New job!
Today I started my new job. ;) I now work 8-5, 3 days a week as a receptionist! :) I really liked it. I was physically and emotionally drained after. I haven't worked that many hours in a long time. And even though I was sitting most of the day, sitting is still work because I am against gravity. But it went well. I'm happy for the change and look forward to learning more. I'm happy to be off the next 2 days tho. Nausea hit me hard after. And the drive home was rough but I did it. I've been lying down since I've been home. Ill be bed by 8!!! I'll need to get the heating pad out tho, my arm is pretty numb and I'm cold!!! Whine, whine I know!!!
Neurology paperwork was mailed off today!! Hoping they get it tmrw and they call me!!! Hoping to get a call no later than Wednesday!!! If I don't hear from them I will be calling for sure!!!!!

Blah!!! Blaaaaaah!!! Blaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
I was going to title this blog Death, as in, I feel like it. BUT.....decided that may be a little morbid. Even tho the truth is anxiety is creeping in to night and making me feel like the impending doom is near. I know it's not. I know things will be fine but Blaaaaaaaah! I feel like death. By this point, I probably don't even need to go into details of how I feel and what my symptoms are! Lol you all prolly have em all memorized! So ill just say I think my head is gonna explode, along with my left eye and my ear.
Those of u that are migraine sufferers I have a new respect for u. I'm pretty sure I mentioned that before. I also am jealous that u can take medicine to help ur migraines. I would seriously pay some big money right now if it were ok for me to take 800mg of ibuprofen! Omg glory to god if I could! Lol. Instead I'm laying with my left eye closed to see my iPod with my head on a hot pack. I can take my pulse from the base of my skull. That's how much it's throbbing. Anyway....
I stayed in bed all day today EXCEPT to shower, go to work for an hour, pick up some quick things at target and the pig, and dinner. Otherwise, I have been in bed all day.
While at Target I seriously though about getting a motorized cart!!! I shoulda! I mighta felt better! Of course target didn't have any of the things I needed (bras underwear sweater) so when I got in bed, got the laptop out and ordered from Walmart. I know I know Walmart, but it's the only place that carries what I need, so for now...score. Okay my face is starting to hurt from squinting.
Gotta get to bed, fill u all in on the news tmrw :) I got some good stuff to share!

9 weeks, 63 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
even tho I am incredibly close.....I still find myself subconsciously thinking....."just, let my water break," or "can't baby girl just be here." I know that she needs to be in there as long as possible! I know this! But the damn HG makes you think things that you don't normally think. like in the early days. but the early days the thoughts were much more DARK and GRIM!!! (which I still feel guilty about even thinking those darn thoughts!) I woke up at 8:30 today, ate breakfast by 9:30 and I am back in bed already. *sigh* I am beyond nauseous and don't even wanna think about the 1 hour I have to work today OR the fact that the hubs wants to go shopping for MUCH NEEDED supplies today. Which, we really need. But I don't know if i am going to be able to make it. =-(
My body and mind are soooo over all this. I can't even think straight or function. blech....happy sunday y'all huh? Just call me debbie downer today. I can take it. I have been called worse.
Gonna try and sleep before work this afternoon. Wish me luck!

Visitor =-) and Neurology paperwork
My cousin, Abbi came to visit today!!! I was so happy to see her. Unfortunately after a bit, I started feeling really shitty. i had a bad pain in my chest, it got all hot and spread around. And then i couldn't think of my words I wanted to say. So a little of anxiety hit me but then I got really nauseous and sat in my parents' bathroom for awhile because I wasn't sure if I was gonna barf or not. I didn't. But it hit me like a ton of bricks. I was ready to go to bed. I stuck it out and I smiled and kept talking. But man, I was dying. She headed out to hang with some friends and said she would swing by tomorrow to say goodbye. =-) I was happy to see her!
After she left, I lay on the couch for a bit and just tried to regulate my body again. I was all whacked out. =( I got to a point where I felt okay, and I started to read and fill out my paperwork that I got from the Headache clinic (neurology referral) after reading through this paperwork, it is apparent to me that my small town nurse DID NOT explain to the BIG CITY nurse my exact issue of why i needed this referral EVEN THOUGH MY REFERRAL SAID LEFT SIDED NUMBNESS.... but I digress.....a neurologist is a neurologist at this point. I am happy for anyone to see me. I started to fill out the paperwork, when did your headaches start? what are they like now? what drugs have you tried? explain the pain etc.
So, yes I have headaches, and yes I would say that I have had the occasional migraine during this pregnancy. BUT....My left sided affectedness of numbness and tingling along with my eye issue and the pain at the left side of the base of my skull (yes this can be considered a headache) isn't what I define as a headache, and Doesn't fit into or onto their headache questionnaire. what does one do??? Well...this ONE, types up a 4 page "report" of her initial "stroke like experience," and what has happened since then. (this was super emotional for me to type up and go through it again, my anxiety went through the roof tonight and I had a really hard time with it.) I also include a table on meds I was taking up until my referral date and now my current meds. I did some research on B6 and I think I could have had too much in my system. anyway....and then I included my 2 excel worksheets of all my symptoms that I brought with me to my PCP for him to realize that YES I NEEDED THIS REFERRAL.
I am sure the triage nurse that will be revenging my packet back in the mail will think i am neurotic! And you know what THAT IS OKAY!!! it will deem me a visit then. I put a note in there that I wanted to be a thorough as possible and that I didn't want to leave anything out. Which i am sure I left things out, but after 4 pages, who the hell wants to keep reading about how shitty a person feels? I also wanted to let them know that I was indeed pregnant but I didn't want them to jump to the decision that well, this is happening because she is pregnant. I wanted to get it in the mail today yet, but it was too late. I will get it in the mail first thing on Monday and hope they get it by Tuesday and I get my call on Wednesday. Oh how great that would be! I for sure need your positive vibes and your prayers if you are the praying type.
okay, its 10pm. My head hurts, my arm hurts, my eye hurts, i have heartburn and baby girl is pulling a gremlin on me again. I need meds and sleep.

Ultrasound Pictures!!!!
I went today for another 3D/4D ultrasound. It is amazing what a difference there is between week 16 and week 31!!! I will post for comparison. The tech wasn't happy with the pictures today and really I wasn't THRILLED, with them, but I was happy to see baby girl again. AND because the Tech wasn't happy, that means I get to go back again for FREE!!!! YAHOOO!!! I get to see her again! So excited about that! My bestie got to come with me today and she was sooo excited. She was excited to see baby girl, BUT she was ALSO excited to see 3D/4D and how it all works! (She's going to school for ultrasound tech. she was in heaven! LOL)
I don't want to sound ungrateful, because I am not, I am happy I got to see baby girl, but I was sad that I didn't get to see more clear pictures. The tech said she was head down, but her face was all smooshed up against my uterine wall and so there was this shadowing and the tech had to get at a weird angle. I was rolling all over the table. =)
Here you go. I hope you enjoy them
