Not the greatest day...

Well Grandma passed away the other night :(

We knew it was coming but it is still so sad. I dont think it hit me until this morning. I started to think about all the fun times we all had, the nice things she did for my husband and I and just having her spunky personality around to laugh with! She will be greatly missed. RIP - Francis Emily.

I also got my glucose test back and that came back normal. Wheeeewww! I was worried about that one! But they did say that I have a bladder infection. I dont feel like I do but I guess I do. So now I am off to get my prescription and then to the wake.

Hope all of you have a better weekend then I'm gonna have!

PAIN!

Oh my have I had some pain lately! If any of you have had this kind of pain let me know...

It is a burning/tender/tingling feeling right under my right breast. It usually hurts me the most when I sit in a chair. Standing makes the pain go away almost immediately and laying down is a crap shoot. It is a constant pain and reminds me of when I had shingles (horrible) only this pain has been going on for weeks and the pain hasn't increased or moved around my body so I know its not shingles. I originally thought it was my bra with the under wire but when I bought new ones and nothing changed I started to worry.

I told my OB and she didn't seem like it was a concern, said that a lot of women complain about that pain. I asked a nurse at my childbirth class and she said that it could be the uterus and organs being pushed up..causing the pain, or just stretching of the skin and muscles.

I also went to Dr Google and found out that your Gallbladder and Liver are in that same area but I don't have any other symptoms of those kinds of problems, so at least I ruled that out. I found other girls who have had this pain and says that it stays around until you give birth but should subside afterwards. So I guess I'll just have to deal. It is just an annoying pain, that scares me but I think, I hope its just normal. Anyone ever had/have this pain before???

U/S and OB Appointments

Holy cow..I just typed a book and lost the entire thing!! Unbelievable.

So anyways...I went to my u/s appointment last week. Because of my low papp-a (the protein the the placenta) I have to get an u/s at 28 and 34 weeks to make sure that the baby is growing properly. The u/s tech told me that I have NOTHING to worry about!! Baby is growing just fine and in fact she is in the 75 percentile of weight for this gestational age. She is over 3 pounds already!! So no worries on the growth part...

Then I headed over to my OB for my regular checkup. Everything is good. I then mentioned to her about the weight of the baby. She said that we are going to have to keep an eye on my little girl to make sure she doesn't get too big!! Oh my!! If she does get big then she might not be able to fit through my pelvic bone...hence have a C-Sect............

Now this may sound a bit complain-ey but I REALLY want to give birth naturally. After 2 years of not being able to conceive on my own, then having to go through IVF to get there, makes me feel like I was robbed of the real thing. Just the fact that they had to take my embies away from me, fertilize them scientifically and then put them back makes me feel like I am different. I think I would be more content if the IUI's worked. Regardless I am okay with what I had to get done - I would have done anything to get this little one. :) But it does make me even more determined to have this baby naturally. I really don't want to be robbed of that too!

I know that C-Sections are becoming more and more common and even preferred but this is just something that I want. I guess we will just have to wait and see how it goes. However it does happen ... all I want is for the baby to be happy and healthy!!

My Shower

Just a quick post to say that I had my shower yesterday. I was really nice and I am so thankful for such wonderful family that I have and how generous everyone was. I am going to post some pictures up later on in the week so stay tuned...hope you all had a nice weekend.

I cant believe the holidays are here already! I am kinda glad to have 2009 be over though...it was such a crappy year.

My Halloween

I am a little late on this but my Halloween was nice and relaxing! My hubby and I stayed home and handed out candy to all the kids. I live in a nice neighborhood so we always get a lot of trick or treaters. I just love seeing all the kids in their cute costumes...especially the babies and toddlers! I decided to dress up my little one too! hehe...
