The past month has been, nothing short of uneventful. On the 23rd of March I turned 24. Who would've thought engaged by 22, married by 23, gonna be a momma by 24. Where does the time go?
The last big thing I talked about was my quad screen results. And here is a big update from that. The ultrasound came back good. They said my little boy looks good and healthy. Nothing wrong with his brain or his spine. The high risk doctor came to see me afterwards. And said he's never missed a defect, and he isn't going to start with my baby. So i'm really going to hold him to that. But they asked me a few questions, if I bled at all in my early pregnancy? No, other than cramping horribly. Things have been great. If i've ever had complications before? Um, no. Hello?! First pregnancy! So since I didn't bleed before. They can't seem to understand why my score came out high. So for that, i'm still considered high risk. And after 32 weeks they are going to do a stress test thing. I'll get more ultrasounds just to make sure Frederick is growing right on time. And make sure that he is growing. They said the only conclusion they think they can go with is that something is wrong with my placenta. And if that is the case they will know because in the third trimester. Is when i'll have complications. It was very annoying. I was 18 weeks at the time. How are you really going to make me wait 14 weeks to tell me how he is doing. Of course I get regular ultrasounds every month. Actually it's going on a month and half until my next one. But I won't actually be talking to the doctor until after 32 weeks. I wanna be able to talk to him soon. My mom had me at 32 weeks. So I know miracles can happen at that time. I wanna know what the hell i'm supposed to do if things go wrong before that. I've always been that person that needs to be in control. I need to have some sort of plan. I hate being blind sided. And the fact that they still think something can go wrong. Tells me that i'm gonna get the biggest blind side of my life. Oh and the doctor said he doesn't want me to go up to 40 weeks. So if my water doesn't break before 39 weeks. I will be getting induced.
Other than all that jazz, things have been going goodish. As good as they can get. I'm growing, and it's getting harder to get up from bed in the middle of the night. And it's getting more uncomfortable to sleep. But I manage, I don't know how. But I do. I feel him kick so much more now. And he is sitting so low that he like to take control over my bladder. I've found a solution even if I don't have to pee. Do it, every chance I get. Because if I don't.. Well you know what happens next. I'm still all belly. And boobs. I haven't really grown anywhere else. Thank god. Ive been growing anywhere from half an inch to an inch around my waist every week. I can only imagine at 39 weeks how i'll be. I still think he is gonna be a big baby like his daddy was.
My mom did a benifit plate sale to buy me a plane ticket home. So I can go home for a baby shower. And I will be home April 21st the 10th of May. I am very excited to be able to get good food now. And some big red. And just be home. It's been about or a little over 6 months since i've seen my family. And when your the attached mexican family like mine is. That feels like a century. My nephew has already turned one, And he is already walking. I'm missing so many new things. It saddens me. I'm very glad that Steven is looking for job in San Antonio. Because I really don't know how i'll keep my sanity if I can't call my family if I get in baby trouble. I'm sure i'm going to have some headaches while i'm home. Some family drama. But i'm looking to avoid as much as I can.
So next friday is sub ball. Military ball. It's an excuse for me to get pretty and spend a night with my husband. Let me tell you, when you are growing at rapid speeds. Dress shopping is your worst nightmare. But luckily I found a decent one that had room for my growing belly. And I was going to dare to wear high heels. But then I thought about it. And if they hurt my feet within an hour before I was pregnant. I can only imagine now. But I did find some cute ones for my easter dress. And I don't care if it hurts. I'm wearing them. They are just too cute not too. That will probably be the only time i'll wear them, at least while i'm pregnant.
So I think that is about it on the updates. April 30th will be my first baby shower back home. And June 4th will be my second one here on the island. I'll be like 26 weeks for the first one. And 31 weeks for the second. I hear the sooner the better. And I really had to work it out between the holidays that i'll be home. No one is gonna wanna go on Easter and i'm sure ladies who are already moms sure as hell aren't gonna wanna share their mother's day with me. So yup. That was my only choice. But i'm satisfied with it. I was getting anxious to have one anyone.
16 weeks and 2 days-ish until Frederick is here..
14 weeks and 2 days until i'm full term..
8 weeks and 3 days until my baby shower on the island..
4 weeks and 3 days until I hit the 3rd trimester..
2 weeks til I leave to Texas..
3 weeks and 3 days until my baby shower back home..
with all these things going on. I am more than sure that the rest of this pregnancy is going to fly by..
