Pregnancy
Im 8 weeks today, I thought I would do a blue since there is that chance I might be carrying a little brother....
I also stayed home sick today, I hardly ever do that, but I just didnt feel good, I have a cold, and Im a little overwhelmed at the moment
My last pregnancy I hit a depression from Sept- Nov... I lost control of my house and my tears and all my connections I needed. A friend came and helped me get organized again and set me on the right track.
Well I look at my house and I start to see it unravel again, Ive been exhausted and tired and work and zack and school just makes it sooo hard. So Matt and I discussed it and Im getting rid of one of those things that is making difficult and since there is only one I technically can get rid of I dropped A and P 1, Im putting Hygiene school on hold for 1 year. It still fits into about 5 years but I am taking this year off to be pregnant and have a baby like most people do.
I already proved I could go to school and have a baby and finish a degree, i dont feel like I need to show I can do it again. I already have a degree and a job going to school is just to advance farther, this year i just want to be mommy and it feels so good to not have to go to school.
I went Tuesday night, that class would kill me if I drove all the way home, I would get home at 11, I NEVER go to bed that late, Im in bed by 9pm kinda person and have been for a long time, we get up at 530am I need LOTS of sleep. Second, I could not stand the teacher, his style, or even the layout of his syllabus. Everyone had questions because his "simple" layout was so frickin confusing.... the lab was entirely too long for a first day, no directions really, with a get done what you can and hand it in... what? Im not learning. I bought your stupid (150) textbook ( which I will not be able to return) so we could have it if we went to "medical or dental" school..... look at your group! Half of us are over forty half of us have kids and full time jobs and the other half of us are ghetto fabulous, we are in a night class, at a community college, none of our goal is to make it to medical or dental school. ( he was a chiropractor and also went to medical school or something) He also wanted us to buy another atlas and the coloring book.... totaling 250.00 for that class.... community college class. Anyways the moment he began talking I knew it just wasnt going to work. Matt okd it, and its done. I didnt read chapters 1 through 4 last night, I dont have a quiz on chemistry tonight and I dont have a worksheet due on Tuesday.... yeah!
Matts parent also want us to start paying them back the money they owe them.... we were planning on it, but just when we were financially ready too, we are not. They do not need the money and if they did it would have already been paid back. This is the reason I didnt want to borrow money from them in the first place... I do the bills not Matt, Im paying the people who need to be paid the ones that wrecked my credit, and I wasnt going to start to pay them back until I paid off most all of our credit cards.... I know Ron brought it up because its soon to be tax season, but get your grubby hands off... every cent goes to Providian who is charging me 32% interest and wont lower it, a whole year of not using, paying on time, anywhere from 230-250 with my balance going down 1000.00 sucks. Ive talked to them, I wrote them, now we will just pay them off at tax time.
Matt went to the dentist on Tuesday and he had two cavities, which is good for Matt, but they told him he will never not have cavities, or bad gums, and will start to lose his teeth if he doesnt get braces...
Matts parents asked him if he wanted braces when he was like 14.... asked him. He said no like most 14 year old boys would if given a choice. So they took that as "Ha we dont have to pay for it" Im a dental assistant and an orthodontic assistant, you dont ask little children what they want, because they would choose not to have the cavity filled, the tooth doesnt need to be pulled, I dont want braces they hurt, you tell them... youre the frickin parent there isnt a choice in this.
Now we are stuck paying for braces, at age 25 and the severe crowding he has he will have them on for at least 3 years, and of course he is over the age limit for most dental plans with some orthodontic coverage. Fee at the Smile Center $4280.00 with a $250.00 Records Fee... yikes... who thinks we should just deduct the cost of braces from what we owe the Schaefers.... we would be paid in full almost times 2.

7wks 2days
So I had my ultrasound on Thursday and I was measuring exactly where he thought. But when you take the measurements of all the stuff in there I was 6wks, 7wks, 10wks,7wks... anyways due dates given were between 8/27 and 8/30 so Im going to stick with 8/28 because its the coolest one. Baby had a heartbeat, but he said something about my uterus being large and tipped or inverted or backwards or something that would make it difficult to hear the heartbeat through the stomach until later than normal. So my next appt is at 11 wks so hopefully they can hear it then. I got pics, but at this point it is still a blob. At first before he zoomed in he thought maybe twins, but it ended up being a yolk sak.... thankfully. I did bills today that sucks I didnt feel good with that persciption of progesterone so all I paid so far this month was the mortgage so I had like 7 bills that had been due before today.. o well they got paid. Plus My work is changing the pay period and I wont get paid again until the 31st which sucks and my bonus was little compared to last month. Anyways at Bennigan's for dinner last night and I got the best comment ever.
I should write a book on parenting... ( ha if they only knew) They said this because Zackary likes to place his own order and gets very angry if I order for him. So when the waitress came to our table to order I looked at Zack and said tell her what you want....
" I want broccoli and mac and cheese please" that simple, but the lady was shocked and said he was the most well spoken little kid she had ever seen. She asked the secret and I told her... He is the only grandchild on every side and is spoiled rotten. simple as that.
I know Zack is smart I dont need people to tell me, but its nice when strangers do.
I dont think I want to do pre-school screening with him either.... they are suppose to do at 3, but I dont see the point. I dont think he will go to preschool because of 1) our schedule 2) I still dont know where daycare will be when the new baby comes.... plus I know Zack is smart, as smart as other three year olds at least.
Anyways I think its Old Spaghetti Factory tonight.... yipee.

I dont know if I will make it tonight
For the last week my bedtime has been between the 6pm and 7pm hour, with me climbing in bed at around 530pm. I either watch a movie with Matt and Zack or have them play in my room so I can at least pretend Im participating. Tonight will be rough. Im scheduled my first evening shift since August..... 3pm to 9pm. With me getting home at 945pm. Thats 3 hours past my bedtime. I will also have to get up at 530am for work tomorrow. Im very worried about driving home... I seriously can not keep my eyes open once 630pm hits, besides I can not eat past 5pm due to not feeling well. Apparently all these exhaustion and nausea side effects are amplified by the prometrium I am taking. (Its the extra progesterone he prescribed until my labs come back to make sure I dont loose the pregnancy from low levels.) Which sucks because if my prog. was low I have to take this rx until 10wks. Which means 6 o'clock bedtime until 10 wks.... I havent got a call so I will probably find out Thursday at my ultrasound. My other fear..... My Tuesday night Anatomy and Physiology Lab it starts at 8pm and goes until 950pm which means I dont get home until 1045!!! That will suck. That starts next week.

Im just soooo tired
I haven't updated in awhile because I have been so tired... very. Zack wasn't feeling good the week after Christmas and I was up with him every night, so frankly I wasn't feeling good either. I was tired, I wasn't hungry but I was, my boobs hurt.... oh yeah because I just went to the doctor yesterday and confirmed I am 6 weeks and 1 day pregnant! Oh yeah, what the hell???
I've known since Friday the 28th and was able to keep my mouth shut until today, unlike the people that knew..... I finally got into Dr.Wust Friday and he placed me at approx. 6 wks 1 dy. These are all estimates though being I was on BIRTH CONTROL. I have an ultrasound next Thursday at 7 wks, to confirm my due date, but he thinks we are pretty spot on.... Baby Schaefer due 08/28/08 !!!!!!
Here is my time line for ya.......
Nov 9th - First day of my last menstrual cycle
Nov 16th- Day 8 of my cycle, Dr. Wust calls asks if I would like medical intervention, I believe my thought was Hell Yes. He states its a little late in the cycle but we will try. Prescribes Tamoxifen ( normally taken days 5 through 9) I start that night
Nov 17th- Day 9 Tamoxifen
Nov 18th- Day 10 Tamoxifen
Nov 19th- Day 11 Tamoxifen
Nov 20th- Day 12 Tamoxifen
Nov 30th- Day 22 Blood Test to check my progesterone level
Dec 3rd- Dr.Wust left message my prog. was a level of 1 very low, asks if it was a natural cycle it was so low.
Dec 4th- Got a hold of Dr. Wust thinks it would be best if I went back on birth control for 2 months to reset my cycle, at the second cycle we will try clomid. Prescribes a high dose BC pill. I start taking that day
Dec 6th- Matts Bday ( wink, wink)( also one of the only times Matt gets lucky this month.)
Dec 25th- CHRISTMAS!!! I start taking my placebo pills today pretty soon AF will be in town
Dec 26th- NO AF but it always took a day and half for it to start.Matt brings home Umbria ( my fav. pizza) force down a piece and half. we go to bed at 8. Zack was up every hour with a fever and stomach ache, and he rolled on my boob and it hurt, really bad
Dec 27th- Im exhausted I was up all night with Zacky, NO AF, We have Chinese my other fav. barely finish my plate, go to bed at 8. Im coming down with whatever zacky has, I think. Zacky tells my as I lay in the chair... Mommy you have a baby in your tummy, No not yet zacky.
Dec 28th- Still No AF, Im tired and my boobs really hurt... I talk to Nikki she says take a test when I get home.... why it would be impossible for me to be pregnant. I had the blood test and then got on BC like right away and Matt and I had sex like 2 times this month. I go home the test is positive... I send a pic to Nikki no fickin way. Matts pissed, he didn't get more sex....
Dec. 29th- Still dont believe it, but still no AF... took a test with morning pee.... still positive.... went to the store and bought a digital test it says prego or not prego ...... it said prego showed my mom... starting to believe
Jan. 4th- Appt with Dr.Wust... yes Im pregnant yes it can happen, the tamoxifen just took its time conception aroung the 6th about 6wks, my urine is cloudy I probably have a UTI whats new...... Im pregnant I have an unltrasound on the 10th to confirm dates.....
