Ahhhhh!!!!! I have no more room in here!!

So I have seriously found that pregnancy with a small torso is miserable!! Greyson hit a growth spurt this week, & my ribs feel like their craving!! It is the worst pain!! I can deal with back pain, I can deal with being huge, but I cannot deal with this horrible bruising on my ribs!! I had such a small ribcage before pregnancy that there just isn't room for baby. ]:

It is getting down to the wire. If
we make it to my due date, that means were 27 days out!! At the end of this week Greyson will officially be considered a full term baby! I can't believe how time flies. Looking outside & seeing the snow makes it real. This whole pregnancy I've had this image in my head of driving to the hospital with snow everywhere. I feel like fall just sped past.

28 week apt... Why do these doctors have to scare you??

So I went in to have my 28 week prenatal visit. I had to do the glucose test (drink that horrible orange crap & get blood drawn) & I haven't received results back yet. When I went in I told my doctor about the rib pain I'd been experiencing, & he proceeded to tell me that I may have gallbladder issues. ]: I think he may have spaced out afterwards, because the ultrasound he said he wanted to order, he never did.

He then measured me & told me I was measuring a week behind... & that It wasn't a huge deal, but that if I continued to measure small he'd have to order another ultrasound. Not what I wanted to hear. I guess as the end draws near there will be more stress due to tests & other body changes. I just don't know how prepared I am. I am the kind of person that if told something negative, I have to google it until I think the worst case scenario... Not the way to go about things!!!

But baby boy is very active, & so I won't worry until I have to. I also got moved up from every month visits to every two weeks, & soon it will be every week! I can't believe how close we are getting. <3

I am behind on my baby bump photos, so next update ill add a few. <3

22 weeks... Getting big!!

This week I got to have 2 friends & my little sister feel baby kicking and rolling around. He's so strong & sometimes his kicks hurt me!! I feel like he waits til I'm almost asleep & then attacks!! I swear he drags his elbows across my stomach. He's going to be a world class dancer. (:
I've finally been getting up & working out, really grateful for the lack of pain due to my hemorrhage. I take every day me & baby are healthy as a blessing. We made it to viability, (the week where they will medically intervene & try to save premature infants) so now just to cook a fat healthy little boy. <3

20 week update...!!

I haven't been keeping up with this like I should!! I had my anatomy scan last week & everything was perfect. My hemorrhage is still in there reiking havoc, but I've got a perfect baby boy with no physical issues. Everything looks great. Now I just gotta keep him cooking for 17 more weeks.... & I'll be satisfied (:

Update!!! (19 weeks)

So I've been feeling a lot better lately. Still trying to take it easy & not over exert, but there has been no more bleeding & I am hoping that at my anatomy scan on Thursday everything will look good & maybe that the blood clot has shrunk. I'm hoping for a good birthday & no bad news.

Sad News.

Hey everyone. So Friday night I was at a friends house in Roy (of course I was so far away from my dr) & started bleeding. I had been cramping all day, but I'm not the most intelligent sometimes & had brushed it off as something else. I decided to wait to go to the hospital, but called around to ask some family members opinions.
The next morning the bleeding had gotten worse, so we headed to the hospital. Once there, they took blood & did a pelvic exam. (horrible move considering). The pai at this point was pretty bad. After the pelvic exam it was time for the ultrasound. Let me tell you. From the first time id been at this hospital to this time, my opinion changed immensely. The ffirst time a few weeks previous, I had felt welcomed & the service was excellent. This time it was horrible.
The ultrasound tech was rude & when I asked what was wrong he responded with "well there's definitely a reason your in here. That's all I can say". However after pushing around for a half hour, doing a vaginal ultrasound & being a complete jerk he proceeds to tell me that he had thought my cervix was open, when in fact it was shut tight. Than he proceeds to tell me that my babies heartbeat is 290. 290???!!! I was terrified. Than he asked me if I had had a lot of caffeine that day or other "excellerants". I obviously said no, & couldn't stop myself from wanting to cry. When I went to sit up, he told me not to stand up because I was probably light headed from whatever my baby was having problems from. I was furious.

After delivering me back to my room, we wait 30 more minutes for him to inform us that his machine was set incorrectly, the babies heartbeat was only 145. I was so relieved but couldn't believe how awful he was at his job.

When the doctor came in an hour later, we got the final diagnosis. I have a subchorionic hemorrhage, meaning there is a blood clot between the wall of the uterus & my babies placenta. According to the doctor, I'd had it when I came in previously & it had worsened. (love that I was never told previously). If the clot continues growing, the placenta will detach & baby will be lost. I hate how negative the doctor was.

so at this point, I am on bed rest & have a goal to make it at least 10 more weeks. It's a big aspiration, but this baby is my world & don't care.
Bleeding & cramping will continue, probably for the rest of my pregnancy if the clot doesn't absorb.
Complications are scary, but I think it's important to keep hoping for a positive outcome.

My pregnancy thus far (10-15 weeks)

So around this time I started to get really sick. Yucky. Eating is a chore, if I didn't I was sick. If I cooked the wrong thing I would lose appetite & be sick. It's fifteen weeks today, & I'm still sick.

At 13 weeks, I had a pretty scary experience. After a long night of dancing, i began to cramp pretty bad. It went through the night & the next day I began to bleed. After driving around for a while, my doctor said I should go to the ER. I was in the ER for about 3-4 hours. The doctors said the problem was that I was straining myself too much. It was time to take it easy. My ultrasound looked great, & the tech (who I think they try to keep reasonably quiet) was ecstatic to tell me he was pretty sure he saw boy parts. It isn't 100% obviously, but I was so happy because a boy was my hope.

I am now 15 weeks, & moved home with mom due to problems with the babies dad. It's easier to have the distance away from the stressors of life, considering what baby has been through.

In 4 weeks (August 16th, my birthday) well do the anatomy scan and see the sex!! <3
