Well, in the past 2 weeks, I've had some adventures.
We left for vacation on the 3rd. Apparently visiting the emergency room states away was in the plans, because that's what I did. I started with this constant urge to pee that Saturday night. It didn't hurt like a UTI, but was very annoying. I'd pee, and then 5 mins later be like I was ready to pee myself. When I'd get to the toilet, I'd barely pee. Still, no pain though. That went on all evening, and after bed. I woke up at 1am though with pain in my left side. It was too high to be uterus pain, but it still freaked me out. It was like nothing I ever felt before. Somehow, I went back to sleep till around 6:30, and it just continued to get worse from there. When the kids got up, we fed them breakfast, and I tried to eat. I couldn't eat or drink, and the constant urge was still there still, but at that point, I was not able to pee much and it was starting to hurt from having to go so bad. I suffered till around 8:30 when I finally told my husband that it was time to find an ER.
We got there by 9, and I was immediately taken back to a room. He could not come back with me since we had no one to help with the kids, so he camped out in the waiting room and entertained them while we both mentally freaked out.
They asked my pain level, which I growled was worse than I remember labor being. They gave me a cup to do the urine test, and told me to change into a gown. Somehow, I was able to go for that. And when I did, there were 3 little chunk things in it. Sorry that's gross, but the best way I can describe it. That pee hurt, but after that, I had to go again and peed for what felt like several minutes straight. After that, the pain level went down to barely anything. When they came back in, it was to start an IV and they gave me zofran for the nausea (which is still here pretty much daily) and they had offered morphine, which I declined. They were also going to put in a catheter, but since I was able to update that I peed and passed something, and was able to go just fine after, they said we could wait on that. They took 4 tubes of blood for I forget what, sent off that and the pee cultures, and an hour later took me for an u/s to check the baby and the kidney's. They were very involved with checking the baby, and ovaries and anything else they could while in there, and the radiologist came in special to see everything during the ultrasound and to reassure me that the heartbeat looked great and baby looked to be right on target. They did not let me see the screen though, and I was not given any pictures this time. Next was the fun of the kidney u/s, which was very uncomfortable and felt like they were pushing with the intent to break ribs. The results of that was the left kidney was swollen, but clear of stones.
3 hours later, the doctor came back to tell me that my urine had blood in it, definitely had tissue and possible stones, but ruled out a UTI. Also, he'd have to also do a pelvic exam to rule out any vaginal bleeding. After that, I was free to go.
Since passing whatever that was, I've been fine. My OB did not need to see me since I felt fine, did not have any negative reports from the hospital, and said to call if I feel the need to come in. At this point, I didn't see much point in going to do a repeat of what they did, and being unable to hear the baby anyway due to this stupid tilted uterus subject. I'm still scheduled for 3 weeks from now, and I think I can wait that out unless I have anymore weird issues come up.
So as of today, I'm a little over 12 weeks. The final week of the 1st trimester. I am so happy to see it going so quickly, and will feel a lot more comfortable once I can feel this kid moving around. I've decided that as much as I wanted to be at this point, I really dislike the early stages of pregnancy. I still feel really exhausted, nauseous, and now I have a cold/allergies to add to the mix. I feel like crap because I have not felt good enough to take my vitamins in over a week now. I've tried multiple kinds of prenatals, but have developed an awesome gag reflex to the size of the pills. I have tried flintstones like the midwife suggested, but can not stand the chalky taste and it's all I can do to choke down one of those. Today, I spent another $12 and decided I'll give gummies a try. I did find that I can deal with the kids gummies, but it takes 8 of those to get the required amount of folic acid and iron! And at that point, it causes stomach issues. So, here's to hoping that the gummie prenatals will do the trick. Hopefully at some point, I get back into the ability to swallow pills again and can take the others that I've invested so much into.

10 week appt
I am really starting to suck at these updates. This first trimester is flying by, and I really haven't kept much record of much of it.
Here's what's been going on....
Still feeling nauseous most days. I've found that if I eat quickly in the morning, snack by 10, lunch by 12, and keep going on the snacking every 2-3 hours, I can keep it semi under control. I don't take anything for it normal day to day, but if we have an overload of appts and stuff where I know that I stand a chance of getting too hungry feeling, that triggers the barfy feelings and I will take half of a zofran. The zofran does help a lot, and was the magic pill to be able to drink water again. But, on the days the nausea and gagging was exceptionally bad and I took 2 in 1 day, I would get a migraine. So, cutting in half and just being very careful about eating and drinking seems to be the answer. This time around, I've only thrown up 2 times. Both triggered by stressful situations. With Kristopher's pregnancy, I was horribly sick daily, vomitting multiple times and losing 18lbs before getting medication to help me through the days. My chart says I stopped meds at 26 weeks. I feel thankful that this time around it's less stressful, and that I can stop at the gagging.
I'm down about 10lb from March, prior to finding out. That was lost within the first week of finding out, and I think a lot of that has to do with the changing in what I drink. I was drinking a lot of coke prior to finding out, and now soda makes me feel worse. Plus, I'm only able to eat small amounts with the nausea. I have not gained any weight since the first appts, but no one is concerned. I have outgrown all my jeans, they can not be fully zipped and I've done the hair band trick for now to keep them up. I bought one pair of maternity jeans and they are pretty comfortable.
Monday I had my 10 week appt, which was technically the first appt at the OB. This is a new practice for me, so I'm going to see each of the doctors first, but am told that I really will have no choice in which one will deliver, so it's no point in picking a favorite I guess. This appt I had the midwife, and she is pretty nice. Since I was overdue for the breast exam fun, she did that. And then it's apparently standard procedure to do some STD swabs on new OB patients, so they did that. And, I'm told that now that I'm 30, they only do a pap every 3 years, so I'm good till next year on that. Then, she tried to get the heart beat by doppler, and was unable to find it. For a very brief second, she picked up very slight whooshing of a heartbeat but said it was so short of a catch of it that she didn't know if it was the baby or mine. She did an exam and determined that I have a very tilted uterus, and it was tipped back too far to get the heartbeat by doppler till the uterus grows some more and the baby is bigger. So, she left me in the room alone freaking out, still half naked in stirrups, while she searched down an ultrasound machine. 15 minutes later, she came back and did the belly u/s and detected the baby. It was very blurry that way, but I could tell that it has definitely doubled in size. I could see arms this time and it looked more like a baby than a blob. Because of how blurry it was, I couldn't truly make out the heartbeat, but she claims she saw it and was smiling and seemed satisfied. She made me touch the screen and directed me in which way to move my finger till I was over top the spot where she claims it was at. It was a little different coloring on the blur, so I'll trust them on that.
Since I've had multiple ultrasounds now, and my test results all come back perfect, she wrote down to come back in 5-6 weeks. That way by next time, the uterus should have grown enough to do the doppler check, and then I'll be more on schedule for their 4 week schedules. I go back June 3rd, and then every 4 weeks till August 26th, then I guess I'll start on the 2-3 week schedule. Yippie.
The big u/s will be around the first to 2nd week in July due to the holiday falling then, and we do plan to find out the sex if this kid will cooperate.
We're leaving on Friday for the beach for 5 days, and after that vacation is over, I'll gladly have the next month or 2 speed up some more. I think I'll start to feel better and more relaxed with this pregnancy once I can feel this kid moving. I was originally planning to buy my own doppler to listen to the heartbeat, but it seems by the time that will be possible, it will be about time that I'll feel it regularly so no point.

8 weeks
Well my updating sucks as usual.
I'm 8 weeks now. Last week we saw and heard the heart beat! It was 132bpm and so amazing to see/hear! I have an estimated due date of around 11/23/13.
We told the kids, because my nausea was still pretty severe. Kristopher was starting to freak out because of how little I was able to keep up with around the house, and was so worried about if I was going to bounce back and be ok. We told him first, and he had some anxiety about it. He's doing much better now and looking forward to our "new" family by the end of the year.
We told the other 2 the next day, and the following day I think every aide and teacher in the school knew because they quickly told everyone they could.
Friday I got a script for Zofran called in. I finally am starting to eat and drink a lot more. Especially drinking. That makes me feel much better because for 2 full weeks, I could barely drink or eat anything. I was living on pretzels and ginger ale. I still struggle to drink plain water, but found some other things that are not so overloaded with sugar that I can get down and stay hydrated. And I'm able to eat much better. Yesterday I did not take anything, and still managed to be able to eat and drink fine. Today though, I woke up feeling blah, and have already had to take a pill to be able to get over that. I hate taking something, but I need to be able to function around here.
Things to note for my memory of all this. I have pushed out of most of my jeans. I have one pair that is a bit bigger, but my favorites, can not be buttoned anymore. When they say you show faster with your 2nd, they aren't joking. I bought a few maternity shirts because between my boobs growing an entire cup size, and now the stomach, not much fit comfortably (or appropriately). I also bought a pair of maternity shorts, because we had a heat wave and none of my jean shorts fit. I forgot how comfortable maternity can be! Going to be living it up in my stretchy clothes this summer. :)
I had my first ob nurse consult. I lost 7lbs from the week before I found out. All lab work came back great, and they actually won't be doing another ultrasound now till 20 weeks. That part makes me sad because they are so reassuring to me to actually see it. I don't want things to rush too fast, but if we could fast forward to when I can feel movement, I'll feel a lot better.
That's about it on the pregnancy. Here's the 7 week scan....

Back again with a huge update!
I originally made this blog private, because I noticed some really disturbing information across the little tracker thing. I started a new blog, which if any followers on here would like that link, please leave me a comment and I'll get back in touch with the new link, just to prevent any other issues. I'm not sure if I'll continue here, or not. Depends on what happens next now that I'm public again.
Anyway, I'm back with a huge update. And I do know that it is April Fools Day, but this is very much NOT a joke.
Last Tuesday (March 27th), this happened:
And I started hyperventilating. Clearly, this was a HUGE shock. We had never used birth control during our entire marriage of going on 12 years. It took almost 3 years of trying to have Kristopher, and at least a year of treatments. Anyone who's read this blog for a while, will know about the studies and trials I took part of, and the extra treatments on my own as well. Nothing ever worked. We gave up trying, and was in the process of trying to decide if birth control was a good idea or not at this point in our lives (mostly for the fact of balancing out cycles) when this happened. My last period was in mid January. I had spotting for 2 days in Feb, near the end of the month. From the beginning of March, I had discovered that my boobs were very tender and had that progesterone increase type of feeling. I started to note that, because I wanted to be prepared for when that period hit. After several weeks, and no show, I started to worry. Boobs bumped up a cup size. I gained some weight which seemed odd because my activity level was up and eating was not. So anyway, I tested and the test line was there in less than a minute, very deep purple. I started shaking. I called my husband shrieking to try to explain what I just discovered. I wasn't upset, just so shocked because it's the last thing I actually expected. I have never seen a positive test without going through treatments. I did not know we could actually do it on our own! So, the next call was to my doctor. I haven't been there in almost 2 years, so I wasn't sure what to do next. They were awesome, and scheduled me for the very next day.
And I learned that I was 5-6 weeks. Pretty early. Ovulated from the right side, and it showed the giant spot in which it happened. The ultrasound only shows the sack and the little yokey blob. The doctor was very excited though and seemed very positive. And gave me 2 "first pictures".
I go back on April 9th, hoping to see a baby and heartbeat formed by that point. Then, they can give me a real due date. At this point, we're estimating between November 17th and the 27th. Thanksgiving baby.
So we told a few people, but are keeping it very quiet with most of the family, and especially the kids. I do not want to tell the kids, till we're sure everything is going ok. We're still planning to go through with this adoption, so our family really truly has taken a huge jump in size this year! Anyone who reads this from facebook. Do NOT comment anything to my page about this....definitely not coming out on there for a few months.
Symptom wise and how I'm feeling....Boobs still hurt. My belly is all bloated, and I don't like the feeling of my jeans against that. I do not like anything sweet at the moment. I have a cold and extreme coughing at night. I pulled something in my upper stomach last night from the intense coughing. I'm hoping that things are better tonight. I have been drinking a ton of water today and daytime has not been too bad. I'm trying so hard not to take anything for it, but was given the clear to take delsym if needed. I'm scared to though since this is so early and all the important stuff is still forming. I have extreme sense of smell and taste, dispite the cold. And today, nausea has been a struggle. I know that it's good signs, and trying to focus on the positive of that. I have already had a real wonderful shame moment. Today I was at M's therapist appt and had to excuse myself from the room because a coughing fit triggered gagging. I ran down the hallway to the bathroom, and proceeded to cough, then dry heave for like 10 mins, right in the bathroom attached to the waiting room. So when I come out, everyone is staring at me morified, I'm shaking like crazy and tears still from the gagging....Good times to look forward to I guess. If I can stick to nausea and avoid the vomitting this time around, I'll feel very good about that.
So, I really wanted to come back on here and share this news since so many of you had followed me during the trials and TTC journey before. If anyone is still out there reading, and wants the other link in case I have to close this down again due to spam, please let me know. I am really going to try like crazy to document every part of this new journey because the first time around I did not do so great with that. I want to remember all these details and do a better job this time around.

So busy
Things have been so busy around here. Our kids moved in on the 29th of January, and things have not calmed down since.
We have a girl who is 8, and a boy who is 6. They are with us with the intent to adopt, and parental rights are being terminated by May. The "rule" is that we have to foster for at least 6 months before we could schedule the adoption hearing. I was told today that we are looking at July-August before they would become officially ours. The goal would be to have it happen over the summer break so they could start the new school year adopted and with their new last names. Pretty exciting and I know that every single one of us is on the same page and wants to see that happen.
The birth mom has requested to meet us, and may actually sign off rights instead of have them terminated by the courts if she feels more comfortable with us than she did at their last home. Things were pretty bad at the last foster home, to the point that the agency has decided to drop them. CYS has also been notified and these people will not be allowed to foster ever again. They are lucky their own children are not removed from their home. But enough on that.
Both kids have ADHD, and I now have all 3 established in therapy. We've been having some struggles with K for some time, and I finally had his big evaluation on Monday. We have a few more appts this month before getting a formal diagnosis, but it appears that he has clinical anxiety, and also asperger's syndrome. Possibly some ADHD in there as well. Things got pretty bad with his anxiety in the past few months, that we had to put him on medication to help with that. It really does seem to help him, but it's kind of soon to know for sure. I don't know 100% that it's the med, or the fact that he believes that it will "take all his worries away". Either way, we're starting to get better sleep and he's doing better. Next week he has an evaluation with a feeding clinic to meet with a dietitian that will go over pretty much how the entire digestion system works, how what you eat effects your body, etc. Also to discuss some sensory issues with food that we've discovered over the past year or so.
So between getting the new kids established, Kristopher's appts and life in general, we've been pretty busy and I've been spending less and less time actually on the computer. I still check other's blogs through my phone while sitting in the said appts waiting rooms, but commenting has taken to the back burner for now.
And back to the kids....The girl has already started calling us mom & dad because she desperately wants to be apart of a real family and to be ours forever (her words) and within a week had started it. The boy is mixed and a little more guarded because it's a little confusing to him and he's moved a lot with being so young. It's pretty cool though when they get excited about something the way K does and gives us a giant hug and calls us mom or dad. :)
I'm in a much better place mentally now and love our new family. I promise to update more because I know I want to look back on this experience later and remember all the early details. I actually miss the blogging and even if no one is still around to check in, it is an awesome journal of the entire experience. Plus I want if anyone out there comes across this, to hopefully be of some support and to know that you are not alone out there.....Anyway, better run. Just wanted to finally update. :)

It's pretty cool though when they get excited about something the way K does and gives us a giant hug and calls us mom or dad. :)
I'm in a much better place mentally now and love our new family. I promise to update more because I know I want to look back on this experience later and remember all the early details. I actually miss the blogging and even if no one is still around to check in, it is an awesome journal of the entire experience. Plus I want if anyone out there comes across this, to hopefully be of some support and to know that you are not alone out there.....Anyway, better run. Just wanted to finally update. :)
