Emergency room visits and bed rest....

So two Saturdays ago I was working and noticed I was spotting. I told my mom about it but since it wasn't bad and had stopped I let it go and went back to work. So that day I went home and was cramping like usual.

The following day, I was at work; serving and we were quite busy and noticed the same feeling as the day before... sure enough I was right and it was worse. So immediately I left work and went straight to the emergency room and went through a bunch of tests. After being there for 5 and a half hours my final diagnosis was threatened miscarriage and I was put on best rest for a week.

So after making a follow up appointment with my doctor I got in on Friday, and I also had an ultra sound at the hospital that day as well. The doctor put me on ANOTHER week of bed rest and cancelled my ultra sound because I had one at the emergency room. So here I am laying in bed cramping non stop. All I have to say is this child better love me to death and never cause any problems through its teenage years haha.

It was all pretty scary but I'm glad that I didn't miscarry. I was so unbelievably worried about that. The ultrasound was pretty cool though. The baby had both sides of its brain and a heart rate of 158. On top of everything in the past 3 days I've gained 10 pounds! Which is also very exciting because I'm roughly between 13 and 14 weeks and had in fact lost weigh until the other day. Anyways I just wanted to let everyone know why I hadn't updated. By the way, everyone wish Stephanie a happy birthday! Shes hitting the big 22 today!:-)

By the way, my doctor told me that the other doctor(Beth) that examined me was wrong about being 8-10 weeks because I was really around 11 weeks when she examined me and used the doppler and was told by my actual doctor that at 11 weeks your uterus is right behind your pelvic bone. so yay for that.!

early pregnancy

Okay so here's the deal. Wednesday, I had my first appointment and they didn't do a physical exam. They asked me a bunch of questions and took some blood.

But today, I had my first physical exam. I know so far this post is just getting better right? Ha, well here's the downfall. I'm only about 8 or 9 weeks pregnant. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

I guess I can look at it both ways and see that it has its downsides and upsides but now I'm totally freaking out. Since I have PCOS I have a 60% percent chance of not being able to carry it. So I'm pretty nervous now.

I so thought i was almost half way through it. Now I'm not. Blah I hate this. So my first ultrasound is next week. Ill let ya know exactly how far along I am.

My fat doesn't roll.

So I haven't updated in a while so I decided I would, obviously considering I'm updating now. My appointment in which I should find out the sex is next Wednesday! I'm getting so excited. This pregnancy is going by so quickly.


Since I'm currently living at home my younger sister is switching me bedrooms so the baby and I can have the bigger one. I feel bad but not so much considering I gave her the bigger room in the first place when I was the oldest:-P


I saw a dietitian yesterday and she was worried because I'm gaining inches but not weight. I have in fact lost another 10 pounds. Whats wrong with me? I'm in my second trimester and don't even weigh what I did before I was pregnant. Here is a picture I took last night of my belly.

My mother said last night that before I got pregnant I just looked fat, and that now I'm starting to look pregnant. I was like thanks mom, thanks a lot. I have a feeling I'm going to have a big belly. I don't know if I like that fact. But I guess it happens.

The dietitian said I need to eat more but as it is, I feel like I'm going to explode. Maybe I don't appreciate pregnancy enough yet, but I really don't understand why anyone would want to do this over and over again.

By the way, I felt the first kicks in class on Monday. It was amazing and I felt good that whole day. But I haven't felt much since so I'm back to my sleeping routine. Blah, I wish the baby would kick again. I've added Naomi to my very short list of names but can think of a FIRST middle name to go with it. Any suggestions? I want the baby to have 4 names because my middle name is Emofern(pronounced emmafern) and my last name is Ryan. So because of the strange middle name and last name that's also a first name I have to be kind of picky. Someone help me out wit this please.

But for now I must gobecause I have to pee, again... Ill update soon!
