And…we're back. Rather than bore you with lots of details of the last few weeks, I'll give you this link: hyperemesis. At my 12 week appointment a few weeks ago the baby was doing great, strong heart beat and moving all around and the sch had cleared up. I, however, had lost a lot of weight since I couldn't keep down anything and was having fainting spells due to the above. Anyhow, I was started on meds and I'm just now getting to where I'm able to get out of bed. The great news is that I've gained the weight back plus some so I'm hoping that next week's appointment is even better.
And by gained weight, I mean that yesterday morning I got in Jeff's car and the passenger airbag light went off for the first time ever.
I really wanted to take belly photos every week but that wasn't possible with the whole unable-to-move thing I had going on. I had one decent day last week so I put on some real clothes and got a 14 week photo. I did not, however, muster up the energy for things such as hair and lipstick. Hence why my hair looks like it was caught in paper shredder.
So my goal this week is to catch up. I have over 2000 unread emails y'all. I feel like I'm in one of those movies like While You Were Sleeping. Especially because the Phenergan makes you sleep for like, 14 hours straight every day and your husband has to wake you up to make you eat and you can't even remember that happening. It's like I've just been totally out of it for the past 2 months and then I wake up and everything I've missed is really overwhelming, like "oh hai your sister is getting married in thirty days."
I'm really looking forward getting back into life and work and lls and blogging. Specifically so that I can tell you things like about how when I was coming home from my last doctor's appointment, I drove by a man mowing his lawn wearing nothing but a pair of tightie whities and crocs. That can't be legal.
