On Monday I had my 20 week ultrasound that confirmed we are having a GIRL! We are beyond excited for our new addition to arrive. My due date is May 2nd but they schedule C-Sections for a week before the due date. I'm still not feeling 100% but this pregnancy has been significantly easier by in large part due to the miracle drug-Zofran. (aka the happy pill) With my pregnancy with Colton I was too paranoid and stressed to take any nausea medicine. I suffered for so long and vomited so much that I lost over 8 pounds in the first trimester. It was a nightmare. This time around, after suffering for about a week and not being able to take care of Colton, I knew I needed to try something. I was desperate and emotional because I knew that it was going to last for a long time like my first pregnancy. My friend Stephanie offered me a few Zofran to try it out and hold me over until my prenatal appointment where I could get a prescription. It saved my life. For about a week I had been curled in bed, eyes shut, with a barf bucket at my side, hardly holding anything down. Within 3o minutes of taking the pill, I was opening my eyes and the nausea became bearable. My body was less tense and I could relax a little bit. I still felt sick, but it was at a bearable level. I could do the minimum of atleast feeding Colton and changing diapers. It was still very difficult and I felt so helpless. Most of all it was emotional and hard not to be able to give Colton the attention I wanted to. It broke my heart. The medicine was truly a blessing and it helped so much. It was much easier to get through the worst of it since I was able to hold food down most of the time. I vomited atleast 75% less with the medicine. I'm still waiting for my normal energy to return, last time it came back around 5 1/2 months so I imagine I only have a few more weeks. Pregnancy is rough for me. I strongly dislike being pregnant. I know the end result is amazing and I have to remember to think positive. I am so excited for this baby girl, and I already have a deep love for her. We have a couple names that we are thinking of. So far the top name is Ryley Jane. We'll see!Wednesday, December 15, 2010
