This week was quite interesting! Mandi and I decided last minute to get together and bring the boys up to Petoskey to visit my grandma. The boys love seeing all the boats and water and their gammy. Mason especially enjoyed finding rocks and throwing them into the lake shore. It was AMAZING how many words Mason said over the week! He has finally mastered a lot of "B" words. He now says "boat, ball, deer, and leaf." I get so excited when he says words that I flip out and go a little crazy in excitement. People probably look at me like i'm crazy but it's just so exciting.
Mandi and I were brave and took the boys to the park and lunch in downtown Petoskey. Landon had a meltdown at the park and Mason decided since there weren't any meltdowns at the restaurant he was going to throw a major one there. It ended with Mandi and I rushing out of the restaurant and leaving a very generous tip to the waitress just so we could get out of there. I am pretty sure that will be my last time going out to dinner with little man for a LOOONNNNGGG time :) unless a grandma or dad is around to help out.
As you guys know, I announced at 18 weeks to everyone that I am pregnant. The reason I did this was because I went a whole month without any complications and had a great checkup with my doctor reassuring me things looked good. I have been doing great up until a few days ago on our last day in Petoskey. I woke up with the same weird issues…spotting but this time with pain. The pain reminded me of pain I had experienced when having Mason. Not quite as intense but similar. I called my OB who was 3.5 hours away and he said I would need to go to the E.R. right away to make sure it wasn't labor pains.
I went to the E.R. and was told they were going to check heartbeat, do an ultrasound, blood, and urine test to see what could be going on. First thing they did was heart rate for baby and luckily baby was ok in there. After checking me they found out that my cervix is having a hard time with the pressure from the pregnancy and I will likely have this issue on and off. Basically the less I am lifting and standing, the better off I will be this pregnancy. They also did an ultrasound to make sure baby was ok and the placenta was in good position. Baby was so wild in there! The ultrasound tech asked if I knew what I was having and I said I would find out in a few days. I don't want to spoil it because I am not 100% sure but I do think I know the sex of the baby now. At first the technician was like "The legs are crossed but if I had to guess I would say it's a _____. Oh wait! I think it's a _______. Yup i'm pretty sure now it's a _____. See if you can fill in the blank! My family is making fun of me that I won't tell them but what if this tech is wrong and everyone hears the wrong gender? That wouldn't be fun! I'm hoping Thursday baby cooperates so I don't hear 2 genders at once…scary!
I wish there was a person I knew who had a similar pregnancy like this. It's so frustrating feeling alone this time around. Mason's pregnancy was so easy compared to this one. I feel like best rest will be in my near future if this doesn't stop and I'm praying baby will be ok. I am the type of person who needs to know why for everything and in this situation I just need to throw my hands up and hope everything will be ok. Also, I want to say a special thanks to my grandma, Mandi, Brittany and Renee for being there for Mason and I while I had to go to the E.R. You ladies are the best.
This Thursday I will have my ultrasound which I am very excited about. I will be announcing the gender probably soon after. I wanted to incorporate Mason announcing it to everyone on video somehow but I haven't thought of a clever way yet. Hope you are all having a great week!
