Blood Clots

Last week I had an appointment with a hematologist to confirm I am taking the correct dosage of lovenox and to discuss my history of blood clots. While I was there, my right leg appeared to be more swollen than the left and it was warmer. This caused some concern. My doctor sent me for a doppler of both legs the next day and praise God, no blood clots!!!!!!

I still have swollen legs, ankles and feet...but I think that it has something to do with the fact that I am pregnant :)

2nd Trimester

We are officially in the 2nd trimester (we'll be 15 weeks on Monday). I know that we are only a week in, however, my expectations for what the 2nd trimester is supposed to be like is currently no where near that! I thought that my nausea would be done, that I would have of made it through my pregnancy without puking and that all around I would just feel better. None of this has happened yet and then I began to puke---what is up with that?
My legs, ankles, feet and toes are swelling more now and it hurts. Flips flops are really comfortable on me, but without the support of shoe, my feet and ankles just swell more :( Oh well, it's just for one summer, right? :)

13 Weeks

We are 13 weeks today. I am officially in my 2nd trimester. I know that it is only the first week out of trimester 1, but I thought that I would be done with nausea. A couple of days last week I wasn't nauseous and I felt like I had my life back. I started to get a bit sick towards the end of the week. I ended up with a sinus infection Saturday morning, July 3rd. I called the PCP to ask what I could do for it and it was my choice between saline water or a neti-pot. As the day progressed, I had a bunch of food to make for the Saturday and Sunday parties I was going to. As I was making tortilla roll ups (with ham) I puked. I stepped away a few times because the smell was getting to me. I just took in deep breaths and continued on. Then I threw up and I was done. No more puking until Sunday. The first time was at home but the second time was in the car on the way to my brother's. Thank God I keep bags in the car otherwise we would have of had a big problem!
