If you keep up with my other blogs you’ll know that my folks were in town this week for a visit.  I hadn’t told my folks prior to this week that I was preggers because I wanted it to be a surprise.  Well while we were out, we stopped by Jamba Juice and got a smoothie while instide my father asked how far along I was.  I asked how he knew I was preggers sine I wasn’t showing he said he just knew.  Later I found out that hubby squealed to him during a phone conversation weeks ago.  But my mother still didn’t know so I wrote on a pumpkin “I’m pregnant”.  I asked her if she wanted to see the pumpkin I got and when I turned it around she started laughing.  She thought it was a joke.  I showed her the pregnancy test and she started crying.  Needless to say she is thrilled.  Now she has an excuse to go yard sailing for baby stuff.

Because of the lack of entertainment in this small town we basically ate our way through the week.  We ate out everyday, 3 meals a day.  I think we ate at every restuarant here.  So as you can imagine I put on some weight this week, probably 10 lbs.  My tummy is poking out and waistbands on pants are starting to get tight.  I know I won’t be eating that much till their next visit so hopefully I can get a couple more weeks in without wearing preggers garb.

I’m starting my excersise program of yoga and waling to the library this week so hopefully that will counteract the binge eating that insued last week.

*Note* I walked to the library to write this post.

Well come to find out, I didn’t have the flu but infact Roseola. I woke up today with a rash all over my body just like the bean and p-nut had after they got rid of their fever. Apparently, an adult with Roseola gets it alot worse than a kid because I felt awful. I did research online and pretty much diagnosed myself. The majority of the websites that I looked at said that it may cause a miscarriage or birth deffects and some said that they just don’t know because there haven’t been alot of tests done to determine the outcome because it is so rare.

When I got the rash this morning hubby got really concerned and demanded that I go to the ER, so we went there and the doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I told them tnat I did research of my own and think that it is roseola. After the doctor went back and consulted with another doctor she came back and said yep that is what you got and sent me home. There is no medicine to take just have to wait it out. So basically we had a wasted trip to the ER.

Weight: 129 lbs.
I think I have the flu.  I’m sure I got it from the yucky pay phone I used the other day.  It is especially bad that I’m sick because the only thing I can take is tylenol since I’m still early in my pregnancy.  Had I been in my second trimester there would be more medicine options for me.  So this kinda sucks.  I just gotta suffer and hope it goes away quickly. Last night it got really bad and I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital.  My arms, hands, legs, and feet all got really really cold and almost numb feeling.  I couldn’t get them to warm up despite how many layers of clothes I had on or number of blankets that I was under.  I was shivering so bad.  I took a warm bath and went to sleep and eventually warmed up.  But I was sooo scared.  I had never felt that feeling in my hands before.

I’m doing alot better today.  I have most of strength back.  The only thing is that I still have a horrible sore throat.  So I’m not doing alot of talking. I’ve been drinking nothing but orange juice the last two days.  I figured the extra vitamin C could help kick this flu bug.  Tomorrow I have to keep the bean, so I’m trying to get as much rest today as possible.

The initial shock, anger, and frustration of finding out that I’m pregnant for the second time is slowly but surely deminishing.  I’ve spent the majority of the week on the couch sobbing and being angry at the hubby.  You could say that I was pretty depressed.  Thank goodness the bean and family was out of town so I didn’t have to babysit all week.  The reality of how life will be in 9 mos really sinks in every time I have to watch the bean.  I hate it.  It isn’t fun.  It is completely stressful and draining.  For the people that welcome having more than one kid, more power to them, for me it just isn’t my thing.
