Ahh, the quiet

I'm not feeling so great, pretty queasy, and I'm having a hard time eating very much. I know I need to eat properly for Nugget but for now toast and a cherry popsicle will have to do. What do you ladies eat/drink to be sure you're getting enough vitamins and nutrients when you have bad food aversions?

Today has been very peaceful without Reilly. Don't get me wrong, I miss her terribly, but man do I love the quiet :D Jimmy and I just took a very nice nap. It's about 100 degrees outside today so we're just vegging inside in the AC.

Here is a picture of Jimmy and Reilly when I woke them up yesterday morning to take Reilly to her new home. I'm going to miss the cuteness of these two...

The good, the awesome and the gross.

First off the awesome...we have a heartbeat!!!! I was almost in tears and my Mom actually was. The little nugget is growing at the perfect rate. Phew. I go back Thursday and that may be my "graduation day"...God willing.

The good...I don't have to do PIO shots anymore!!!!!!!!! Woo-hoo!!!!! Now, this is "good" and not "awesome" because this means I have to switch to the suppositories which some of you know are pretty icky. Better than the shots, but still not a walk in the park. I would shine my RE's shoes if he told me I could do the pills. Sigh.

The gross...I puked this morning while brushing my teeth. My Mom and Ed said it was from Nugget but I swear it's from my nerves. LOL. It was awful. Not only was puking part gross, but then I had a mouthful of toothpaste. Oh my, I'm making myself gag just thinking about it. That's all I have to say about that.

Well, have a great weekend and thank you all for carrying me through another stressful week!!!

Oh, and Reilly goes to her new home on Sunday. I know I'll cry but I will be glad to start getting some decent sleep (she likes to sleep ON me!).

Just wanted to share...

Here are Jimmy and Reilly on my back deck soaking up the sun (Jimmy's the big one). After I stopped bugging them with the camera, they put their heads down and fell right to sleep. They love to "spoon".



You ladies pulled me through last week so I'm calling on your powers again. Please say prayers and send good vibes that we see a nice strong heartbeat tomorrow. It's so scary to think that once again my world can change forever during that u/s. Hopefully it's for the better.

Cheers and Jeers all wrapped in one.

We found our foster dog, Reilly, a new "forever home". While I'm thrilled that her new home seems so perfect, I am so gonna miss her.

This was our second time fostering her and I thought for sure she was a keeper this time. But the little bugger likes to climb over our fence. I would be devastated if she got out and either lost or hit by a car, so I know it's best for her to go somewhere safer. Her new home has a 6-foot privacy fence so there is no way this little girl can escape that yard! Our post-and-rail fence (with wire meshing) just lost the battle with her. LOL.

The new family has another dog and a young daughter to play with so I know she'll have lots of fun. I've spoken quite a bit to the wife and she's so excited about getting Reilly. She's cute as a button so I know they'll fall in love with her just as quickly as I have.

I think Jimmy will be glad to see her go. He's loved playing with her, but I think he wants my and Ed's attention all to himself again.

In baby news, I go this Friday for another u/s and I'm praying constantly that I see the heartbeat. I've had moments of queasiness, but no steady m/s or anything. I'm hoping if all is ok with the baby, that my RE will let me stop my PIO injections and switch to either the pills or supps. That would be music to my ears!

Dear my insurance company: BITE ME.

I got a letter in the mail today from my insurance company stating that effective July 1, 2008 my OB/GYN and RE will not be covered under my plan anymore. They are dropping their practices completely because they charge too much.

I'm kind of ok with the RE being dropped. God willing, things continue to go well and I will only have to see him unil mid-June anyway. But I would have assumed I'd use him again if we decided to try for another child down the line.

But my regular OB/GYN...I love her. I adore her. She's great. She was very aggressive with me seeing an RE after only 6 months of TTC and dx'ing myself with LPD. Most drs make you wait the standard 12 months; plus they usually dismiss LPD. I would have gone batty if she made me wait that long.

How do I go about finding a new OB now that I'm already 7+ weeks pregnant? I guess it should be easy enough, but this new dr won't know about my struggles. Will he/she be as compassionate as my old dr? Will he/she "get it" when I beg for weekly check-ups during the first trimester? I'm sure they've heard it all before, but it's probably from patients they're familiar with and not just some newbie strolling in off the streets.

This is just something I never saw coming and would never have guessed that I'd have to worry about.

I won.

Ed made me a toaster strudel yesterday morning :D

I asked for one, he gave me a sour look, I said "Nugget wants it" and he smirked and went off to the kitchen to make me one.

It was delicious. I was two seconds away from licking the icing off my plate ;)
