Well last week was a tough one. I started feeling a lot of pain, felt like cramps and other issues last weekend. Finally decided to call my dr. Wednesday morning (day before Thanksgiving) and go in. She ended up scheduling me an emergency ultrasound and was pretty upset because I was supposed to have one this week and Rod was going to go but it didn't happen that way. We were pretty upset that he couldn't go. So we found out that the baby is perfect! I was very relieved to find out that the baby was fine! We have the gender in a sealed envelope which we will be opening Christmas morning :) Anyways, for me I am not so perfect. My old c-section scar apparently made too much scar tissue on my uterine wall and my bladder adhered to it a few years ago. Not a big deal when your uterus is small, now that mine is growing is causing a lot of pain. My Dr. said unfortunately it will get worse before it gets better and my bladder will be stretched out pretty bad. So I am not thinking about that right now at all! So I am dealing with the pain through Tylenol and a heating pad. This will probably be it for us, not sure if I want to go through this pregnancy thing again......God new if this was my first baby, I wouldn't have had a 2nd one.
Thanksgiving was amazing, didn't think I was going to see my parents because they are still in the field, but they decided to take a day off so we could come visit. I am sure it was more so they can see Aidan instead of me, but I will take it either way :) After visiting with my parents, we drove to Mokane and stayed at Rod's parents' house. We got to meet out newest niece Adaline and she is so adorable. She is 9 weeks old now and perfect! Now I can't wait to meet my little one in a few months whether it is a boy or a girl :)

18 weeks!
We just had a check up a couple of days ago and it was the first time we heard the heart beat not on the ultrasound! It makes it so real when you can hear it. Poor Aidan was diagnosed with H1N1 last Thursday and we have been dealing with it ever since. He had spiked fevers of over 105 and that was pretty scary. Yesterday he ran low grade temps off and on so Rod stayed home with him again today(Monday) and we are hoping that he can go back to school tomorrow!
I have been feeling the baby move since last week and it feels like flutters. It's been almost four years since I have had this feeling and forgot what it is like. It is really making me nauseous on top of my night sickness. I thought it would have gone away since I am 18 weeks but no end in sight. Hopefully in the next few weeks I can get some relief and get some sleep!
This weekend since we were stuck inside taking care of my baby, we decided to work on the nursery. I had already painted it a couple of months ago a neutral color and the same two colors in Aidan's "new" room, chocolate brown and a pear green. It looks really cool, I love the new colors. We started going through all of the tubs that we have kept in the attic of Aidan's baby stuff and started washing and putting away. It was fun getting all of that stuff out and getting his old toys out and washing those. I had so much fun going through all of it and putting stuff in order. We thought we would get a head start because I am in grad school right now as well and my time is started to get limited the further I am in the program. Our next appointment is December 2, 2009 and I will keep everyone posted.
