At least I believe it was the salad, I don't know what else made me so sick. Friday afternoon at work we were very busy, delivering hams and turkeys to the staff etc and doing fun HR things. Well, I started feeling queasy and nauseous. I left work about 20 minutes early, and soon after I was home I felt like I was dying!
To top off having a stomach bug my lower back has been really hurting (the ligaments are moving) so I've just been a joy to be around lately! Now I have a soar throat and headache too! I always thought getting a flu like this would be great for weight loss (when I wasn't pregnant) but forget that... I want to eat but can't eat much. Thankfully George has been the best and has rubbed my neck, and feet everyday! He is so great, and knows what its like to be sick. I really wanted some french fries today so he went and got me some! McDonald's fries.... good man...
On a brighter note I am trying to speed up this sickness because I get to pick up Kelly from the airport tomorrow at 2:10 pm and I am thrilled! I only get to see her a couple times a year, so its really special when we get to spend time together! Hopefully I can make it an hour to PDX without the need of a bathroom! I just can't wait to see her!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next Tuesday L-Dogg will be in Portland also so as you can see, this is a big week! Friend galore! On Christmas Eve we are hanging with the Boock's too. So, I get to see all three of my fabulous friends in about a week of each other! The last time this happened was my wedding (they were all my bridesmaids!) so I am thrilled for this week to begin! YAY! YAY! YAY!
This past week I had a Dr. appointment and had my blood test for any chromosome defects and abdominal wall defects etc. The needle in the arm wasn't so pleasant, as it never is for me!! But this time the lady had to try three times in my arm before it worked. Ouch! I was a 'big girl' though and got through it by myself. Unbelievable that at 26 years old I gave blood alone (my mom is always with me, or George). I felt like I graduated!
Also, the baby's heartbeat was ''perfect'' according to my Dr. and so far so good with everything as far as we can tell. I'm even gaining PLENTY of weight they said.... so, yea. Keeping the baby safe inside for sure :) On January 10th we have our ultrasound to measure the kiddo and find out the gender. I cannot wait for that appointment!! Girl or boy?
I have finally got my Christmas cards prepared and plan to mail them tomorrow. This past week seemed to be busy for me, and this weekend was a waste, at least for being productive. It was good in a couple ways though! I got to spend a lot of time with my hubby on the couch and watched two movies. Babs was happy we were around also. And, we wouldn't want her to be unhappy!
