Prego Update!

Well I am happy to say that I had about 6 weeks of feeling great! Really I was up doing stuff, I was still sleeping at night and I wasn't throwing up or sick at all. Sadly that streak has come to an end. About 3 weeks ago I started getting extremely tired and a little bit nauseous again. Of course that is just normal with pregnancy so I didn't think anything of it. Well I went to my doctors appt this week and they decided to do an iron test because at my last appt it seemed a bit low. It had already dropped 10 points in 2 weeks!!! I guess that is a lot. So they gave me a high dose iron supplement to take and told me to plan on being sick. Man they were not kidding! Within the hour of taking it I had the worst cramps and was so nauseous an dizzy! As the days went on it kept getting worse and not better. Than last night my left side of my body went numb all the way up to my face! I thought maybe I just laid on something funny or that Danny was pinching a nerve, so It took a bath and tried to stay off that side. The next morning the numbness was still there so I called the nurse. They said this was not because of the baby pinching a nerve, but that it must be something different. Since I am breathing fine and have no leg cramps, which would indicate blood clots, I AM NOW ON BED REST FOR A FEW DAYS! I have to lay on right side all day long to see if we can get the feeling back into my left side. So that is where I am at now. Just laying on my right side wishing I could take care of my little girl. But hopefully it will get better quick. They are thinking I had a severe allergic reaction to my iron medication, and I am praying that is all it is. Isn't pregnancy so much fun :) But it is worth it! 8 more weeks until I see my little boy. I can't wait.
