First Picture Together!

Its Izzy and I's first picture together! She's still on the inside (thank goodness). I'm just about 23 weeks preggo here! Can't wait to see how HUGE I get in the next few weeks haha!!

Busy Night!

So this is what it's going to be like in Labor & Delivery. This was my view, and this was my arm! My very first IV and let me tell you, it was NOOO picnic. So let me tell you a little bit on why I was there...
Starting at 2 am I started having bad cramps. They would come in waves ranging from a dull ache to cringing over in pain! I waited to call my OB office at 8:30 am (right when they opened) I told them how I was feeeling and that the pain was so bad it also caused nausea. Long story short they told me to come in so they can test my urine. hmm.. okay i guess.
I get there at 11:30 and while waiting for them to re-do my lab paperwork (somehow they lost my order) I ask the nurse if there was any way to check out baby. Her reply, and i quote, "now why would we do that?"... huh... what? did she seriously just say that? I wanted to cry and punch her in the face at the same time. My reply, let me quote myself, "I'm sorry, but this is my first time and I have NO idea what pain is normal and what is not, but seeing how I've been cramping since 2 am and haven't felt baby move since 4am, I would like that peace of mind." She said fine, after my labs to come back and she would listen to her heartbeat. After labs I went back to the office for her to listen in and SHE WENT TO LUNCH! I had to sneek away from work, i couldn't wait another hour for her to eat! So.. I went back to work
Fast forward to 7:30 pm.
I had been cramping all day but finally when I went to lie down and rest.. WORST PAIN EVER! (well.. i haven't been through child birth yet) I decided right there that I was going to L&D to get checked out, this wasn't normal. I zoomed past Mike and off I went. When I got there, all the nurses were SUPER GREAT! They listened to what I had to say and immediately took me back. She then tried to find her heartbeat.. no success. For 10 minutes she tried, meanwhile I started to cry. She went for an ultrasound and walah! There she was, all snuggled in my belly sucking her thumb. She was perfect. The nurse ran blood, swabs, and urine tests. Long story short, I was dehydrated (my electolytes were off), and I have some kind of bacteria infection. Great! I just got done with strep throat and now this. After filling me up with liquids and giving me some meds I was sent home with my souvenier cup, an answer, and knowing my baby is A-OK! whew.. told you it was a busy night!!

Quick Update

Whew.. where has the time gone? December and half of January seems to have flown by! Let's see. A few weeks back I went in for my anatomy scan. Everything came back normal. They couldn't see her heart since she was chin down so I get to go back soon to get that checked out. At least I get to see her again! Sneek peeks are so fun!
She now kicks like crazy! AT ALL HOURS! I think she knows when I want to rest because it seems like that her favorite time to dance on my insides. It's an amazing feeling! oh, and an annoying feeling too.. but i wouldn't trade it for anything!! According to all baby websites she's now 11 inches long and 15 ounces (still not sure how they get the weight). 11 inches! HOLY CRAP that's almost a rulers worth! Well we're past the half way point now! Exciting right?!

Fatigue Hits Hard

Wait a minute! I'm the pregnant one! I think fatigue hit my dogs more than it's hit me haha! I swear all these dogs do is sleep, eat, and poop. Kinda like a baby! Well sleep now guys, soon there's going to be screaming and crying in the air! Not all from baby, I'm sure Mike will cry a little too.
