Pregnancy Update!
I must say that this pregnancy has been amazing compared to the past. Had this been my first pregnancy I may not think it is that great, but my perspective is different than most I guess. I had one really bad week of migraines, but since I now have a neurologist I immediately called and made an appointment. I had 6 migraines in 7 days! I cant live that way! The magnesium I used during the last pregnancy just wasn't working this time. The dr decided to put me on some blood pressure medicine even though my blood pressure is completely normal. He said it would help keep my blood vessels from dialating which would prevent migraines. He also said they recently cleared it for pregnancy. I sure hope they are right, but I have no choice. I have to take the medicine so that I can function! I trust that God will protect my baby just like He did Ryan and Bekah! After a few days I started feeling back to myself and my vision started coming back. I've now gone 1 week without a migraine and I am so thankful!! Other than that one bad week I haven't felt too terribly bad. Every evening I have cold chills and am very achy. Sometimes I have some nausea at lunch and in the evening but nothing that bad. I have not thrown up once except migraine related. This is amazing because with the girls I threw up every single night after dinner and after brushing my teeth! As long as I take a 20 minute nap everyday after lunch I feel pretty good. I only feel like I have the flu for those 2-3 hours but this I can handle in comparison to what I dealt with with Ryan and Bekah. I hope that this means we are having a boy this time around. If not we will still be happy, but I would be lying if I didnt say I would be slightly disappointed. It is hard to believe that I am already 10 weeks and I don't feel like Im never gonna make it to the 2nd trimester. Instead I feel like it is flying by! I am so thankful that God has allowed this pregnancy to be so much easier than the last so far. I pray things continue to go smoothly the rest of the way!
