Just found out a Def.....

 ITS A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!  

AND HER NAME WILL BE

SUMMER JA'LAYAH KAY EVANS. 

I had another Ultrasound today...being the 3rd one and 3 different techs all say ITS A GIRL. The tech I had today pointed it out for me and printed out the pic for me! I had an ER ultrasound On Sunday because i was in the Er because I was not feeling good. To find out I have a lovely UTI and on meds for it now. I had a scare thinking I was losing my baby cause my bladder hurt so much! Horrible feeling to be walking around feeling like your bladder was going to fall out and hurting when you pee and then spot of blood came with it. Freaked me out! Went right to ER and spent 5 hrs there and then to find out I have low Potassium in my blood from my BP pills. That is why I am so weak and tired all the time. Trying to eat better and have more things with Potassium in it!  Today I feeling good but very tired still. I did not sleep very good last night! Meeting with a Maternal Nurse today at 2 for an hour and half visit. Decided to go with this program for a home nurse to come in and see me once in awhile. 

Congrats on Summer!!!

Hope you get to feeling better soonest! Bananas are a good source of potassium. Grape/cranberry juice with help with the UTI as well.

 Thanks!! I hope I get better too!

Congrats on a girl!

Congrats.  I'm glad she's dong OK despite the UTI.  Bet you never thought you'd be glad to find out that's what you had, huh? 

Re the potassium...a hundred years ago in high school, my biology teacher told us to eat the little black thing in the tip of the banana...she said it had more potassium than the entire banana.  Don't know how true it is - or if there are other foods w/more potassium...but I've always eaten the little black thing since she told me that....almost 25 years ago! Damn...that makes me feel old...reminds ne how many of you out there I could be your mothers if I started right out of high school! LOL

 Thanks!! Yeah I am def going to eat some more bananas. I got to get to the store and get some. I have a list of foods that has potassium in it that the dr gave me. Idk how good the tip of the banana will be LOL. I think that's amazing you can remember that!

LOL...hide the tip w/a bite of the banana.  It's small and goes down pretty easy.  It's the little black part that's inside the banana peel tip, not the black outside of the tip...so it's doable.

I horrify my son.  I actually LIKED high school, enjoyed doing homework, got along with and liked all of my teachers.  I tell my son...I was a teacher's pet.  Biology was one of my favorite classes (minus the dissecting...ugh); we did a lot of botany - had to do flower collections and identify them, with their latin names, group them in 'families,' etc...and I'm surprised myself how many of the plants I remember.

I'm thinking the other day I read something about another food that has a high amount of potassium in it, but damned if I can remember what it was.  Funny I can remember high school but not just a few days ago?!  Blame it on lack of sleep.  I've got enough things being blamed on age.

BTW...Not all that my biology teacher told us was good.  You DON'T want to know what she told us her friends had done w/the placenta of their baby after the birth.
