Well, sorry for the late update... so much has happened since my last entry. Let's see: On 12/14/10 I was taken to L&D Observation because I thought my water broke & BB's heart rate was high, 187!!! His usual heartrate is between 135-150 in the mornings. He was moving alot that morning, so, I called my Dr and she asked me to come in to L&D. Well, they ran tests to see if my water really broke... it didn't... I just "inked" a little (reference "Finding Nemo"...lol) and with all the pressure that BB is putting on my bladder, I'm not surprised that a little peepee came out without my knowledge. Gross, I know, sorry... only Mommies can relate to this. While I was there they were monitoring BB's heart rate, which by the way went back to normal, nurse says if he's really active (which he was that morning) his heart rate can rise... just like ours would increase if we worked out. However, while BB's heartrate was back to normal, they noticed I was having regular contractions that were pretty strong... oddly enough, I didn't feel a single one! The nurse kept asking me if I felt it and I almost felt bad telling her no, but I really didn't feel it! She says contractions can happen in the 3rd trimester randomly and spontaneously; it's when they become regular and painful that one should worry. They gave me some medicine to relax my muscles in order to stop the contractions and it worked.
Skip to a week later...
This past weekend, my parents threw me a baby shower at the clubhouse in their neighborhood! To say it was an AMAZING shower would be a complete understatement. It was THE BEST SHOWER I've ever been to thanks to THE BEST PARENTS & BROTHER in the world. I'll be posting pictures as soon as I get them on my computer. The hubby & I made out like bandits at this shower... and with that said, BB still needs SOOOO MUCH! So, with the holidays around the corner, I asked Santa (my parents) to not get me anything but just get stuff for the baby... knowing my Mom & Dad, I'll still get some pretty awesome loot for myself and also, now, for BB! I guess it's something about this time of year that makes me (and lots of other people) feel so blessed. Not because of the materialistic things we receive, but all the love and care that you feel all around... it just seems more prominent during this time of year... or maybe I'm having a hormonal peak! LOL!
Merry Christmas to all of you!!!
Love,
Mommy & Daddy to be & BB!!! (just a few more weeks!)
