So sick....

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.
