Long days

I am 12 weeks now, just one more week to go to be out of the first trimester! I already look pregnant...not sure if it's a second baby thing or bloating or what. I haven't exactly been watching what I eat - just eating when i'm hungry! But I'm afraid I have gained a little more than I should have! I want to start exercising again - something I have been afraid to do now after I spotted. Things look good now however so I think I should be okay.

I was so happy to not be on bedrest and able to relax this weekend - although I still had to clean the house and pick up. Everything started off prety normally until a little before lunch Leyla started telling me her tummy hurt. I thought maybe she was just hungry. Then she threw up. She threw up bubblegum and the little bit she had eaten at breakfast; so I thought maybe she had swallowed her gum. But she threw up again about 30 minutes later. And every 10 minutes after that...She is finally doing better (9:00 at night!) but I am exhausted! She has not eaten or drank since this morning around 11 or so and has thrown up if she tries. She kept asking me for water but would throw it up 2 minutes after. I was so worried about her getting dehydrated and the fact that she hadn't eaten.

We went to the pharmacy and consulted with the doctor and gave her a suppository for nausea and bought some nausea medicine. After that she still threw up but the episodes were being stretched farther apart and she seemed to hold down maybe a little liquid. We bought her some gatorade and she drank that, took her medicine, and went to bed. I think the last episode was maybe 8:00. I really hope she sleeps all night and doesn't need to throw up during the night - I am so worried she will get it all over herself and her bed or choke or something. But she was feeling better and I am happy she drank the gatorade and kept it down. The medicine is supposed to work really well so hopefully it will do it's job.

I have no idea what the problem is - she has had no fever, no diarrhea, no other symptoms. But she only ate the same foods that I ate, since last night! She may have eaten dirt or something outside but she said she didn't (If she understood my question). I just hope she is better tomorrow! I do not want to go through this again!

Baby update

I went to the doctor Wednesday because I had a bit of spotting. It is a little scary but I am trying not to worry too much - it has not gotten worse and really has gone away for the most part. I don't have any cramping or any other symptoms. I had some tests run yesterday and I think the spotting is probably due to an infection, not a problem with the pregnancy. Although, it is very important to treat an infection or it WILL lead to a problem with the pregnancy - and we don't want that!

I had an ultrasound and saw the baby. It was so sweet. He/She is lying face down and almost as soon as he/she popped up on the screen, i saw sweet little legs kick out against the wall of the sac! It was super cute. I think I can expect a very active baby...I was glad to see that the baby is okay. Here is a picture of the ultrasound:

Leyla Swimming

I had been trying to get Leyla to dip her face in the water for weeks - but she would only do it a couple of times singing "ring around the rosie...we all fall down" and never on her own. So at the pool in Roatan, I was talking to some friends while she "swam" but of course I had one eye glued on her the entire time. I'm glad I did because she stepped off the step once and I had to run and grab her - she wouldn't keep her floaties on for more than about 10 minutes! Anyway, I watched her and realized that she was watching JC (the other little boy in the video) go in and out of the water and under because she all of the sudden started doing it herself! All on her own! It was so cute to watch and I am so glad I had the camera handy!

Last day in Roatan

We are back in Catacamas! It was a fun, quick trip and I would have loved to stay longer but we always have to get back to reality. Here are a few last pictures of our stay.

 

 We went to a refuge for iguanas, apparently iguanas are eaten (guess they taste like crocodile meat?) so this place is to keep them safe. There were a TON.

 Family photo! I wanted to get the ocean in the background but there was too much sun. Anyway I like it cause we are all smiling!
