Albrecht Baby #2

We are expecting our second baby around May 2, 2011. I'm 11 weeks today and feeling slightly better then the past 5 weeks. I've been unbelievably sick this time around. (people keep saying that maybe it means I'll have a girl but I think that whooohaa.) After constantly throwing up I decided to drive myself to the ER at 3:00am one night. Bret was hunting...the story of my life ;) My mom met me there and stayed with me while they gave me IV fluid and zofran. Zofran is normally a miracle drug but didn't touch me that night. I had 3-4 bad weeks of throwing up multiple times a day and needing IV fluids, and then about a week ago it started getting a little better. At this point I would say I'm nauseated all day but can keep food down. I also started running again this last week, which makes me happy :)

I went and saw Dr. Taylor today. He always compliments me on my running and good health, makes me feel good. We finally heard the heartbeat with the doppler, which is always a relief and made me cry. It took him a while to find it and he was going to order an ultrasound, but luckily we didn't need it. I love hearing the heartbeat for the first time or really anytime. It's one of the first bonding moments I have with my baby, and reality hits that there is a baby inside of me. Gives me a more positive outlook on morning sickness!
