The months flew by

The months are flying by and each appointment is better then the next. I love my OB's staff they are great always there to answer all my questions.. I couldn't wait to start showing I was actually very excited to start showing... I had bad morning sickness until exactly 16 weeks I would throw up all day long, but it was my constant reminder that the baby was doing great and was growin like a wild flower...A few weeks before we knew what we were having would nick named the baby SHIM meaning boy or girl, because I never wanted to refer to my baby as an "it."

At 20 weeks it was confirmed that we were havin a GIRL! Oh man was I excited I was expecting the doctor to say your having a boy, so when he said a girl I was a little surprised! My dad was too cute he was hoping for a Boy but he came around to a girl and he was super excited, he would talk about the things he would teach her and say "Ya when she comes over to Gran-Dan's house Im gonna teach her to be lazy and tell you in a minute Mom, just like you used to say to me and your mom."

At 25 weeks we tried to go camping but I started having contractions, I ended up in the L&D. I called my OB back at home and he said just go in have everything check and then let me know.. Well everything was fine, I was just a little dehydrated and change in elevation can actually make you go into labor..Who knew? So we ended up coming back home, better safe then sorry.. A few days later I was hospitalized after my growth scan with the U/S tech. My amniotic fluid was a little low and my little princess wouldn't show her all the movements they needed to see..

I was there over night to be watched and make sure she was doing alright, I started having small contraction while I was there. So they gave me shots to stop the contraction, I had a blood thinner shot so my blood didn't clot while I was laying in bed, and I had a shot for the babies lungs just in case they needed to do an emergency c-section, if she still wasn't moving.. Well by the next morning after breakfast my OB came in again and did another U/S and she was bouncing around like crazy! He laughed and said well she is pretty cute.. After this I was hospitalized every other week because of the same things.

 The nurses became more like family then nurses.. I had a favorite nurse she was there almost every time I went in so we got to know each other well.. Her name is Annette, she actually knew some of my husbands family and come to find out I knew her husband from a previous job I had. She is just a doll, always had a smile on her face, never seemed to be bothered by all my questions. After the second time I was hospitalized I told my mom, you know I hope Annette is there when I deliver Cadence, she is the best nurse!
