This past Thursday I started getting a killer headache. Usually about once a week I end up with a pretty nasty headache that knocks me out for the day. I went to bed Thursday night thinking it would get better, but I barely slept and started throwing up around midnight. I thought it was the stomach flu.
I called my doctor Friday morning and he wanted me to come in. All I wanted was something for the headache, but couldn't do that without being seen. I got to my appointment and he actually thought about giving me an IV to get some fluids in me. I guess I didn't have the stomach flu....I had a nice case of morning sickness =) It surprised me because I hadn't thrown up until then...they said some women don't start throwing up until the second trimester. Great!
I ended up not getting the IV, but was prescribed Zofran for the nausea and Tylenol III for the headaches. Within 1/2 hour of taking the medication I felt better. Wow!
He let me hear the baby's heartbeat again and everything still sounds good....heartbeat is around 150.

New Job for Chris
Chris got a part-time job at Rice Hospital as a security guard....he will be working about 20 hours a week. He is still working about 20 hours a week for Swift County. It'll be nice that both his jobs are actually something that could lead him to a police officer job! We will keep our fingers crossed =).
Quick Pregnancy Update
My New Year's Resolution was to keep this thing updated....oops. Now I don't even know what to blog about because it's been so long!
I had my first OB appt on Tuesday, January 4. Everything went great....my due date changed again to July 27. Totally fine with me! My doctor said we're just gonna go with this date....July 27 is the due date I originally had when I did the calculations myself when I first found out I was pregnant. One of the reasons he moved it back up a week was because he put the dopplar (I think that's what it's called) on my belly and we heard the heartbeat immediately....talk about amazing! He said if I was only 10 weeks at that time chances are we wouldn't have heard it. The heart rate was right around 150....I told my mom and she immediately said it's a girl. Well, we will see. I have a hunch it's a boy. Actually, my hunch is so strong I find myself wanting to buy boy things and picture a baby boy in my mind =). We won't be finding out the sex.....it honestly doesn't matter to us and all the big stuff we are going to buy is going to be gender neutral anyway.
I've been feeling good....still tired and still peeing all the time, but the second trimester starts on Wednesday so that should be changing soon!
