Uh, Oh.... Pink Eye

I had a horrible weekend dealing with pink eye that I picked up from my OBGYN's office on Friday's visit. The pink eye was pretty bad Saturday and I was one miserable person. I was worried about having pink eye and being pregnant. I didn't know what affect this virus could have on the baby. Of course, my OBGYN's office was closed so I had to call the emergency line which turned out to be a waste of time. The on-call doctor at East Jefferson Hospital was absolutely no help and rude and had the attitude that I was bothering her on her Saturday. I had to make the decision myself of whether to take the over the counter medication that my primary doctor told me to use. It turned out that this medication was safe after speaking with my OBGYN's office on Monday morning and complaining that the on-call doctor sucked. Anyway, the good news is that the virus does not have an affect on the baby and I am doing alot better today.

8 Weeks - First Prenatal Visit

Today Kevin and I had our first prenatal visit. Happy to say that everything looked great. The baby was the right size for 8 weeks 3 days (1.89 cm) and was very active. We did not get a good ultrasound picture. There was a shadow from one of my organs that was bouncing off of the baby. So I have a picture of a blob this time. But comparing to other ultrasounds pics on the internet, I can make out the baby. The doctor has me going back to see her again on July 10th. She told me that this visit I should have a better picture of the baby. I can't wait for my next visit!!!!So far, everything is going great with my pregnancy. I am having nausea off and on at times, but not too bad. I am still feeling tired, but that has also been better. I now manage to wait to 10:00 p.m. to fall asleep instead of 8:30-9:00.
