Finally coming up for air
Ugh, I have been so sick. It was partially because of the UTI but mostly I think the medicine for it was what was making me so sick. By Sunday I couldn’t even keep any food down let alone the meds. I didn’t think this was morning sickness because it was way worse. Sure enough, when I stopped taking the medicine I started feeling better. I called the midwife this morning and she gave me the go ahead to stop taking it despite the fact I had 3 days left. I have missed 5 day of work because of this! I’m so happy to be feeling better!

We saw our baby move yesterday! We had our first OB appointment and a tour of the Birthing Center at Robinson Memorial Hospital in Ravenna. I was nervous about liking the nurses and doctors because I didn’t want to continue to OB shop.
