Week 10

So we definitely had a scare yesterday. We spent all day at two different urgent cares. The first place feared we had an ectopic pregnancy, but after the ultrasounds at the second location ectopic was ruled out. They found a large cyst and said Tylenol would be the only thing I could take to stop the pain. I am actually allergic to the active ingredient so I have to go through this whole pregnancy in pain. I hope it subsides.
I also have had a food allergy to dairy, but since we became pregnant my allergy has worsened. I can't even enjoy almond milk without getting itchy. Not dairy, but the nuts... Giggity. Soy milk, here I come.
Because of my health issues, most I refuse to go public with, I will be heavily monitored throughout the pregnancy. My biggest concern is being out of breath. I have to coach myself on breathing since I've already had issues stemming from my birth defect, pectus excavatum. It's scary, but I have a wonderful team behind me: my husband, family, friends, midwife, and doctors galore.

Well I'm off to the dentist, and then outro to the midwife.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!
Baby, we can't wait to hold you!!

This week

On Monday before finishing up at Crowbar, I had to drop James of at the airport. I always hate when he leave because the house always feels so empty. No one to cook for, no one to annoy... Anyway. I ended up dying my hair and chopping off all the dead, which left me with a pixie cut. I took a picture after I colored it, but not after I cut it.

On tuesday I had to go to the dentist for a root canal and crown. Ended up leaving about five hours later. I had multiple rounds of shots because I still felt them drilling my tooth. Talk about pain. More rounds of shots for me turned br00tal; I was shot in my muscle and my jaw ended up locking. I didn't realize it locked til I tried opening my jaw and bit the dentists finger. I felt soo bad. I get home, and my brother n his girlfriend notice some discoloration on my lip. I ended up pulling a vein out of my lip, a bruised tongue from them accidentally hitting it or me biting it, bumps all along the inside of my mouth from some sort of allergic reaction, I presume, and massive swelling on my jaw, leaving me to drink my meals. I swear my body is the worst when it comes to healing.
You would think I'd be angry over this. Actually not even close. It's out of my control at this point and all i can do is do my best at helping my body heal.
I am so excited I finally have a whole tooth in the back of my mouth! I can't wait to have my first meal where I can actually chew shit.
I love my dentist and regardless of what went down I still think they did an incredible job and are the nicest office I've ever visited.
