13 weeks and another rant

There are so many words for vomit. There's throw-up, hurl, up-chuck. I tend to say puke a lot and in high school, we thought it was super funny to call it ralph. Whatever anyone calls it, I better be down with it. My last puke was Friday, a full two weeks after what I had hoped was my last one. Foolish me was thinking that when I turned 12 weeks, I was going to feel completely better and never feel queasy again the rest of this pregnancy. But that is so not the case. I've been feeling nauseous everyday since Wednesday again, threw-up on Friday and still woke up queasy today at 13 weeks and 1 day. AHHHHHHHHHH, I am so over this!



And I'm still spotting. Not bleeding, but still spotting. I know the baby is okay, but it's still a bit nerve-wrecking.



I am still so amazed how different my pregnancies have been. I loved being pregnant with Adia, it was pretty uneventful. This has been anything but that. But, I am still so thankful I get to go through this because whatever I have to endure will be worth it when our new little one is here.



To end this rant, here is my 13 week belly pic:

A good/decent Dr. appt.

So I went in for another appt. today. It was shorter than I thought it would be, but it went well.

I thought they were going to do another ultrasound to check on the tear, but they just listened for the heartbeat on the Doppler. Which we found and was 171 bpm!! Dr. said that since there isn't anything they can do about the tear and they heard a good, strong heart rate, they won't do another ultrasound until my big one, in 8 weeks.

I am glad they didn't do an internal ultrasound because that really made things worse last time, but I guess I was kind of hoping they would try to do a regular one. But, it was great to hear the babies heartbeat and besides a short episode this past Sunday, the bleeding has mainly been just spotting.

Also, I have gained about 4.5 lbs total so far. And that's good because I started a little underweight due to being sick. I'm surprised it wasn't more though because I have been eating a lot lately. But I'll take it.

Finally!

I am a little late in writing this, but I am pregnant again! The due date is September 4th, which puts me at 10 weeks, 5 days.
I was so very surprised when I saw the positive pregnancy test. I had finally given it all over to God and was really okay with the idea of not having more children, if that was His will for us.
I took the test because I was spotting but no actual period and I was feeling kind of sick that morning. I was completely expecting to see nothing, inspect if for about 5 more minutes to see if I could see the faintest of faint lines then throw it away like I've done every other time. But when I went to look at it this time, I was totally blown away. I started laughing and crying at the same time.
I was going to think I some neat way to tell Jason, but was so shocked that I just called him at work and told him. We both were so not expecting it, but here we are!

And now for the not-so-great news. I have a subchorionic hemorrhage that is caused by the baby's sack partially separating from my uterus. It is something that isn't completely uncommon and a lot of times will heal itself, usually by 20 weeks. So we are praying for that! What's really hard is that I can't do very much. A normal day before is too much now and can start the bleeding again. So I've been spending a lot of time in my bed and it's starting to get old. But, I will stay here my entire pregnancy if I need to for this baby.

Well, that's my latest update!
