Last Check-up

We went to our last ultrasound on Thursday Sept. 23. As of now, everything looks perfect. I'm down a couple of pounds, but Doc says that's okay. I'm still experiencing morning/afternoon/night sickness a couple of times a week, but again, it's nothing so bad that I want a prescription or anything. At my appointment, the babies heart rate was perfect, and all the small things they look for (fluid, fluid thickness, etc) was perfect for where I am right now. My BP was good, so everything is going great!

I have had some really bad pains though. My sciatic nerve in my left leg is pinched, and it keeps shooting sharp pains down my leg. I've felt like my leg has been asleep for three days and it's really tingly all the time, causing me to limp slightly. When I was teaching yesterday, it hurt so bad I started crying in the middle of teaching! My poor students didn't know what to do! I have also had some ligament pains on my sides, but I know that it is normal, so I'm not too concerned. The good news out of all of this is that I am finally getting my energy back, so I've been able to do more!

I went to Amy's shower this past weekend, and we had so much fun! We then went over to her house to watch the Carolina game with Amy and Brandon. We sorted through all of her presents and diapers (she got over 1,000 diapers...wow!) The game was disappointing, but it was nice hanging out with a couple who we are in the same boat with! However, at this point, Amy isn't feeling well and has been checked into L&D. This is really scary because her little man isn't technically due until the end of November, but he may be coming as early as the second week of October. Please keep Amy in your prayers as her family goes through this difficult time.

On a much, MUCH happier note, Congrats to my cousin for finding out that they will have a little boy in February! How exciting! :) Now Eliza will have another cousin she can play with...and all her cousins so far are boys!!! (All 4 of them! Crazy!)

My next check up is sometime in October, and we are finding out what we are having on November 15...a little later than we would have liked, but necessary due to scheduling purposes!

Until Next Time. . .
