I know a lot of people make blogs, post two or three times then never come back. I swear! I'm not one of those! I've just been so busy dealing with so many other things. I mean. Geeze! Where to start....
While I was visiting my mother I ended up having to go to the ER. Turned out I had a blood clot in my left leg. They gave me Lovenox. Which is a medicine administered through a shot to the stomach, once every twelve hours. Well. I'm a gigantic baby, always have been. So the first.. I'd say week, I cried every single shot! I'm used to them now. Seeing as I've been on them over a month, I would sure hope so! (Started them on November 28th.) I was told that I am going to have to take them every day of my pregnancy, and at least six weeks after little Baby Ewer is born.
I had my first OB appointment the day after I got back from my mothers, and they ran a bunch of tests on me. My first ultrasound was a few days later! Found out that my Due Date based on LMP was WAY off. They moved my due date from May 29th, to June 23rd! Wow, right?! Baby Ewer was eleven weeks, four days.
From there my OB sent me to a specialist for the blood clots, because he did not know how to handle them. Well. I go to the specialist, and boom! Another ultrasound. I was not expecting it! We saw Baby Ewer at thirteen weeks, two days.
The specialist sent me for a leg scan, and gave me a lab slip. We've had some issues with Medicaid paying for my Lovenox shots, so I haven't had the blood work done that they've asked because I have to be taking the medicine for three days straight, at exactly twelve hours apart. So we should be getting that done here in the next few days.
Uh. Christmas! Christmas was fantastic. I got some baby clothes, maternity clothes. And Rusty's mom bought me some of my favorite cravings. I also got boots and a bunch of baby books and pregnancy books. It was a lot of fun! Rusty got way too much stuff to list.
I have my next OB appointment on January 3rd. And my next appointment with my specialist is on January 6th. Wondering if I'll get an ultrasound every visit with my specialist. Who knows... Can't wait to find out though.
