It's for real. We went in to the doctor for an early ultrasound last Tuesday after I had bad abdominal pain and bleeding when we were leaving Orlando. I couldn't believe it, I still can't believe it. Everything's changed. I had picked out the perfect stroller, nope that one won't do anymore (for those of you out there, the Uppa Baby Vista looked ideal). I was adamantly opposed to a c-section, not only will I have a c-section but I will probably deliver early and the babies may spend time in NICU. I was going to see my lovely, female doctor, nope now I get the male high risk doctor. I was going to work my butt off until the day I delivered to save money for the baby and maternity leave, now I will likely have to cut back on hours significantly before they even get here. It's a lot to take in. Before it felt surreal, especially because I had no symptoms of pregnancy, so it was a mind-body disconnect, I knew I was, but I didn't feel like it, especially didn't feel like I was having 3!
But now... I feel it. I got a cough/cold this weekend, and actually had a fever (I never have fevers). Everytime I cough it is body wrenching, and makes me want to vomit. I think the cough and morning sickness hit simultaneously, yay. I certainly don't know how much longer I can go on like this. Hopefully the cold goes away, but right now it feels like it is moving to my sinuses, so I'll have to check with my doctor to see what kind of antibiotics I can take.
I go to the high risk doctor TOMORROW, yay! Hopefully all three babies are still there and doing great. I have a long list of questions: our upcoming travel plans, suggestions on insurance plans (we're covered but wondering if we should switch), what to expect for my work schedule, antibiotics, radiation and gas anesthesia exposure, and lots more... I'll keep you posted!
