8 Weeks

Well, I am officially 8 weeks prego. And the past couple of weeks have been very rough. I was still feeling horrible last week so Friday I went back to the ER. They found out I was extremely dehydrated again and admitted me into the hospital. So I was there for 4 days. I got out last night, and I can honestly say I feel so much better than I did. I am just hoping that it keeps up. My arms are so sore from all the IVs and pokes for blood draws. Yesterday, my potassium levels were pretty low, so they had to pump that through my IV. Talk about pain! It hurt so bad, because potassium chloride burns like crazy. My doc told me I could go home if my levels were higher, so they had to draw blood again. Unfortunately, my veins are so done. They ended up poking me 9 times between both hands.. they were so swollen and now they hurt like crazy. I am however, feeling tons better, so I can't complain.
