Doctors appt.

Soooo Tuesday morning at 10am wassupposed to be my regualar every 4 week check-up with the obgyn...... or so I thought anyways.... I work up that morning vomitting severly and started vomitting blood! This was approximatly at 9:15am, well luckily I was already ready for the appointment, but at this point I was freaking out soo much I did'nt know what to expect- I about lost it!! .... Sooo I got in the car and drove myself to the Doctors office, earlier than my appt. to explain to them what was happening. So I waited in the waiting room for about 15mins, mind you running to the bathroom every 5.... and the doc came out and told me that I need to go straight to the triage er- because they were worried with all this constant vomitting for sooo long that I may have been getting dehydrated... UGh, what a mess.... soo I called Chris and he left work to come get me and take me to the hospital. They hooked me up to an iv for two bags of fluid and then gave me meds through the iv. When I was there they were contemplating putting a pic line in, ( a pic line is a temporary iv that they put in your neck to allow you to go home and give fluids to yourself)...... so they decided to try another alternative and I have to take a prescription around the clock for a few days- vomitting or not to see if it helps. As long as I do whatever I can to stay hydrated I can keep away from the pic line. Good thing for short term disability benefits at the Bmont! .... Because there is no way in this world I could go to work like this..... so the docs told me to resched. my docs appt. After I got out of the er and knew what was going on. I was able to get in the next day (wed) and on a brighter note babys heartbeat was 150..... and I got the wonderful prescription to call Fetal Imaging at Royal Oak and I did and they made our appt for March 23rd at 5pm- and on that day we will discover if we are expecting baby Kennley or baby Chace!!!! After going through the ringer this week- this was a definate pick me up! ... Yesterday afternoon I arrived home and there was a knock at the door and I was happy to recive a get well balloon and flowers from David n Katie ( brother n sis in law) and that made my day that much better as well!! xo thanx again guys!

Here are some pics of my delivery...

The life of a Prego lol

Sooo 15 weeks down, 5 more weeks will and we will know if we are expecting baby "Kennley Giada" or Baby "Chace Matthew".... I know I may sound like a broken record at times but I feel if I keep saying that it will help me go through this rough time! lol..

Sooo I have pretty much not worked the entire month of February, maybe a total of 3 days.... so I have been put on a medical leave and am going to have to survive on short term disabilty pay through my benefits for a little bit. Tomorrow I have another doctors appointment which should possibly shed some light on how much longer I will be off and to see if there is anything else that can be done to help me.

In my case "Morning Sickness" is an extreme understatement, instead of tapering off at 12 weeks it got worse from there.... Morning, Noon, and Night.... able to keep very little down! I am doing everything in my power to keep any kind of fluid down, to not to dehyrate. 2 prescriptions later and nothing is working ... the last prescription I was given was Zophran and it seemed to help for a day or two and then out of nowhere once again, stopped working and from this point on now everytime I try to take it- I cant keep that down either!-go figure! I have been doing some research and hoping that I am not developing "Hypermeisis" ( some pregnant women develop this, this being an extreme case of morning sicknees). So we will see what the doctor has to say tomorrow. I seem to be able to keep more down if I am not doing anything what so ever. But as I get up and walk around the dizzyness and headaches become more severe along with the vomittting. So Im not sure what is going on- possibly movement is too much with the combination of the dizzyness- fatigue-migranes and naseau.. causing vomitting? Not sure- I will say however- I have never ever spent this much time in my home without leaving it before lol I feel as if I am living as a hermit crab! lol

On the bright side, about a month ago Chris and I bought two shelves for the baby room and this past weekend Chris put them together!! Still waiting to determine sex of the baby before doing any kind of painting....here are some pics of the new shelves...






This past weekend Chris and my father in law- cut down a big tree in our yard, tree was dead and had to go.... after a huge bang that literally nearly had me fall of the bed- inside the house lol... I looked out the window and this is what I saw...

Stuff For Baby Banninger

Sooo I have been doing some research on various baby items...

After extensive research we have both decided that the Chicco "Luna" collection is going to be the travel system that we are going to register for. It has the best saftey ratings around, as well as modern and neutral..... its the best fit for Baby Banninger.....

I came across this modern bouncer by Fisher Price, It recieved wonderful reviews...

Features: Detachable Toy Bar, MP3 Input, Contoured Seat, Buckle Closure, Vibrates and much more!!!

Wow Mp3 Input!! Thats what Im talking about lol!!!



Not sure if this is the one we will for sure register for- we will have to wait and see!!! I think the back pattern might be a little girly, for a boy- what do you guys think???

Childrens Place is my fav.....

Here is a pic of the jacket I had mentioned in a previous blog. I have a feeling the Childrens Place is going to become our one stop shop! lol.... They have quality items, not to mention oh sooo cute items!! lol..... at the best prices you will really find anywhere!!! This is just one of the many items, we bought from there...



Small Paul Things are another one of my favs... I dont believe in the whole boys can only wear blue cliche' ...especially since a hot pink hat and gloves will look cute with this piece!! I cant get enough of this litte monkey!! soo soo cute!!

GoodBye First Trimester...

Oyyyy!! Its been rough- have not been able to keep much down lately- have been off of work the past three days and anxious to feel better soon!!! .... Good Bye First Trimester!! May the Second bring me some relief! haha.....

Also have been thinking about possibly planning a babymoon.... the last getaway for hubby and I by ourselves..... thinking a long weekend away from home, possibly May- but have not given it too much thought yet- so who knows where? Any suggestions??



Here is a pic of the bump- that came out of nowhere!! ....


3 months prego....

Nursery Sneak Peak

Sooooooo we are waiting for our 20 week ultra sound before we do any painting, at first I thought I would be ok with a gender neutral nursery but I have changed my mind.....For those of you know me- I love pink!!! and there is noooo way I would be able to live with myself if we were having a girl and this room could'nt be the girliest of all girlies!! haha..... and if it were a boy- Im thinking like an airplane theme? Maybe even sports!.....I recently purchased some crib bedding, the only reason I purchased it was because it was the one that I had wanted if we were doing a gender neutral room- the only reason I bought it myself rather than waiting for the shower is beause it was regular $209.00 and low and behold as I strolled through babies r us, found the last one on clearance for $67.00 for the 6 piece set!!! ... what a steal!!!! But as it sat in our nursery for a few weeks and I was thinking of paint samples- it didnt leave me a whole lot of options for decor since the theme was sooo specific.... so I returned it!! lol We have decided to wait until our baby showers to register for the bedding we decide we want that is gender specific.

7 more weeks and we will know if we will be expecting baby Kennley or Baby Chace lol and then the room will start from there!! ..... I did purchase a crib sheet that I could not absolutly live without!! It says " I love Mommy, I love Daddy" Mommy Loves Me, Daddy Loves Me" all over it..... (see below for a pic).

So far we have purchased a crib, and a dresser for the room. I wanted something simple yet modern and white for the crib- I have had my eye on the Ikea Gulliver Crib for quite some time- as well as it got wonderful reviews...... One day out of curiosity I started looking on craigslist.... I came across the crib I wanted BRAND NEW- IN BOX- INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED and all!!!!!!! for a measily $40 (See Pic Below) smackaroos!!! ..... Soooo we went the store and bought a crib mattress the next day. After coming across an amazing deal I have had my eye out for a dresser. The one we wanted retails at babies R us for around $500.00 ..... Sooo I thought,..... eh- why not? Im gonna scope out craigslist for a while and if I come across nothing then we will buy the one we want..... well........ We found a dresser- nearly brand new on craiglist- not a scratch on it- in mint condition which would easily retail for around $500.00 as well, and got another steal at $85.00!!!!!!!!!!! Then replaced the hardware to nickel finished knobs( see pic below)

Sooo far we are off to a great start and cant wait to find out the gender so I can really go to town with this room =)
