23 Weeks
Ice Cream, Ice Cream and more Ice Cream! Is all this baby wants!!! My cravings have began as early as 8:30 in the morning!!! It's really amazing how I haven't put on anymore weight with the amount of Ice Cream Ive eaten! haha. We aren't talking about a normal scoop of vanilla Ice Cream here. We are talking a full bowl of Ice Cream, Hot Chocolate Syrup, marshmallows, sometimes Peanut Butter, Whip Cream and Sprinkles on top! As I'm writing about this it sounds really good... but ill hold off because I'm trying to have some control! haha.
This weekend has been full of naps, naps, and more naps! Probably my body trying to makeup for what I need! Sometimes I wish it could be the weekend all the time!
My next quest is to find a Doula! The doctor said it would probably be a helpful thing for me! The thing is Ive tried googling it and got nothing! Anyone know how I can find one?!
Monday was a fun night! It almost resulted to me going to the hospital. Brenton went to bed as usual at 8:30 and I was catching up on some Oprah (I'm obsessed I know!) When I started to get a really odd pain below my breast down to my belly button. At first I thought its heartburn! So I tried some Tums. But after a half hour it was just getting worse. So I remembered what to do for Braxton Hicks. Lay on your left side, walking, & drink some water. Again nothing seemed to help. In fact laying down made it worse. As the night went on, so did the severity of the pain I was feeling. By 10 pm I was crying and in a little ball. The pain was out of this world! Worse than what I felt with Brenton! It was different that a cyst rupturing, or passing a stone, in fact i think 300 time worse. All that pain literally made me sick to my stomach. I threw up a good 6 times within the next hour, until there was nothing left! I called Alan at work and we both agreed that if it hadn't gone away by 3am he would take me to the hospital. Finally around 2:15 am it went away enough that I could go to sleep! When I talked to the doctor about it she said it sounded like I was describing severe contractions. And that if it happened again to go straight to the maternity at the hospital. She said that if they had to a baby could survive at 24 weeks (I'm a week short) but its obviously better to keep Savannah in there for as long as possible. So if that was preterm labor lets hope it doesn't happen until at least end of April-May!

Yeah for Doulas! They are the best!! (and I'm not just saying that because I am one!)
Have you tried looking at Utah Doula Services? I believe it is utahdoulas.org or something? You can search for them, and find one in your area.
Believe me, they are worth every penny!
Take it easy!
That is scary beyond all scary. I have nightmares of pre-term labor a lot... take is really easy.
Lorell... thanks sooo much for the link! any advice on choosing one? They seem to all cost the same so price isn't really a big deal.
Ashley...
It was really scary. I think I could handle it if it was like after 30 weeks. ya know? But before then kinda freaks me out. As far as taking it easy... I'm trying but I don't think I'm to successful! :(
Tiffany, you look really cute! I'm sorry about all the cramping and contractions. I probably would have called my doctor in the first half hour! I hope it doesn't continue.
Mmmmmm... ice cream. Actually, I'm really into chocolate lately. And it has to be GOOD chocolate, like Dove, preferably dark. We talked about this the other night at Christy's. And now I want some.
Tiffany! This is worse than you described it on Sunday. I would be really worried. Good thing you have a really mellow boy.
Here's a link to a birthing center in Salt Lake. They could probably recommend a doula or even have one that works there. They may be able to go down to Provo. A doula is a great idea.

Good luck. Can I watch Brenton?
