Apartment and Queso Woes. :(

Okay, so on Wednesday I had my first appointment with the OB nurse, everything was fine and normal.  I go back August 8th for my first ultrasound with my doctor! So excited!

 After that however, things outside of baby decided to make everything more complicated!  I talk to the horrid people who run my apartment complex, and there is no way out of my lease until March.  I am due in March. Wonderful. So I asked if, since I'm prego and high risk, there would be anyway that we could move into a downstairs apartment.  The girl on the phone literally laughed at me. SERIOUSLY?  Soo NOT in the mood for that!  I have prego hormones out the wazoo. So, unfortunately, there will be no putting together of a baby nursery until after the baby is born.  I try to take a positive outlook and figure I can hold off on buying a crib and crib set until after the baby is born.  Or maybe I'll buy it and just not set it up.

Oh did I mention how that 100 degree afternoon when I had gotten home from the doctor that my lock was jammed, my key would not work, and NO ONE could come help me for like an hour.  Fortunately the hubby got home early that day.  They said they'd fix my lock.  They still haven't. 3 days later.  They are suppose to today, after it ONCE AGAIN happened to me.  We'll see.

AND they have been tearing down the walls to the apartments underneath ours for a week and rebuilding them, because they are rotten.  Do you know what that means?   That means the walls outside my apartment are more than likely also rotten.  Oh, and I no longer have a patio, because they tore that down too.  You know how I found that out?  My maintenance man walked into my apartment FROM MY 2ND STORY BALCONY.  No knocking. Nothing.  Just walked on in.  And No, that is NOT the first time he has let himself into my apartment.  He is a creepy stalkerish guy. 

Needless to say I HATE my apartment complex.  It wouldn't be so bad, but the people are so rude!


BUTTT, I've decided to take a positive outlook on everything.  I will be as super cautious as ever, but I am going to attempt not to worry myself crazy.  On that note, do be careful where you eat Queso dip! My favoriteeeeeeeee Mexican restaurant has amazing Queso, so I called today to find out if it is made from pasteurized milk.  It wasn't.  I was very sad for half a minute.  The worst part of this is that, of course, I have been craving Queso since day 1.  My friend and I were going to go eat there with her month and a half old baby, but we went to Outlaw's barbeque instead.  Another of my favorites.  Delicious. Amazing. :)  It's so nice to have a friend who just went through pregnancy to ask all kinds of questions to.   I should have taken a picture of her lovely baby, but I was too busy admiring her to think about it. :)

5 Weeks Officially! :)

     Wow! Today has been QUITE  a day.  I woke up with a horrible pain in my kidney, and because I only have one kidney I freaked out.  Unfortunately Jeremy had my insurance card in his wallet, and I couldn't go to urgent  care without it.  So after much back and forth he finally got to leave work and come with me to urgent care.  There they ran some tests to find I had a uti, and gave me an iv (for the light-headedness I've been having since finding out I was pregnant) and antibiotics in the iv.  She then proceeded to complete freak me out, because when she pressed down on my left side it was very tender.  She ordered some scans for me to have done at the local outpatient center.  I then waited for 2 hours to get back there. Once I got back there I found out that I am 5 weeks pregnant in my right uterus! The gestational sack is right at the size it should be.  I do have tiny cysts on my left ovary, which is why my left side was tender.  I go to see the OB nurse tomorrow, and I am so excited about this pregnancy!  At least some of my fears can be laid to rest.  Will keep ya posted! :)

     In the past 1 year and 38 days I have went on a first date with the love of my life, graduated college, got married, started a teaching career, and am now pregnant with my first child! Wow! It has been one crazy overwhelming year.  So now I'm going to share my journey so that all of my family and friends and anyone else out there can keep in the loop. :)  I go to my first doctors appointment on Wednesday, in two days!  I am really really nervous. 
     I have been diagnosed with Uterine Didelphys, which basically means I have two uteruses, or as my sister refers to them my uteri. I also have two cervixes.  My uteruses are slightly smaller than the average uterus so I have an enhanced risk for pre-term labor.  I wanted to create this blog partially for those out there going through this same kind of thing. When I was diagnosed I was terrified I wouldn't be able to have a baby, and now that this unexpected little miracle has been conceived, I am incredibly nervous. 
      In terms of anyone with a regular pregnancy there are soo many things you can't do!  I never even imagined.  My little miracle was unexpected, but I am sooo incredibly excited, and terrified of doing something to mess it up.  Here is a  list of the following things I had no idea you couldn't do or eat while pregnant:

1. Eat deli meat.  Goodbye Subway. :(
2. Eat queso from Mexican restaurants.  Goodbye El Parian. :(
3. Drink Caffeine.  Okay technically you can do this in small amounts, but I'm not taking any chances.
4.  Take long hot showers, or baths.  eek!
5. Sit a computer on your lap... again not proven... but no risks.
6. Have unprotected sex--- okay this just applies to those of us with Uterine Didelphys, but still! Isn't that suppose to be one of the positives of pregnancy?


     But none of that matters. Not even a little bit.  Because this little baby in my tummy has become my whole life and heart already.  Everything I do for the rest of my life will be for my baby.
