So the time table on this pregnancy thing is so weird. Apparently it is not until week 14 that you begin your second trimester. I am almost through my first week in the second trimester. I decided to start it off with a bang....the stomach flu. I flew to Portland to see family and go to a dear friends wedding. Had a great time there and flew home on Sunday. On the way home from the airport we had to pull over so I could "toss my cookies" in a bush. I went home and slept for a couple of hours, thinking I was just over-exhausted. I then ate a little something because I am pregnant and it is good to eat food when you are pregnant! That was the end of that. I didn't stop throwing up until the ER on Monday night when they gave me Zofran and fluids. We were in the ER for 8.5 hours. After 3 liters of fluids and meds to stop the vomiting, they sent me home at about 4:30am Tuesday morning. I was able to get a meal in for the first time Wednesday evening so I am back at work today! I am still experiencing some morning sickness but it is much easier than the flu. I have my next doctor's appointment on Monday so hopefully I will get a good update from the doc.
It was great to see the baby's heartbeat again at the hospital and that definitely gave me some relief. Looking forward to the next weeks as things continue to progress quickly and soon I may feel movement! :-)
