Sorry it's been a couple weeks between posts, it's hard to think of new things to report! As you can see from the pic, my belly is getting bigger by the day. These were taken by Aunt Lorey at cousin Owen's 5th birthday party - so they're about two weeks old. I feel like i'm even bigger now, but maybe that's just my imagination. However, my belly button is now even with the rest of my belly - which just seems crazy! Our baby is now just over a pound!
We did have a pretty eventful week. I started having some cramps on Wednesday afternoon. I called my doctor to make sure this was nothing to be concerned with. They sent me immediately to Labor and Delivery. I was a little concerned but we got in a room right away! The Doctor poked, prodded, and got me hooked up on a bunch of equipment. We got to hear the baby's heartbeat, and all his little movements. Some of his movements I could hear and feel at the same time. Anyways, they released us about three hours later and wanted me to be on 'modified bedrest.' Basically what this means is that I'm suppose to 'take it easy' and have breaks throughout the day. They didn't really explain why I was having the cramps, they said that maybe I was 'overdoing it' which is why the modified bed rest.
I have an appointment with my OB on Tuesday and another appointment with my specialist on Friday so hopefully we'll get more of an explanation and clarification that everything is still going well in there. I've been feeling pretty good - so we'll see. The baby moves like crazy, and we can see big kicks and stretches from the outside.
By the next post I hope to have an update on our appointments and hopefully some pics of the nursery.
Until then....Emily and Moe
