Introduction :)

Hi everyone! I realize I am late in the game for introductions but I promise I've had good reasons!
This is my second pregnancy, my son was born in Febuary of this year. He is a little over 10 months old now. My husband and I were trying to have our second close in age since we live so far away from family right now. We wanted our son to have someone to play with
My husband is active duty Air Force, and I work in Retirement as a licensed Stock broker (although I am currently out on FMLA from this pregnancy... More to come). We spent 2 years apart until this past June when we finally were able to be together again. He unfortunately missed the entire first pregnancy and our sons birth. (I was however able to facetime him during the birth while he was boarding his plane to come home to us!) He stayed with is 3 days before he had to leave and we didn't see him again until my LO was 3 months old. It was a really difficult time! But we are so excited that with this baby he get to be here every step of the way. So truly it's like he's experiencing all of this for the very first time.
We found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks, and the sickness came full force at about 6 weeks. I was diagnosed with HG- and I will say this has been one of the most difficult times for me. I have been in and out of the hospital for IV's and trying different medicines. I am currently taking Zofran, phenegren, Reglan, B6 +Unisom, and Zantac. I haaaaate being on so many medications, but I have gotten to the points where my dehydration and ketones were severe. Things are better with this combination of medicine since I can usually keep water down about 50% of the time, and usually one meal a day stays down! I am hoping the second trimester brings relief but I'm not so sure it will. Next step will be sending me to a high risk doctor and getting a medicine pump. Which I really want to avoid! Especially because I love my midwife this go around!
Ahh I forgot! I am due June 27th so we are just finishing up our 12th week here! Long way to go! But we are so excited for the end result. Truly I am blessed! We just told our families which is such a relief to me since being sick constantly and home alone has really been depressing. It's nice to finally talk a little more openly!
Anyway I hope everyone's pregnancy's are going well and I am excited to get to know all of you a little better!

Re: Introduction :)
@shannonrnbsn that is really encouraging! I really hope that is my case too! I just want to enjoy Christmas! I'm supposed to fly home for a week and I am so worried! Selfishly I don't want to look at all the good food and have to pass it up either! Thanksgiving I just cried haha! I'm glad you are doing better! I know how hard it is
Triplets due 6/29/16 also from an IUI!
@Grapes13 - You are one tough mama!! No DH for your first pregnancy and sick as a dog for this one?! I REALLY hope the rest of your pregnancy goes as smooth as humanly possible. You deserve it. Welcome to the board!!!
Military wives are my heros.
My dad was in the navy and was away at sea for my birth and until I was 8mths old. It was incredibly difficult on him and my mom. I of course don't remember it.

@HBamama2B that's a wonderful story, and your momma is definitely a Wonder Woman! I sure hope my kids feel the way you do one day!
