21 WeeksLots and Lots of Cramping!!! UGH! I haven't gone to the doctors because My Apt is in 2 weeks. Ive been trying to take it easy, but I'm pretty sure I already know what she is going to say. Shes going to tell me not to over do myself. Which is hard to do because this is me we are talking about. I always have to have a million projects going on at the same time. Shes going to tell me that if I dont slow down Ill be put on bed rest like with Brenton. Which I want to avoid at all costs because 2 months of sitting/ laying around sucked! Let along the thought of doing it for more than 2 months and taking care of Brenton. So I guess we will see.
Other than cramping, Ive been craving lots of yummy food! Like Pizza and quesadias! Plus lets not forget Ice Cream. I do crave healthy things though. Everyday I have granola bars in the morning and I have managed going through 1 Gallon of Orange Juice a week! The thing is I'm not gaining anything!
I have been super duper tired but cant manage to sleep! I think I end up falling asleep between 1 & 2 am and then have to wake up at 6am for work. Needless to say I'm trying to make it up on the weekends. I am feeling Savannah more and more. In the ultrasound they said she was standing right side up. So that explains all the kicking I feel at the bottom of my tummy.
This weeks Photo is 12 bows we got for Savannah and a cute Bow Holder! She will def. be one stylin' little girl! We have 4 more and 3 headbands not in this photo. We still need to get her a Black, White, Brown, Blue, and Green Bows! She is def all set in Pink! ;)
Ps. I'm going to start putting a photo of me either prego or something we bought for Savannah! :)

I loving Ice-cream as well! I really want smoothies all the time too. Good thing we don't keep ice-cream in the house. Have you tried ice-cream and pickles? I guess it's a pregnancy thing, I tried it and it was pretty good!
I was just reading about bedrest with regards to preterm labor. They were saying in this new magazine that a lot of Doctors do not really believe that bedrest will help reduce preterm labor. But they also said most Doctors still prescribe bedrest so they cover all their bases, and it also tends to help the mother feel like she is helping her baby. I'm sure there are many other reasons to be put on bedrest, but I think we should look into it more. Clearly your body is telling you that you do need more rest because of the cramping, but complete bedrest seems a little extreme. But all in all, it's better to listen to your doctor, but might as well talk to your doctor about the new studies and see what their feelings are about it. ok, thanks for reading my novel!
P.S. you and your little girl was in my dream last night. We were all in a spa.... She was already talking. She looked a lot like you, lots of dark hair, and she was really tall.
P.S.S. I gained 9 pounds in a month and a week.....but some how I'm still not showing a lot!
I'm not a pickle person... pregnant or not. haha. Thats something I can picture Christy doing! She loves Pickles!
That's interesting about what you found on bed rest. It makes sense. I'm thinking the reason why they put me on bed rest other than my fluids being low was because I'm always busy and on my feet. So it was the one way to get me not to be. Ive been getting a lot more massages with this pregnancy to help my body relax more. So hopefully that will help! :)
Ps. I hope she looks more like me! Because everyone thinks Brenton is a Mini Alan! Plus she needs some hair for all those bows I bought! haha.
Pss. I barely gained anything with Brent! I finally started gaining at 7 months pregnant! Just wait till your 2nd then your tummy will pop out so fast! haha.
Ok, so where did you get the cute bows from? both my girls need bows! =]
