Finally feeling human again

(or at least as human as possible when you're pregnant!)

Wednesday I finally started feeling better. That night we went to Legends with a couple friends. I decided to get a steak and steer clear of any greasy cheeseburgers. We ate at about 8:30 and I was perfectly fine, at about 2 AM I woke up feeling bloated. Like I had just eaten a feast 10 minutes ago! I got up and took some Tums and then went to the bathroom. At about 3 AM, the diarrhea came back. I then sat on the bathroom floor crying, praying to throw up. I was miserable! I've never had the nerve to make myself throw up, except when I was going through my eating disorders the only thing I could do was eat a teaspoon of salt to make myself throw up. I've never been able to shove my fingers down my throat. So I sat in the bathroom for about an hour just crying. Of course that upset my stomach even more. I went to work on Thursday, miserable as ever. I decided to make an appointment with the doctor since I'd been sick all week. I took a half day on Thursday and went to the doctor. The nurse was not able to find the heartbeat with the handheld thing. She told me not to freak out, but of course I did. Fortunately, the doctor came in and found it right away. It was in the 160's so I freaked out again but the doctor told me right about now is when the heartbeat should start going down a bit. Basically, she told me not to worry about the baby unless I'm cramping or bleeding. The baby is going to get what it needs from me, so it's going to be me who suffers. She told me to drink gatorade and water and eat anything I could. (Popsicles, applesauce, etc)

We bumped up our appointment on the 21st to the 15th (this Thursday.) I'm not sure if we'll have an ultrasound, hopefully we do though I'm not sure I want to wait until wek
