I called my OB's office today since I woke up with the worst headache/migrane/tension headache whatever you wanna call it. It was so bad it had me feeling like I was gonna puke and I was very weak. I called the office and they told me to take extra strength tylenol and if that didn't work I could go to the hospital. I thought it was kinda weird since I have read online that it can be a sign of dehydration.
On top of that they didn't even have my appointment in the computer. They had all my information but no appointment. The lady that took all my information when I called didn't even actually work there and scheduled me two weeks in advance even though I told her I was anywhere from 8-13 weeks and was very high risk. They ended up scheduling me for the day after my original appointment. So my new appointment is on the 4th but what really sucks is that it is at 8:30 in the morning. I'll have to get my mom to watch Addy for me since it takes about 20-30 minutes to get there.
The first appointment will most likely be a pap and family and pregnancy history review. So I don't know when my first ultrasound will be. It's kinda frustrating cause I really need to find out how far along I am and my thyroid levels need to be checked. I just feel like i'm not a priority. My old OB got me in within the next week(I need to cancel that appointment tomorrow) and would have had me come in if I called. I have to go with a new OB in the next town over though cause I am not having this baby in our local hospital.
They have no NICU and the nursing staff is not great at all. They don't want you walking the halls so you have to call them for them to bring you your baby which could take up to 40min. In the next town over you can go get your baby out of the nursery if you'd like. They also have a 51 bed Level III Regional NICU which is great and exactly what I need just in case anything happens again this time.
So there's my blog for the day! Hopefully this new OB will prove to be great. I'll post again after my first appointment!

BFP! I'm Pregnant w/ Baby #2!
Well it all started with me thinking I was about to start my period. I felt bloated and crampy and started having my normal intake of sweet, salty, sweet, salty, back and forth. I just couldnt stop eating everything in sight! lol Still didn't really think much of it but I joked about it to my fiance cause he didn't wanna use anything to prevent, he wanted me to mess my body up with pills again.
Anyway, I started getting more tired during the day which I figured was cause I needed to get my thyroid checked. I also was getting uncontrollable gas and moodiness. I had also had a dream that I was pregnant and it was a boy. A dream I only had when I was pregnant with Addy(of course girl baby). So I was beginning to think I was pregnant for real.
August 6th my cousin was down and I went and bought her a mixed drink at our drive thru. I didn't wanna drink if I was pregnant so I went to Wal-Mart and got a three pack box of tests(I bought some from online but they weren't in yet). The first one was positive with a light line that took a little while to show up. The second test could have been positive or negative since there was barely a line there at all. The next morning I used the third one and it was negative. All eventually showed up a definite positive later.
I went into the office and took a test there on the 8th before I left for Houston. Well the test came out as a definite positive. I was for sure pregnant and was due at least by April 4th, 2009.
My fiance thought I was messing with him at first and then realized that we had another baby on the way. We were a little unsure at first since Addy is only 8mths but we are very excited now and hope this one will be our little boy! If so his name will be Alex John.
I took two tests when the others finally came in and as soon as the pee hit the stick the lines showed up! lol
So as of today I am anywhere between 8w6d and 14w5d. I can't wait to have my first ultrasound. This time around I will most likely be on the p17 shot and may end up with a cerclage with routine cervical scans as well as multiple tests for different things.
