Update

I have had lots of calls asking if I ended up needing an IV, so I thought I would add a quick update. No, I didn't end up getting an IV, when I went back to the doctor he said that my ketone levels are lower so I just need to keep track of how I am feeling and if I get to feeling really gross again I need to go get them checked again. But I am feeling pretty good and hope to continue feeling better. Thanks for your concern!

Adventures in Pregnancy

Well, before I get to all the exciting pregnancy updates I thought we should first take a quick look at our Christmas Holiday.  Westin bought me a new camera for Christmas!  I LOVE it!  I would take a picture of it but... well you know.


Here is Westin at the Judd family Christmas dinner. This is when he decided to have just a mustache for a couple of days after his brother talked him into it.


Here is Jon (Westin's brother) playing with the remote control helicopters that Westin's dad had bought for Christmas.  The boys LOVED playing with them.  


Here is Westin with Aunt Chris playing the electric keyboard during Judd family dinner.  They sounded awesome.


Okay on to pregnancy news!

Here is Westin using his tie as a odor shield while cleaning up some throw-up that didn't make it to the toilet.  He has been so good at taking care of me.

Here I am filling out some paper work for my first doctors appointment

Westin and me waiting in the waiting room

Here is baby Smith!  He/She is currently 6.93 Cm long. Which puts me due a week and a half sooner than I thought I was! July 31, 2009 here I come!


The Dr's appointment went really well.  I felt like the Dr. Lamoreaux answered all my questions plus some.  I do have to go in again tomorrow and get my urine checked again.  I had too many ketones in my urine (+4 which is the highest/largest you can have) and ketones make you even more sick and nauseated.  So for today I have to stay home nibbling constantly on crackers, pasta and whatever else and constantly drinking 1 tsp of juice at a time. So hopefully tomorrow my ketones will be lower or I will have to go get an IV in order to get hydrated.  But still I am just happy, seeing my baby move on the ultrasound made it all better!

Anyway more posts to come! Please leave a comment!
