This week: It’s been a rough week... I stopped my progesterone on Wednesday night.. at first I had no issues besides random hot flashes.. ha.. but then on Friday, I noticed my uterus contracting when I was getting up from my nap. I could feel it and SEE it. It looks like an eggplant coming out of my abdomen. By the next day I just wasn’t feeling well and was so tired.. and a little worried. I went to my doctor on Monday and she confirmed they were contractions. Thankfully, they are not doing anything to my cervix. I had these with Robert too. They started around the same time. With Robert, I was in and out of the Er getting fluids and terbutaline until 32 weeks when the contractions started to dilate me and I had effacement. That landed me on some bedrest and nifedipine until 37 weeks. So, now, here I am again. My doctor was super reassuring. Because Robert was term (even though it took some effort to get him there!), I am actually quite low risk. Some women have a more overactive or irritable uterus than others.. and we don’t know why. She didn’t feel like I needed to go back on progesterone because Robert was term. We will just watch me close and continue to measure my cervix. I was pretty bummed with all this going on.. but the good news is that I got to hear that sweet heart beat again at my appointment :-) Never gets old!
How's daddy doing?: He’s great! He is happy that the little one is safe and sound!
How's Robert doing?: Good! He is keeping me busy :-) We had lots of playdates, a birthday party, a trip to the zoo, park dates and speech therapy this week. We had so much fun, but mama was tired!!
How far along?: 15 weeks
Weight gain: 5 total
Cravings: donuts.. but I am resisting :-) also got some girl scout cookies this week.. trying to limit myself.. those things are EVIL
Maternity clothes: bella band and some maternity jeans.. also pulled out a couple maternity shirts. I am showing WAY earlier this time around!
Symptoms: Nausea and vomiting has really eased up! I only had one bad day of puking this week :-) I am starting to get some energy back but am pretty tired at the end of the day still. I can feel this sweet baby moving sometimes :-)
Gender prediction: i don’t know!! find out next week!!
This week: We went to Vancouver to see Rob’s parents this week. We had a great week! We got to tell Rob’s grandma that we are pregnant. She said she already knew :-) and was so excited. The baby did great on his/ her fist plane ride too! Traveling definitely wore me out being pregnant, but it was worth it.
How's daddy doing?: Good! He loves going home and showing Robert and I around.
How's Robert doing?: Oh he is in HEAVEN! He has spent the week riding trains, flying on planes and being spoiled by his grandparents! Cute note.. when we tell him there is a baby in mommy’s tummy, he tells us there is one in his too :-) He sticks out his tummy and points to it!
