Yesterday my mom and me went shopping up in Woodbury. I wanted to price out baby furniture and the other necessities that we are going to need. When I went to pick up mom, my dad told me that he wants me to pick out a crib that I like and he will pay for it. He said that it had to be new and not used! So one the one pictured above is the one I got from Target. It was steal and in the perfect color too! Brad and I were given a dresser by his grandma and it was a dark wood so i wanted to make sure that crib was a dark wood also. The color is called esspresso. I can hardley wait to paint now...i have all the colors picked out! I am so excited.

Along with getting the crib, I need some shirts and a pair of dress paints to wear to work and let me tell you....the pants are AWESOME!!! the feel like I am wearing comfy pants, I could wear them everyday! It was weird trying on the shirts though...it seems like I am never going to fill out the shirt. It was hard spending the money on them when I plan on only being pregnant once since we are adopting our second child.

Anyways, I had a great day shopping with my mom!

So I thought I would take a picture of my arms so you could see what the went through on Monday. Now the pictures don't them justice to how badly bruised they really are and they look worse every day.

So yesterday was a very eventful day for me and not all good either. So my morning started out like usually, I got had my bowl of cereal before I did anything else. I have gotten in the routine of doing this because I get very weak in the morning and have already collapsed in the shower once. scary I know. Anyways....I went about my normal routine getting ready and I was feeling fine until i was ready to put the dogs in their kennels. I started to feel faint, clammy, weak and sweaty. I know these signs very well so I had another bowl of cereal. After eating that i started to feel better so I went on my way to work, already running behind, I brought two gronala bars with me and my lemon heads trying to get mt blood sugar levels back up, but on my way into work it hit me. The weakness, clamminess, tiredness, sweaty, and neaseasness. I sat in my car for a few minutes to catch my breathe and started walking in very slowly. When I got to my desk I went to sit down and I collapesed right there. I started crying, i didn't think anyone heard me, so I tried to pull myself up and tell myself to suck it up, but then Ali came over and I lost it. I couldn't ignore the symptoms and I was scared for the baby. She brought me over to the ER (thank god I work in a Hospital). I could barely carry myself, Ali probably carried most of my weight. I went straight into a room in the ER and they hooked me up all the while just crying. They took my blod pressure which was 144/90 and high for me. Then they took my glucose level which was really high for at 157 because of all the food I was cramming in my system on the drive in. I couldn't stop shaking, crying. I was clammy, hot and cold at the same time. It was aweful. Ali called Brad for me and he was there within a half an hour. I could tell he was scarred. You can always tell in his eyes! I was in the Er for 3 hours. They tried four different times to get an IV in to me and after that they finally had lab come draw some blood. My arms are all bruised up and hurt and are unbelievable sore. It hurts to lift anything. Since they couldn't get an IV in me I laid there and ate toast and drank water until my color started coming back and my strength. Amanda let me have the rest of the day off and i was grateful. I slept from noon to two, until we had to leave for my OBGYN appointment.
Now this was my first appointment with Dr. Susa. I just love Dr. Susa. He is very down to earth and I am very comfortable around him. Which is a good thing since he has to look at my vagina several times throughout this pregnancy! We got to listen to the babies heart beat which was the most amazing thing in the world. Dr. Susa said he had a hard time finding it since the baby would sit still at all. You could actually hear the whooshing noise of the baby moving around. IT was amazing. He was also able to get me in for a free ultrasound. The baby is so big. You could actually count the fingers on little hand. I have a bunch of picture that he printed off for me. IT is the most wonderful thing in the world to see the little baby inside of you and know that everything you are experiencing is for the little baby!

So lately is seems like everything and everyone is pissing me off. Yes, pissing me off. I say one thing and it is like no one heard me. The only thing that makes me feel better is lounging on the couch with Brad. BUT NOOOO...he is outside doing whatever it is Brad does outside. I know he hates sitting inside with me when it is nice outside, but sometimes babe you just have to cave and sit inside with me okay! Let me tell you about what has pissed me off this week...
First I had a wonderful day to myself at home on Monday ( I took the day off) Did a little laundry, some dishes, but just basicly sat around on the couch with my puppies. Wonderful! Then at 5:30 I left to go over to Walton's for our weekly get together. Everything was goin great, super was delicious, then someone said "let's go on a walk" Oh crap....now I am not lazy, I just tire out sooner and when i go on walk with Brad it is a slower pace. I specifically said "not our normal long walk please"...guess what....long walk. My heart starts to race and I can feel it in my stomach like that is where my heart is. I do not like that feeling. It makes me nervous and uncomfortable and it is hard to breathe. yes, I could have said something but i already said not a long walk...no one listened. This is why I took myself out of the rotation. I will only be going when i feel up to parr. Now don't get me wrong...Jewells walked in the back of the pack with me and a slower rate but i think she is the only one who is going to have patience with me through this. I love all my friends, every single one of them just the way they are. but everything is pissing me off right now.
Second...Brad yells at me last night about the remote...the stupid remote. It wasn't turning the TV on and off, but everything else worked. So i told him to change the batteries.Well that was the stupidest idea he has ever heard of. He was literally yelling at me. This pissed me off. Well guess who was right...ME. Maybe next time he will listen!

Baby's Development
How your baby's growing:Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a fig, is now almost fully formed. Her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gums, and some of her bones are beginning to harden.She's already busy kicking and stretching, and her tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as her body grows and becomes more developed and functional. You won't feel your baby's acrobatics for another month or two — nor will you notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming.

Mom's Development
If you're like most women, you're feeling a bit more energetic now and your nausea may be starting to wane. Unfortunately, you may also be suffering from constipation (caused by hormonal changes, which can slow digestion) and heartburn (hormones again, relaxing the valve between your stomach and esophagus). Just remember, all this discomfort is for a good cause.Don't worry if nausea has made it impossible for you to eat a wide variety of healthy foods or if you haven't put on much weight yet (most women gain just 2 to 5 pounds during the first trimester). Your appetite will likely return soon, and you'll start to gain about a pound a week.
