20 Weeks Preggo

20 Weeks Preggo

Girl or boy: Girl!

Complaints: Nothing really...

Weight Gain: ??.....I'll find out next week

Symptoms: Stretching pains, pinched nerves

Cravings: Really been craving veggies and fruits.....and sweets at night

What I miss most: Sushi : )....and being able to walk around more

Sleep: Ok....peeing 4 times a night and can't go back to sleep after sometimes

Movement: Totally feel her kicks now! It's the coolest thing ever. The other day I said I felt her moving so Chris put his hand on my belly and within a few seconds she gave her dad a huge kick! Chris jumped because he wasn't really expecting anything : )

What I'm looking forward to: I can't wait for Thanksgiving....I've been craving Thanksgiving food for months now : ) Spending time with my family will be fun. They've been so supportive through everything and I'm so thankful to have them. Also, I know I have a long way to go, but I can't wait till she born. I feel like I may have some scary times ahead with this whole placenta previa situation.....I just hope nothing too serious. So,I'm looking forward to early February for my scheduled c-section (if my body cooperates that long : ).

Yum!!!

Yum!!!!

Being on bedrest isn't so bad when you have friends that deliver you goodies. My friend Lindsey is so sweet and brought me breakfast this morning along with this yummy baklava. It hit the spot and leaves me something to look forward to tonight : )

18 Weeks Pregnant & Bedrest!!!!

18 Weeks Pregnant & Bedrest!!!!

We went to our appt and had an ultrasound on Thursday and got some surprising news! The baby looked really cute and healthy, but also found out I have COMPLETE PLACENTA PREVIA!!! Really?!! I am now on bedrest for the rest of the pregnancy to avoid complications, although it sounds like it is not uncommon to spend some time in the hospital further down the road : ( So I am planning on sitting on my butt for 5 months now in hopes that our sweet little girl stays healthy. I hope my uterus and placenta cooperate : ) Sooo.....we have now cancelleled our trip to Europe we were supposed

to leave on Saturday, and our family Christmas at a beautiful cabin in Big Bear : ( I feel terrible about it, but know it's the right thing to do and I'm so thankful to have the support of friends and family. This will be a challenge, but we're ready for it. Chris already has a plan to make things go as smoothly as possible.

So here is a pic of the pregnant belly at 18 weeks...I feel it growing by the day!

Girl or boy: Girl!

Complaints: Nothing...just a little scared!

Weight Gain: 6 pounds

Symptoms: Tired, stretching pains

Cravings: Everything bagel with cream cheese, tomato, avocado, and lemon pepper

What I miss most: I wouldn't give this up for anything , but I do miss sushi : )

Sleep: Ok....peeing 4 times a night and can't go back to sleep after sometimes

Movement: Maybe feeling her a bit more although still subtle movements.

What I'm looking forward to: I can't wait till I am holding her in my arms and that she's healthy. It will be neat to finally feel her kicks a little more (and from the outside) in the next couple weeks. I can't wait for the holidays, especially Christmas .....maybe Chris can wheel me around the mall : )
