Pregnant and in a band...
So I have my first show tonight with the 42's since being pregnant. It is going to be very strange not drinking anything at a show, not that I am an alcoholic, but having a drink or 2 just kinda goes along with playing in a band ( especially if its free! lol). Also I noticed at band practice the other day, I felt the vibrations from the music a lot more in my tummy then I normally do, and it kinda made me feel sick. Hopefully it was just cuz I hadn't eaten dinner, and I won't notice it tonight, because it is going to be one LONG night if I feel sick the whole time. For now since I am not really showing yet, I don't think I will feel to out of place playing in the band, but I think I might start to feel a little weird once I have a giant prego belly if I'm up on stage singing " I love rock n roll" and " Love shack" and playing Centerfold....lol. Maybe it won't be that bad, maybe it will make it more fun...who knows, I guess I will just have to wait and see!

Everything is Wonderful
Tuesday Aug 10, 2010
We had our Dr. appointment today, and everything went great. We got to see and hear the baby's heartbeat, and see the tiny little baby ( only about 4mm right now) I am sooo thrilled, after everything that has happened this week, I can't believe that everything is fine, and I have a healthy baby growing inside me. I am soooooo excited to begin this journey. We just told Nick's Parents and Brother today, and they are all very happy and excited for us. We told his sister and brother in law on saturday night while they were still in town ( they live in colorado so we wanted to tell them in person). We plan on telling my family this sunday when we meet them all for dinner while my uncle is in town. It's kinda early to tell people but because of all the problems I was having I had an ultrasound a lot earlier then most women, and the Dr. said that once you see the heart beat and if everything looks good ( which it did for me) the chance of miscarriage goes down to only 5%, so we feel pretty safe telling at least our families. I would like to start telling our friends, but Nick said we should wait until we are done telling our families first so they don't end up hearing it from someone else.
As for my body this week, I am still feeling quite nauseous, and for most of the day food just doesn't sound good, especially if I have to make it myself for some reason. My boobs are kinda tender, but I don't feel like they have grown very much. I have been very bloated so I bought a bella band today so I can wear my jeans and work pants comfortably. I haven't tried it yet but I think I will give it a shot tomorrow. I am very tired for a lot of the day, and I feel myself getting moodier as every day passes, and I am trying very hard not to get to moody with Nick. I am peeing all the time, and I don't know if it is from being pregnant or my UTI or a little of both. I am trying to keep myself hydrated, but it can be hard to do when I don't want anything in my stomach. Well I guess that is all for now. I am an another appointment in 4 weeks so I am sure I will have more to share then. ttfn
Still A Little Worried
Friday August 6, 2010
So wednesday when I was at work around 4:30 I started cramping worse then I ever had. I grabbed my phone out of my purse and ran to the bathroom. it hurt really bad so I called my husband to see what I should do, he told me to try and calm down and wait it out, that it would pass... it didn't...I puked, and almost passed out because the pain was sooo bad, I started getting really scared so I called my Dr and they told me I should go the the ER and get an ultrasound to make sure I didn't have an ectopic pregnancy (my worst nightmare). My husband came and picked me up, and by then I was feeling a little better, but I was still freaking out. we got there and got checked in peed in a cup and waited, and waited, and waited. We waited 2 1/2 hours before the Dr even came in to see me, and all he did was listen to my heart and feel my belly, and said he would be back. so we waited and waited and waited some more, then they moved me to a different room so he could do a pelvic exam, they cam and drew my blood so they could test my hcg levels to see if it would be worth it to do an ultrasound. He did the pelvic exam and said my cervix was nice and closed but it looked a little irritated. My blood work came back after a couple hours, and my levels were high enough to get an ultrasound. Then we waited 2 more hours to get an ultrasound, during which the tech didn't say a word ( I was hoping for at least a "here is your baby"...nothing) and then waited another 1/2 hour for the dr. to come in and tell me it's not ectopic( really good news!!), but they had a hard time seeing the fetal pole ( the baby) and that could mean that it isn't developing ( or that i miscarried) so I have to go back tuesday to my regular OB and get another ultrasound and check my levels to see if the baby is growing. They also confirmed that I have a UTI which could be causing my cramps ( but my body is telling be something different). The only good news was that my yolk sac did confirm that I am 6 weeks. I am sooo worried that I have miscarried, and I would really appriciate any and all prayers. Thanks...

Kinda Scary But I'm Trusting in God
Tuesday August 3, 2010
So I have only known I was pregnant for a week, but I have been camping for about 2 weeks now. My cramps have been pretty severe, so I called my Dr. yesterday because I was concerned. They decided they wanted me to come is asap to see if I have a UTI, and they also bumped my 1st ultrasound up 2 weeks earlier then originally planned. They did really say I should be worried, but I am. I have a history of endometriosis and ovarian cysts, so I am worried that maybe that is affecting my pregnancy. I read online ( which I think I should just stop reading things online) that a history of endometriosis can make you more likely to have an ectopic pregnancy, in which case I would lose my baby. Anyone thats reads this I would appreciate your prayers, as I continue to try to give this up to God.

What a Surprise!!!
Thursday July 29, 2010
My name is Addi Evans, and I have been married to my wonderful husband for a little over 2 years. Over the past 2 years we have had a lot of struggles with my health, and because of my endometriosis, and ovarian cysts, we thought we were going to have a hard time getting pregnant, so we had decided to start trying as soon as I had lost 20 lbs, which I was getting very close to my goal in the last few weeks, and I only had 6 lbs to go.

This last week I should of started my period, and I was getting very crampy so U figured it would start any day now. The first day of my last period was around June 23rd so by July 27 and no period, I decided I should take a pregnancy test, not having any idea that it would be positive.
When I saw that little + appear, I FREAKED. I was afraid my husband would be upset because it was not planned, and I was disappointed in myself for not losing all the weight before we got pregnant. I called Nick immediately, and he was super excited, and calmed me down over the phone. After Nick and I talked for a little while he had to get back to work, so I was on with my day. I called my Dr. and set up my first appointment, that I wish so badly was sooner. I am scheduled to go in on August 24th for my fist sono, and I am sooooooo anxious, and excited to see the baby!
My cramping has not gotten any better, so it feels like I am on my period. I have also had a lot of nausea, and diarrhea, so I have been quite uncomfortable, but I know it is all going to be worth it in the end. I bought myself some sea bands ( acupressure bands that are supposed to help with nausea) and this is my first morning using them, and so far it seems to help a little bit, but not as much as I would like. My boobs are getting really sore, and I am very bloated, and gassy, so i would say I have had pretty normal symptoms so far.
I am so excited for this adventure, and I can't wait to see how this baby changes my life. I know that God with bless Nick and I through this journey, and I know we are going to make great parents!
