30 Weeks - Yikes

Well my 3rd and final trimester has brought on some new and exciting pregnancy downfalls. Starting around 24 weeks, baby logann moved on and off my sciatic nerves. This didn't start with Cody until around 33 weeks, there have been days I could barely walk. Luckily heartburn has been down to a minimum but this time around but I am having contractions and have been put on limited bedrest.

Starting on New Years Eve day I starting getting pretty painful contractions, only a few an hour but still there. They continued throughout New Years Day. Everytime I tried to do any kind of walking or cleaning one popped up. I tried to take it easy through the rest of the week, but all the next weekend, I was havng them, but of course i was cleaning and shopping and chasing Cody around. First thing Monday morning I called my Dr. and she she sent me to the Hospital for monitoring. Luckliy, the contractions haven't shortened my cervix, but I was instructed to take it easy or else full bedrest. Unfortunetly this means no gym no exercise... I'm not happy about this but it is what it is.  Of course i am trying my hardest but it is very hard with Cody and all I need to do.

That next weekend, Sunday to be exact I slipped on some water in the kitchen and fell forward on my belly. I must say I have never been so scared in my life. Immediatly i went to the bathroom to check for bleeding, which there was none, but called my Dr anyway. off to the Hospital again. This time they kept me overnight attached to all kinds of monitors. Again, thankfully the baby is fine. The placenta is still in tact and other than some aches and pains everything was fine, no fun, but fine.

Needless to say this pregnancy is much much much different than with Cody, not sure why... Age, natural (LOL) The next 7+ weeks can't go by fast enough for me, and i know it's only going to get worse :(

Christmas 2012

Wow It's January already and Christmas came and went. We had such a good time this year. Cody knew the full meaning and really got into it. Joey the Elf appeared on Thanksgiving and stayed until Christams eve just like last year. Cody would love to find him every morning and if for some reason Joey didn't move (bad Mommy and Daddy, we just said Joey was tired and moved him after Cody went to school.

We were lucky enough this yeat to have Travis, Kim and kids here for Xmas. Just love that we all were able to spend the Holiday with the whole family, makes it that much special.  Cody just loves spending time with his cousins. We visitied Santa 2x, went to Yesteryear Village, and the Xmas spectacular @ Hoffman's chocolates... So excited to see what next year brings with Cody and baby Logann...

WEEK 26: (pictures to follow) As for me... 2nd pregnancy for me is definitely much harder than first. Not sure if it's age or just a different pregnancy. Baby Logann has been sitting on both my front and back sciatic nerves since about week 20. This make it very hard for me to go for walks, exercise, or even sit at my desk. I think this also effects my pelvic area. Sitting at my desk too long is just no fun. I think it's because my belly is heavier and lower this time around. Doesn't actually hurt while I'm sitting, but when i get up... Oh boy, shooting pains all around my lower belly and pelvic area. I did get a belly band that I use while I sit and it helps a bit. Luckily I get to go to the Chiro once a week and get a 30 minute message. this helps wonders, but by the next week, we are back to square one...... On a good note, I am still sleeping quite well and no swelling has started. Yippee
