YEP IT'S TRUE.....

us Mitchell folk will be welcoming rugrat number 3 on Oct. 5th! YAY! We are SuPeR eXcItEd!! Since the day we told McKall and Wyatt it has been non-stop questions and fun! Wyatt is not too sure whats going on but McKall on the other hand is ecstatic! Every morning we get the famous question, "Is the baby coming today?!?!" This is going to be the longest 6 months of her life but she is going to be a HUGE helper! I have yet to make a little count down for her. She is totally wanting a little sister, but Wyatt and Chandler are hoping for a boy! I will be just thrilled with either! I mentioned to Chandler that him and I should just find out what it is and keep it a secret for everyone else. He doesn't think I can do it....gosh when I really think about it though, I dont know that I can! HA HA! We'll see!

On a more sickly note, it has really been quite the journey so far. I know the Lord wants us to multiply and replenish the earth, but my heavens why does it have to be so hard for some of us?!?! Maybe it's just that I'm a cry baby, whiney butt! HA HA! I know my pregnancy sickness is nothing compared to what some women go through, believe me I see it everyday working for the OBGYN. Then there are those women that breeze through pregnancy and yes I AM TOTALLY JEALOUS if you are one of them! I know that in the end though, he/she will be TOTALLY worth it!

I know this might bore some of you to death but I wanted to jot it down for my sake! It was about two weeks ago, my heart just started literally POUNDING. It would come and go throughout the day so I really didn't think much of it. I couldn't sleep that night and it took all I had to get myself and the kids ready that next morning. My heart would not slow down. I got to work and thought maybe after I sat down for a bit it would slow down but it just kept pounding. My blood pressure and heart rate were super high. Dr. Bailey told me to go home that night and take it easy, we would see if it was still happening the next day. I did just that and sure enough it was still happening. By this time I had started to feel light headed and dizzy. It seriously felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest. They tried a few things in the ER in Nephi, but they couldn't get it slowed down. Before I knew it I was in the ambulance and on my way to Utah Valley, the worst ride ever. Chandler was rushing home from work so my sweet sister (whom was by my side the entire time) rode in the ambulance, font seat style! I got there and seen the Cardiologist, Dr. Mitchell (he must be good check out his name!!) Anyways he had me do some different things to try and slow my heart down but it wasn't working. Next thing I knew they were giving me some adenosine to see if that would help slow it down. No need to google what this stuff is, I'll just tell ya....it seriously felt like death. Not that I know what that feels like but those are the only words I can think of to explain it. The Dr. said everyone says that it feels like death...scary. I felt like I was being pushed into the ground by a huge boulder. They layed me flat and all I remember was there were a ton of people standing around me and they were all ready to shoot this stuff in me. It scared Chandler and I both, but it did the trick. Chandler said my heart rate went sky high, then the stuff like shocked my heart and I flat lined for a few seconds but it finally went back to normal. The doc says I need to have an ablation done on my heart but I cant do it until after I have the baby. He said my heart gets confused and the top and bottom part kind of stop doing their job and the middle part is doing all the work. He said it gets stuck in like a spinning mode and cant stop. I am now on a medication called digoxin until I can get the procedure done.

Of course there is more.....the medicine gives me bad headaches and I got really sick for a bit and it was back to the ER. They put me in the hospital and said I was in a starvation mode. I couldn't keep anything down and lost like 6 pounds. The doc said I needed to get about 7 bags of fluid before I could go home. I was only there a couple nights. Oh ya and I found out that I'm allergic to Rocephin. Wow, I have never had an allergic reaction before, but dang it's not fun. Benadryl helped that, slowly but surely.

So there you have it, it's been quite the circus at our house the past couple of weeks. I go to Maternal Fetal Medicine on Friday. Dr. Bailey says he hasn't had a patient on digoxin for about 10 years so he just wants me to see the specialists to make sure everything is ok. I am starting to finally feel a little better, in hopes I can get back to work Monday;) and most of all so I can start being a mom and wife again! I have an amazing hubby and kids, they take good care of me! I also have amazing family, friends, neighbors, and ward members. Everyone has been so good to us. A great BIG shout out to my hubby, my mom and dad, and to my sister! The Lord really knew what he was doing when he blessed me with these AWESOME people! I love them all so much and I will get through this! :) :) :)

PS sorry there are no pictures and it's a super boring post :( Oh yes and I promise I wont complain this entire pregnancy! Just get me a big fat SLURPEE and we'll be good! ;)

Oh the things they say!

*McKall told Chandler one night the pourch light was on and there were moths and bugs flying all around.
