My So Called Life

This afternoon I was in the copy room at work. I usually take my phone with me but did not today. I got back to my desk to only see 2 missed calls from the Doctors office on my cell and one on my office phone. I never like to see St. John's Clinic on my called ID because they don't call unless something is wrong. So I called the nurse back and she said Christina I got your ultrasound report today I felt my stomach drop at this point. She said you have placenta previa and we will need to see you back in the office. My brain starts to race and I really was numb. It is hard to listen when you don't know what something is or what it might cause. So I receive a long list of things to avoid or watch for in the next 2 weeks. I go back to see the Doctor and I will receive a follow up ultrasound. Sometimes I wish that I didn't know how to google things! I called my mom because she is a pediatric RN and will tell me the truth. Please keep me and my little boy in your thoughts and prayers. I hope that the next appointment will show that it has moved and everything is fine.

IT"S A BOY!!!! I will post more information and pictures later.

I read a friend's blog and got inspired to make a list of wants: HERE GOES!!!



I am dreaming of a Pedicure

I would like to get my haircut

I would like to get my hair colored

Bigger maternity clothes

Someone to figure the nursery layout with two kids SIGH (Why can't the upstairs be done?)

To find out the sex of baby #2 (One more day)

Landscaping done in my front yard

Logan needs a swing set

A family vacation (We are skipping a family vacation this year because of the baby)

I wish my husband had a job with benefits that would allow me to explore staying home

Family pictures

A MAID to clean my house ha ha





Of course some of these things will never happen but it doesn't hurt to dream or want! I guess it is fun to make list or at best to remind me later of what is important.



WISH ME LUCK TOMORROW WE FIND OUT THE SEX OF THE BABY!


Stay tuned.........

I forgot what it felt like to have a baby moving inside of me. About a week ago I was like WOW that was the baby. Then this week the baby has been extra active in the evening. Sometimes I will feel the baby move 4 or 5 times. On the 28th we will find out the sex of the baby. I am super excited but scared at the same time. It is crazy to think that I will be almost 20 week soon. That means that I am halfway to my due date. I sit here and think to myself "How did 20 weeks pass by?". Then the anxiety sets in for me. I start things about everything I need to do before the baby gets here. I have been waiting to find out the sex before I unpack anything. If it is a girl then I will sell all of my boy stuff and buy girl. I have been waiting to find out the sex before I redo Logan's room. Everything has been waiting on next week to get here.



I am really starting to show and that is exciting for me. I don't know what it is about being pregnant but I enjoy watching my belly grow. I love to see Logan talk to my belly and kiss my belly. He is going to be such a great big brother.

Not only has my body told me to slow down but so has the doctor! So tonight before I am completely exhausted. I accomplished the following things loaded dishwasher, started a load of laundry and made dinner. Those three task exhausted me more then ever normally I would still be cleaning and up until 10:30 working. I just can't do what I use to do before I got pregnant. This pregnancy seems to be more exhausting then my first. Although take into account that I have a 3 year old and a more demanding job. So for now I need to prioritize what has to be done with what needs to be done.

So until I have this baby I may not have a clean house, all the laundry may not be done, there might be dishes in my sink and I might not see 9:00 pm again. I am OK with it as long as the baby is healthy and well. I need to focus on taking care of me and the baby.
