Only Three More Weeks!!

I went for my 17 week appointment today and all is well. The babies heart was beating in the 150, which according to the old tale is a boy's heart beat. If yall remember at my last appointment it was in the 160's, which is a girls heart beat. So, we will officially find out in three weeks. October 15th at 3:30PM is my 20 week sono. Now, start saying your prayers that baby is cooperating!!

Football, Football, Football...

I realized today that my next Dr. apt was scheduled for next Monday, which is a Cowboy home game. How dare I not check football schedules before I make my appointments! So, I am going this Thursday at 4:30. That is four days sooner, so I am happy! I never knew I could be so excited to go the the doctor.I will let yall know how it goes.

Yucky Flu..

Being a teacher does have it's disadvantages....illness. I thought I had built up enough immunity to be protected from all the snot and germs of little kids but boy was I wrong. I guess now that I am protecting two, things are a little different. I started felling a little yucky Sunday morning and blamed it all on the weather change. I went to work Monday with a little cough, sore throat, and all the stuff that comes along with a cold. Things still weren't better Tuesday morning so I took the list of okayed meds for pregos to my nurse at school so she could help me decide what to take. We decided Sudafed Cold. Ten minutes later I was back in her office, white as a ghost and on the verge of fainting. I laid down and got my feet up just in time. My pulse, blood pressure, and all of that was good but I was running a 99.4 fever. This all happened by about 8:15AM. She called Rusty and I went home for the day. As the day went on I wasn't feeling any better so I made a Dr appointment. Sure enough I tested positive for Type A flu. So, I've been laid up in bed since Tuesday. Luckily enough you can take Tamiful when you are pregnant and that has been a life saver. My fever got up to 101 Tuesday night but I haven't had any since then. I'm feeling MUCH better but I am extremely bored. The Dr says I am no longer contagious after today so we will spend tonight and tomorrow disinfecting the whole house. Fun! Fun!

We have a big weekend ahead of us. Rusty and I are both a part of our friends, Todd and Jill, wedding on Saturday and the big Cowboy home opener is Sunday! So, I feel positive I will be ready to go by this weekend! Things could have been much worse for me and the baby but God is Good...as always! Thanks for all the calls, and prayers.

By the way I am 4 months today! I can't believe it! I'm going to start posting pictures of my belly soon. It's starting to look a little more pregnant and not just chubby. I go back to the Dr on the 28th and I will make my 20 week sono apt then. So, we should be finding out boy/girl sometime around October 15th!
