6w, 1d

Good news all around! First of all, my computer problem ended up not being fatal so that is good. Also, now more pregnant than I have ever been.

Back to my appointment yesterday. The PA said I didn't appear to be that dehydrated. She could prescribe me anti-nausea meds and if that didn't help to call in on Thursday and she would arrange for me to go to the hospital to get pumped full of fluids. Or if I really wanted to go to the hospital yesterday and get pumped full of fluids that was fine with her too. I opted for the meds, Zofran. From what I have read online, most drs won't prescribe it unless you can't even keep down water but I was really happy that I didn't have to suffer quite so much first. I had been suffering enough. I also had some blood work done to make sure that it wasn't a viral or bacterial infection.

I took my first dose of Zofran yesterday evening. Thirty minutes later I ate my entire dinner which was incredible (in part because DH cooked it and I didn't have to). Then my sister stopped by with her kids and I went out in the yard with her and watered the garden and hung out with her in the heat. I also told her the news. I said, "The good news is that my illness isn't contagious. It is just morning sickness." She chuckled. Then looked at me and said, "Wait, are you serious??" We talked for a minute or so more at which point I told her it was twins. She shrieked and DH looked up from where he was in the yard and just smiled, because he knew what I told her. I still have to tell my brother (who has no desire to have kids) and DH has to tell his sister who is currently on her honeymoon.

I felt mostly good today. I did end up crashing after lunch. I ate more today than I have in the last three days combined. I even woke up this morning and didn't feel like death. My mom was still here to help with the kids but she isn't planning to be here much tomorrow, just long enough for me to go to my u/s in the afternoon. I showered today and did two loads of laundry. I went to my kid's soccer practice and took a little nap on the bench which would have been embarrassing had I not just been so exhausted.

Also really good news, I got a call from the PA I saw yesterday. My blood work showed an elevated white blood cell count. Good news? Absolutely! This means that I am actually sick with something in addition to morning sickness. Thank goodness because whatever intestinal bug I have will go away a lot sooner than morning sickness will. I do have to go in again for blood work tomorrow to investigate my high white blood cell count a bit more to make sure it isn't anything bacterial (thus treatable) or something major. I am thinking it isn't going to be a problem and now all I have to deal with is being insanely tired and randomly gagging. Looking forward to vacation again!
