Just an ordinary day!

Today was just a 'normal' day. I decided it was time to do some more shopping for baby. It was really fun....but hey, I like shopping most of the time! I bought a few sleepers in various sizes. Of course, not knowing the sex of my baby made it harder, but I stuck to whites, yellows and greens. I think I did all right. I also bought bath hoodies, wash cloths, and crib sheets. Stuff I am going to need other than clothing. If I'd had a million dollars, the fun I could've had! In fact, I had more fun shopping for the baby than I did shopping for myself. Can't wait til the next time!

A bit of a scare......

For the past few days, (Wed, Thurs & Fri) I had been having really strange cramps happening. I was worried something was wrong with the baby, and since I hadn't felt the baby move in awhile, I went to get checked out. Around 2:30 am I arrived at the hospital, where they immediately sent me up to labor and delivery. Sandy, the nurse, was wonderful. I told her I felt really stupid about coming, but I was really worried. They asked for a urine sample, then hooked me up to the monitors. As time passed, it was clear that baby's heartbeat was good and strong, and I was having no contractions. I was very relieved at this. Sandy was so nice. She said a lot of mothers worry when they have cramps. I had had them before, but not this bad. Sandy determined that it was most likely just my uterus ligaments stretching. I eventually went home and tried to ignore the cramping. As it was about 4:30 before I got home, I didn't get to sleep until around 7 or 8 in the morning. At 1:00pm was my cousin's wedding, so I was pretty tired. After the wedding I went home for a nap before the reception. It was a nice wedding, and my cousin looked really beautiful. I love weddings! It totally reminds me of my own wedding, which was one of the happiest days of my life. It was nice to see family I don't get to see very often.

25 weeks.....and counting!

I am approximately 25 weeks along. We're getting closer to the end......I just can't wait! I have been a bit crampy since last night, and it kind of freaks me out. I think it's just the ligaments stretching out, but I am taking it easy today, just to be sure. Last night I had the worst stomach ache I had had in a long time, but today it seems ok. My allergies have been fairly good the past couple of weeks, so I am lucky in that way. Next week I have to go for the glucose test to check for gestational diabetes. I am not looking forward to drinking the sweet, flat orange -pop type stuff. I am not really into anything sweet. In fact, I find that most sweet things make me nauseated these days. I do, however, like sour things and hot wings. I am really into fruit lately, escpecially those B.C cherries! Expensive to buy, but totally worth it!
Yesterday it was really warm outside. Dave and I went out in his car. Of course the air conditioning is kaput in his car, so I was frying. I began to feel sick, so we came home. I knew it was warm outside, but it had been hotter, so I didn't think it would bother me so much, but it did. Also, I had a really bad headache for 2 days. I took tylenol as needed, and it would lessen somewhat, but then it'd be right back full force. I was starting to worry, because I am such a worry wart. I thought about going to the doctor, but it finally went away. I hate when I worry. It's just in my nature to worry though.
My cousin's wedding is this weekend, so I am looking forward to this. I love weddings! The sad thing is, is it seems my large family gets together only at weddings and funerals. In fact, at the end of May was my grandma's funeral and I saw family I hadn't seen in awhile. But there are so darn many of us on my dad's side, there's no possibility of getting everyone together. But, I guess that's the way life goes.
Later!

Not a lot happening!

My computer was down for a few weeks, so I was unable to blog. Not that anyone is missing much. Things are pretty quiet around here. Baby had a quiet week last week. Baby was really moving last night though. I love when the baby moves! It is such a cool feeling! My ultrasound was normal. Had another appouintment on Thursday. Because baby was so quiet last week, I was a bit worried. But, I got to listen to the heartbeat, and was totally reassured. That's pretty much all of what is going on. At 23 weeks, this is a pretty good time in my pregnancy. Minimal sickness, I am not too big yet. The heat though, somedays it is really harsh, but I manage. (Thank God for air conditioning.)
