Not a Fan of Morphine :)

Last night, as I was getting into bed, I had this weird pain. Now this 11 o'clock, I work in the morning at 6am, and I have already had my Ambien. The pain got worse and worse, until after an hour I could not stand it anymore. Mike called the OBGYN who told us that if was bad enough, to head over the ER. Thankfully my little brother and sister-in-law came over (with my cute niece Khloe who is three weeks almost) and sat with sleeping Collin while we headed to the ER. They drew blood, hooked up an IV, and gave me some morphine (DEFINITELY NOT my drug of choice!) They did an ultrasound of various organs, and even checked the view on the little gestational sac and yolk sac which hopefully next time will show the little bean or beanette in there with his or her heart beating! They checked my HCG level and although it was good, they still wanted a repeat to make sure it continues that way. So they came out with nothing conclusive, and we went home after 3 hours. Mike and I crashed, and he was sweet enough to wake up with Collin this morning (have I mentioned how much I love my hubby and how good he is too me???) So I woke up feeling like complete crap, and I feel like an onry narcoleptic because I will be sitting there and I will pass out unintentionally. I am pretty sure that somewhere in my sleep a MAc truck ran over me, backed up, and did it again because I feel like I have been run over and my head will not quit working. The plus to being home today is that the genetic counselor (Becky) called me to see how we were doing. That's right, to the lady who schedules the appointments, I truly am on a first name basis. :) The scheduler was telling Becky about my phone-call and our history when she stopped her midsentence and told the scheduler to get her our number that she was going to call us. We chatted, and she was so sweet and so supportive. She will not be there next Wednesday when we are supposed to go (another gal will be) but she just wanted to let us know that they understand how stressful and anxious we are, but that she was really excited for this. She also discussed some of the testing she wanted us to consider. One of them is a CVS (chorionic villus sampling) which checks for a whole slew of problems between weeks 10-12. They collect chorionic villus cells and biopsy them. Here is an excellent link explaining what CVS is and what in entails. I even watched one on You Tube, and it reminds me of the amniocentesis I have had, but different. The results come in more quickly than an amniocentesis and can tell if you have a child that has problems with chromosomes or a genetic disorder. Anyways, I am going to try and fall asleep now, since my night last night really did me in (cannot seem to get the ambien or the effects of the morphine out of my system. In writing this, I have dozed off several times. Thank-you everyone for your prayers and support. 

We feel the love and support and it really means a lot.
