6/17/12 15w2d preggers!
Ok so I know I haven't been on here for a while but, I've been a little sick and to be honest I just don't get on here like I use to. If anyone wants to add me on facebook they can look me up by my email jalifilo91@hotmail.com or just Jalina Filomeno. So today I am15w2d! :D I'm really excited about finding out the gender in only 9 days! I kinda think I'm having a boy, but then again I still dream/think about a girl to, so I have no idea lol. But, like I said I have been sick. I went to the Dr 6 days ago cause around Friday of last week I started to get a tickle feeling in my throat like I had a hair and I knew that I was about to come down with something. By Saturday night, it felt like I had a piece of glass in my throat! I woke up in the middle of the night and I guess cause my throat was so dry, it felt 1000 times worse... so bad to the point that I was thinking about going to the ER. I could had sworn up and down it was strep throat. Well, I went to just my family Dr Monday morning and well I don't have strep. He says it was just a sinus infection. So I was prescribed Amoxocillin and then a cough suppressant. When I got home I called the baby Dr just to double check on the meds and I'm kinda glad I did. He says the amoxocillin is okay, but the cough suppressant I was prescribed had hydrocodone in it! He says it is a "class C" medicine, meaning that I shouldn't take it unless it's necessary. So I have been taking a little bit of it. The dosage says 1 tsp every 4-6 hrs for cough. All I've been taking is 1/2 tsp before I go to bed cause that's when the cough is the worse. So, I don't think it's something that could cause birth defects or m/c or anything, I've just heard that if you continuously take hydrocodone that the baby will be born with an addiction to it and will have withdrawal symptoms. But it sucks though that there isn't much I can do for the cough. After a week and 2 days, I'm still coughing and it sounds like a lot of congestion in my chest but it won't come up :(. But it is getting better though.
At work, things are getting so f'ed up! They are changing so many things now it's ridiculous! Now, you can't eat anything at your desk (cause some ppl don't know how to use the trashcans)... so now when I get that mid-morning stomach growl, there's nothing I can do about it. Also you can't have any books/magazines at your desk anymore. So when I am making phone calls I have nothing else to do but stare at the computer screen for 8 hours a day. And it makes the day super long cause only 1-2 out of 100 ppl answer their phone. UGH. Then my manager stepped down and there is a girl in her place that is a manager in training and she is okay I guess... but just a boring person, there's no motivation. And being on the phone with these crazy psycho ppl all day, we need some encouragement and motivation. I keep a pic of my u/s on my desk cause these days, that's the only thing that keeps me going. Then now we have certain things we HAVE to say on the phone cause if we don't, we will lose a portion of our bonus check. Well, I haven't had a bonus check in 2 months! Cause they are changing the rules so much and it just makes it that harder to collect money. I have seriously been thinking about another job. I know I won't find another one with as much income as I get at this job, but at least it won't be so stressful. I will lose my health insurance, but then I could get on tenncare, wic, and foodstamps. Heck, I wouldn't be ashamed to be on foodstamps... I wish I could qualify for them now the way food prices are these days. I hate spending money on food. But, oh well.
Another thing.... we are planning on going to Memphis the day of my u/s in the afternoon to sign the contract with the lawyer. I've been calling and leaving messages but he hasn't returned any of them yet. I am getting scared cause Pablo's "removal hearing" is Dec 19 and if we don't get on with the process of things, then we are not going to have enough time. The lawyer told us if we are going to try to keep him here, then we need to act fast... that was 2 months ago in April. Pablo cries all the time cause he fears he is going to get deported and not ever meet his child. The baby is due Dec 7th so I'm pretty sure he/she will be here before the 19th. But the lawyer also said that if we retain him, he may be able to reschedule the court date till Dec 2013. But the process still takes 2-3 yrs till Pablo will have his green card. I've just been hoping and praying that everything turns out good and he can stay here. Not only for his child, but for me cause I love him so much and everytime I lose him, I lose a part of me. Well, I guess this is all for now I don't want to get myself worked up too much.
Oh, and on another note.... I "think" I've felt the baby move already! It's happened 2 times within a week. It felt kinda like a flicker in my stomach. It was weird. I kinda thought it was a twitch, but usually when you have a twitch like in your eye or finger it has a steady rhythm to it. But this was like thump, thump and then really fast thump thump thump. I think it was the baby, but it could had been something else but I wouldn't know what. It's like I've never felt the feeling before so I can't really compare it to a gas bubble or anything. But anyways.... this is all for today I will probably update when I find out the sex, if not before then!
