I Need Some Prayers This Morning!

[janetupnorth]

Glad to hear the appts. went well...sounds like they are checking your appendix or other things for infection. I had a friend who had gallbladder problems all during pregnancy and was miserable and had to have it removed. Not fun, but all good today.Sea salt pita chips are a good snack too but not as cheap.

Kelly, glad things are better! We miss you, have fun at the zoo, feel better, eat your chips, drink gingerale and come back when you can!
I'm still praying for you.

I think when you are gone, I get a bad case of the crankies!

 

[pamperedlinda]

Glad you are feeling better.

 

[Ginger428]

So happy you're feeling better! Have fun tomorrow.

 

[quiverfull7]

Kelly... is that John Ball Park Zoo? I LOVED going there as a kid. Hmmmm, I bet it's changed just a bit! SO thankful you are feeling a bit better.

 

[baychef]

Here I am late as usual, but praying and wishing you well, Mama. Sounds like you have a wonderful doctor.

My newest consultant just found out she is pregnant for her first baby and is having a hard time being around food so she is not off to a great start. Those little babies are so darn cute, but they do make us sicker than dogs.

Rest when you can. (don't worry too much about the house!)

 

[raebates]

Glad to hear you're feeling better. I'll be praying that you're feeling great soon.

 

[chefmeg]

Mmmmm....chips. Well, if I *must* try them...


Here's my update!

Drs appt went well. Heard the heartbeat (yea!), and she wants me to go on Pepcid AC to see if that helps. I actually felt hungry around 11, so I ate some Ramen noodles before we went. They stayed down, and I am only feeling slightly nauseous. She did not seem to be concerned about the BH, but this morning I was getting a pain in my right side up under my ribcage, and she said for me to call them back if that starts radiating towards my back. Or to call if I don't feel better by Friday AM, or if I start running a fever. They took a urine sample, but she said it takes 2+ days to get it, so they may not hear anything till Monday...

All in all, I am hoping I am past whatever the heck it was....I just want to stop feeling like I need to carry a bowl around with me! lol

Plus, tomorrow we are headed off to the zoo, and I want to enjoy it! There's supposed to be really nice weather all day! Yippee!!



Ok...sorry, but I have to get right back off the computer. Seems like I have been gone all day again, and I have some things to get done so I can go to the zoo tomorrow, and so my girlfriend doesn't run screaming out of my house in the morning cuz it is such a mess!! lol I feel like I have been jumping on Chef Success for two seconds a day just to post about *me* and then ignoring everyone else...that's not what I am trying to do! Thanks again, for all the prayers and well wishes!

Kelly, Kelly, Kelly...if she starts to run, hand her a broom to sweep the floor on her way out! Seriously, I think if people are coming over to a pregnant womans home, especially one with another child, they should be expected to pitch in and clean up OR say absolutely nothing about the mess!!!
AND, if this is baby #2 (I think it is for you), just wait! the mess gets exponentially larger when that 2nd one shows up!

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

Kelly, did you enjoy the trip to the zoo? Akron or Cleveland?

I hope you're feeling better!

And I agree ... your friend should know what is going on with you and I'm sure she is more than willing to help!

Hugs to you ... how much longer do you have to go? I miss your little timeline!

Prayers going your way!

gallbladder problems

Kelly, sounds like your have gallbladder attacks! Very common I understand during 2nd pregnancies. Mine caused false labor all 9months, and I was sick with 24/7 from the day she was conceived. I lost 18pounds my first trimester and carried a bucket with me whereever I went... seriously. Ask your doctor.

Pears are really good to settle your stomic, as is warm Dr Pepper.

Good luck,

Carol

I will keep that in mind. Actually, my dr specifically mentioned my gall bladder...especially if I start to get pain around my side and into my back on the right side.

 

[KellyTheChef]

I wanted to give all of you another update.

I am feeling sooooooooooo much better!

It was the Akron Zoo that we visited.

I did not get my house cleaned to where I wanted it, and my friend didn't care in the least! I knew she wouldn't care...I just still like to clean up for company (plus it gets me off my procrastinating butt and makes me do it!! lol)

The weather was PERFECT, we had a blast, and I was NOT sick ALL DAY!!
Yipee!! I ate a lot today...was hungry about every hour, so I think my body wants to make up for those few days of not eating much...

I think I am about ready for bed, though...cuz I feel wiped out, but I will take that over puking anytime! lol

Thanks again...you guys are THE BEST! This is such a supportive group of caring PC people!! I love it!

Here's my ticker...I don't always remember to "copy and paste" and put it in...and I don't think there is a way to put it in my siggy. If there *is* a way, let me know!!

 

[Kitchen Diva]

Get some rest- you have a bun in your oven. When my aunt was pregnant I called her Auntie Peapod (because she had a pea in her pod so to speak) So I will call you Kelly peapod!

 

[raebates]

Glad to hear you're feeling better. I'll continue to keep you in prayer. After all, that's not just a bun you have in the oven.

 

[cwinter474]

Kelly, just incase watch what you eat. If it is gallbladder, fried foods will set it off.

Glad to know your better, hope it was just a bug or something.

LOVE your baby chart!!!

Carol

 

[dannyzmom]

I am SO late in stumbling upon this thread but I am glad you're feeling better!

 

[tabnat80]

Kelly-I am praying for you. Maybe your all day sickness is only temporarily. I was sick with my ds all the way up until he popped out. LOL Just know that that beautiful baby is growing every day and this too shall pass. On a high note, I lost 25 lbs before I started gaining and then only gained 20 so I actually walked out of the hospital skinnier than before. Just be sure to eat before you get sick and eat after you get sick and drink, drink, drink. Best of Luck and prayers coming your way!

 

[jbachen]

Hi Kelly, I haven't had much time to post lately, but I just wanted you to know I am thinking of you, and am glad you are feeling better!! Take care of yourself!

 

[krzymomof4]

I too just stumbled onto post. Glad to hear you are feeling better.
I was sick with 2 of the 4 boys and Cola syrup over ice worked wonders.
When my ulcer acts up and makes me sick, my dr. recommends peppermint, any way you can get it and it actually does help.

 

[quiverfull7]

Kelly... hope things are better today! When I still had my gallbladder, salads, cabbage and virtually all green veggies sent me into a major attack. Also apples. My sister had her attacks from the more fatty foods. Maybe keep a food diary just to see if it's fatty things or something else.

 

[Jess_K]

just thought I would put in my 2 cents.. I had to have my gallbladder out last fall , Peanut M&M's set my last attack off... the one that put me in the ambulance to the ER... my doctors argued that it might be acid refulx.... before they decided that my gallbladder was probably it... it's gone now and I feel better... but try to stay away from fatty foods still. good luck to you. Pregnancy is hard enough without complications ..

 

[jbachen]

Oh, and I just wanted to add that I had my gallbladder out after having the twins, and I never noticed that the pain was on my right side. It was pretty much all over for me, and so bad I couldn't really tell where it was coming from! So keep bugging the doctor if the pain comes back. All it took to diagnose my gallbladder was an U/S, although for me the babies were already out, so I am not sure if that complicates things. But maybe they can check the baby while they are looking!

 

[KellyTheChef]

Get some rest- you have a bun in your oven. When my aunt was pregnant I called her Auntie Peapod (because she had a pea in her pod so to speak) So I will call you Kelly peapod!

That's cute! We used to call Evan our little peapod, cuz when I had him all swaddled up, he looked like one! lol

 

[KellyTheChef]

Thanks again for all of the prayers and tips about gallbladder...so far, Thursday, Friday, and today my stomach has felt sooooooooooo much better! It's amazing!

Tonight, though, at dinner I just knew that the grilled chicken breasts would NOT sit well with me, so I just had some cottage cheese and peas (I just defrost them so they are cold...like on a salad bar and add them to the cottage cheese YUM!)

 

[susanr613]

Hi Kelly -

Glad you're feeling better and hope it's just a passing thing you can use to inflict guilt on the babe in later years ;-)

Just kidding - hope it's smooth sailing the rest of the way.

 

[Kitchen Diva]

Hey there Kelly peapod! Glad you are feeling better! And way to eat your peas! LOL

 

[dianevill]

Glad to hear you're feeling better, Kelly!

 

[Stephaniecafe]

Kelly! Isn't pregnancy one of those times when you are a pea pod, eat peas and then have to peeeeee! Glad you're much better! I was sick everyday until I delivered. I kept a little onesie on a hanger about the back of the toilet so I could remember that the sickness was for a good cause (not like cancer or something dreadful). Gave me some perspective. Didn't make barfing fun though. Anyway, glad to hear things are better!
