Im a mother of 3 beautiful boys. I just recently found out that i have a 4th baby on the way! WOW! Let the good times roll

Thursday, 13 Dec

i went to the doctor on monday, my husband was with me and we got to see the baby again :). it was all over the place, a huge difference from how small it was 4 weeks ago with a heartbeat flutter. Well its just one (whew). I am just getting huge due to the fact that this is my 5th pregnancy (lost my first pregnancy in my 15th week), so my muscles and all are stretched. Yeah that helps the self esteem. So much for my year with a personal trainer...LOL. No worries.

Well xmas eve i spent it in the er hooked to an IV. I had a severe G.I. virus. After 2 liters i went home and still didnt feel alot better. They didnt check the baby while i was in there, basically there isnt anything they could do if something had gone wrong b/c i am only 13 weeks. Still would have liked to hear the heartbeat. Anyhow, went home i couldnt eat anything or drink a whole lot xmas day or on wed. My stomach still hurt really bad and i felt like i would throw up again if i ate. My ob said not to worry about not eating but to do my best with the fluids. I basically was just sipping on something all day. I also had a really bad sore throat on wed. I figured it was from all the straining when i was throwing up, but when i woke up this morning around 4 am with my throat closing up on me, i wasnt able to talk and i was having trouble breathing. I ended up going to an urgent care later in the morning and they sent me to the hospital via a cab (they didnt want me to drive b/c they were afraid i would pass out). Apparently i was still dehydrated pretty badly and he wanted me to be put on an iv drip. Well at the er i found that i have strep throat, and was given a dose of steroids, tylenol, a large dose of antibiotics and some ibuprofen. I of coursed asked them over and over if it was ok for me to have that and be pregnant, they told me yes. The steroids did the trick and opened up my throat. They also didnt check my baby, i have an ob appt coming up, but i cant help but worry a little.

well i am feeling a bit better after being on the antibiotics for 3 days. I have lost the 3 lbs that i gained this pregnancy along with 2 extra. Its ok, i am more than sure that after i get over all this yucky stuff that i will make up for it later. In the meantime, the belly is still growing. My toddler keeps playing with my belly button and pushing on my growing tummy.

I was rear ended yesterday while i was on my way home from owen `s Dr. `s appt. I had all the kids in the car with me. We were sitting at a red light and a lady talking on the cell phone not paying attention hit us going around 35 to 40 miles an hour. We were hit pretty hard. Aidan was in the third row seat sleeping when it happened. We were all wearing our seatbelts and the kids seemed to be fine. Well apparently when i called the police they wouldnt send an officer to take a report b/c i said everyone was seemed to be fine. Oregon is a no fault state so they dont send anyone. BTW we were in a very very busy intersection when it happened. UNREAL. So now it is coming down to my word against hers. Anyhow...i ended up in the er all night hooked to an iv, i had gone into preterm labor, which at 17 weeks is a very very bad thing. Basically there isnt much anything they can do to stop it and if you have the baby at that time it would have no chance of survival. So this is what i was faced with, along with very real painful contractions that were pretty close together. I was put on an iv to push fluids which my ob said could help stop them, but if not then we would have to try to figure something else out. They checked the heartbeat...it was 160+ bpm which meant the baby was a bit excited about the whole thing. I was given an ultrasound to check the placenta. I also had a cervix check in which it was closed. THANK GOD! By the end of the night my contractions were not as intense and had spread out to every 30 mins. I was finally released a little after midnight. Im home now, and im still having some sporadic contractions but over all i feel ok. So ask me what we are having...lol.Oh and my van is smashed in the back. :((

Went to my 20 week ultrasound on monday (18th) It was with a perinatalogist to make sure that everything looked good, since my last son had malrotation of the small bowels. Well it looks good. I will have to have another one when i am 32 wks just to make sure that things dont change. Well i was told the baby is a little over 14 ounces...WOW almost a pound. I need to post the ultrasound pics, they came out great! He is still a HE...lol. I keep getting comments about how big i am. I really have gotten even bigger this past month. I need to also take some more belly pics. :)

Oh yeah...Aidan (my second son) felt the baby the other night, he was so excited about feeling his baby brother. now when the baby kicks you can see my stomach move with it...its awesome!!! Oh the baby seemed to have moved, he was laying longways...with his head at my right hip and his feet at my left, well it seemed to have done wonders for my braxton hicks...YAY. so i am getting some relief finally. They did however check my cervix to make sure the contractions havent been doing anything...everything looked good. My dr still wants to do a ffn test when i am 23 wks. Im ok with it, its better to be safe then sorry. I am still having them, just not as often and the pressure has lifted, I think he is now head down on my right side. thats where i am feeling him, and up under my right ribcage.

Tristan was rolling inside me big time this morning, it was like he was doing tricks in there. Maybe he will be a skate boarder or gymnist...lol. I cant wait to snuggle him and pat his little butt. :P

Tuesday, 1 Apr

Ok sooo, it seems that april fools started early for me, this weekend was full of me having early contractions (pain), the ceiling in the living room opening up and releasing a tsunami, Owen running a high grade fever accompanied by puking. Oh and this morning...Coco knocked me down on the top of the stairs while i was carrying Conor, lets just say i did a great impression of a bobsled. I went all the way from the top to the bottom, hitting my head, back, butt, and thighs the whole way down. When we finally stopped, conor was crying and all i could think was that his poor leg that just got out of the cast yesterday was broken again. I had completely forgotten i was pregnant and was too busy looking over Conor and not thinking about myself and Tristan. Well i feel as though my back and butt got rug burns, im covered in bruises and basically sore. It seems as the hours stack up, the soreness gets a little worse. AAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHH. WTF, who mad us the target of the cosmic toilet bowl??? So now i am limping around, rug burned, pregnant, and there is a huge fucking hole in the ceiling in the livingroom that Gil is trying to fix. Did i mention also that I clogged the toilet again with the massive pregnancy craps that keep being expelled from my body? Sorry if thats tmi, but, i gotta rant somewhere. lol. The thing is...it sucks and all, but it is so sucky it is almost comical. In other news...SWEENEY TODD comes out on dvd today wooohooooo
