this will be a repeat of the twins and that I will be more miserable then not in the coming months. But again...I'm trying not to think about it.
I told my Director and Assistant Director today at work. My Assistant Director is also a good friend of mine. She was very happy for me, but also a little concerned. She was a great support during the twins pregnancy and she also worries about what this pregnancy will bring. My Director had a huge reaction, which was hilarious. She was beyond happy and excited for me. They were both surprised I kept it quiet for so long and also shocked that I haven't told my good friends on the unit. I told them my friends would probably know next week and that I would make a general announcement around 12 weeks.
I ordered my new mother's pendant for Mother's Day. It is a pendant of a Mother holding her three children. There are also birthstones for each child. I am really looking forward to getting it.

There is a party at work tomorrow for Nurses Day. I baked cookies with the twins. Hopefully things will go smoothly tomorrow.

A Good Appointment
I had my ultrasound this morning. As suspected there is only one little bean. The heart rate was 142 and it measured 6w6d. The doctor was happy with the way everything looked. They did find a fibroid which no one has mentioned before. There was only one so thats good, but of course it might be something that becomes a problem later. Hopefully the pregnancy won't make it worse as I've heard it sometimes can.
I will upload pics later tonight when I can get them on the scanner.

Had My First Appointment Today
Very boring. A little blood drawn and a chat with the doc. Found out that after I went through all the trouble to switch to him, he is moving in July - bummer. Now I need to find another doc...which is extremely hard for me to do.
We decided that I will continue to take my anti-depressants and my MS meds. He feels like both are minimal risk and the benefit out ways any potential problems. He gave me my coveted Zofran prescription, however, just like last time my insurance only pays for 21 tabs, so I guess I can only feel better for part of the day on 21 days out of the month.
He also said ok to and US but there were no spots open today. I was able to snag a 10:30a tomorrow though, so not too much more of a wait. I of course will be sure to update this blog when I know the results.
I'm looking for one healthy bean measuring where it should. Here's to that!

Everyone is Sick
Ugh...over the course of two or three days, everyone in this house has become sick...
Of course my sickness has nothing to do with any virus but man am I wiped out. The nausea is getting bad. Pretty much 24/7 now. I just feel like throwing up all the time. I think I am doing better at managing it this time. Last time I would just stay in bed all day and do nothing...leading of course to dehydration and hospital stays. Now I am doing better at forcing fluids and food. As of now, thats been working.
N and S have the flu. S has had a nasty cough and high fever since Saturday. I guess if it lasts much longer we will be making a trip to the doctor. The only thing that keeps me from worrying about it now is he is eating and drinking normally and his fever responds right away to meds. N is the same way...so for now we wait it out.
K woke up this morning and threw up all over herself. She then threw up a few more times, but then seemed fine. She hasn't vomited since about 10a and she has eaten and drank since then so hopefully she had a quick passing thing.
I am too worn out to be dealing with all these sick people...everyone needs to get better!

A Busy Weekend
On Friday my parents came to spend the night. We decided that since my schedule was pretty booked, we were going to go ahead with Mother's Day and my mom's birthday celebration. We went out to dinner, came home and opened presents. It was a lot of fun.
Saturday my dad took down the rest of my dead trees and stumps. The twins were so cute trying to help grandpa haul away the cut logs. They did figure out awful fast that they could roll the logs to the side and had a blast doing that. My mom and I power washed the front porch and back deck. Now I just need to find the time and energy to re-stain them.
Saturday night I went to that fun concert with a friend. I did recognize some of the songs, but sadly most songs were new to me. It was just funny to see how well everyone knew all his lyrics and I hadn't heard any of them...I am soooo out of touch.
Sunday was mostly spent lounging around. We went grocery shopping with a quick trip to Walmart. Otherwise we hung out inside and didn't do much.

Just Checking In
It's been a very busy few days and I promise I will catch up with my posts tomorrow. I didn't want anyone to think I had fallen off the face of the earth.
My pregnancy is going fine as far as I know. I am experiencing a little more nausea and still very tired. My mom was over this weekend and actually asked me if I was pregnant. I hid the nausea from her quite well but she said I was a little too tired this weekend and something must be up. Geez it's like I can't hide a damn thing from her. I told her I wasn't pregnant and she seemed happy with that response, but I now have an email in my inbox from her asking me again. I wonder how I will explain myself out of this one.
S is sick. He woke up on Friday with a congested cold and then started running fevers that evening. He was pitiful today and I was really getting nervous about him. Luckily after a few medication doses he seems to be feeling a little better. I guess tomorrow will tell, although I'm sure by then, K will be sick.
I escaped being a mommy tonight for a little while and went to a concert. I haven't been to a concert since 1999 and that was Brittney Spears. This one was very entertaining and although I didn't know the artist (who is very famous) I did enjoy his show.
There are certain things that are bugging me right now that shouldn't be. People who obviously have issues of their own and placing them on me or another inappropriate person. People who can't seem to understand that people have differing points of view and if I disagree with what's being said then it must be a personal attack on them. I guess I just need to ignore those people as I have much better things to focus on other then their lack of self esteem and maturity.
I'll post tomorrow with updates on our activities.
