I can’t think of much to write, unless I write a page on how crappy I feel and I’m sure you’re all dying to read lines upon lines of why I feel like crap. So I’ll spare you most of that and just say, the weeks been crappy. The dizziness has been back full force, acid reflux is so not fun, I’m so tired all of the sudden I think I could sleep standing up, and so on and so forth. I’ve broken up with pop, apple juice and orange juice. Looks like it’s water for me til the end. I’ll have more to write later when I’m feeling more up to it.
and the fun continues (34 weeks)
Sunday I landed myself a nice cozy (yeah right) spot in a hospital bed. That morning started out good, got up, showered, headed into my basement to start cleaning the laundry room/storage area. We had a little water down there from the (what seemed like) non-stop rain. I’d been cleaning for about an hour and a half, okay maybe an hour, I talked to my Mom for quite some time too, seeing if she wanted some of the junk I had stored away 
Potty break time….. if you don’t like too much information then don’t read on. Got to the bathroom, peed, wiped….. blood and lots of it. I didn’t really panic, I didn’t have any pain, but that was a lot of blood left in the toilet. I called my Mom back and told her what happened and said I was going to keep drinking water so I could pee again and see what happened. Then I’d call in to the doctor. I didn’t want to do this as it was Sunday and that meant ER. So I kept drinking my water and kept cleaning. My husband was up sleeping still at this point. I drank lots of water and peed twice more, still more blood, but not gushing like before. But it was then I sat down to feel baby and he wasn’t moving at all. I thought to myself – shit I haven’t felt him move since it happened and usually if I’m drinking really cold water he moves like crazy – he always had anyway. That’s when I panicked a bit. I called the hospital and told the nurse what happened and she thought it was best if I came up since baby wasn’t being active like normal. Now I had to wake my husband up….. hmmm I’ll try to be calm, but I knew the minute I started to talk to him I’d start crying and that’s exactly what happened. But he moves really super fast when he hears hospital, blood, baby not moving in between tears. And then I got an earful all the way to the hospital about how I should have woken him up immediately when it happened and not to wait and that I go to the hospital because I was having contractions all day, but I see lots of blood and I just keep working. I think he panicked a little bit – it’s not like he got woken up in the greatest way. Anyway….. they hooked my up and the relief that passed over both of us the second we heard that little heartbeat was amazing. It was quite some time before I felt movement out of him again, but at the moment I was just glad to hear his heartbeat. I had yet another replacement doctor and while he seemed very knowledgeable he had awful bed side manners and he would not explain things in human terms – he would only talk doctor. He decided to do an exam and found more blood, then decided it was time for an ultrasound just to check things out. While he was doing the exam – he said “Oh – a fingertip” I asked what he meant and he never did answer me. I don’t know if I was dilated or if baby was sticking a fingertip out at him – haha. The ultrasound gave some answers, from what I gathered my placenta is really low (which is probably what’s causing the bleeding) – hopefully it stays the heck outta the way and doesn’t block babies way out. We also have a picture for proof that it’s a boy!! I had a scheduled doctor’s appointment for today and I’ll have the other replacement doctor so I’ll talk to him more. OOOOOH and guess what – little man has spun himself around and isn’t breech right now. So what I thought was a head trying to break my rib was actually his little foot! I sure hope he enjoys standing on his head now and stays this way until the end. So for now….. I get to deal with pregnancy and what seems like a period. That’s one of the good things about being pregnant, no more pads, no more tampons, no more bleeding, etc. Guess not for me now, now I get both fun times – ARG! I’ll update this with anymore news from doctor today.
UPDATE: My doctors appointment went well. I actually hadn’t gained any weight which is really shocking. I feel like I have, but that could just be the tiredness kicking in full force. Everything seems bigger and heavier. I was at the doctor sitting for quite some time because they hadn’t sent my records down from Sunday and since nobody in this office was there they didn’t know what happened. So I had to wait for them to get everything and then read through everything. I really like the replacement doctor I have there. He kept telling me to take it easy, keep a close eye on things and make it at least 2 more weeks. He said I’ve gotta keep this baby in two more weeks and then he’ll be a happy doctor and I’ll be a happy Mom. So that’s about it. We talked about different reasons why I could have been bleeding since it didn’t come with contractions which is a huge plus. Like he said, baby’s been so active and has turned so he could have kicked the placenta and caused it to bleed or tore it away a little bit. Babies heartbeat was good and I could have listened all day because I’m so paranoid now if I don’t feel him move at any given time. No sleeping allowed in there – he needs to keep playing and letting Mommy know he’s okay. 
I don’t like sitting still so it’s a good thing I haven’t heard the words bed rest yet.
blue lights scare me
My heart sunk once today and then a couple seconds later it about fell out of my chest completely! I volunteered to help with Play Day at my son’s school today. As I drove to school the thought went through my mind that license would be coming due on our new vehicle, but I wasn’t sure when. I instantly panicked – and mentally chewed my own ass for not looking and knowing. I don’t take that kind of stuff lightly – I’m very anal about having everything paid AHEAD of time. So I told myself it’s okay – check when you get to the school and if they are past due you’ll carefully drive to the court house and hopefully all will be okay. haha Yeah right…. g’head try convincing me that that’s okay. I forgot to check – big freakin surprise! I spent the entire time at the school helping with Play Day stressing over it. I kept telling myself it’s okay….. check when you get outside. My son had a friend come home to play so as the three of us walked out of the school I notice a cop parked half a block away from where I’m parked. That’s when my heart sunk……. all I could think was OMG he found me, he saw that my sticker is expired and I need new plates, mentally chewing my ass again for being such an idiot for forgetting. I kept thinking….. watch I’m going to get in my vehicle and he’ll see me get in and then he’ll stop me. So we all get in, I go to pull away but another car is driving down the road so I wait for them to go. I start again but realize the blue lights are going and the cop is pulling away!! That’s when my heart completely fell out of my chest!! I stopped and wouldn’t you know it – the cop was going after the damn car that just passed by me!!!!!! What kind of luck is that!!!!! Of all days for the cop to park right there and for all days for him to pull someone over when I’m right there. I did check when I got home finally – I have until June 2nd – which means I’ll be going to take care of it tomorrow. I’m not kidding when I say I pay things early. My house payment is due on the first, but it will be paid tomorrow also.
forgetful…
What is it with pregnancy? I can’t remember anything anymore. Last night my son wanted Mac-n-Cheese. After about 15 minutes of waiting for the water to boil I realized that it might help if I turned the burner on higher than LOW. My son even said “Yeah, I was wondering what you were doing.” Yeah…. thanks – I can’t help it if I have no idea what’s going on anymore. A couple weeks ago I tried cooking hamburger without turning the burner on at all. This morning I called Mom and asked her to please leave some boxes sitting outside her door and I’d stop by and pick them up. While I was on the phone with her, I wrote myself a note and put it with my keys so when I took my son to school I’d have my note and I’d remember to get the boxes. So I drove to school, dropped my son off, READ the note and thought to myself…… now I’ll surely remember I just read the note again and I’m holding it in my hand until I get there. As I pulled into my garage I looked down to see what I was holding…….. my note…… no boxes. Aaaaaaaahhhh!!!! We have that handy note recorder in our new vehicle, but even if I did record a note on there I wouldn’t remember to listen to it. And knowing me, I’d write myself a note telling me to remember to listen to it, but I’d still forget. If you saw my desk you’d see how many notes I write. I support the Post-It company So, I’m off to drive back to pick up the boxes before it rains on them.
shrink wrapped – 33 weeks
I’m 33 weeks today and shrink wrapped is my new explanation of how I feel. I’m just plain tired of being pregnant right now. Having a little head shoved up under my boob all day is not the most comfortable thing in the world. Walking makes it feel better, I must shake baby down a bit. Night time really feels better as far as the belly/baby goes because baby turns sideways. Which makes me think that if I stand on my head long enough baby will fully turn to the correct position. My luck he/she’d keep turning back, just like what happens after I get up and going for the day. If my left side didn’t go so numb from laying on it, I’d consider spending the next 7 weeks (oh how I hope it’s less) laying on my left side.
Our weekend was a pretty busy, fun-filled weekend. We picked up my husband’s daughter on Friday night. Saturday we spent hours at a friends house for her little man’s birthday, who was turning 4. Score one for me, I got him the Nerf Reactor and at first his Mom was saying she was going to kill me for buying him that, but……. a bit later after she got HER hands on it, she then decided we all needed them to have war! He’s a mischievous little guy (He looks just like Dennis the Menace – not kidding at all) and hides behind the TV when Mom’s not paying attention and then starts blasting her with other Nerf type toys, so this will probably be found back there too
Sunday we took the kids to the river and took pictures and they watched a couple boys catch a really ugly fish. Here’s one pic I took that seems to be the favorite.
This morning as I drove my son to school we were discussing that this was the last week of school and next year he’d be a 3rd grader. (Makes me sad 
) He said all year he waits for the end of the year to be here so he can have summer vacation and then when that time finally comes he gets sad and doesn’t want school to be over. In fact…. I think it was last year that he cried because he didn’t want school to be over. Aaaaah……. if only we had summer vacation again – what would I do……. Tomorrow is the end of the year program. I remember my 2nd grade end of year program…… I got too hot and spent my time with my head in my teacher’s lap, beat red and sick.
I’ll leave you with a pic of the kids’ faces, so you can see more than their cute little butts
