A scary moment!

Some of you know and some of you don't. We had a bit of scare last friday. A little background: I've been sick for a little over a week now and last wed. the Dr. gave me an antibiotic and told me to take mucinex DM. On Thursday night I hadn't felt the little one move very much. Jose said he was just resting. I was okay Friday morning, but then at lunch time I got really worried because I still hadn't felt him move. I called the nurse, no answer. I lost it. I was really worried so I called Jose and we both waited to hear from the nurse. The nurse returned my call and told me to go to Labor and Delivery. I told her that I had felt him move and she said that I had a decrease in activity. The Dr. was expecting me so me and Jose headed on over to Labor and Delivery. They put a heart monitor and a contraction monitor on and I just laid there. The result: everything is good. His heart rate is good, his oxygen is good. The Dr. said that because I've been on medicine I need to make sure I drink lots of water, more that I usually am because that's what is going to help him move. We just had a check-up yesterday and everything is good. I'm still at 1 1/2 and the Dr. says his head is really down there. Any day now!! So, all in all me and the little one are doing great.

He's coming

I have officially reached my weekly doctor visits. I can't believe it's getting closer and closer to when this little one comes. Sometimes when I think about it I get all excited, like it's Christmas Eve and the whole anticipation of Christmas Day. Everything is still good. My blood pressure is great even though I still swell! My weight is good. I've started to dilate 1.75 to be exact, my belly is 36 cm which is right on track and the little one has turned. It's truly amazing that when a baby has turned that you can still feel the baby move all over inside and see your belly do some transitioning. Amazing! I just know this whole month is going to go so fast, like a blink of an eye. The Lord truly has blessed me through this pregnancy, as far long as I am I still have energy and I'm not tired! There's the latest with the little one.

SNOW?

I know we all just lo-o-o-ve the snow, but already? I have to agree with Beth, where's fall? So instead of just skipping spring and going straight to summer, we're skipping fall and going straight to winter. I was so hoping I wouldn't have to drive in any snow until I went on maternity leave, yah so much for wishful thinking!!! How about we all pray that when it snows it just stays on the grass and in the tress and not touch the road?!! Wouldn't that be perfect?! I don't know about you, but seeing the snow makes it feel like it's closer to Christmas, although I don't quite wish for that...not yet anyway!! I hope everyone drives carefully. Go and build those snowmen. :)
