30 weeks


Here is our Little Anabella Rose. Around 3.4 lbs now. Went in for my 30 week appointment along with the 3D Ultrasound. I am so lucky that my dr. gives me an 3D as part of the deal. I was so excited. Dave and I were hoping that this 3D would be better than Allisandria's. Her Ambilical (sp?) chord was totally in front of her face and all we could see was her eye. This little girl was doing the same thing, but we saw most of her face. She wasn't cooperating as much as we liked and the more we disturbed her by poking and prauding the more she seemed to dissappear and move her chord in front of her face. These were pretty good shots thought. I am happy with them. You can see the chord by her face. Isn't she soooo cute? I totally can't wait to hold her and kiss her and put her in cute girly things.
Also on a weird/scary note, on the 2nd (wednesday night) I was making dinner so it would be ready when dave got home. I had pulled the Corn bread out of the oven. I was standing on the left side of the oven as I always do, pulled them out, placed them on the stove, went to close the oven door and somehow stumbled and began to fall backwards over the open oven. As I was falling backward, and backward was the only place I was goin, I thought to myself, "I am going down regardless, so please avoid the HOT oven." I fell right over it, didn't get burned but totally landed on my butt and back towards my left side of my body a good 3 1/2 feet away from the actual place I was standing. I, being a big and tall girl, fell really hard, I hurt my foot, my hand an of course my back and bum. Since I was on the floor being blocked by the island from Allisandria's view, she began to cry. She was sitting in her chair beginning to eat dinner. I quickly stood up, shocked and in pain and told her I was ok. I went and sat by her, called dave and told him to come home immediatly cause I totally had just fallen. I knew if probably wasn't the best thing for the baby to be jossled in such a way. I started to get scared. Then the cramps/contractions started as I called the on call nurse at my Dr. office. She said I needed to come in immediatly. I called becca, she came and got me and we dropped Allisandria off at her house with her husband. I was in complete panick. I could barelly talk to Dave ont he phone casue I coudln't believe this was happening. I was expecting the worse and was scared of what could happen. Dave met us at the Hospital and we went right up to Labor and Delivery. Luckily my Dr. was on call and I started crying even more, cause I was facing reality, but then relieved casue I was in the right place and my Dr. was there. He saw me as I was signing in and assured me that everything was going to be fine. They got me in the triage room, and hood me up to the moniter to check the baby, took my blood for some tests, and then ordered a heavy duty Ultrasound to check if there were any tares, or if the placenta had detached at all. Everything was normal and perfect. Contractions had stopped soon after they hooked me up to the moniter. They were small ones thankfully, I would compare them to slight menstural cramping. I had began getting sore all over my body from the fall. We got home and took some meds. I slept pretty good, but got even more sore as the night went on. Now 2 days later, I feel like my ribs are bruised, my right groin, giong into my hamstring is all sore and pulled, and my left bum feels like i pulled the muscel, plus the arm they drew blood from totally is black and blew. The nurse today at the office said they probably blew a vein. I thought the lady did a good job taking it. It didn't bother me during the process in the slightest. Oh well, I am pretty achy, but happy that I have a prefectly healthy baby inside growing big and strong. This will go down as one of the scariest things of my life. I dont' think I thought I was going in to labor, but the fact that i was contracting, and obviously not far along to deliver a normal, healthy baby, facing a hospital visit, I wasn't sure what they were going to do to me. It was scary. All is well now. She is a lively little girl and I love watching her move. Hopefully she will move head down here soon. She is breech right now.

  4. I would have loved to see Sadie in 3D but not if it meant I had to take a huge spill in order to get it. I'm relieved to hear you and the baby are okay. I'm sorry for the extensive bruising. Those last weeks on me. Hope the rest of your week goes more smoothly!
