First off want to give a shout out to my brother Kevin, Happy Birthday!!! He turned 22 today, and is currently overseas serving our country. When he comes home in October, hoping we can all go out and celebrate his birthday. :o) Only a few more weeks til he comes home for leave.
Caleb has ANOTHER ear infection. This is his fourth one in the last 3 months. We saw a different dr. on base today. He put Caleb on a much stronger antibiotic, plus gave me a bottle of motrin for fever/pain. We go back in 3 weeks to get a follow up and test his ears. See why the infection keeps coming back. The dr. I saw today was mad at his regular dr. said she should of tooken care of this already. Finally someone who agrees with me! It was nice having someone who was actually trying to make him better instead of treating me like I didn't know what he needs. I'm his freaking mom I think I know my child way better then you! Going to try and see if tricare will switch the boys to this dr. I really liked him.
Pregnancy hormones suck, seriously I get mad/upset over every little thing. It can be the stupidest thing and I'll start crying or be in a bad mood for the rest of that day. Plus everything Vance seems to do gets on my nerves. Normally I wouldn't care or just laugh. But this last week I get upset or pissed off. Poor Vance I think I'm driving him crazy with my mood swings.
So I've been starting to feel a little kick here and there. At first I wasn't sure since its very light kicking. Baby still to small to give me those nice hard kicks that make my belly button pop out. Thats the strangest feeling when they kick your belly button out, or when they start making the belly dance, lol. Ok anyways back to light kicking. I thought maybe gas, but I know its baby. If I sit there and poke or laugh to hard I get a few little kicks at me. Like its saying, "NO MOMMY, I'M SLEEPING!". hehe.
Next week go in for checkup and labs. A little nervous since according to the lovely little book they give you on your apt to come it says, I'll be getting the Maternal Serun Analyte Screen. The reason I get nervous is because when I was 19 and pregnant with Bryce, the test came back positive for down syndrome. Which would make any mom worry about their child. It didn't change how we felt about Bryce. Just my doctor at the time kept talking about how terminating would be the best option. Which I was not doing! Or they would tell me to get an amnio, again not doing! Since they would sit there and tell me how I could lose him if I did that procedure so early in my pregnancy. I was 19wks, the risk at the time was 65-70% I could lose my baby. So I was very firm with NO! But they made me feel horrible at times all the way til the end. My ob was awesome about it, but the specialist she had me go to. I hated them. They made me feel like it was horrible to bring my son into this world. :o( I cried alot when I had to see those people. Anyways Bryce is healthy, my midwife who deliver said he was a very healthy little boy. She told me that as soon as he was born. So much relief I felt. The emotional rollar coaster finally ended when I held him for the first time. :o) I hope I don't ever have to go thru all those emotions or feel like everyone wants me to terminate ever again. It really scared me and made it hard to be happy with specialist saying I should terminate. Or take risk that could cause me to lose my baby. *wipes tears*
Ok anyways changing to something I'm excited about. Scheldule my u/s after my apt. Ready to see what we're having! :o) I've been counting down til I get to schedule it. Hopefully I'll find out soon, ready to start shopping for baby!!! :o) Love buying stuff for babies.
We have to move in March, the baby is due Feb. 28. I have never gone into labor on my own, so baby will probably be late til they induce me. In less ob decides to go early which she might due to my history with labor. Either way have to give birth then pack and move to our new place. We have to be out by March 16. Fun right? So if your bored and want to help us move, we would appreciate it! :o) Or if I happen to have baby before my mom can get out here, I might need someone to watch the boys so I have Vance there with me. I'll know for sure when mom is coming out, in October when he plane tickets are bought. She said she would stay and help us move to our house. Plus she wants to spend time with the grandbabies.
Well need to get off here, Bryce is already in bed. Need to get Caleb to sleep, his meds are helping alot. He's eating more and is not as fussy.
