Update on the Pregnancy

I'm so sorry that it has been so long.

This pregnacy is a lot tougher than my previous one.

I had nausea that was a thousand times worse, unbelievable heartburn, and I'm already proving to be bigger than I was when I was carrying Cadence.

So, I am now 23 weeks pregnant. I am having a little boy, and my daughter is VERY excited. She can absolutely not wait to be a big sister.

I have had some issues. So far I am clear of gestational diabetes, I was not that lucky previously. My thyroid was a little high, but after taking some medicine for a month, it is normal again. I did however have an umbilical hernia. Which was a PAIN. They said it was a pretty bad one, but due to the pregnancy, they would prefer to operate after the baby is born. No such luck for me of course, about two weeks ago, my hernia got incarcerated. I was screaming and writhing in pain, and Jack had to rush me to the Emergency Room. The doctor doped me up pretty well with demerol and tried to push it back in...I almost punch and kicked her...simultaneously, lol. So she said first thing the next morning they were going to operate. So, I had the surgery...been laid up since then. I just got cleared to go back to work. Though I can probably only work for another 10 weeks or so. I could work longer, but I work at a tourist attraction, and I don't think it's a good idea to chance going into labor at work with all the kids around, lol.

I will try to update more often, I'm a bit more energetic and all lately.
