Second Appointment

I went in for my second appointment today. Lorraine and Papas met me there and of course Papas pooped as soon as we got inside and Lorraine didn't have her diaper bag so she went back to the car. :) This time they called my name right away, I was late... well more on time. Haha They ask you come in 15 minutes early and I was there right at 10am. For those who don't know you're suppose to leave a urine sample every time you go in. I seriously have issues peeing on command. I asked the nurse if I could try before I left and she said that was perfectly fine. Sorry if that is too much info. LOL!

The nurse tried to find the heartbeat and after a few minutes she couldn't find it. She told me Dr. Brown would probably try too. Lorraine said Dr. Brown has a way with finding that kind of stuff. Always easing the mood for me. I love her. Dr. Brown ended up trying and he couldn't find it either. Now I was a little worried but kept thinking baby has to be fine I feel awful right now. Dr. Brown didn't seem alarmed so asked if I had any questions. Lorraine and I asked about deli meats/cheese. I've heard its bad and I've heard it's ok. Good thing I really don't want deli anything. The thought of turkey and just a sandwich makes me wanna puke! He said package stuff is probably my best bet because that stuff normally stays good for months in your fridge. Then I asked some other questions like about painting and dying my hair. My low-lights are growing out bad and I need just one solid color for now. All that was approved as long as it's ventilated well. Nice :D

Dr. Brown takes me into the ultrasound room to see if the ultrasound can pick up babies heart beat. Well, it did. :) Very excited about that. Babies heart rate went up from 140 to 170. I was happy I got more pictures of the baby today too. Last time I only got one and had the ask the lady. Today was somewhat emotional for me seeing the baby. I'm not sure what it was but the baby looks more like a baby and less bloby. Kind of looks like a yummy gummy bear. LOL I didn't cry though. I teased Lorraine a lot when she was pregnant with Benjamin and so I pull the tough card so she doesn't pick on me. I know I will eventually pay for it. :) I've already paid for the nausea... I kept telling Lorraine why are you so lame? Now she gets to say I'm lame. Don't think she wont try and sneak it in around every person she can. I just shake my head and give her the look, you're lucky I love you so much or I'd slap you. Haha

This week baby switched up the morning sickness on me. I went from mornings to sometimes all day but mostly mornings. This week its been around 5pm till bedtime. The other night I was too late taking an anti-nausea/throw-up pill, as soon as I laid down I was back up in 5 minutes to run to the bathroom. Perfect. Ugh. The night sickness has worked in my favor because I started working at Oxford Monday and I've been doing the 7am shift. It was somewhat rough waking up so early but it was great I didn't feel awful getting ready and while I'm at work. I've been a little nauseas at work but not too bad. Normally it means I need to eat a second breakfast. Yes a second breakfast. I eat at 5:30am and will eat again around 9am. Then I think my body was all freaked out because I got to sleep in today and I didn't eat till 9am. My body has made me pay for that all day. Let's hope it goes back to just nights because next week I work four 7am shifts and I want to feel good since I'll be on my feet for 8 hours. Everybody pray for night sickness for next week or none. :D Thanks!



Justin and I will be walking Bloomsday this weekend. It's our first one ever! It's over 7 miles. We were both going to run/jog it this year. But then I found out I was pregnant and that kinda changed my plans. I've never been a big runner so I'm not suppose to do anything hardcore like that if I haven't already been doing it. I still figure it shouldn't take too long if I keep a good pace. I have a feeling Daddy Long Legs (Justin) will leave me in the dust. I'm okay if I have to walk alone. :) Justin is so quick when he walks so I know it will be hard for him to stick around when I have smaller legs then him. Haha Anyways we're excited to do it.

We hope everyone has a great rest of their week and awesome weekend!

Love, The Emerson Family :)
