Today I had my follow up appointment and guess what?! NO BACTERIA yessss! Now I'm doing well and you know what I haven't burped up that ulgy taste in about 3 days *knock on wood* I think I figured out the problem..my prenatal vitamins I took it and about 5 minutes later I burped up and it finally clicked, its the vitamins!

So I have been going to work this past week and am doing quite well I mean I still get nauseous but its not as bad as it was before.


Well anyways, back to the appointment the ultrasound machine wasn't working very well today it actually kept messing up so the doctor wasn't able to do any measurements or print pictures but thank God I had my camera phone with me so I snapped two pictures and a video of the baby's heartbeat♥

I will be going back in a month for my next visit unless I have any problems and lets hope I don't! It's just sad to think I have to wait a whole month again to see the baby! =[

Update

Hello all! I haven't been on to update in awhile so here are the events that have occurred

• I have been given "time off" of work till I feel better
• I re-did my blood cultures to see if any changes
• I haven't had an ultrasound in a week and a half
  
• I haven't been feeling so nauseous as before yippee!

I will be having a follow up appointment on Wednesday to see if my blood still has bacteria (hopefully everything is alright). I will be 10 weeks and 3 days by the time I have my next appointment and ultrasound! Isidro will be going with me for the first time to a doctors visit =]


Since I have time off of work I've been snooping online and looking at cribs and baby stuff that I would like so here are a few things that I finally have settled on 1 the crib and 2 the changing station we're not quite sure on the bedding yet but I like the one on the very last pic its kind of cute for a boy I need to do a little more shopping before I actually buy something.

P.S.
*I also just wanted to throw this in as a random note: My older sister Angela used to eat Tomatoes and Cream Cheese when she stayed with us and for some odd reason or another I have been craving it like a maniac since 2 days ago I have eaten 4 sandwiches =]

3D

Oh boy! Today Dr. Barnes was getting trained on how to do 3D ultrasounds on our new machine and he asked me if I would like to see the baby! I said, "YES PLEASE!" I cried when I saw the baby its so tiny and cute! You can see the little arm buds and leg buds forming :) and I just love hearing the baby's heartbeat♥ Isn't it amazing to have a baby? I'm excited even though I'm sick all day everyday *lol*

Well here you go..another picture of the baby gosh I feel spoiled :)

Reflux

Today I saw the GI Doctor..for about five minutes! *lol* I swear that man was in and out like nobody's business. He basically said that I'm just having Reflux and that it's worse due to the pregnancy (maybe I had it before?) now I have more medicine to take. He also said that he isn't too worried about me having a pouch of food stuck because I'm not vomiting undigested food. So basically that's all, drove two hours for a five minute visit and I mean at least I know its nothing to worry about.

So after that we decided to make a day out of it (might as well) so we went shopping for our home :) I should be following up with Dr. Barnes soon this week..I'll keep you updated!

Hospital

Okay, I have had the longest weekend EVER. I was admitted to the hospital for the first time in my life. On Friday morning I woke up feeling sick so I called in to work..then I get a phone call around 12 pm from the office saying I need to go to the hospital. So I went not knowing what was going on.

Well the doctor came and told me that I had bacteria in my blood that could harm the baby! So I was going to have to be in the hospital from Friday till Sunday (today) I was so nervous and scared for the baby but everything seems to be alright still :)

Let me tell you the terrible part..I HATE NEEDLES and sure enough they had trouble getting my IV started it took them three tries! My nurse missed the first time so then they called "the best guy" who missed on the first try and said "WOW, I have not missed in 10 years!" he then finally got it on my right hand. And guess what I got my blood drawn two times and they didn't miss! YIPEEE!

So the doctor came today and I told him that I hadn't been burping up anything or feeling too sick and he said that I could come home I was so happy. I need to say this though my nurses were the best and were so nice to me :) I made sure to tell them thanks when I left.

Tomorrow I will be driving up to San Antonio to go see the GI doctor and hopefully the meds have cleared it up. I'll post tomorrow with the result.

Sigh

Today I went in for my follow up only to get bad news. My test came out positive for bacteria that causes ulcers :( Now for sure I have to go see a specialist that is willing to see a pregnant woman. On top of that..they're unsure if I should be working full time now and should only go into work when I feel good. Yeah, that might sound like its a good thing but its not when your trying to save up for a baby.

Eeesh right now I'm not in the greatest of moods but I have to take it as it comes and hope that everything will work itself out. At least the baby is doing well, I had another ultrasound done and the baby is growing well and guess what? Baby's heartbeat was at 154 today! I got a couple of pictures for you. If you look close you can see that it says "yolk sac" and "baby" :)

Well I'm going to go now and try to eat some food.
