I woke up this morning dizzy and disoriented. Even laying down, I felt like I was on a fast merry-go-round.Larry took me to the Doc and she said that it is not pregnancy related. THANK GOD!Once we found out, we were relieved. Vertigo, is an odd ailment. I feel very disjointed and off balance; even more so than usual! ;)The Doc gave me Antivert to take, but I am going to hold off to see if this will simply pass. Antivert is a more powerful antihistimine, like Benedryll. The Antivert can make one very sleepy and I really don't need any help in that arena.To read more about Vertigo, click on the link below.http://www.webmd.com/brain/tc/dizziness-lightheadedness-and-vertigo-topic-overviewOn a happier note, we got to hear the baby's heartbeat again! Larry taped it on his phone.Click the following link to hear the babies heartbeat.http://www.stpatsassoc.org/Joy/Baby/BabyHeartBeat.mp3More soon...
Right now I am finally feeling more normal and sleeping better. The 1st eight weeks were hell. Larry has been simply wonderful! I am so lucky that he is here to take care of us. He has not missed an appointment!I am still in school for a while... I think I may not go this spring or summer so we can prepare and get excited for the new little one...but Larry is very supportive and still wants me to go. :)We're thinking about the nursery and Larry has some home improvement ideas too! (Oh boy)We are officially 12 weeks along! Last Friday we were able to hear the heartbeat. Only one! Although twins would be a blessing, one is A-OK with me for now. On Feb 15th we are going to have an Amnio and genetic testing done. Not because we are worried about anything, but to take in all the information we can to prepare, if we have to. At that session we will have a Level 2 ultasound too! So soon, we will be able to post pictures! Ha!
Well, you've got Bradeglina, Bennifer, Changela (our pals) and SamandMella (more pals), why not consider ourselves LarJo?We are not necessarily "big bloggers..." but it will be a nice way to journal our journey, communicate with friends and family and allow you folks to be a part of this experiance with us. :) (We will be counting on you to help us raise this child too!)We are 12 weeks pregnant today and very excited to go to our 2nd OB appointment today to hopfully hear the babies heart beat and get an ultrasound! Perhaps I can post the picture of the baby, or babies, soon.... All our love,LarJo (Larry & Joy)
