Sick Again!

So, Mommy-to-Be is back to being sick again.  I woke up this morning and started my usual routine (going to the bathroom to empty my bladder immediately).  Upon arriving at the sink, I realized I was dizzy, sweaty and overall just "not myself".  Thinking I had just got up too fast, I went to sit down.  After a few minutes, I was still dizzy and not feeling so great.  So, Daddy-to-Be went and got Mommy-to-Be a carnation instant breakfast, which was VERY hard for her to get down this morning, which is very unusual.  Mommy-to-Be also spent some quality time with the toilet today.  I also did not feel so good yesterday (although that was no where near as terrible as today was).

I really do not understand these "come and go" symptoms I get.  I am wondering if these flu shots have anything to do with it?  Last time I got the seasonal flu shot, I was sick for over a week, causing me to miss out on some family events and suffer through a trip to/from Hanford, which is usually not such a difficult excursion for me.  Am I now battling symptoms from the H1N1 shot?  Seems it takes a while for it to catch up with me (two or three days).  I am hoping it does not mean these shots are having adverse effects on the baby.  Many have suggested that it's just my body reacting to pregnancy, but then why do the symptoms come and go?  Or, is this the start of my morning sickness?  For my sake, let's hope not!

I am feeling a little better this afternoon, although still not 100%.  Let's hope this will pass soon!  Either way, I will endure whatever I must to ensure our little miracle is healthy and safe.

Therapy...

Not being silent about our loss is looking to be the best therapy for me during this difficult time. Through Facebook I've had countless friends reach out to me and share their stories of loss. Although it doesn't make me feel better, as we're talking about too many babies in heaven, it does make me feel less alone. So I was diagnosed w/ blighted ovum. Meaning the gestational sac and placenta was growing inside of me (the ultrasound showed it was indeed around 7 weeks along) but the baby stopped developing and was reabsorbed into my uterus. Problem is, the placenta is responsible for pregnancy symptoms, so my body still thinks it is pregnant, but there is no longer a baby or embryo. So, until I actually miscarry the tissue, I will feel pregnant. I don't know how to explain how I've been feeling the past few weeks. At first I thought it was just my uneasy feelings of this pregnancy being "unplanned" and so close to my previous pregnancy. It took me a wh...

25 Weeks & Doctor's Appt.

We hit the 25 week mark today!  Hard to believe!  Time is flying so fast... We had our doctor's appointment today (Kevin is out of town Thursday, so we moved it up).  I weighed in at a whopping 109.8!  My nurse and my doctor's response was they are so so proud of me (I felt so special!  Who would have thought GAINING weight would be so exciting?!).  Kevin's response "WHOA!"  And my response to his "WATCH IT Buddy!"  Ha!  So that's almost 14lbs of weight gain!  I really am quite proud of myself... never thought I could do it (although, I spend most of my time eating these days, so it makes sense). The nurse said I "look cute, am starting to show and have that pregnancy waddle."  Considering I did not feel like I was waddling (sometimes I have to because my tailbone hurts so bad) I was not exactly thrilled about this comment, lol!  I asked Kevin if there is something he is forgetting to tell me... ha! The doctor measured my...
