AHHHHH Freak out!

I am starting to freak out just a little bit... it all started Friday ( well all of last week ). I started having a lot of discomfort. I know, I should expect this because I am carrying another person inside my body and all that but, this did not and does not feel normal to me. It's a ton of pressure really low so I let it ride a few days to see what happened. On Thursday evening, I had a tiny bit of spotting (sorry if that is TMI) nothing major at all, I mean slight slight spotting when I wiped. But, it was enough to send me in panic mode. So, I kept an eye on things over night and in the morning I had just a tad more. So, I debated on if I should call my OB or wait until todays appt to talk to him about it. Being it was a Friday, I tried to think what advice I would give to someone in my situation and I decided just to call and talk to the nurse and see what she had to say about the situation. I was not sure which office my OB was working out of that day as he rotates offices. I called it mentioned he was in Dublin which is literally 5 minutes from my work so I left my message. So, the nurse calls back and it's not the one I particularly like, one of his nurses is wonderful, the other, not so much. I told her I had been experiencing a lot of pressure and pain throughout the week and had a little spotting which was a concern to me. She asked a few more questions. Then proceeded to ask me if I was at work. I was thinking okay she wants me to run over for a quick check...then she said, to go to L&D if I really wanted to get checked or go home and rest over the weekend "pelvic rest" no sex or anything in the vagina ( are you kidding me?? like that is the last thing on my mind right now lady!) if it gets any worse go directly to L&D. So I ask if my OB is in Dublin today as the message stated and she said yes but he is booked. That upset me, not a little but a lot! Okay- you want me to go to the L&D at the hospital where I will have to be admitted and hooked up to monitors for several hours, not to mention be charged probably several THOUSAND dollars for the trip?? He can't fit me into his schedule for 5 minutes to check me just in case?? Sadly, last time I called and thought I had a UTI the other nurse fit me in without any issues at all at the end of the day. Needless to say I was upset and decided just to go home and rest. I left work at lunchtime and took a nice nap when I got home after of course stopping for a double steak burger, cheese fries and a half and half milkshake from steak and shake (chocolate/banana, just in case you care :-))

So, Friday evening I did a bunch of cleaning or like organizing, just getting rid of old papers, including all my RE paperwork, which felt so good! Saturday, I woke up at 4:30 AM, bright eyed and had a snack, got online for a while and then went back to bed. Chris got up with Aiden at 7:30 ish so I slept in until 9:00 which was nice! We took out neighbor and Aiden to Galaxy Games which is a indoor playground to let them get out so energy. I sat around and did some people watching. ( very interesting crowd!) Then we went to dinner at cheeseburger in paradise. Sunday I woke up with Aiden so Chris could sleep a little longer then we went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast, which is my most favoritest place to eat breakfast! It was fabulous as usual! Then we went to the grocery store. Later that afternoon, Amy came over and we headed down into the basement, I told her to take what she wanted for Sethy from Aiden's old clothes and I went through his 0-3 month stuff and pulled out a lot of onsies and sleepers that I can use for Ava. I also found the bedding set so now I can use the pillow to match up the paint and some other things I need to get for the nursery. I really need to get started on that stuff! It's starting to drive me crazy, I have a little touch of OCD when it comes to having things on a to do list especially when I know there is a time limit involved!

This morning I woke up at 4:00 AM once again, and could not go back to sleep. I was a little uncomfortable. I also just kept thinking of all the things I need to do before the baby arrives....then I started thinking about my camera and how I don't like it at all so I need to take it back and get another one...then back to the nursery...then I thought I need a swaddler, they didn't have those when Aiden was a baby and she needs one of those...just everything you can imagine running through my mind....didn't fall back to sleep until probably 15 minutes before the alarm went off and I had to get up for work! Lovely...guess I better get used to it as in three months I will be having to get up several times to feed the little one.

So, I am heading to the OB here in a few minutes, Chris is picking me up at work. I plan on asking if he gets the messages when patients call in or if the nurses take those calls and decide on their own which are important enough for him to be notified since I am obviously still a little upset about Friday's events. I hate complaining about my aches and pains because I am truly so happy to be pregnant. This time around is a little different than with Aiden. I just want to make sure since I have feelings I didn't have when I was pregnant with him that everything is normal and the baby is healthy. I know she is moving like crazy so that gives me peace of mind. I also get a shot today in my butt, that should be fun! I am sure I will update later!
