I absolutely LOVE how when a woman stands up for herself and remains strong in her beliefs is accused of being hormonal. Just because I’m pregnant doesn’t mean I have to forgo my personal ethics and be wishy-washy like the majority of society. I have independent thought and do not bandwagon. Call me a bitch. Call me stubborn. Call me whatever you want. But don’t call me hormonal. I’m like this ALL the time. But you wouldn’t know that as a faceless, anonymous internet user. Do not make assumptions based on your own actions.

As far as the pregnancy hormonal stuff goes, I haven’t noticed any of that anyway. Or maybe I choose not to use my pregnancy as an excuse to be a bitch to people. I haven’t cried at stupid crap on TV. I haven’t gone off on people for seemingly no reason. I haven’t experienced any mood swings. Of course, that could just be my bipolar medication keeping me level and sane.

Anyway, moral of the story: I might be a bitch but at least I stand by my beliefs and do not waver. If you don’t agree with them, fine. You don’t have to. Move along. I probably don’t need you in my life anyway.

I know I haven’t updated in a while but nothing much has been going on. I decided to develop hyperemesis and it’s been putting me THROUGH IT! I was vomiting nearly everyday after meals. It got so bad that the doctor sent me off to the ER to get some fluids. I’m taking phenergan with pretty much every meal to stave off the vomiting and so far it’s working. Still fighting nausea, though.

Today was our 15 week check-up. Everything is going great. I’ve gained 1 lb. since last month so no worries there. I’ve only put on 4 lbs. total since conception. We finally got to hear the heartbeat! Little One is running between 140-150 bpm and going strong. My blood pressure is doing good and so far everything is checking out fine. We drew blood for the tetra (quad) screening to check for any abnormalities. Everything should come out ok. I just worry with being on the Lamictal.

Our big ultrasound (gender check) is scheduled for July 3rd. We’ll find out if we’re having a Bella or a Billy! That’s pretty much it for now. If I don’t update sooner, we’ll see you July 3rd!
