A Bittersweet Visit

Yesterday we went for our second sonogram. Sadly, "Baby B" didn't make it. We could still see the baby, but it didn't have a heartbeat. The stenographer said it probably stopped growing about a week ago. Right now the sac is still pretty big, but she said it will start shrinking and then my body will reabsorb it. It was a bittersweet visit because we got to see "Baby A", and it looked great. The heartbeat was strong, and we could see it moving its little arms and legs. At the last visit, it looked like a blur, but this time we could make out a head and a body as well as the arms and legs. I've been released to go to my regular OB, and I plan to call tomorrow and make an appointment.

Tomorrow we go back for our second sonogram to check on the babies. I'll try to send out an update tomorrow night.

Last week I came down with a sinus infection and an ear infection. I felt pretty rotten. I took a Z-pack and it wiped out the sinus infection but didn't get rid of the ear infection. I went back to the doctor yesterday and he gave me a new antibiotic. I'm already feeling better; I think this one will do the trick.

I've had some morning sickness the past few weeks, and it seemed to get pretty bad last week. I actually lost 4 pounds while I was sick. I think all the drainage was making it worse. Overall, it's not nearly as bad as it was with Kennedy. With her, I felt nauseous all day every day. So far with this pregnancy, it's not nearly as bad. Most days it comes and goes, and some days I don't have it at all . Saturday I felt good all day long and was able to eat lots of yummy food at the Yates' Christmas party. Today was another good day. I never even had to drink my Ginger Ale, and when I got home from school, I suggested we go out to dinner. My tummy felt good, and I wanted to eat something really yummy and enjoy it! I had really prayed that I wouldn't be as sick with this pregnancy as I was with Kennedy, and so far, God has blessed me. I am so thankful for the good days like today.
