First Post

Kyle keeps asking me when I'm going to get a blog and I figured that I am soon going to be a mom so I have to have a blog right? Well here it is blog world! This first post will be dedicated to my pregnancy since I'm sure thats what the majority of my future post will be about, the baby!

I am currently 34 weeks pregnant with a little girl due July 17th. Pregnancy is an interesting world. I dont remember not being pregnant at this point. I had bad morning sickness at the beginning, a smooth middle and the end is pretty interesting. At 27 weeks I developed a pregnancy rash called PUPPPs (Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy) Its a rash that covers you from head to toe and the only cure is delivery. It is very rare and even with the small odds its even more rare to get it carrying a girl. And it usually doesnt show up until around 35 weeks. Im just a medical marvel I guess. Well because of this rash my midwife has set me up to do fetal monitoring once a week. My last appt was on Tuesday. It was an interesting one. To start out my amniotic fluid was lower then before. And during the monitoring I had a small contraction, at that same time the monitor slipped and it lost Lucys heartbeat. So I then I had to stay until I had another contraction so they could see how her heart reacted. Total I was there for over an hour and I have to go back tomorrow to check my fluid level again and what not. So thats the pregnancy up to this point! I can not wait to meet my little girl!
