Not who you were expecting? Well let me explain. I've held off on introducing him to you because well,
I'M PREGNANT!
And the reason I have him is due to that. Posting about him or posting about how sick I've been would give away that tiny detail. :)
I am due April 3rd, I am 11 weeks today, and I have been more sick than I ever thought possible. I wasn't this bad with Luke, so this is kind of new to me.
This little guy is a zofran pump. It's basically a pump that controls a syringe full of zofran (anti-nausea medication) so that I get a constant supply of it 24/7. The pills weren't working their magic like they did with Luke's pregnancy, so this was the only option so I could avoid hospitalization/iv fluids. I've already had to get fluids 3 times with the pump, so without it, I would be much worse off. It's really not that bad except for having to poke myself every day. The sites where the catheter goes get pretty lumpy and sore, so I change it every day to a new spot. The good news is, I am getting better each day! I even took my pump off a couple days this week to test how bad I got, and it wasn't too bad. So I'm hoping it's gone for good soon.
We are going to Disneyland this weekend with my family, and I am going to bring the pump but not wear it and just see how I do.
Drew has been a saint through it all because I really haven't been able to do anything for myself or for Luke in the evenings. From 3 pm until bed time all I can do is lay on the couch and whine. My poor hubby and toddler. It's really hard to stay positive and see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I know it will pass and I will be so happy with the result. We couldn't be happier to be bringing another blessing into our lives! We will probably be able to get at least a good guess on gender in a couple weeks. Working at a perinatal office with expert sonographers helps when you're pregnant! ;)
Anyway, I have a lot of catching up and posting to do! And now that I'm feeling a little better, I plan on doing just that. Heres to getting better soon so I can celebrate how happy we are!
