Pregnancy Update!!

Well we have good news and not so great news. Lets get the not so great news out of the way.

I went to the Doctors yesterday and we were talking about the pain in my lower back. After telling him how excruciating and sometime debilitating it was, and that I was not sleeping at all. He then asked if I was experiencing certain symptoms and I confirmed that I had experienced 4 of the 5 that he had mentioned. He then told me that we needed to order an MRI. The doctors said that he was ordering it only for precautionary reason, and his main reason is that he is worried that baby could be sitting on my spine. If she is sitting on my spinal, she could be causing irreversible damage(such as being paralyzed). So catching it sooner then later would be a good thing. He did say that he doubted that she was sitting on my spine, but that it is a possibility that he wants to rule out soon. I go in for the MRI at 12:20 AM(yep not a typo, I guess they do MRIs around the clock here) on wednesday. I go back to the doctor on the 19th to talk options. If she is infact sitting on my spine I will have to go see a nuro or othopedic surgeon. I have not the slightest idea what they would do, so I am kind of in the dark on that one.

Sometimes I feel like if it isn't one thing then, its another. Oh well.

Good news is that we are rapidly gaining weight. Baby's heart rate is in the 140 range. She has been kicking me like crazy, which can account for a little of the sleeplessness(thank goodness for naptime). I doubt that I get 20 minutes to myself when she isn't kicking, I bet that is why I am in so much pain. Baby is almost two pounds and measures roughly 14 inches. She can start to hear now, which I completely believe. When she hears Brett in the Morning, she must get so excited cause that is when she kicks the most and the hardest. I think the two will be fast friends. I did the glucose test, which I neither hate nor love. Honestly though it really isn't as bad as some people make it out to be. However it does leave you feel sluggish with a little headache. I have yet to find out the results. 97 days to go!!

On to even better news, the weather was 68 with a slight breeze. It has been a super georgeous day and I am anticipating the arrival of spring. We went to the park today, and brett had a blast on the slide. I was going to take my camera, but decided against it. Dang it I missed a lot of fun and laughter. I will take it next time!!
