Baby H is the size of a green olive.
How far along? 9 weeks
Maternity clothes? are taking over my closet, and I love it. I went thrifting with Maggie yesterday and she took me to some goldmines. It's been a while since I hunted through thrift stores, but I found some great pieces. For $35 dollars I got three dresses, a warm long sweater for fall, six tops, and a little onesie set for Baby H. Awesome!
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: I'm still sleeping through the night. Eventually, I'll have to buy a body pillow and stop sleeping on my back, but I'm treasuring the comfort of stretching out in bed until then.
Best moment this week: Signing up for our baby registry at Babies R US. Gabe and I had a blast picking out Baby H's furniture and gifts. Choosing decorations, clothes, baby furniture, and strollers makes the baby's arrival seem all the more real. In just seven short months, we'll be bringing home Lorelai or Max!
Scariest Moment of the week: Yesterday night was pretty terrifying. Gabe was at work and I started spotting around 9 pm. I didn't have any cramping or pain, but I called my OB right away and they told me to go to the emergency room. Thankfully, Gabe was closing with another manager, so he was able to come home right away to take me in. I spent the time it took him to get home praying and talking to the baby, telling it how much we love it. My positive thinking was partly to help calm myself also, because I was incredibly shaken up. Fortunately, it didn't take long for Gabe to get me to the ER. The hospital staff was so kind and thorough, which I really appreciated. After an IV, a series of tests, some waiting, and an ultrasound, my doctor determined everything is fine with me and little Max or Lorelai! Gabe and I are both so grateful and relieved! During the ultrasound, we were able to see our little bean's strong heartbeat (168 bpm), and we got to hear it this time as well! Tears of joy flooded my eyes as I heard the healthy, repetitive thump of Baby H's heartbeat. He or she is active, and was moving his/her little arms and legs all around during the ultrasound. Dance party anyone? The baby is developing well, and my due date was adjusted to October 27th. We're just so thankful that the baby is healthy. I'm determined that the next time I go to that ER will be at the end of October, and I will be delivering our little one!
