Baby Shower #1

On Saturday my cute friends gave me my first baby shower. It was small and sweet. We had only 14 people there but it made it nice, since my next showers will have alot of people at them. I got so much stuff from hand made blankets, bottles, clothes, space saver high chair, bumbo with tray, baby carrier, handmade sweater with matching hat, frames, and her mobile. We played two games and had a light lunch. Thanks to my friends Megan and Becci for giving me my shower.

Baby Update...

Yesterday I went to see my doctor for my 30 week appointment. I am doing much better after my week of bed rest. They took my blood pressure which was 100/68, they did a urinalysis, and took my weight. He measured me and I am right on target! He also listened to her heartbeat, beating away at 145 BPM. And he gave me the ok to go back to work but I can only work 8 hours a day. I usually work one 10 hour shift a week that usually turns into one or two 12 hour shifts. No more of that! He also checked my hands and feet for swelling. I have to go back on May 4. I will keep everyone posted.

A Belly Picture...

Finally a belly picture for all of you who have been wanting and waiting to see one.

Easter...

This year for Easter, Jake and I started the day off by going to breakfast at Midvale Mining with his family. After breakfast we went over to his parents house and got our Easter gifts. Later in the afternoon we went over to my parents house for dinner and got our Easter gifts over there. Grandma and Grandpa Carsey and Jordison got us so many cute things for the baby.

Bed Rest!!

Yes I am on bed rest, but only till Monday (hopefully). On Sunday night I got up to use the rest room at about 2 am like I usually do, but it was not only urine I had massive diarrhea followed by vomiting. This went on till 8 am Monday morning. I then started to have back pain with a heavy pelvic pressure then labor pains. So around 9:30 am my mom took me into labor and delivery where they hooked me up to fetal monitors. The baby looked great and was never in distress, but I was showing a lot of contractions along with uterine irritability. They put an I.V. in and got me started on a liter of saline along with a dose of Zofran for nausea. They then started to give me another liter of saline. After I had both liters I was starting to feel much better but was still showing contractions and irritability. They then had me go to the bathroom so they could do a urinalysis. While we were waiting for the results they started me on a third bag of saline. My doctor had them check my cervix at this time. My cervix was closed but very soft. This concerned my doctor. He had them give me a shot of Terbutaline which within 20 minutes should stop the contractions. After about 10 minutes the contractions had almost gone away. We got the results back from the urinalysis which showed that I was still very dehydrated after the two bags of saline so my doctor wanted me to have a fourth bag. During that fourth bag I started showing some irritability again but not like it was. My doctor felt ok sending me home but on bed rest until my appointment on Monday. So I guess I have gotten some weird virus which made me have diarrhea and vomit which then made me dehydrated so my uterus got irritated which then caused me to have contractions. So this is why I have been put on bed rest for a week. I will let everyone know how things go on Monday.
