Updates:
Over the past couple months Mr. Andrew has been quite the trouble maker! I haven't posted many updates because I haven't known where we were at in this process with the things that have come into question...but today I realized that I could use some prayer warriors my way so here are the updates.
Late in the second trimester I started thinning (if you don't know what that means...look it up). Significant issue but it stopped and I never had any contractions so life carried on as normal. Shortly after that process I began to experience serious PAIN...in my pelvic floor/inner thighs daily/hourly/etc...so I took out the running aspect of my life (this was a big hit to my emotional state because in my career and crazy life...running is my stress relief...it is my enjoyment...my fulfillment). I started seeing a "gentle chiropractor" and was back on track and feeling really good within a few weeks. There has been many questions about my "size"...belly size, that is. I carry small, I did with Connor and didn't expect much different this time around, but produce big kids...it is what it is! :) However, this time around it is becoming slightly more serious as I am measuring about 2 weeks behind in belly growth as of my appointment today. There are a billion things that could cause this and I will NOT google any of them because I will not freak myself out with the Internet scare tactics, I know better! I will have a follow-up ultrasound in 2 weeks to check Andrew's growth...at this point...his heartbeat and my vital signs are all really steady and good. If he is growing fine, life will resume as normal...which is what I am telling myself is the case because two weeks is a LONG time to stress about something that could be NOTHING. (yeah...I am already freaking on the inside but you won't ever see it on my face because I don't play that game hence the reason no one ever knows what is really happening in my head, my husband taught me that trick ;))
I will try to keep this blog updated more frequently as the weeks dwindle down. For now...see fun facts below!
1. Current craving: Asparagus
2. Sweets or Salty: Sweets all of a sudden (was salty before)
3. Current week: 34 1/2...CRAZY
4. Big brother: totally over the moon excited all of a sudden...he will be attending his first appointment with us for the ultrasound in two weeks
5. Daddy: calm, collected, totally chill...you know...the normal Don everyone laughs at...he hasn't changed! That's what I appreciate so much about him...he keeps me so very grounded during stressful situations.
