>I think he looks like Josh...

>I said I'd put up some pics from yesterday..The first one is of the front of his face and the second is his profile. I think he def. has Josh's profile. I'll have to get a picture of Josh's so I can really compare.
Happy Fourth everyone!!

>Home and exhausted.

>After a long day, I'm finally home. I was at the doctor's office for a long time, then I sat in traffic for 3 hours. It sucked. They could not find any reason for the cramping. She said that it could be the start of a bladder infection and it's not registering in the urine yet. The pain is not RL. The u/s was great! The baby was pretty still and my cervix is long and closed, not funneling. He's still a boy! My placenta looks great. As far as the cramping goes, I am just supposed to drink water and rest. I can also take warm baths. If the cramps get worse, got to L&D, if I still have them next week, I have to go back in. I would post some ultrasound pics right now, but I'm am so tired. Maybe after I eat something.

The baby was cute on the ultrasound! I got to see his nostrils; he looked like a little piggy or a frog. I know, they aren't the same, but still. He kept his hands near his face the whole time. He is/was head down. His legs were over his head. His little heart was beating away at 150bpm. That always makes me smile. I'm so relived that he is A-ok in there. I'm just going to relax this weekend.

>update to cramping

>Well, it's day 3 of cramping. I called the OB this morning and they decided that 3 days of cramping is not normal and I should go in. I'm actually sitting in my car writing this between appts (using the hospital's internet). My first appt was an internal exam. My cervix is closed, but he found no reason at all for cramping or the lower back pain and abdominal pressure that I have. He said that my urine was clear (I imagined it was considering I drank 150 oz of water yesterday). He is still concerned due to the duration of the cramps, so I have an ultrasound at 2 today; about 20 minutes from now. He said the ultrasound will determine if my cervix is funneling or shortening; which is not a good thing, but if it is, it's good we found it early rather than later.
I know my little guy is OK though. He is in there wiggling around. I hope that they find a reason for my abnormal cramps, I just don't want a scary reason. In my mind, if something isn't normal, there must be a reason for it? We will see.

I left the dr. office and got some lunch and went to bloomingdales. I picked up a few cute things for the baby. For some reason I just can't shop for myself right now. I'll post some pics when I get home.

>Cramping=Hell

>Yesterday, my day started out very normal. I slept in; but only because I was up every 3 hours. I ate breakfast and off Harley and I went for our walk. I was about a third of the way into my walk when I started getting some cramps. Of course, I immediately freaked out and went straight home. In 3 hours I had 68 oz of water. The cramping was still there. I emailed my OB and of course I never heard back from him. I decided that I'd just lay down. That worked until I got back up. All this time, I could feel the baby moving around and kicking. Around 5:30 or 6, I decided to just go ahead and call the on call doctor. A semi-nice person called me back within 15 minutes or so. She told me that I was to do nothing. Put my feet up and be sure to drink water. She also told me not to go on my walks for a few days. She really freaked me out when she told me that if the cramping got worse to go to Labor and Delivery. If I still have cramps today, to call the office and go in for a visit. I did as I was told. Low and behold, I STILL have cramps today. I woke up to some round ligament pain. That hurt. I just have dull cramping and I'm trying to decided whether or not I need to call the doc and go back in. I know what they'll do. They will pull out the doppler and listen, which is fine, but I can fell him moving.

I will eat breakfast and then decide. I hope today is not another day of cramp hell.

>Up 7 and 10?

>I had an OB appt today. My blood pressure was amazing, 106 over 75. That is MUCH better than it was for my big ultrasound. I guess I was just SO excited. I gained 4 pounds since my last visit. Grand total for weight gain is 7 pounds. I know it should be more, but honestly I eat. I stay active too, but I eat. I am one of those girls that loves food. I crave veggies though. I could eat them all day, every day. I never want fruit, but I have found a way to incorporate them into my diet. Yummy fruit smoothies. So far it's working. I'm going to just keep that up until I get bored with it. The doc said that the baby sounds great; heartbeat in the 150s. He's exactly where he should be and doc said there are no concerns at all. I like that news. I also got the registration information for the hospital. That sure makes it seem very real!

I decided that I'd finish all of Josh's work clothes today. I absoutely despise washing his work clothes. First of all, they are disgusting. There's no second of all, they are just gross. They are greasy and oily. I guess that's what happens to a diesel mechanic's clothes? Anyway, someone forgot some money in their pants. I like when that happens. Now I'm 10 dollars! Wahoo! Here's my loot!
