20 Weeks & Anatomy Scan

She passed! She is healthy, has everything where is should be, nothing out of the ordinary seen! I am thrilled. I never knew how nervous you can get until you have a baby growing inside of you, what a nervous wreck I've become. I guess this is what all mothers talk about... how they are constantly worrying and always on edge. I'm just so happy she is healthy. I've attached quite a few of the ultrasound pics below.

I've definitely been feeling her, it's very low... not where I was expecting to feel the flutters but the ultrasound technician said it's because of the way she's positioned. It's her legs kicking me towards the crotch... ouch, when that happens... it's exactly what they call it - LIGHTING CROTCH! She gets me in that cervical nerve or whatever and it's like a jolt down there. I wonder if that's how it feels when a guy gets punched down there, lol. At least it goes away quickly.

What else happened this week? We went to an abstract "golf leaf" painting ?class? I hate to call it a class, even though that's what they advertised, because they basically gave you paint and a few simple tips and said "GO". I mean, I get it's ABSTRACT and everyone will be doing something different, but yeah... very hands off. I've attached a picture of the one I painted. It's more than likely going in the nursery since it's got similar colors to the theme.

Oh yeah, my tooth. I forgot to update that. All is well... $900 later and I am fit for a permanent crown. I have a temporary one in now and thankfully ZERO pain! Dental work is so expensive. Not to get all political... but somethings got to give around here! I'm just glad my blood sugar numbers are getting back to normal, it was definitely elevated from the pain and stress. I still find that fascinating that you can raise your blood sugar just with stress and pain alone! I am proof of that.

I guess that's about all for now. I won't have too much excitement for next week to share (unless something surprising comes up) but the week after I will be in Connecticut! Yay! I can't wait. I know, I know... it's been mentioned in every post since I planned the visit... but I am just beside myself with excitement to see all my loved ones.

In the meantime, I am going to go back to soothing little Zoey with the lullaby I've picked out: Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds"... and it goes a little something like this:
Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Singing' don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright

Rise up this mornin'
Smiled with the risin' sun
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Saying', (this is my message to you)

Singing' don't worry 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Singing' don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright

Rise up this mornin'
Smiled with the risin' sun
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Sayin', this is my message to you

Singin' don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh
Every little thing gonna be alright, don't worry
Singin' don't worry about a thing, I won't worry
"'Cause every little thing gonna be alright (2x)

3 Months & COVID-19

The world is chaotic right now... just in time for little Miss Zoey Bear to turn 3 months! It's flying by. Right now she is finding her hands, munching on them, starting to hold onto things and loves to play with her soft books (mostly chew on them). Interacting with her is SO much fun and there is nothing better than to see her smile at you. Chris always melts when she smiles at him, he knows he is in for it! Right now we are in the middle of a new pandemic called COVID-19 (corona virus) and the country is being told to stay away from groups of 10 or more (some parts of the country - like New York - are told to stay indoors except for essentials). It's a strange world out there right now. Luckily, nothing much has changed over here since I am working from home and we barely were going out much anyways (with baby and all). I went to the grocery store to stock up on some food and the aisles were bare... No meats, paper goods, rice, canned goods and very little pasta among othe...

13 Weeks! 🤗

Yikes, it's been a quick week. At the start, I felt everything was moving as slow as molasses but not this past week.... Which has flown by for some reason. Things happening: 1. Saw the Gestational Diabetes nurse, I had a higher than normal A1C in my blood work so the OBGYN referred me to this clinic to start monitoring my blood glucose numbers. I got quite an earful on how I should be changing my eating habits and checking my levels (finger pricking) 4x a day. Fun, fun! I went grocery shopping and it cost me double what I normally pay (and less things Chris will even eat) which was a bummer. Hopefully I can manage to maintain it so they don't have to put me on insulin. Sometimes, even if you do your best, it's inevitable and the placenta and hormones cause so many issues, it's needed no matter how healthy you are eating. 2. No more Nausea! 3. My Marsha Bear had her little girl ❤️ and I can't wait to meet her in person. 4. OBGYN lost my blood wo...

It's Happening....

At ultrasound today and Zoey wasn't moving around like she should, got sent to labor and delivery for monitoring and even though she was looking great.... They decided it was time to start my induction. I'm now laying in the hospital bed, having contractions after my second dose of cryotec was given. This is supposed to soften my cervix, then I can get checked for dilation in a few hours. So yeah, this is happening. I'll try and keep this updated with my labor story as we go. Zoey will probably be here today (seeing as it's 3am) December 21st 2019. 12/21/19
