How far along? 35 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: -1
Sleep: OK...been taking Ambien so I've been sleeping OK.
Best moment this week: Having my growth scan this morning. Baby is measuring 5 lbs 11 oz! Having my Mom, Dad, Deep, my kids, Janice, and Ketryna come to the hospital and having Father's Day lunch with me. I got to leave L&D and go to the cafeteria for a little bit! Having Deep stay at the hospital with me, and seeing him be so very caring for me. He is the best! =) For our anniversary on Saturday he brought me up dinner from Outback. We had steak, crab cakes, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, bloomin' onion, ahi tuna, and yummy ice cream for dessert. He also brought me calla lillies and a cute little pink teddy bear. I gotta say that I married 1 amazing man! I feel so blessed!
Movement: Baby gets monitored a couple times a day. She likes to play hide 'n seek with the monitors.
Food cravings: seafood, steak & Caesar salad =(
Gender: GIRL!!! She is for sure a SHE!!! =)
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: feeling good, being at home with my kids, not puking all the time.
What I am looking forward to: holding this baby in my arms! I can't wait to see her perfect little face! =)
Milestones: 35 weeks!!! WOW...WOW! I had an ultrasound growth scan this morning and she weighed 5 lbs 11 oz. She is measuring right on to a little on the bigger side! My heart is filled with so much love for this little girl. I can't wait until she is here!
Updates in general: I am at a therapeutic level of heparin. I get 2 bags of heparin a day via IV. I spoke with Dr. Puter (peri) last Friday, and she said we can induce at 36 weeks...that means in ONE week my baby daughter will be in my arms! YAY! =) I will probably be in the hospital until baby is born. Last night I started having bad back pain and having contrax every 10-12 mins. I got a vag check and I had not dilated at all, but my cervix was soft. So hopefully my body is doing something right!!! =) Kamdyn & Devas had their teeth cleaning last week. Kamdyn is CAVITY FREE!!!! Now she goes this week to get 3 baby teeth pulled so she can get her braces put on! Devas has to have 2 weak spots fixed on his 2 top front teeth. The other 3 kids go for cleanings next month. Diya had to take a few days off of cheer because she has Osgood Sclaggers...not sure on this spelling. She is feeling much better now, and she is back to her regular practice schedule. Max had his last football game this week. He got a cute little trophy. This week Max & Diya are doing a sports camp through our church, and Kamdyn is doing a dramatic arts camp through WLCSD.

34 weeks- a week late
How far along? 34 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 0
Sleep: not the best. I got admitted to the hospital on Friday 6/8/12. I never sleep great when I am in the hospital.
Best moment this week: Feeling baby move, kids getting ready for their last few days of school.
Movement: VERY busy!!
Food cravings: nothing. =(
Gender: GIRL!!! She is for sure a SHE!!! =)
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: being at home with my kids.
What I am looking forward to: delivering this baby & the kids being done with school for the summer! We are planning to bombard them at the bus stop with water balloons again! =)
Milestones: 34 weeks...WOW!! YAY! Baby is growing! Nesting is starting!
Updates in general: I had an appt. with my perinatologist last Friday. She recommended that I come to L&D (stay for 23 hour observation) for hydration and to have a consult with a few specialists. She wanted me to consult on getting an NJ tube. I saw my hematologist who checked my leg that had be super swollen that I had went to the ER for a few weeks back. He said that my left leg looked a little swollen and felt warm so he ordered a doppler of my left leg. At the ER a few weeks back they basically laughed me out of the ER. The Dr. was super nasty to me telling me that my left leg looks fine, and I heard a nurse in the hallway say "well what does she think we can do for her...she's already taking Lovenox!" I felt like a big stupid idiot. So fast forward to the evening I got admitted to L&D for hydration, and I got the HUGE surprise that I have a DVT in my left leg....exactly where I had shown the ER Dr. (who yelled at me for coming to the ER at 2 AM!) So I have been in L&D since 6/8 getting heparin by IV. I have an IV line going into each arm. OY! No determination how long I will be here yet or how the rest of this pregnancy is going to play out. More to come...

32 weeks!
I have had a very rough day. I've been very moody & emotional. I wrote parts of this blog at various points through the day so there is a huge possibility that some parts won't make sense. Also I didn't proofread or spell check. So overlook my goofy errors.
How far along? 32 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: +5, but this is mostly due to swelling
Sleep: While on our "babymoon" I didn't sleep well at all. I slept better last night in our bed!
Best moment this week: Deep & I going on our trip! We visited Bay City, Mackinaw City, Mackinac Island, Petoskey, and Alpena. We had a wonderful trip! =) Seeing Baby BGC in ultrasound at her growth scan. Last Friday she weighed about 4 lbs and was measuring nearly 2 weeks ahead! =)
Movement: She hasn't been too active the past few days. She has had the hiccups a lot lately.
Food cravings: seafood steak...both which are very yucky to puke. =(
Gender: GIRL!!! She is for sure a SHE!!! =)
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: Sleeping well, feeling good, having energy, enjoying abottle...glass of wine. ;)
What I am looking forward to: Holding this sweet baby girl in my arms! =)
Milestones: I am at 32 weeks which means that if the baby had to be born soon she would most likely be okay. Of course it is better to keep her "baking" as long as possible.
Updates in general: I had an appt last Friday with my perinatologist. We had a long talk about when is the best time to induce. She said that it is best to keep the baby in as long as possible, but we have to find a happy medium. We need to make sure that I keep the baby in until she is safe to be delivered, but keeping me healthy and sane at the same time. I have a terrible rash on my belly. It is very itchy all the time. My peri thought it could be an allergic reaction to the Lovenox injections I had been giving myself in the belly. She spoke with my hematologist, and he recommended that I change injection locations. My peri told him that I had started to do the injections in my legs a few days ago. My hematologist told my peri to tell me that "you are a genius!" I got a giggle out of that! My peri ordered some bloodwork to check bile acids (checking for cholestasis) and a few other tests that the hematologist wanted done. My peri told me that my OB tells her frequently that I look very good and healthy. She said I do not see a good/healthy person when she looks at me. I agreed...I do not look good or healthy! I was very frustrated with knowing that my OB said that. My peri wants me to see a neurologist for my headaches, and she also wanted me to see a GI dr. to talk about having a NJ tube placed. I spoke with my OB about the NJ tube today, and he said that the NJ tube comes along with other yucky risks...so he said he doesn't recommend me getting it. My peri also wants me to try the zofran sub-q pump even though zofran causes me to have horrible headaches. My OB ordered the zofran pump today...so we will see how that all works out. I have to call tomorrow to let my home health company to arrange for delivery & training of the sub-q pump. My OB put me on a few new meds to try out. So we will see how (or if) they work. My OB gave me some topical cream to put on my tummy for the itchy rash.
I am now doing NST 2 times a week at labor & delivery in the hospital. Last Thursday I contracted the entire time I was on the monitors. The on call OB checked me and did the ffn test. My cervix is closed thick still.
We had a parent meeting for Diya's cheer tonight. We have decided to add a class for her to focus more on her tumbling. So she will have stretch class 3 days a week, tumbling class 1 day a week, and practice Sun & Tues. She is a busy busy chica! She is doing very well with cheer! =)
While we were taking our "babymoon" my parents, cousin Janice, and (her daughter) my cousin Ketryna came up to help take care of our 5 kiddos. The kids all had a great time while we were gone. Ketryna brought her dog up with her, and the kids LOVE Jezzebelle. =) I miss having doggies for our kids!
While we were in Mackinaw City they had a fireworks display. Deep & I were walking hand in hand down the main st. watching the fireworks. At that very moment life was absolutely PERFECT...except I missed my kids. =)

31 Weeks!!!
How far along? 31 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 0
Sleep: just ok. Last night I started itching....my tummy started itching very very badly! I had red raised bumps (hives) on my belly. I took Benadryl and it made me sleepy. I woke up about 3.5 to 4 hours later itching again. =( I have little scratches on my belly where I itched in my sleep. =( The peri thinks that cholestasis is starting. =( She said it's a matter of time before things (can potentially) get really bad.
Best moment this week: ehhh rough week. I guess seeing Deep finish the girls loft beds! They love it!
Movement: She moves a lot while I lay down to rest!
Food cravings: sushi and this little deli that sells the most amazing pizza rolls.
Gender: GIRL!!! She is for sure a SHE!!! =)
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: Not puking every day. Being able to eat what I want without the fear of how it will be to puke that food. =/
What I am looking forward to: My appt with my Peri & Baby BGC's growth scan. This weekend we are planning to go on a "Babymoon!!"
Milestones: 31 weeks!! WOW!!! Her foot was up near my ribs yesterday. I finally felt her have very strong hiccups a couple of times this week.
Updates in general: The past week has been rough. I've spend the majority of the past week in bed. =( We are going to try doing a steroid taper for the next 2 weeks. We will see...I guess. Diya had stunt camp this past weekend. She enjoyed it! We got her cheer uniform. She is just loving cheer! She has practice 2 times a week and a few other classes 4 days a week. She keeps us hopping! Diya and Max are going to do a sports camp this summer for 4 days at our church. Kamdyn is going to play volleyball this fall. She's excited! Devas had an ear infection & yeast infection (diaper area.) Kohen had a sinus infection, and he had a few bug bites. All of these issues are much better now! Max was in a special mood all week. I'm sure hoping this week is better!!

30 Weeks!!!
How far along? 30 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: -4.5 or 5 lbs
Sleep: just ok.
Best moment this week: My hubby coming home from his business trip. Diya starting competitive cheer practice, spending quality time with my kiddos, and working on planning our "babymoon!" Hearing Baby BGC's heart tones on the doppler.
Movement: She hasn't been quite as active this week.
Food cravings: One evening it was a salmon filet, a big steak, and a loaded baked potato. Another day it was pasta. I chose to eat neither...because all of these options are awful to throw up! =(
Gender: GIRL!!! She is for sure a SHE!!! =)
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: Feeling well, and not having a hospital admission looming over my head at all times. =( Being able to bend over and pick up things easily.
What I am looking forward to: I have 2 peri appts next week, and the appt next Friday I will get a growth scan! =) The peri told me yesterday that if my situation doesn't improve that she will order an amnio at 36 weeks and if Baby BGC's lungs are mature they will induce at 36 weeks...which is the end of June!!! WOW!
Milestones: I hit 30 weeks!!!!! It seems that after I reach 30 weeks I tend to count down the weeks rather than count up...all in my mind/perception of course! Today my fundus measured 34 weeks.
Updates in general: So the house hunt is officially canceled until late 2012 or early 2013. I feel a ton of pressure has been lifted off my shoulders! It just wasn't worth the added stress at this point. I think I am getting an upper respiratory infection. I feel blah! Mother's Day was good, but I felt AWFUL that day. I have not felt the least bit well in a few days. I've been puking more than usual also. Yesterday was one of the roughest days I've had in a while. =( The kids have been playing outside a lot. It's getting really warm now. I can't believe that my kids only have a few more weeks of school! Oh in good news...Kamdyn passed her 5th grade advancement test. She will take another one in the next week or so, and if she passes it then she will be placed in an advanced type of class for 5th grade! YAY! Go K! Deep is getting worked up because the baby's d-day is drawing near! He is feeling the pressure...rather him than me!! =) Diya is super busy between school & cheer! She is doing wonderful with cheer! She learned to do a back walk-over last week! She makes me smile!

28 weeks!
How far along? 28 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I appeared to gain 7 lbs in 8 days, but it's really water retention & another health issue.
Sleep: just ok.
Best moment this week: Having Kamdyn and Diya feel Baby BGC move, and using the Doppler so they could hear her heartbeat. :). They were so excited about both. I also called my mom and dad & my gram so they could hear her heartbeat. My mom and gram cried. My dad commented how strong her heartbeat was.
Movement: Yep, I'm starting to feel her move in the top and bottom of my belly. She usually stays in my left side.
Food cravings: Speedway's pizza and orange juice
Gender: GIRL!!! Well at least I hope she is still a she! I feel like the one thing I can control in this pregnancy is buying cutesy little girl clothes, and let me tell you she is VERY well stocked in cutesy little clothes. One thing is for sure...I LOVEEEEEEEE butt ruffles!!! =)
Belly Button in or out? In What I miss: Life without an IV. Showering without having to have someone prep my line. Not having big bruises from blood draws and IV. Not seeing multiple doctors each week.
What I am looking forward to: My next fun ultrasound. I need to schedule it soon. Holding this little diva in my arms. Sharing her first photos and her
Milestones: I'm in my 3rd trimester now!!! Yay! Only 2 weeks until I can start the 10 week countdown! Baby is measuring 30.5 weeks by fundus. :)
Updates in general: I developed a blood clot in my picc line over the weekend. I was in the ER on Sunday afternoon to have it taken care of. Monday (yesterday) when my home nurse visited she wasn't happy with how my arm looked. So I had to see the picc team and my ob today. I had an ultrasound of my left arm where the picc line was, and it showed a small blood clot at the site of insertion of my line. My ob referred me to an internist for picc line/ cellulitis/ blood clot treatment. The internist told me to go to the ER for picc removal, and I'd be admitted so all my doctors could coordinate a care plan for me. So I'm in the ER ow waiting to get moved to labor and delivery. I had my picc line removed, and I'm on an IV now. I'm getting blood thinner and antibiotics through the IV.

26 WEEKS!!!!
How far along? 26 weeks...YAY!!
Total weight gain/loss: lost close to 30 lbs. I've lost about 4 lbs in the past 2 weeks.
Sleep: I'm not sleeping well. I have been waking up VERY sick about 3-3:30 AM.
Best moment this week: Baby BGC has become a very active little girl in the past week! Her movements are much bigger now. They can be felt from the outside!
Movement: LOTS! This little girl love my left side. She stays on my left most of the time. She is definitely starting to move up in my tummy!
Food cravings: Gas station hot dogs with ketchup & onions & Bagger Dave's french fries
Gender: GIRL!!! Well at least I hope she is still a she! I feel like the one thing I can control in this pregnancy is buying cutesy little girl clothes, and let me tell you she is VERY well stocked in cutesy little clothes. One thing is for sure...I LOVEEEEEEEE butt ruffles!!! =)

What I miss: Feeling good. =( Still puking all the time. =( Being able to function without having an IV line/fluids running through my body.
What I am looking forward to: My next fun ultrasound. I need to schedule it soon.
Milestones: feeling movement, starting to get a bit of a baby bump now.
Updates in general: I'm doing TPN with lipids 4 days a week now. So far I have gotten VERY sick from it. =( We are still house searching. We haven't found THE ABSOLUTE PERFECT house yet. I keep praying that God will lead us to THE PERFECT HOUSE! Took Devas to the pedi today. He has a "nasty" ear infection and sinus infection. This explains the LONG nights we've had lately. He starts his antibiotic today so hopefully he will be on the mend very soon!

He starts his antibiotic today so hopefully he will be on the mend very soon!

OB appt & ultrasound
Monday I had an OB appt & an ultrasound! I was sooooo excited thinking that we may be able to see the gender of the baby giving that I am 17 weeks, and Baby BGC is measuring about a week ahead. The baby was so cute...S/he waved at us. It was precious! The baby still measured about a week ahead. Baby BCG weighed about 8 oz. We listened the the heartbeat. Baby BCG's heart was beating at 146 bpm. The tech was not the nicest. =( She wanted NOTHING to do with giving us a quick peek.
After my ultrasound I saw the Dr. I lost 1.5 lbs and my bp was 110/62. Urine was "better" this week. The Dr. came in my room and chatted with me about what was going on. He said to stick with the regimen we are going with now. He seemed very doubtful that I will feel somewhat normal through this pregnancy. =( I will see the Dr. in 4 weeks.

Intelligender Gender Prediction Test
So as you all know we are expecting our 6th baby in July. The baby's nickname is Bubble-Guppy-Cupcake (BCG from here on out!) With the majority (4) of my pregnancies I have found out the gender before birth by ultrasound. We choose to not find out until birth with 1 of our kids. It was an amazing experience to wait until birth. I obviously had a lot more patience then than I do now! Now I can't wait to find out if we will have ribbons & bows or cars & trains.
I had the opportunity to try and review the Intelligender Gender Predictor Test. Here is a little bit of information taken from Intelligender's website.
"IntelliGender's Gender Prediction Test™ is a simple urine analysis similar to the pregnancy test you took a few weeks ago. It uses first morning urine and a proprietary mix of chemicals which reacts with a combination of hormones to indicate the gender of your baby. It can be performed as early as 10 weeks of pregnancy (six weeks from the first day of the missed period). It is an easy test to perform and provides quick results in-home so the news can be shared right away.
IntelliGender reminds all pregnant moms that seeing an obstetrician early in the pregnancy is critical for the health of the mother and the baby and should follow the advice of their physician.
You simply collect first morning urine and insert into the test vessel. Swirl rapidly in a circular motion, place the test on a flat white surface undisturbed for minutes."
So my girls & I got up super early on Sunday, January 15 to try out the Intelligender Test. I was 12 weeks & 6 days pregnant at the time.
I opened the box and examined all the contents in the Intelligender box, and we read the directions.
Next I collected my urine in the syringe and put it in the Intelligender test container. I swirled the urine in the test container for 10 seconds, I set a timer for 5 minutes, and I left the room.
When the timer went off my girls and I ran into the bathroom to examine the Intelligender test.
This is what we found upon checking out Intelligener test. It looks like the Thakur Family's new addition may be a new little boy according to Intelligender.

OY! Update...Feb 1
The BIG news is that I am 15 weeks pregnant! I feel like time is flying by in general...but every day seems to last forever. If that makes any sense...
I am having a really bad day. I thought I felt a bit better for a few days, but today I am right back to AWFUL! I haven't eaten much until a bit ago. I tried cheese & Ritz crackers as my OB nurse instructed me to...it was a NO GO! Badddd news for Mama's belly! I had gained a couple of pounds, but I've lost it all again. The good news is I'm getting skinnier...just not in a healthy way. I'm still getting 3 liters of LR, meds, & vitamins daily. That is the only thing keeping me going! Less than 2 weeks until that "magical 17th week) that my OB keeps talking about. I know Diya's preg wasn't as bad as this one, but with her I was very sick until the day she was born. So I'm nervous to see if I will be a bit luckier this go around. In other BIG NEWS....I go Feb. 18 to a "fun ultrasound" place to find out if our little munchkin is a boy or girl! So far most people say Girl. Any guesses? Either way this baby will have a K (first) J (middle) name. Which brings up a funny story. When I was pregnant with Max I was on an email group for ladies that were TTC (trying to conceive). The girls had given the wee baby the nickname Max...before knowing if he was a he. So all along he was called Baby Max. A friend from the email group tried to come up with a K or D name that had Max in it...you will never guess one of the options thrown out....Klymaxx...isn't that GREAT!! I laugh every time I think of that story!
In other news, Kamdyn had her follow up orthodontist appt today. This ortho is growing on me. I wasn't sure I liked him at first, but today showed me he isn't just out to get my $$$. I have met with other orthos...each of them wanted me to schedule an appt that day to get the braces on. I choose this office because it was referred to us by a friend, and truly their office is REALLY cool...it's the kid in me. ;) We went in 3 weeks ago for her initial appt. They did xrays & photos of her teeth. Today we were supposed to go over a treatment plan & $$$. The ortho completely surprised me and said that he wants to save Kamdyn time & pain and save me money. He wants to wait until she looses 3 more baby teeth and her adult start to grow in before he puts braces on. That way she will only need 1 set (phase) of braces. He said it is our choice if we want wait for her to loose the teeth naturally or if we wanted her dentist to pull them. He was going to send a referral to the dentist just in case we decided to have them pulled. He said take all the time we need...that it isn't a big rush. I am not sure which route we will take. The kids need to go in for a teeth cleaning...so I think I will talk to her dentist about it then. He is very honest with me so I trust his opinion.
Diya is (for the most part) doing well with her new gluten/wheat free diet. She did share with my mom that she hates her life because she isn't able to eat normal anymore. That was a few days ago. I'm really trying to get her some products that she likes that are gluten free. So far we've found some chocolate cookies, chocolate covered pretzels, mac n' cheese (her favorite food ever!), bagels, and cheesy poofs. The cheesy poofs are REALLY good!!! She scarfed them down quickly. Most of these products we have bought at Meijer! They have an AMAZING gluten free selection! She has chicken nuggets, donuts, and a few other products to try. Our other big gluten free stores are Trader Joes & Whole Foods. Meijer & Whole Foods definitely have the better selections.
My parents have been here for almost a week. Deep had to travel to Canada last week, and he is in California this week. I am SOOOOOOOOOO INCREDIBLY THANKFUL that my parents were able to come & help me. I have pretty much stayed in bed the entire time they have been here. It has been such a relief to have daily help. =) Deep will be home Friday.
Last night I was able to take Kamdyn out for a bit. We grabbed dinner & then went to a High School girls basketball game. It was a Catholic High School in Livonia named Ladywood. It's an all girls school. Kamdyn had fun! She got a free tshirt & hot dog, chips & soda. It was nice to spend some quality time with Kamdyn.

OB appt & NT ultrasound
Yesterday I had an OB appt so that we could get my IV meds ordered again. I gained 1/2 a lb, and my Dr. made a huge deal about it! I think it's just from IV fluid, but what do I know?!? My urine was negative, and my BP was 100/60. The dr. tried to hear the baby's heart via doppler. He found the hb right away last week, but this week he couldn't find it. I was a bit worried, but knew I had an ultrasound in the afternoon. I told the dr. how bad I was feeling since all my meds were taken away. So the Dr. ordered 3 liters of lactated ringers (LR), first one with phenergan, 2nd with multivitamins & zofran, & the 3rd with phenergan. Today is my first day to try this regimen. I have thrown up twice today. So we shall see where this goes....
Yesterday I had the NT scan/ultrasound done. The baby was wiggling around. S/he measured 77 mm from crown to rump. S/he measured 14 weeks...almost a full week ahead. The measurement for the NT was 1.9...so a healthy measurement. The baby's hear rate was 156. The ultrasound tech said everything looked good! =) We will get results in about a week.

frusturated again!
I had my PICC line placed on Friday. This was a big relief! Almost seen as a miracle in my eyes! So getting IV fluids is much easier now! *whew* So I will count this as 2 steps forward....
Now I only took 1 step back this time...because I think I can find a way to deal with this issue. My OB has decided that I am ONLY to get fluids...no meds or vitamins in my IV. I spoke with the nurse at his office, and she told me that he insisted that I since I said they didn't help me why would he waste his time prescribing the meds/vitamins. Sad thing is I told him in his office last Monday that I not only NEED the phenergan, but that when zofran is added to phenergan I feel so much better!!! When I have the mutlivitamin in my IV I feel better longer after the IV is done. So where is he getting that the meds don't help me?!?
The OB's nurse told me that I am going to have to come in and talk to the Dr. myself because she feels like she is playing quarterback between the Dr. & I and she isn't qualified to play QB. UGH. So I was transferred to the receptionist to schedule an appt. They only had 1 appt available this entire week. It was at a time I couldn't go in. So I asked if I can just speak with the Dr. on the phone. The receptionist told me that he is so backed up with stuff that she doubted he would have a chance to call me. I hung up the phone, and burst into tears...UGH.
I have decided that I've had enough with this dr! I can't take this anymore. I'm sick...I'm loosing weight....I feel like crud all the time...I can hardly keep anything down. What about this don't they understand??
So I made an appt with a new OB in the area that was listed on the reference area of www.helpher.org The nurse I spoke with on the phone said they deal with HG often. So that is hopeful for me! I am keeping my fingers crossed and saying prayers that this new Dr. takes me serious!

OFFICIAL Announcement!
Yes, I am pregnant! I am due July 23. Yes this is baby #6. Yes we are happy! This munchkin was a BIG HUGE surprise, but we are just thrilled!
Here is our little "Bubble-Guppy-Cupcake!"
I am 12 weeks & 4 days along. I was nauseated before I even got a + test. At 8 weeks I went downhill quickly. I have lost 5-6 % of my body weight. I am very nauseated all the time. I was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum. I have been getting IV hydration at home. Today I go to get a PICC line placed. I'm hoping this will help, and I will start feeling better.
Anyway, this is our big news! I have an ultrasound on Jan 18 for the NT. I will NOT be having the penta screen...which gave me a false positive for trisomy 18 with Devas's pregnancy. Then around mid/late Feb I will have an ultrasound to determine gender.
By the way...we know what causes babies, and no we don't care to hear your opinion of OUR LIFE! =)

Blog Dare #12
I am going to do tomorrow's & Friday's because I have a lot going on. So while I have a moment I will write...
Thursday's blog prompt is "A vacation I hope to take this year."`
Purely speaking hypothetically, I'd love to take a huge Disney World vacation & swim with dolphins/manatees, go back to NYC, go on a cruise, or go to an All-Inclusive resort. Dreamin' big! LOL Actually since I'm pregnant & have HG I doubt I will be leaving town anytime soon. =(

Keli's Dr. appt.
I had my OB appt today. I lost another 5 lbs since the end of Dec. My BP was 116/78. My dr. came in my room, and we talked about how I am feeling. I told him that I can't keep going on IV hydration 2 days a week. I need it every day! He agreed that would be best, and suggested a more permanent IV (PIC line) so I can administer my own fluids/meds at home. He also wanted to up the amount of fluids, meds, and vitamins I get each day! I was elated! Finally I can avoid those way too frequent ER trips I've been making! I had some blood drawn...electrolytes & uric acid tests. Then I went to "check out"...you know where you make future appts, finalize this appt. That is when I was informed that Pic lines are no longer done because of the rate of infection. It it not protocol. The nurse also told me that she doesn't know if my insurance will even cover me getting IV hydration every day. I stood there and started crying. I'm in such a desperate place right now. I was informed that the nurses/home health care will figure this out by this afternoon. They will call me to let me know what is going on. I am so frustrated. I sure hope they do get this figured out. Thankfully my home health agency are super great & fast at getting back to me! UGH I'm just tired! I'm sick and tired! I feel awful, and I can't keep going like this. UGH UGH UGH!
We listened to the baby's heart tones. He found the heart tones right away...the minute he put the doppler on my tummy. The dr. said that the baby is doing great through all this which is definitely a relief! Glad my body is taking care of the little one! =)
*EDIT*
I spoke with my home health care folks, and they spoke with my Dr. office. Then a nurse from my OB's office called me. Basically here is what was decided...I will be getting an IV line tomorrow. I will get 3 liters of fluids, meds, & vitamins tomorrow & Thursday. Then Friday they will check me to see if I am hydrated enough to get a midline catheter placed. If so then I will get fluids every day for as long as I need them.
The Dr. said this nausea typically goes away at about 17 weeks. He asked if it went away with my previous pregnancies. It did with all except for Diya's pregnancy. I guess time will tell...

Bloggy Dare #7
Something you need daily - coffee?
So this is yesterday's blog prompt. I missed yesterday because I was so very ill. I spent the greater part of the evening in the ER getting 4 1/2 liters of IV fluid & 2 medications to help resolve the horrible nausea. Thankfully my electrolytes tested OK. I hadn't kept food or drink down in about 48 hours. I felt awful!
Thankfully after the fluids I felt well enough to eat (something I was MAJORLY craving!) a piece of Papa Romano's pizza & a bread stick. Unfortunately it came back up, but a whole glass of cold Sprite stayed down!!! YAY!
So back to my blog prompt...something I need daily. Recently it is IV fluids. When not pregnant and suffering with HG I need caffeine...preferably in the form of Diet Coke!
