This & That

Daddy-O update: Nothing really new – Found out that the break is a clean break and he will not sever his spine if he turns his head the wrong way. He will have to wear the cervical collar for at least 12 weeks but he should heal up ok. I am hoping…. I guess there is a ton of family drama up there. I will not go into it here…

How I am feeling update: I go between being queasy and feeling good. I had two dizzy spells yesterday. One was at lunch and the other was about 10 minutes after that. I called the doctor’s office and the nurse said it was probably my blood sugar since I did not eat from Supper the night before until Lunch. She said keep tabs on if it happens again and to make sure I eat. I just cannot seem to feel well enough to eat. Sometimes the thought of food makes me gag. Today I cooked crock pot chicken and I thought it would be good – but smelling it cook all day just made me feel sick to my stomach. I ate a few bites of chicken and some green beans — but that was about all. I sure hope this passes. As Angel Bunny wrote – over 10 weeks and Still having sickness – thank goodness I am not barfing every five minutes – Although I am having problems with the other end…. I know – Too much info. I am making sure that I am drinking TONS of water. I do not want to get dehydrated. That is my biggest worry right now.

Job Hunting update: I spent over 5 hours on the net today searching for jobs. I decided that this area is horrible for trying to find work. I also fixed up my resume and emailed it out to the Temp agencies I have registered with. I also sent of for my log in and password for E-Learning so I can move forwards with becoming a Microsoft Certified Professional in Office and Excel. I may just see what other classes they offer. Couldn’t hurt right? I am going to make a trip to Altamont Springs on Thursday to go to Apple One service to reactivate myself with them. They need me to come out to meet with a new recruiter since Jaquie is no longer working there. I will have to drive all the way there for a whole 10 minute interview. Well I am not putting make-up on – the moment any touches my face I break out horribly right now. Thank you, hormones. 😛

Other news: I am having my First Ultrasound on Friday. This will determine gestational age. I am torn between wanting to be due on April 16th or May 16. May 16th would be good because there is a temp job that I could have for a lady going out on maternity leave. And it pays $12 an hour. That would solve my money woes for now. And I should be able to sock some into the savings account. If I am due in April – they will not give me the assignment because she is not coming back from leave until the middle of April the chance for me to go into labor would make it so I could not fulfill the contract. So I am actually hoping for the latter due date.

OB Doc told me to talk to my neurologist to see if I could have an epidural and if I was a candidate for vaginal delivery. I was in an auto accident in July of 2000 and have several medical issues – Fibromyalgia being one of them, but I also have no curve in my back or neck and I have a torn disk at L5. I was dreading what the doc was to say about this. So I got the call back from my neuro’s nurse that said that I can have the epidural… But he recommends I have a c-section. At first I was really scared and worried. But my mom said that there have been hundreds of thousands of women who have had c-sections before me and there will be hundreds of thousands of women after me. She also said to me that c-section babies are much prettier than babies delivered vaginally… NO CONE HEAD!

Well that is all for now … I may write another entry in bit. You never know…….
