Easter Weekend
Last week we had 4 days off due to Easter and so I finished painting the room and crib. I love how it turned out so now I just have to figure out what I want to do as far as wall decor goes. I will post pictures when it is complete :) Might be a while! On Sunday we traveled up to Denton after church to see the family and to catch up. We had a good time seeing everyone and of course eating all of the food!
Last Doctors Appointment
My last doctors appointment was at 28 weeks which if you've had kids before you know what that means...the Glucose test! I loved every second of the "Fruit Punch" that I had to drink. You have to drink this special drink in under 5 minutes and then wait 1 hour for them to take your blood. This test determines if you have gestational diabetes. Thankfully I didn't get a call from the doctor, which means I passed! I also got to listen to Annalise's heartbeat which was sitting strong at 161 (must have been the sugar drink). Usually she has a heart rate around 130 so I guess the sugar got to her:) It was Loud and Fast! Dr. Morehead also took some measurements of my stomach which showed Annalise measuring 8 days behind. They are not concerned about it, she's just small! I did mention at that appointment that I feel like my heart rate has been faster than usual which has caused me to feel very "weird" at times. There was one day when I was walking the dogs with my friend and I had to go home bc I just didn't feel right. Dr. told me that during pregnancy your having to get more blood out for the two of you and therefore causes your heart to race some. Well a week later, I got a call back from my bloodwork that I have anemia...sure enough that's why I have been feeling all "crazy"! Anemia is a condition in which the body doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells which provide oxygen to the body tissues. So, now I'm taking Iron pills which have some Fun symptoms (jk)! Other than that everything is great!
Symptoms I'm experiencing right now
The last few weeks, Annalise has decided that she likes to rest (push) her head up into my ribs. Yes, she's still breech. Well it is extremely uncomfortable so I push her right back down. It's a game that we play ALL day! Well, these last few days I feel like my ribs have been bruised (which technically she's not strong enough to do). Throughout the day I will have extremely sharp pains shoot through me around my sternum. I am also not sleeping to well because of this. On Monday I am going to call and just let them know what's going on. Other than my ribs, maybe slight back pain sometimes.
DANIELLE WHITE...YOUR MY SUPER HERO! The leg cramps are Finally gone. I no longer wake up in the middle of the night screaming due to Charlie Horses in my calves. My friend Danielle told me to put a bar of soap under my sheets and that it is known to stop leg cramps. It has been 3 weeks and not a single cramp! It's amazing! Thank you...best advice so far!
Well, this is all I can think of for now! Until next time:)
