I know I know


I know I am a few days behind. I just didn't have anything new to report! I wanted to wait for my appointment that we had yesterday to blog about this week.

32 weeks with you sweet pea. Well we got to see you again :) YEAH. BUT before we get to that let me start with the beginning of 32 weeks. 32 weeks, I got to got to the Dr. and just listen to your heartbeat and I could even hear you moving around in there. I love it. Even though it was very boring sitting there for 45 min with nothing to do, YOU entertained me :) You didn't like the monitoring AT ALL. The next day you would prove that to papa and I.
32w1d was a day like any other day. Except I actually did house work. LOL I was doing dishes and my lower back started to hurt. SO I laid on the couch and noticed some mild cramping. It went away with just rest. SO I go up and did some more cleaning in the kitchen. Cleaning out some drawers to put bottles and baby bowls and plates into. Drawers for out Sweet pea. I started to feel the same again so I went to the couch and rested. I found out while resting that I needed to go to the Dr office to pick up a drink for another gestational diabetes test. SO when papa got home, I went to get the gross drink. On my way home I was just not feeling too good. I got home and was cramping and just felt sick. SO I laid down for a few hours and the cramping just was not going away. It would come and go every few min. SO I called my Dr and she told me she want me to go to Labor and Delivery. That she didn't trust my uterus. I don't either. This is how it started with Kenner. A day of cramping, A day of contractions, The day he was born. SO I was not going to mess around. So at around 8pm we headed to the hospital. I noticed that when I was walking I also had a lot of pressure. We got hooked up to the monitors to listen to your heartbeat and watch contractions. Because of where they could find your heartbeat. They say you were head down. You HATED this. I have decided that you will have red hair.....It makes some sense to me. LOL While being monitored I had a point where I could not breath and got light headed and then you disappeared from the monitoring. Then it picked you up again. BUT your heartbeat sounded so far away. SO the nurse had to find you again. LOW AND BEHOLD YOU FLIPPED!!!! You are now BREECH! Hope you flip back soon. Although I am not looking forward to it! Not VERY COMFORTABLE. You kicked and punched and I am sure headbutted the monitors until we got off them. They gave me water, the pressure I was feeling went away. The cramping subsided even though I still was having them. They were not every few min. We got to go home. 32w2d was our appointment. We waited FOREVER, no really we did. Over an hour! BUT finally it was time to see you and guess what, she confirmed you are breech. Silly girl. I also lost a pound SO I am now 3 pounds up from my pre pregnancy weight! We found out some information about mommy's condition Cholestasis of  pregnancy. I will have an amnio done at 37 weeks and if your lungs are mature we will have you :) THAT is less then 5 weeks away!!!! EEEKK lots to do. I found out that we will be doing twice a week non-stress test....lucky you sweetie! with once a week AFI. I also found out what my liver function test was and my bile acids where. Liver function test (LFT) normal is 0-40 mine was in the 400's. Bile acids 0-10 is normal mine where 86. SO because of my LFT I have to see a GI because something is just not right! I have that appointment next Tuesday.
We went to get you your bringing home outfit!!! its SUPER cute. Papa picked it out. On our way home we had a little accident. Someone rear ended us. Of course we were worried about you, BUT you are just fine. We didn't get hit that hard BUT we do need a new bumper on my new car : / ok its not NEW but it not even a year old yet. SO that is still new.
I also don't remember if I told you. I saw a dermatologist last week and she gave me a cream to help with the itching. ITS heaven and I just want to bath in it!!!!
Well that has been the week we have had!
WE love you with all our hearts Sweet pea
Mommy and Daddy

Itching

31 weeks with you Sweet pea....................Its been a long week. I started to itch on Sunday the 4th of September. I was at church, It started with my palms and then to the soles of my feet. Then it turned into a full body itch, even my ears and throat were itching. I had to leave, I went home and took some benadryl. With Monday being a holiday my Dr office was closed so on Tuesday I called and talked to a nurse told her about what was going on. She then scheduled me for lab work to be done the next day Wed. I had my blood taken by some very nice lady. She did a good job.They were testing for Cholestasis of Pregnancy. I had to wait for my results of the blood test until Monday the 12th. I called the Dr office again and my mid-wife was not in. Of course she takes Mondays off. SO the nurse told me that my liver enzymes and bio Salts were very high, but she would talk to my mid-wife tomorrow about them and see what they needed to do. I said ok....what else am I to do?? I not sure if I have this cholestasis even though my levels were high. Later on that day (Monday) the nurse called me back and told me that she called my Mid-wife at home talked to her about my levels and then my Mid-wife talked to a Dr and they decided I needed to see a MFM (a high risk dr) and a surgeon because something was going on with my gallbladder. They had already made my appointments for me, for the following day. SO yesterday we went to see the MFM and got a huge long ultrasound. Seeing Kennadee again was GREAT. She is doing good. A little too good, that I have to have the gestational diabetes test again. She is measuring 14 days ahead. Which in sense is not good. BUT she is healthy. We got to see here practicing her breathing. IT was great. We saw her cute ear, her nose and lips straight on. It was great. The MFM wants me to start non-stress tests. He also wants me to see a dermatologist for the itching part of the Cholestasis. I started on a pill to help with the excess levels I have. I definitely have Cholestasis of pregnancy. Its kind of scary. I know we wont go over 37 weeks of pregnancy. After that there is a high rate of Stillbirth. SO By the end of October we will have a baby. EEEKKK that is crazy to think. There also is a high risk of preterm labor. Which I am cool about, I am not cool about a stillbirth. SO If I go into preterm labor its crazy to say this I welcome it. I know the further I go on in this pregnancy the more I am going to be FREAKED out. Anyways. I see the MFM again in 4 weeks to see how little miss Kennadee is doing. Hopefully get into a dermatologist today or tomorrow. The MFM also told us to really consider another pregnancy. I have a 90% chance of getting this again in my next pregnancy. And the symptoms start sooner. That means itching sooner, preterm labor sooner and stillbirth sooner. Kyle and I have made no decisions yet on adding to our family. We are waiting to see how this goes to make a final decision. The surgeon wants to do a wait and see how I feel after pregnancy to decide if my gallbaldder needs to come out! I am cool with that. Yesterday was a long day. BUT at least we  know what we are going to be doing to have a healthy little girl come to us soon. WE can't wait!!!

30 weeks oh my

SO I have been a bad blogger. BUT today it has been 30 weeks with you sweet pea. Nothing much has changed since the last time I posted. We had a baby shower and you got lots of cute outfits. I can't wait to see you in them all. Its going to be so much fun! You might not like it :) I did however have my first "real" contraction today. It was super early in the morning. 2:30ish am to be exact. It hurt like CRAZY. Then it was over and you are still with me. It didn't turn into anything. SO I am so so HAPPY about that. I am going to leave you with some pictures of the shower. I didn't get to many. I guess that is ok. We do get to see you in 2 days and we are pretty excited about that!

AHHHH

Have you ever just wanted something SO bad and just could not afford to do it, or get it?? Well That is what happened to me. There is this concert on Sept 9th that I have been wanting to go to since I found out they were coming. Rascal Flats. I asked everyone for tickets for my birthday, and of course didn't get them. I mean 54 dollars to sit on the grass is a bit steep. SO then I go to trying to win the tickets. And of course no luck.....UNTIL YESTERDAY!!! I can't be more excited. I turned on the radio just as they were giving out the phone numbers to win tickets SO I started to call. BUSY is all I got!! Until it started to ring, and they this lady picked up and was like who is this and I was all like Emalee and she was like you are going to Rascal Flats and I was like I am she was like ya and I was like are you SERIOUS!!! AHHH I can't believe I won something SO completely awesome. Sarah Evans is coming with them AND the best part is that Kyle who does not like Rascal Flats one bit said he would go with me :) I JUST CAN'T WAIT until next FRIDAY!!!  WAY TO GO ME!!!!
