I haven't been able to update since Thursday and quite a lot has happened! On Thursday afternoon I started vomitting pretty bad. Like every 5-15 minutes without break for 10 hours. After some IV fluids at home I was able to sleep a bit but woke up Friday in extreme chest pain. After trying some at home remedies with no relief DH eventually brought me into the ER. They ruled out a heart attack right away and then later did a cat scan to rule out pulmonary embolism and aortic dissection. Luckily none of those are an issue. They still aren't quite sure what's causing my chest pain but I think it's likely a very pulled muscle in my ribcage. I was admitted overnight for cardiac monitoring and pain control. It's definitely been a trip being on the other side of the bed and not being the nurse. Good news was my beta came back good at 5408 so it's still going up appropriately. I'm really ready to see this little bean on Friday!
Apparently peanut butter is my first food aversion I ate some Reese's Cups yesterday with no problem, but I tried to make myself some PB toast just now and as soon as I opened the jar I gagged and almost threw up. I'm so sad. I love peanut butter. Maybe it'll pass soon.

That sucks! I love PB toast! I've had it most mornings recently! Hopefully this aversion passes quickly.
Glad it's not you heart kaliRN. Hope you get to feeling better.
amelandre *Gasps* Whaaaa? No PB?? I'm so sorry. The only food aversion I had last time was to pasta dishes, like casseroles and things. It was very strange.
DS has been up since 0630, but we're not quite ready to be up for the day, so we're all smashed into H's and my bed reading and/or surfing the web. H is making pancakes for breakfast when we all decide to get up and about.
The car is packed. I just have to shower, get ready, and finish up the food prep before I leave for the city. My best friend's baby shower is this afternoon. Can't wait to see her!
On another note, the bloat is for real! I had to buy a new shirt to hide it for today.
Sorry for your scare and mystery illness kaliRN. I'm glad your heart checked out ok and the betas are good. Do they think it could be the norovirus your H had?
Our little town has it's big celebration this weekend. The Swamp Cabbage Festival. Yep, they celebrate the inside meat of the sabal palm tree. You can eat it. We're going to the parade at 10 and then I hope to see the Clydesdales.
I barely slept last night and took a shower and read around 430. I was itchy, gasy, and had insomnia.
What is up with this early insomnia?? I started at 4 weeks and have battled it every night this week! Not even 5 weeks yet. Too early for debilitating symptoms. I thought I had another few days, at least.

Haha!
Where I'm from we have a Potato Festival. A week long festival to celebrate potatoes/the potato harvest. It's awesome.

The struggle is real. I'll be 5 weeks Monday and I'm the same with lack of symptoms except messing with my sleep. Well the gas and itching are pregnancy too.
kaliRN sorry to hear all that you've been through recently! Hope everything settles down and you feel better soon! MIL is coming today for a visit. She's nice and all but almost too nice. I feel like I have to be on my A game and all cheerful whenever I see her. And it's exhausting. Other than that nothing planned so hopefully just some relaxing! My sleep is all effed up too already. I can fall asleep normally but I'm up a couple times with difficulty falling back. Then at like 5 I can't fall back at all. Adios sleep, I'll see you in another couple years again.
Not to much exciting going on for us today. Probably will make a Target run, and then I am making dinner for my sister's vegan girlfriend. I've never made anything vegan so it should be interesting!

I'm another one with sleep issues. I tend to wake up between 4 and 5 every morning. It sucks when I don't have to be up early.
MH took DS to get a haircut, so I am enjoying some quiet. When they get home, we have to run to Target and Best Buy. I also plan on taking a nap. Today is the Red Sox ticket sale, so we'll be trying for our Opening Day tickets.

britta, one of the neighboring towns to ours has a potato and corn festival. I haven't been, but I love potatoes and really should check it out one of these years.

If it's anything like ours it'll be totally worth it.
There's also a HUGE Polish population so there's lots of beer and polka. There is actually a pavilion deemed "The Polka Pavilion" with live polka bands all day, errr day. It's the main hangout for pretty much everyone.

Went to target yesterday. I got the cutest fringe ankle boots (H says they're ugly, he knows nothing) and tons of long t-shirts. Really cute stuff right now.
I might need dis in my lyfe. Maybe DS and I will make a Target run while H is sleeping tomorrow.
The pancakes and bacon H made for breakfast aren't sitting well. I think it's more that I'm just not used to a big breakfast than pregnancy related nausea though. At least I'm hoping. I took a shower to see if it would help, but now I'm just hot and nauseous.

kaliRN, oh god, how awful. With all the vomiting, not surprised you probably pulled something. Glad you went to the ER though, always always better to double check with chest stuff! Hope you feel better soon~~
amelandre, no PB?! Heavens forbid, that sounds awful.
adouces06, if you ever need some good vegan recipes, let me know. I have vegetarian & vegan friends with a host of food allergies (nightshades, gluten, dairy, etc.) so I have a list of safe recipes for any crowd! Including some really delicious cake (just stick with a glaze though, vegan buttercream is blech).
Some girlfriends are coming over to play with hair and makeup styles for a wedding in April. Before that I'm getting my hair cut. Decided not to go super short atm, just a little below my shoulders for management purposes. Then home to make lemon cookies for the girls
I had someone come by early this morning for a life insurance med exam. The exam itself was easy, but not eating for two hours after getting up was painful.

Wow, kaliRN, how scary! I hope you're feeling better soon!
I went to the Garth Brooks concert last night and it was amazing. He's such a fantastic entertainer. I didn't want it to end! I didn't get home until after midnight (way past my bedtime - lol) We had a great time, but I'm absolutely exhausted today. I have no motivation to do anything, except lay in my recliner and try to take a nap. I did shower and get dressed. We're going out to an early dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse later, so I am looking forward to that. Yum.

Got back from my hair cut - DH hates it. That or he only dislikes it a little but he's frustrated with his game (he MMO's) and he's just in a towering temper for the rest of the day. *sigh*
Girls come over in an hour and a half, I need to clean and get some food in me. I guess it's time to Netflix Friends and tidy.
DS got the go ahead to basically eat anything at his one year appt, so we are trying some new things. I am so proud at the amount of food he just ate for lunch- 4 oz formula (because we haven't transitioned to milk yet), a whole grilled cheese, and a whole kiwi!

Wow what a good little eater! You will love switching to WCM. So much cheaper, even if organic.
kaliRN holy shit girl! Was it norovirus? Surely that can't be MS? Hoping your pain is just the rib muscle from yakking so much. Feel better.
