preggo details

ok...for those that are dying to know...
I am now 13 weeks pregnant, and the last about 6-7 weeks have been rough. I toughed it out the first few weeks with anti-nausea wrist bands (they didn't help, plus I broke out in a rash so I think I might just be allergic to them ha!), and homeopathic remedies (that didn't work either!). I tried eating every 2 hours...gag! I always felt like all I was doing was grazing all day long. I layed on the couch every waking moment that I wasn't at work. (let's just say that I watched a ton of pretty worthless tv). I felt so lazy. I was SOOOOOOO tired that I could have slept 20 out of the 24 hours of the day.
I went to the doctor when I thought I was about 10 weeks along. According to her I was 11 weeks along instead...yeah!!! She also gave me a prescription for an anti-nausea medication called Zofran. This really seemed to help, when one of the side-effects caught me by suprise. there is just no delicate way to put this...I was sooooo "stoped up" so to speak I thought I might die...I tried everything short of calling 911. Finally Dean & I took a trip to the "geriatric" area of the grocery store and got a product to help with these sorts of problems. Well...without getting graphic (more than I already have), things are much better now. I have cut back on my Zofran use and only use it when I think I could possibly die from the nausea. I have only vomited 2 times, but there have been MANY that I could have. It kindof ticks me off that they don't warn you about this possible side-effect when they dole out this medication. It says it right on the pharmacy info page, but I was so despirate for relief of the nausea I didn't even really read it. HMM...note to self, read the info next time.

well anyways, now that I feel like I have a little more energy, my mom and I went to target and I purchased a car seat. It was on clearance the brand is Britax. I am not really sure about it...it wasn't exactly the one I had been eyeing, but the price was pretty good, and it is very safe. If anyone in blogging land reading this knows about this seat/the strollers that can go with it, I am really open to that (hint-hint!)
