Where to begin...

Today I hit 23 weeks. 1 week away from possible viability & 3 weeks away till the 3rd trimester. Very surreal if you ask me.

I'm having another ultrasound next week to check on my low lying placenta. I really don't need extra complications but I hate work so bad right now I could deal with scheduled bed rest & c-section. I know I don't need to wish for problems. I don't even want to know what the worst case scenario is. I will just be so happy to see my little boy again during the ultrasound.

On the topic of my little boy. He's been working on giving his mother a stroke. I had a little scare last week (I'll fill you in a minute)& he was so active that day. Even though I was dealing with trauma, I wasn't worried about him, he was letting me know all day that he was ok. Now he has been so quiet since! This kid is going to be grounded when he gets out of here. I mean I have felt him move but so infrequently & far between that I have been wearing out the Doppler.

Now onto my trauma. Last Wednesday I was getting out of the shower & felt something run down my face. I go to wipe it away thinking it was water. Oh how wrong I was! It was blood & a lot of it! It was coming from my nose & I could not get it to stop. I was screaming for my husband. I had a puddle of blood in each hand. It was dripping on the floor. It was a damn crime scene. This super flow bleed lasted for 25 minutes!!! After I paged the on call OB, I started to blow dry my hair & bleeding started again. Another 15 minutes of blood loss sent me to the ENT doc to get my nose scoped & cauterized! Sounds like a heap of fun, huh?!?

That's all for now I'll check in next week after the ultrasound.
