Week 25: Big Scare #2
Mood:  chillin'
I'm so used to my little bugaboo kicking me everyday in his usual pattern (every 4-5 hours) that when I didn't feel him at all today, I panicked. I really started to feel uncomfortable about it around midnight. He ALWAYS kicks around midnight. Then morning and afternoon came and went and still NOTHING. I kept telling hubby I was worried. He said it was probably nothing, that he was sleeping in there. Finally I couldn't take it anymore, not knowing if my baby was ok or not. Hubby took me to the neighborhood clinic because our hospital is kind of a distance away and we knew the doctor there. So I had an ultrasound done and there he was with his beautiful little heart beating and moving very softly that I could hardly feel him! I thanked God he was ok and I went home so happy and relieved. At the clinic they told me when you have pain or spotting or bleeding that's usually a sign when something is wrong. And that babies sometimes don't move as much as they usually do, like if they're sleeping all day. I felt a little foolish but at the same time I'm glad I checked because you never know. So this was my second biggest scare in my pregnancy. The first one was bleeding early in my pregnancy (turned out to be nothing serious) which I wrote about somewhere in this blog.
In other good news...the inlaws from hell are leaving for good tomorrow! I couldn't be happier if I'd win the lottery. It has been a nightmare with his parents in my home, especially his mother. I didn't know my husband was a mama's boy. It was pretty disgusting to see. I feel as if my New Year hasn't started yet. Really. But it will begin as soon as they leave. We have so many things to do: clean the house, pack everything for our move, buy some things, get ready for baby's arrival, get our papers in order, etc...I just hope his parents won't visit again. And I'm thankful that the baby wasn't here yet because his mother would've been more unbearable!
