Week 17

Baby Meyers is about the size of an onion

This week was a little difficult at the beginning. I did go back into the hospital on Monday night and was released on Tuesday morning. It was a little bit of a scary experience when the nurse blew a vein in my hand. I'm terrified of needles and I was essentially living one of my nightmares. But I was able to tough through it with the help of my wonderful husband and lots of praying. This time was a little different. Usually as soon as the IV goes in, I stop throwing up. This time that did not happen and I even threw up after a liter of liquid was in, and both nausea meds were in. I asked for the other one they also usually give me but they refused and sent me home before I stopped vomiting. I vomited within the hour after they sent me home. Luckily with lots of sleep and prayer, I woke up later that day feeling much better.

This week, baby's kicks became VERY noticeable. Hard to miss, really. My husband has been able to feel them finally when he puts his hand on my belly. They are still pretty faint to him, but let me tell you I definitely feel them! It's so wonderful to feel those movements and kicks. 

I went to a nutritionist on Thursday and got some really good advice on how to get calories and vitamins. I need to get into a better habit of drinking water though, so I have to be better. I bought a gallon jug again and my goal for each day is to drink one full gallon. 

 That's about it though. This week went by pretty quick and was a low key rest week for me. I got a couple of callings in my ward and I was able to make it through three hours of church this past Sunday and do one of my new callings. Relief Society Chorister! I love being a chorister. It's easy and I get to be involved with the music. My favorite calling I've ever had besides on my mission was ward chorister. I loved that so much and learned a ton from it.
