An Eventful Weekend at 19 Weeks

I started my week like this...

And it ended like this...

My 19th week of pregnancy was going great. On Friday night we cooked out at a friends house. It was a nice relaxing night. We were home early and I decided to watch TV and then head to bed. Around 11:00pm I jumped out of bed and headed to the bathroom where I began throwing up and didn't stop until 3:30am! I was then able to get myself to the couch. I tried taking small sips of water and with each sip, I began to get sick again. By 4:00am, I knew I had to wake Dave and head to the ER. I was extremely dizzy and knew dehydration was becoming an issue. Our wonderful neighbor came over to stay with Braiden and Dave and I headed to the hospital. They did blood work and a urine sample. Both checked out fine, just showing what I knew was a problem... I was dehydrated. I received fluids via IV as well as anti nausea medicine. Once they got me feeling better and made sure Baby #2 was okay, we were able to head home. Let me tell you, food poisoning on a regular day is no fun, but food poisoning at 19 weeks pregnant sure STINKS!

The Official... Big Boy Room

Braiden's Gigi recently came to visit. She spent two weeks here helping out around the house and spending time with her little man. We sure miss her when she's gone! While she was here I never once took out my camera. In fact, I've been horrible lately about taking pictures. During her stay, she was able to help me finish making Braiden's room a "big boy" room. We finally found a comforter and pillows. I love how it looks and I think Braiden loves his room as well!
Thanks for your help, Mom!

He LOVES laying on all of his pillows

Oh and maybe I forgot to mention... He LOVES sleeping in his bed and insists on getting into it all on his own!! We're all about Independence these days :-)
