03:13 pm - Follow up Appointment
I had my appointment this morning. My mom came with me, and I really am glad she did.
The Nurse Practioner did an informal Ultra Sound, which showed no growth, but still showed 3 yolk sacs. She immediately changed her game plan with me. She sent me down to the lab, for blood work to see my hormone count. I expected this. She also wanted a better Ultra sound done, with better imaging, to see if there is any type of growth or some type of good news. She was also going to be calling me TODAY with the results, and with what step we will be doing next. My gut feeling, is not of anything good. This pains me.
The weirdest thing is my last period was Aug 11, that puts me at 8 wks. The Ultra Sound say's I'm 5 wks which puts conception 4 day's after my first missed period in September. I'm confused by the numbers, but if everything is alright I can live with that. Maybe not completely understand but I can live with it.
So now I wait to hear the news either good or bad, but my money is on bad.
I still have some pregnancy symptoms, and that is hopefully a sign of something good. I don't know. Mom say's it was meant to be what it is. I am not sure I can really live with that though. Yes I know MC's are common, yes I know that it is what it is. I just don't have to like it and I don't want to .

12:29 pm - ER last night
I was spotting for over 24 hours, and I was overly stressed and had some mild pain, so I decided to go in and get checked out.
After waiting 2.5 hours in the waiting room, I was brought into a room. The RN's listened to me and attempted to accommodate me, but they were busy with GSW's and strokes. I had the regular labs done, minus a UA because, I didn't have to pee and the blood work did what needed to be done. I was brought up for an Ultra sound, which was very reassuring for me. After the US, I was brought back to my room in the ER and waited patiently for the Dr. The outcome I didn't expect, I was prepared for the worse, of losing another baby from a Miscarriage. I wasn't even graded as threatened. My pregnancy is going to be followed very closely, and I need to be checked out earlier than my first prenatal. The Ultra sound showed, *****WAIT FOR IT******** 3 Yolk sacks. NOT 1 but possibly 3. Of course this doesn't mean I'm having triplets. it could be that the US showed misc.. space or something. (they called it something) This is a huge shock to us, because multiples or even twins for that matter DO NOT RUN in Derek's or my families. We used no fertility drugs since we weren't trying to get pregnant. So, I do hope they are wrong, and there really is only 1 yolk sack and I'm not going to have 3 babies. The only major order I was given by the ER Dr. was DO NOT FREAK OUT!! I do have to prepare myself for this possibility. This is my news

09:10 pm - Moving
No, I'm not moving physically. Just my Blog. My paid account has ended and the crazy advertisments that are now popping up all over the place on LJ has got me thinking about moving. So, I searched and decided to move over to Wordpress.com It has some things I like and some things I HATE but in a way, It's just time. That's ok, I'm keeping my LJ because 2 people I follow are friends only, and I like reading their journal entries. Currently there is nothing new, I have imported all my entries over there already. You can find me at

Happy Writing.

07:29 pm - plugged in.
My boyfriend today sent to me on google talk, a quote from Paul Douglas. Paul Douglas is a local meteorologist who by all means is very respectable one. Anyway he showed me this quote that he got of Facebook.
paul douglas:" Is it possible to truly disconnect? Laurie and I are going on a cruise to St. Maarten. Took a small laptop but part of me is hoping the ship doesn't have wifi. What's the longest you've gone without plugging into the grid? Just dawned on me that when I'm dead & gone I'll still be getting e-mails. A macabre thought - so...rry. The only umbrella I want to see is in my drink(s)!!"
It actually got me realizing that can we actually be unplugged. Are we now so en-grained into the internet like the "MATRIX" No we are not Neo and we are not chasing a white rabbit. Or are we? What are we doing on the internet? Back in 1998, when I was in high school, html was all the craze, Flash wasn't even around, and if it was, it wasn't like it is today. The only good search engine was Yahoo. Internet explore or Netscape were the browsers. AOL was the king of the ISP. This would be a timeline from 1998 that I personally used the internet for.
1998- School, probably was the use. Email yahoo would have been my email or hotmail.
1999- I was in college studying computer programing, making HTML pages and or games I used it for research. Email was probably main use.
2000- By now chat rooms were probably the big thing. I was always in a fan chat room on my favorite band at that time. AOL instant messenger or yahoo's was a main way to communicate between friends.
2001-2006 Email, amazon shopping, paying bills.
2007-2009 Email, school online pages, social networking sites and of course AIM
2010 - Email, IM, Social networking, shopping, watching TV, movies. Reading entries from sites, which btw you can have it all go to one site, so not to have to jump from one site to another. Twitter, research, mapping out routes. I could go on, but I think you get the picture. EVERYTHING!
So the internet has totally changed over time. Today we use it for everything, from watching TV, talking to people, via instant messagers, web cam, talking on the phone, listening to voice mail.
We take the internet everywhere we even have it on our phones. I don't know a lot of people, who don't receive email on their phone. We can surf the net, we can do almost anything including make a phone call on our phones, which is a small priority for some people when picking out a mobile phone. There are plenty to go with. RIM the makers of the black berry, which has now not just for businesses but for you or me. There is the iphone, which spawned a new craze of smart phones. Android phones, (my personal favorite) oh did I mention we can watch full length movies on some phones? Well you can. Our phones, are extensions of us. We feel naked with out like like if you forget to put you seat belt on, you feel a bit off.
So, can we leave our computers or laptops or netbooks at home? Of course we can. Solution= bring your phone? One problem you're still plugged in, just wirelessly. Pretty cool huh, except the only way to escape that is to use a phone that is only used for phone calls. You can of course will have to disconnect text messaging because a lot of sites can forward data you want to a SMS and you receive it.
I'm not sure we can ever be a people that is unplugged the answer to that is yes, but you probably live somewhere deep in the woods, or have a lot of will power to stay away from such technology so not to be plugged in. The longest I've gone,with out internet since 2007 probably not longer than 24 hours unless I'm camping up North on the Lake Superior National Forest on the Gun Flint Trail (almost boundry waters). So, I ask you; can you be unplugged? I would love to
I wish Paul Douglas all the luck with being unplugged.

12:52 pm - BLAH!!
Its that time of year. Once again, I have recieved a gift of the common cold. I am sure I got it from one of the 2 kids if not both. When of course they sneeze on you, or wipe their hands on you. It's one of the risks you take working in healthcare. Well kids themselves don't always take care in hygiene unless reminded and forced. Well add that trait to kids with some type of special needs. Yup that risk just doubled. So, I am miserable with a sinus headache and taking my miriacle drug of Clairitin-D why that works I have no idea because it doesn't work for allergies for me just colds. My body is acky as well. I will sadly have to go to work still I have 2 shifts left and then the weekend to try and get better. I am seeing this weekend as a boring weekend where I'll be staying in bed mostly. I think I could probably sleep all day today if I was allowed too.

07:22 pm - Baby it's cold outside
It's 2010! a Brand spank'n NEW YEAR! I spent the end of 2009 with Derek, his brother and his brothers friend. We attempted to bring in the 2010 at midnight but missed it by a few minutes. (Thanks Derek , just kidding) We watched Star Trek TNG films and just hung out.
On the first official day of 2010 I went to Derek's parents for brunch. Afterwards, I picked up Anddi and we had a wonderful day of musicals. We watched RENT LIVE final broadway performance. Chicago and Grease. After Derek arrived we watched From Hell.
Today I went to Derek's dads family Christmas thing at Old Country Buffet. I met that side of the family. Both sides of Derek's family have been very gracious, and welcoming to me. I feel very comfortable. I hope Derek feels that way with my family. My family likes Derek. He has actually had probably the warmest welcoming to anyone I have dated in the past. After lunch I went back home where Anddi was, and we watched Dr. Horrible's Sing a long Blog, and started Newsies. I had to drop her off at work, and will pick her up later. I think we plan at the moment to watch Sweeney Todd.
Today is actually very cold. I can't wait for a small heatwave which of course will be anything above 0 at this point. I don't think we made it to 0 today, I think it stayed in the negative digits. ): So, watching movies with great people has been perfect in this weather. Of course not exactly a great way to start 2010, with the Temp. but otherwise it's been WONDERFUL so far, I can't wait for it stay that way.

08:42 pm - Writer's Block: Bottoms up!
In the past, I usually work, (Nocturnal shifts, 3rd shifts, or the night shift) or I spend it alone. in 2002 I spent it with a guy I met, and we went to a party. I had a lot of fun, except the stories from the EX who was there. I did run into others I knew at this party as well. However since 2006 I have spent New years alone, watching movies usually 1 movie has been constant. RENT and a bottle or 2 of wine. This year the plans are hang out with Derek, and his brother and his brothers friend watching movies (Star Trek TNG movies) I will incorporate wine for myself of course, and probably also pizza. (as that has been my tradition as well)

03:01 am - Morons
Tonight or rather this morning since it's 3am. Reason I'm up; Monku just ate his dinner. So I read the newsfeed on facebook only to get frustrated with some stupid close minded post.
Danielle's son, is worried at the age of 10 that a metor is going to destroy the earth in 2012.
A friend of hers, said " he has nothing to worry about Obama will be out of office by then" Which of he won't be out of the office, but the possibility of him being voted out that year could happen. I don't want to see that happen of course. But what does Obama and a meteor have in common?
I wrote this from my Android phone, so pardon the entry.
