My regular ENT doctor who was about 80 years old the last time I saw him has since retired so I had to call about 10 doctors before someone would agree to see me on such short notice. The problem I had this time was that the ENT doctor I saw refused to give me antibiotics without the consent of Dr. Bohn, my OB-GYN because I'm pregnant. The wires were crossed with Dr. Bohn and I wasn't able to get a prescription until Friday afternoon which made me very frustrated since I was in so much pain. I finally decided to take Avery (poor Avery was such a good sport, trying to leave her mommy alone for a week) and retrieve to my parents' house for the weekend... I needed my mommy to take care of me! I felt like if I went to my parents' house, my mom will magically make me feel better... Which ended up being true, but it was probably the antibiotics that did the trick...
By Sunday morning, the antibiotics were finally working and I was able to eat a little. I had lost about 6 pounds in the last week which was 6 pounds less than my pre-pregnancy weight. I was so afraid that I was starving my poor baby in my stomach. I have my 3 month check up with Dr. Bohn tomorrow so we'll make sure the baby is safe and healthy. I am so lucky that I have such good support system. I'm so thankful to my parents who unconditionally take care of me at all costs, to Paul who has been so understanding and supportive while I've been recovering, to my wonderful nanny for keeping Avery away while I was in bed and to my darling Avery who has been such an angel even though she wanted her mommy all the time.... By Sunday, I can see in Avery's face her frustration of not being able to play with mommy. She'd come to me, sit on my lap, hold my shoulders and try to get me up and say "umma, up up"... then she'd crinkle her nose and look so frustrated when I couldn't get up. That made me cry all the time...
Today, I feel much better and I am excited to eat and see Avery later to play with her. I'm on a mission now to eat eat eat!!! We finally took a picture last night of my belly. This is my belly at 12 weeks and 3 days. Finally, we're in second trimester!!!!
Below is a picture we took this weekend of our little munchkin and her cousin, Minji, wearing matching outfits that grandma got them. Aren't they so cute???
