Prego part 2 :)

So! this is where it gets interesting! the first week of 2nd trimester, my sister got sick with a stomach infection, now I never knew that pregnant girls catch sickness way easier than most. the immune system drops so it wont take the baby as a threat and attack it. so being pregnant makes you very vulnerable and humble :) anyway, so my sister's came and went, and as much as I tried to avoid it, I caught it. So remember in the last post I said I didn't get morning sickness? well, what happened during this sickness pretty much made up for it :) I was throwing up all night, could not keep anything down, and had THE WORST stomach pain I think ive ever had. around 4 in the morning, my husband decided to take me to the hospital. I am so grateful he did not take pictures while we were there, im sure I looked horrid. the doctors took me to a bed, ( I couldn't walk at this point) they even had to wheel me back and forth to the bathroom in a hospital gown. so lets just say I had no dignity left after this was over :) anyway, they put an iv in me, which stopped the vomiting, to hydrate me, then took some blood, and I laid there for a few hours until they came back and told me what was wrong, they gave me medicine for the pain and sent me home. so for the next few days I had a fever and was extremely weak. it took me a full week to get my strength and appetite back. so that was fun, then I got to go to the doc the next week to see the baby move!

Then the glorious news came!!!! We found out we are having a girl! yay!!!! I was wanting to post pictures but it's not letting me, so after that I got pneumonia :) lucky me! that took a lot out of me too. I had a lot of relaxation time haha :) another thing that happened during my second tri was in the walmart parking lot, I was waiting for my husband and I felt some kind of butterflies in my stomach, or muscle spasm or something... and come to find out it was our baby's first movement!!! talk about exciting! when the movements got more intense I would just lay there and feel/watch her move :) feeling like no other! during this whole time, Daniel was in salt lake for a lot of the time, for an internship, so there was a lot of time spent with chocolate milk and watching what to expect when youre expecting :) best movie ever! 2nd trimester had a lot of ups and downs from felling first movements, to not being able to fit normal clothes anymore :) but I think it wasn't until 3rd tri that I really started learning a lot about myself and others ......stay tuned :)
