Keep cookin’!
It has been so crazy how different this pregnancy has been compared to my pregnancy with Izzy. I had such a great pregnancy with Iz, I definitely had the typical nausea and tiredness at the beginning with her, but 12 weeks hit and it was like a light switch and I felt great the rest of the pregnancy. This little guy is giving me a run for my money! I was really sick up until about 20 weeks with him…which was so tough chasing around a 1 year old in the midst of that…but we managed. Since I hit 20 weeks I truly have felt great! Finally the beauty of that second trimester kicked into gear and I have had lots of energy and felt super.
Well, last weekend we were just home (you can read the previous post), but throughout the weekend I noticed that I was cramping some, nothing super severe but enough for me to take notice. And it just kept happening throughout the weekend, so finally on Sunday I told Sean I was going to call the doctor Monday morning just to let them know and see what they thought. Well sure enough they wanted me to come in, so the hooked me up to the contraction machine thing, and sure enough within 20 minutest I had a contraction, and it just kinda worried the nurse practitioner if I had been feeling those all weekend, so she didn’t put me on extreme bedrest, but I had definite orders to stay close to home with no major walking, grocery shopping (good thing I did that before I went to the doctor ha!), and no major lifting (don’t know how you do that with a 1-year old 
)! They just wanted to make sure I didn’t start having 4 contractions in an hour, then that would be bad news! So needless to say we have really taken it easy this week. This little guy needs to keep cookin’ for now! We have had some really sweet visitors this week which has been nice for Iz. We only have about 12 more weeks until this little guy is going to make his debut and I am really just wanting to soak up my time with Iz. I am going to miss this time of it just being her (not at all that I am not ecstatic about this little guy, believe I truly truly am) it is just this time with Iz has been so so special and we are just a little team throughout the day! I have no doubt she is going LOVE being a big sister! She is already so nurturing it is crazy! She is going to love this little brother to pieces! So all that to say I go back to the doc week after next and I’m hoping I will be in the clear and Iz and I can start getting back out and about again! We did enjoy an outing with Daddy today, lunch at Chez Zee and a run to Babies R Us and oh it felt so good to get out of the house!!
I'm the wife to a wonderful, godly husband who I couldn't adore more! I'm overwhelmed by the blessing of my two precious kiddos, Izzy, 1 1/2, and Owen, newborn. I love being a mom to these 2 and getting to do ministry alongside my man. And incredibly thankful for a Savior that loves me!
Praying for you guys!! Love you!!
Oh my goodness! We’ll be praying that he stays put for much longer. Take it easy!
