Goodbye Ice Cream

So since I got pregnant my relationship with food has not been so good. The first 4 months of my pregnancy I couldn't eat anything. My appetite progressively got better but now all I want to eat is sweets which is probably not the best thing to be eating especially when I am pregnant but it was nice to want to eat something. Anyway, I became best friends with ice cream. I probably could have eaten for every meal. But I had my first doctors appointment since my kidney stones this past week and we were discussing that little incident. He told me I should probably lay off the dairy a little. Paul decided to open his mouth and tell the doctor about my ice cream addiction and of course the doctor advised not to be eating ice cream. I could not handle that. I even told him I would eat my cereal with a fork. And to compound all of that I got a call a couple days later informing me I failed my one hour glucose test so today I had to go in for the three hour test. If that did not go well I really might have to say goodbye to ice cream for the rest of my pregnancy! I am crossing my fingers that I passed this one but I guess we will have to see once I get my results. But the good news is that the baby is healthy and doing well which is most important.

Snow Day!!

So this is not going to be very exciting for those of you in Idaho & Utah because you are all probably sick of the snow by now but today we had a real snow day. We probably got about 4 inches which may not seem like a lot but around here it pretty much shuts everything down at least enough that Paul & I could not make it to work. I was mostly worried about being out there with the other drivers after hearing about how many accidents there were this morning on the news. It is a good thing we had plenty of bread and milk because that is usually the first thing to fly off the shelves at the stores when there is snow in the forecast.We did not get to see any snow here last year and probably won't see anymore for awhile so we just have to enjoy it while it lasts which will probably only be until tomorrow.

Hospital Preview

Of course I am also a little late posting this but that just seems to be the way things are going right now.

A couple weeks ago I got a nice little preview of the "Labor & Delivery" in the hospital. Paul and I were just sitting there on a Sunday night just being our usual lazy Sunday selves when all of a sudden something did not seem right with me. I thought maybe I was getting a Urinary Tract Infection so I just thought I would call my doctor the next day and see if I could get in to see him. About an hour later the right side of my lower back started to hurt really bad and I was so uncomfortable. So I called my mom crying and asked what to do. She said I needed to go to the hospital because it sounded like I had a kidney infection. So Paul drove me to the emergency room and it turned out to be Kidney Stones. . They couldn't do a CAT Scan with me in my current state but they were pretty sure judging by my symptoms that is what it was. They put me on some morphine for the pain and transferred me to Labor and Delivery where I stayed all night and all the next day until I was released on Monday night. Everyone kept telling me that they have been told that kidney stones are worse then delivering a baby so I guess I am all ready for April! (There will be no pictures with this post despite how hard Paul tried to get one.)
