Scares

Lately I am feeling so much better. Well emotionally. Physically it's a challenge. When it's time for bed the baby is kicking and happily moving around. If only he could sleep when I sleep. :) But I guess that's not going to happen. Oh well. I've noticed that I bump into everything it seems like. Front AND back. My belly and my butt is attracted to everything lately. It gets really annoying. When I lay down it's always on my side. Never my tummy or my back. But I get sore really easily so I'm constantly switching sides. But I've learned silk, silk, silk!! Silk sheets and silk jammies and you are all set! It's hardly a work out. :)
I think because I've had such an easy pregnancy Karma is trying to kick me in the butt. It really sucks! I've had a couple health problems and they've been quite scary. First one was I was having incredible pains in my tummy and back, I went to the doctor and he started feeling around my abdomen and found a pulse there. He said he thought it was an Abdominal Aorta Aneurysm. Pretty scary to hear!! After I got done with that appointment I went home and looked up more information on it. Alex didn't want to hear any of it. He was scared and so was I. Then next day I had an appointment at the hospital to get an abdominal ultrasound done. Luckily they didn't find anything! That was such a relief. I later had a talk with my doctor and he said that because I was so think he could feel my aorta pretty good. (But I'm still glad I went and had that ultrasound done. But safe than sorry!) The next thing is while I as at my nanny job I had gotten sick. I had started cramping and getting really sick. I went to the bathroom to find that I had started bleeding. I was scared like none other. That was not supposed to be happening!! I called the hospital and talked to a nurse from Labor and Delivery. She said that if I noticed less fetal movement or kept bleeding to come in. I didn't make that call til around six at night. (Tonight was the premier for Dark Knight Rises. Alex and I were going to since his dad had invited us and all the other siblings, but since the events that had happened I decided not to go. I told Alex I thought it was okay if he went and to come home if I called him.) I decided to told off on going to the hospital. I had stopped bleeding, but I couldn't feel the baby like I was used to. I didn't go in til after eleven that night. I was scared. Alex was still gone and I was by myself. I called him to tell him I was driving myself to the hospital and that I needed him to come home right away. After I walked into the emergency room, the staff immediately started talking to me and asking me questions. I was terrified. They asked if I wanted a wheelchair and I declined. We walked to Labor and Delivery. From there I was given a room and a gown to change into. After I had changed the nurse helped me onto bed and started hooking me up to machines. She had attached two round devices on my belly. One was for the baby's heartbeat and the other for his movements. The most comforting sound was hearing his heart beating...I felt better just hearing that precious sound. She asked me some questions and then left the room. I was by myself for half an hour. Just listening to his heartbeat and his movements. It's funny. When your by yourself things seem to go bad, but when you go for help or try to explain the situation everything turns out okay. Like nothing every happened. Well once I got settled into the bed and was hooked up to the machines I could feel him  moving just like he normally would. He's always more lively at night. :) The nurse looked at the papers and said that I wasn't contracting and that he seemed to be doing just fine. To doctor on call had been keeping an eye on my monitors and said that she felt comfortable with letting me go home. So, I put my clothes back on and the nurse walked me to the door. I was so grateful that everything turned out okay. I was so worried. Not for myself but that Wyatt would be okay. I don't know what I would have done if he had not...I don't want to even think about it.
But after getting into the car I called Alex. He was still driving home. (He was coming all the way from West Jordan.) I told him that everything seemed to be fine. He was relieved. I don't think he was overly worried like I was, but there was still some worry there. By the time I got home he was already there. He hugged and kissed me first thing when I walked in the door. I was grateful to have him finally there with me. I needed my partner in crime. :)
Since that night everything has been going great. Hopefully it stays that way. :) Until next time..
