Well I have been terrible about updating. Time just seems to pass me by some days. I guess it’s because I am busy with a 16 month old. This is definitely the most wonderfully tiring job I have ever had.
Ava got her first stomach virus last week and I hope her last. Poor thing. She woke up last Sunday night throwing up and it continued for about 4 days. She finally kept everything she consumed down Saturday. Then I got it and man was it wicked.
Saturday night I started feeling nauseaus and once it started it didn’t seem like it was going to stop. I knew I was getting dehydrated by 3:00am Sunday morning because I started having contractions. So we decided I should go to the hospital. Tim stayed home so we wouldn’t have to wake up Ava, but when I got to Labor and Delivery they wouldn’t give me anything, not even fluids, because I was alone. So I called my dear friend Tia, who was just great. She took better care of me than the nurses for the most part. After a ton of fluid and anti-nausea medicine I was sent home. I didn’t get sick again but I felt like I had been hit by a car and the major dehydration brought on a major headache that I am still somewhat fighting.
Yesterday we had our regular prenatal appt. We were’nt expecting to get an U/S but Dr. Hayes offered so ofcourse we took him up on it. Especially with everything my body and baby had been through this past weekend. We got to see that everything was OK and that she is still quite a she. She is breech right now but it is still early so nothing to worry about yet. The Placenta is far out of the way and she was moving like crazy. Overall it was a wonderful appt.
Since we got confirmation that we are indeed still having a girl we have finally picked out a name…
I was not expecting to have another shower with this one, mostly because it is such an iffy subject, etiquette wise. However my dear friend Sarah has offered to throw one for me at her house. I can’t tell you how touched I was. Not to mention I would hate for Isabella to think we celebrated her coming any less than we did Ava’s. After all we have been through, I feel like all of our children are amazing blessings and it just feels right to celebrate their existance.
Well gotta go do mommy stuff
