30 weeks - Scare

So this last weekend was Memorial Day weekend and we had an extra long weekend. At first we were excited about that but then after I started having sharp pains down towards the bottom of my stomach, we weren't so glad it was a long weekend. Being a long weekend, the doctor's office wasn't going to be open until Tuesday morning so I couldn't ask anybody about it unless I went to the hospital, which I really didn't want to do. The pains were so sharp that they made me cry. It was definitely not a good experience. Come Tuesday morning I made an appt. with the Dr. and had the PA check everything out and make sure everything was ok. She said that it was probably just the Braxton Hicks contractions coming and going and/or the baby was sitting on the nerves at the bottom of my stomach and sending sharp pains everywhere. It was a relief to know that it wasn't anything serious. I guess it's just a preview of what's to come! :)

28 Weeks!

Well we're getting closer and closer ... but not soon enough! We're at 28 weeks now. We went to our appointment today and they did another ultrasound. This time the ultrasound tech took a 3-D picture! I didn't even know she could do that with her ultrasound but it was a very cool surprise!

We also got some other good news from this appointment. Stephanie PA said that the placenta has moved up a whole 4.5cm! I know it doesn't seem like a lot but it is! She says there's no need to worry about anything at all now. What a relief! I contribute this to the blessing I had on the Sunday (Mother's Day - May 13) before my appointment. Travis had given me a blessing at my Mom's house and my Dad and Michael & Mathew were able to participate as well. It was a very amazing experience and I'll always remember it.

Other updates include that I now weigh around 144 lbs. :/ Still not used to this weight gain part of the pregnancy. We were also able to listen to the heart beat again as well. It's all a miracle and never gets old thinking about how Travis and I are going to have a baby! We can't wait to meet the little guy! :D

We're now headed to Phoenix to spend the weekend for our 2nd year anniversary! It's crazy how so much can change in 2 years!
