So it's been about 5 weeks since I first started this thing. I've just been so sick that I haven't felt like writing anything. I'm still super sick, but I figure I should update.
On Saturday (5th) I had to go to the ER. I was having really bad cramps and I kinda figured I had a bladder infection. Well, when I was doubled over on my bedroom floor in tears because the cramps hurt so bad, I thought the worst. I was only about 11 weeks along when I miscarried in 2007. I was terrified I was gonna lose my Goober. Thank God I am still pregnant and Goober is doing just fine. I kind of got to see my little one, but barely. The reason being barely: 1-I didn't have my glasses and 2-the screen wasn't turned towards me. I also didn't get to hear the heartbeat but the doctor said Goober had a nice strong heartbeat. I was so upset and hurt that I wasn't able to see my little one or hear the heartbeat, but I thought 'If I could get a picture, I'd be alright.' Well guess what, the nurse told me they don't have the right equipment to print off pictures. Now I could have understood that, BUT I saw the pictures the ultrasound tech printed off for the doctor to see. I was livid.
I ended up only having a UTI, which has all but gone away thanks to the meds. I thank God everyday He protects my little one and keeps Goober safe within my womb.
Like I said at the beginning, morning sickness has hit and it hit me hard. I have no appetite at all and when I do eat I end up throwing up about 2-3 hours later. Gerb. I don't know what to do. I don't like the fact that I'm losing so much weight and I doubt my doctor will either. I know the WIC office won't be happy and will recommend I see the dietitian. It won't do any good. I'm just too sick to gain weight.
I started school today. My art class seems like it's going to be a lot of fun. I just have a lot of supplies to buy. The bathroom is like 2 doors down from my classroom so if I do need to throw up I don't have that far to go. My instrutor seems nice; down to earth and has a sense of humor. She made a little joke when I told her I was pregnant and that there might be days that I have the need to puke at school. I already have homework, but it seems pretty easy. I just need to get started on it. One part is due on Monday and one part is due on Wednesday. I hope I don't miss too much class because of being pregnant.
FYI: Found out exactly how far along I am. When I went to the ER Goober was measuring at 10 weeks 3 days so my due date is still Noah's birthday.
Mom says she hopes if I go early that I have Goober on March 18th, not because it's Mom and Dad's anniversery, but because it was MeMaw and PawPaw's. I wouldn't mind having Goober early, but I would prefer not to have Goober on Noah's birthday. That would suck. It wouldn't be fair to Noah or to my little one.
The name of my little one has already been decided. If I have a girl, her name will be Ellasyn Virgina Caviness. Virgina was my MeMaw's middle name and Ellasyn is a name I came up with. If I have a boy, he'll be named after my daddy, James Cleveland Caviness III. Daddy's name should have been carried on by TJ, but he has told the family that he won't have any kids. I know it means a lot to my daddy to have the name carried on.
If you're wondering about when I get married again in the far future, then this should kind of clear some questions up. I am keeping my last name. FOREVER. I didn't change my last name when I got married in 2006, I'm not gonna change it in the future. My last name is unique and my family means the world to me. I will die a Caviness, hence the reason the baby is having my last name. Especially if I have a boy. This way my dad will know one of his kids has kids to carry on the family name. Sure I have lots of male cousins on my dad's side of the family that are carrying on the last name, but they're not the children of James Cleveland Caviness II. I know it means so much to my daddy.
Anywho, I really can't think of anything more to write, but I'll update again soon so keep an eye out for it.
