A solution....

This is the solution that I discovered for work when the warehouse workers are using toxic fumes! It totally works! LOL!

Week 7 Day 5

My mom just text me to let me know that we will be starting up again at the gym starting Monday! Yay! That makes me happy! I missed going to the gym. I feel like in the middle of the night when I need to roll over, it is much harder to get myself to move. I have noticed that I have been stuck in one position longer than usual without moving which has been causing muscle soreness. I can imagine that it will only get worse as I get further along. Lovely. : )
Symptoms: Weak, tired. Hard to focus and think clearly, attention span very short. Have to pee a lot! Diarrhea.
No more nausea, just feel icky if I wait too long to eat. My breasts are almost to their regular selves, except slightly bigger (on and off soreness, but not very often anymore.)
Weight: 258

P.S. Only 6 more days until my next Ultrasound! Wahooo!!! I pray that they baby is healthy and we get to hear the heart beat!

P.P.S. Thank you to my sister for letting me use her Doppler.  I can't wait until the baby is big enough when I can listen to its heart beat every night before I go to bed! haha!

Week 7 Day 3

I have been more weak lately... I am pretty sure that I had a yeast over growth in my tummy from the antibiotics my OB put me on for the UTI I had a couple of weeks ago. i have been taking my probiotics twice a day which is helping my tummy not be so bloated, but its not getting the weakness to go away fast enough!!! I feel awful! I've had Candida before and I really don't want to experience that awful disease ever again! I don't know what else to take that will help  with killing yeast without killing my baby and getting rid of the sluggishness! I hope it goes away soon! I already am weak and exhausted from pregnancy let alone the additive weakness and achyness and sensitiveness from the yeast! I feel horrible!!!! Also, yeast causes bloating so I have it twice as bad from that and normal pregnancy bloating which caused new stretch marks! Grrr! I couldn't catch them fast enough.... well, here we go.... once they start, they don't stop! I've been putting cream on them twice a day, if anything, it will help them turn from purple to white sooner once the baby is born, keeping them hydrated that is... Anyway, hoping i can overcome this soon! This is worse than when I was nauseous! Well, count my blessings.... at least I am not nauseous on top of this! Haha!

7 Weeks 3 Days

The bloat went down a bit, apparently I had some yeast build up in my tummy that I think is pretty much gone down now. Look at the difference between week 6 and week 7. WOW!

6 Weeks 0 Days:

I cant believe that I still have 17 days until my next ultrasound!!! Especially since I only saw the gestational sac, I'm extra anxious to make sure that there really is a baby in the oven! I'm thinking that on Tuesday after presidents day, I'll call in to see if there were any cancellations for the week prior to knock off a couple of days.... My doctor usually likes to see her patients between their seventh and eight week, I however couldn't get in until my ninth week! So a cancellation would be great!

5 Weeks 7 Days:

I'm worried about these killer cramps!!!! No bleeding though, I find myself rushing to the bathroom just to make sure.

Today at work the warehouse guys were using a really strong lacquer for some merchandise. the fumes were so strong I was worried that it would hurt my baby. I received special permission to leave work. Thank heavens! The smell and fumes were making me sick!

Kellie Lambert's Response: I cannot wait to hear about your next ultrasound!!

As for the fumes... I worked with the same chemicals while prego with Brenlie. I wore a mask most of the day. The first tri is the most critical. Be careful!! It sucked but was well worth it. Just stay away from the screening glue. It's the worse.

My response to Kellie's: That's what it was, but a new kind that is way worse than the kind they used before.  on the can it says WARNING: Toxic Fumes. Duh!!!! No way am I going to stick around. If I could just stay in the showroom every day all day long I would be fine, but Friday they had all the doors to the showroom open and when I got back from running errands it was everywhere! No Thanks! I went home!

5 Weeks 5 days

Symptoms: EXTREME exhaustion, sore breasts; tingling and stinging., Slight Nausea; not too bad. Sharp and dull cramps, Bloating.

I had to tie a hair tie around the button of my pants to allow an inch slack. My pants are starting to feel tight and the extra pressure of my jeans are getting uncomfortable; it was the perfect solution.

Current Weight: 259! Yay! lost 2 pounds! : )

5 Weeks 4 Days

My mother and I usually go to the gym together theree days a week. It has been so good because feeling so sick, I otherwise would not go by myself! She comes to pick me up at 5:20AM, we usually stay until about 7:00 AM. I then get to work around 8:30. It has been PERFECT to help me keep my weight down, after all -- Only 10 pounds to gain, only 2 or 3 by week 20.

Last night she called me to tell me that her doctor forbid her going to the gym or other highly populated places because her immune system is so bad and it keeps causing her problems!!! Blah!! Super disappointing!!! Lets get realistic, there is no way with this nausea and extreme exhaustion that I will get my butt out of bed and go by myself! My husband volunteered to move the elliptical out of the storage room and set it up in the movie room with my yoga ball and other extremities! he is so sweet!!! This morning  so far so good. I may not have the energy to drive myself to the gym, but I can at least march right downstairs and crawl onto the elliptical! LOL! In April, back to the gym with my mom when her lungs have time to heal. : )

5 Weeks 2 Days

I had my first appointment today. Everything looks fine. I am already overweight so the doctor said that i can only gain 10 pounds total! Jake was a 10 pound baby and I was a 9 pound baby, so I'm not quite sure how i am going to manage that. I've been working out 3 days a week and have been trying to eat very healthy for my little one. (only a few slip ups, but with caution). The ultrasound room was available so just for fun we decided to try and see the baby, it was too soon, we only say the gestational sac. They also found a cyst on my right ovary the size of a pin pong ball! Youch! my sister said that its normal and that she had one too... I just want my little on to be healthy and strong  GOAL: to loose 5 pounds before my next appointment. March 5th, I will be 8 weeks and 4 days by then. Weight 2/11: 261
