2021 Beach Trip with the Boys!

This year Mom and I took the boys to Ocean City with a bit of a change: we stayed just outside of town in Selbyville, in Mallard Shores (or something like that, I forget the name). The unit was nice and very roomy. However, I did not like the fact that geese were everywhere. And we couldn't walk in the grass outside because of the rampant goose poop (which quite frankly grosses me out). However, we had a good time away together!

Mom was an amazing help with Samuel. She watched Samuel in the mornings while Liam and I went to the beach. In the afternoon, we would go to the pool or for a walk or somewhere else. We got dinner at a restaurant on the water (it has since closed... it was called the Atlantic Bayhouse or something). The dinner was good but the view was better. Especially because a storm was rapidly blowing in from the West! We liked that view.

Liam and I have developed a tradition of going to the beach at 120th street. That way we can walk to the Carousel for treats and bathroom breaks as needed.

We went for four nights this year which I think was perfect. It was a lovely get away!

My meds, my experience and my faith 💗

I'm not the most eloquent writer but I want to record my experiences and the meds I am taking.

I doubled up until 8 1/2 weeks to 400mg. *Lovenox 40 mg every night due to recommendation from Dr Hamersley *Vitafol OB prenatal with iron added *** Vitamin B6 and Unisom.

Celebrating 32 Weeks... with a DVT!!

Well this week has been ... Interesting. On Monday I noticed my arm hurt at my previous IV site. It was sore and also intensely painful right at the IV site. So I just waited it out and observed... Overnight the pain woke me up twice! In the morning I knew I had to be seen. I went to urgent care. They ordered an ultrasound. The ultrasound showed too blood clots--one in my brachial vein and one in my subclavian vein (a DVT!). They had me go to the ER. So I went to Frederick. They sent me home with increased dosages of Lovenox, 80 mg twice a day. Starting the next day I had groin pain. And by Thursday I was dizzy. Soooo back to urgent care I went. They did an ultrasound and a CT scan and blood test. I'm anemic, but nothing was wrong. Whew! All I needed to do was 20 minutes on the monitor with baby before I left. Well... I started having contractions. They're my usual evening contractions but they alarmed the midwife enough that she wanted to keep me and give me more IV fluids....
