Week 19!
Wow I cant believe I am at week 19 now ... that is pretty scary because my to do list is still long. But im so happy that we have made it this far. Week 18 and 5 days I woke up with extreme vertigo ... out of the blue .. started vomiting immediately ... such an awful feeling. I cant sleep because I have to basically be at a 45 degree angle and on my left side. If I lay down flat it is much worse. I went to the ER and they said it sounded like positional vertigo. I went to my OB yesterday and he said its Maniere's Disease ... that is a scary name for vertigo. Im not sure I buy that its Maniere's Disease and that's that. So of coarse Ive been searching the internet for possible answers. Today i discovered something called Benign Positional Vertigo .. i think this is the closest to what I have. Plus it has a treatment of exercises. The meds the ER gave me dont really work for me ... which also says to me that it may be Benign Positional Vertigo. The good news is .. it has nothing to do with my pregnancy or the baby ... the bad news is .. i was trying to work as much as possible before November 15th to save money for the coming months. And now i really feel completely disabled. I cant function. As I type this my eyes cant focus and it feels like I am just not with it. Moving my head produces major spinning of the room and the immediate feeling of nausea and vomiting. Im so bummed. I really wanted to do all these last photo shoots and it looks like im done. I just need to finish up all my editing and get ready for the baby. I hope this goes away sooner than later!! Next Wednesday is the big day of discovering whether we are having a boy or girl .. I can not wait. My gut tells me its a boy. We cant agree on boy names and have a list of girl names.

So what is on your to do list before the baby comes?! I see this a lot and am getting worried I don't have a to do list lol What do I need to do?
ReplyDeleteThat's horrible about the vertigo - that's the worst thing ever, I had it a couple years ago. At least you have something to look forward to next week!
ohh well things have piled up since having Malia .. so i need to organize and purge like you wouldn't believe .. plus im moving the studio .. Morgans having surgery ... the list goes on and on! I also have a lot of editing since I have been so sick ... and wrapping the business up for bed rest. I feel like i want everything done by week 25 because I thought i had all the time in the world until she was born 3 months early! and i didn't own any baby stuff ... didn't have a baby shower ... nothing ... and spent the three months in sf .. so i still couldn't prepare. we had 3 days to do 3 months of work.
