Stressful Month...

It's been a pretty stressful month!
I decided not to blog about this because we had no idea what was really going on.

A month ago, at my last appointment, we went in, I got weighed. My blood pressure was taken. I got to pee in a lovely cup. I heard a strong heartbeat. I was then measured. The nurse measured me at 22 weeks. I was 27 weeks. So the nurse measured me again. She could get 23 weeks. By this time I'm not sure what to think?! Bobby wasn't with me and I was trying to keep Boston entertained. When the doctor came in I asked him about it and he said that he could measure me at 24 weeks. Still 3 weeks behind? I have also been having extremely painful braxton hicks contractions which end up feeling like real contractions... Not fun! I feel sick 95% of the time and the other 5% of the time I'm just exhausted! Plus all the stomach pain I have. The doctor said if all of this is still going on at the next appointment then we would need to do another ultrasound.

Well... I have an appointment yesterday! And after leaving the doctors office I'm feeling a lot more relieved!

I measured in at 28 weeks! Even though I'm 31 weeks, that means that baby girl is growing how she is supposed to! Wahoooooo! I made sure to have Bobby come to this appointment as a just in case...  The doctor just said that we could be having, in his words, "a petite little girl." Smaller then Boston, who was 7lb 2oz. Honestly, I'm not putting too much into this. I could still obviously have an 8 or 9 pound baby, even if the ultrasound tech and doctor have both told me that I won't! All that feels good right now is that baby girl is healthy!

I also learned that your first baby sits low in your uterus and your second sits high and on your spine and nerves... Which is what it causing my leg pains. Sometimes I get up and can barely walk... BUTTT the doctor said that the contractions are moving baby girl lower in my pelvis so these pains are becoming a lot less frequent!

Enough of me complaining!
This cute BOY is soooo much fun right now!
He is the DANCING king... Literally.
If music comes on, not matter what kind of music, he can not resist. He HAS to dance. I'm not even kidding. He seriously cannot even help it. Even if it's just a little headbob. Haha, he's too funny!

He's also almost TWO. Can you believe that?! I can't... I absolutely love him talking and being able to communicate and tell us what he wants and needs. I'm not sure if it's my pregnant body or what. But I think he's even finally gaining weight! And it's about time! He is already in love with his baby sister and can't wait for her to get here.

Less then 2 months! And as much as I hate being pregnant I have a feeling I'm going to miss it.

Scary times! So glad that little girl is healthy and growing good. Hello doctors... look how tiny the mom is, of course she's going to be petite.
