What a month! On March 27th I woke up to contractions -- timed at 11 minutes apart. I started doing everything I knew to stop the contractions, moving around, drinking water, finally taking a bath, and they stopped. I didn't feel Reed move at all after that, come 10:00am I panicked. My doctor was unavailable so I agreed to see a PA after an ultrasound; that heartbeat was the most beautiful sound I could have ever heard. Even on ultrasound Reed wouldn't move though. He was facing my back and wouldn't give my heart a break by a little kick or twist. The PA wanted to check for herself to make sure no damage was caused by the contractions. No dilation and after she does the exam, BAM! Reed flips over! I left the doctor feeling so relieved and happy. Taking it easy hasn't been easy but after a scare like that I have to let go and slow down.
We do have a busy month coming up, but I am doing as less as possible. Maternity pictures, Diaper party, Easton's 1/2 birthday, and and finishing things up before bed rest. With my last mobile month approaching I find myself waking up at 3am thinking of things to do. A momma's work is never done, and her mind never rest!!
Fun Facts:
My belly is still super low and just decided to POP at 21.5 weeks.
I've gained 6 pounds
Reed is HUGE!! Weighs a pound at 22 weeks and his legs are as long as his body and head.
I've had to ditch the wedding rings, but hopefully the swelling will go down and I can return to being a married woman.
Easton knows exactly where his brother is and what things are for "bebe".
