What a weekend!

So Friday was one of those days were I was having some lower abdominal discomfort. I didn't think much of it because it's normal for me to experience this with my crohns every once in a while. But when it didn't go away and I started feeling kind of crappy I decided maybe I should call the doctor to get some reassurance. Baby was moving around fine so I wasn't really concerned. When I got the call back she told me I should go into labor in delivery to be sure that everything was fine but it was up to me. I spent and hour trying to decide whether or not I was going to go since I was feeling a little better.

I told Drew not to worry I was sure everything was fine and he could just meet me up there when he got off work. I also told him to stop and get something to eat before coming. So I went to pick up mom and we stop to get her some dinner again I wasn't worried so I wasn't in a hurry.

So we got to the hospital and the hooked me up to the monitors. I finally asked how everything looked and the nurse said that I was having contractions every 1 to 3 mins that were lasting 30 to 50 seconds. HUH?????? I never felt anything and your telling me I'm having contractions that often. I looked over at my mom who kind of looked worried. I remember pointing my finger at her and saying don't freak out. When Drew walked in he asked "so is he here yet?" He was a little surprised that I told him I was actually have regular contractions.

The gave me shot to stop the contractions which it did and sent me on my way a little later. A test they did came back saying I wasn't in preterm labor which I was happy to hear.

So Sunday I started to feeling contractions which if you remember I didn't feel on Friday. They didn't hurt but I could tell I was contracting. The doctor wanted me to come back in and I asked her while on the phone for steroid injections. YES me who hates getting shots asked for the injections. So when I got there no contractions. They must have stopped because I couldn't feel them and they weren't showing up. I think I had maybe 3 before the discharged me. I got my steroid shot and go back today for the last one. They also put me Procardia to help keep my uterus from contracting. Not sure if they gave that me for peace of mind or because they felt like I really needed it.

I just want this little man to bake for another month at least. Don't think that's a lot to ask.

More Baby Pictures!

So I know it's a little late but with the new computer I couldn't get our scanner to work so finally Drew said to just take the pictures with our nice new camera and it worked. So January 4th at 22 weeks we went to another ultrasound to my high risk OB. Our little man weighed in at 1 1/2 lbs.



I love the thumbs up. He has a funny personality as we can all tell. I love this also because it's like he saying everything is ok and well be ok so don't worry.

Me at 22 weeks!

This past Wednesday I went for another ultrasound. The doctors are doing so many ultrasound because they were worried about a low birth weight baby because of my Crohns. Well to say the least I don't think we are going to have to worry about that. He weighed in at almost 3lbs. No wonder my belly is getting so big.

I was glad my mom was able to go with me since Drew really couldn't miss work this week. She was so funny to watch because she was so excited.









My first words when I saw these 3D pictures whose nose is that. It's not mine and I'm sure it's not Drew's. Looks like it may be from my moms side of the family. He is so cute and I get more and more excited to meet him.

Me at 27 weeks!
