Today is the 20th week of my pregnancy. Nothing has changed since I updated last week about the gender reveal. I have only gained 2 pounds since the start of my pregnancy so I feel like I'm WAY smaller than I was with Ellie, but who is complaining.
The doctor (who I actually got to see today) explained more about the placenta being too close to the cervix and yadda yadda. I was put on 'pelvic rest' so I can get any checkups (in the lady department) and there can be no uhhh...extracurricular activity. That is to remain for the rest of my pregnancy OR until I get the next ultrasound around 26 weeks and they tell me everything is fine. If the placenta hasn't moved by 26 weeks then they are going to schedule a c-section around week 36 or 37 to avoid any chance of me going into labor. If I did go into labor I would start hemorrhaging and put myself and the baby in danger-no one wants that. I also have to call immediately if I have any bleeding, that means even if I have slight spotting I need to call. Craziness. HOWEVER...after all that is said the doctor told me it is highly likely that the placenta will move and it is only a slight chance of it not moving, so we are still praying that it moves.
Eleanore has some sort of pimple like rash on her face and she was running a fever the past few days. Unfortunately, that affected her eating habits again so I'm fearing she isn't gaining as much weight as she needs to. As of yesterday she started eating like a normal person again, there is no fever, but she still has that unsightly rash...poor baby. The nurse said it could be a reaction to her vaccinations. I say if it doesn't clear up by the weekend I'm taking her in to see someone.
Other than that she has started throwing these tantrums when she doesn't get what she wants. Can I tell you how hilarious I find them? Instead of getting angry or frustrated with her I just laugh because truly what else can you do with a 1 year old? I think laughing at her also throws her off because sometimes we can get her out of those fits in 10 seconds and she starts laughing too. I'm sure it will eventually get on our nerves once she starts talking and doing it in the middle of the grocery store but for now...HILARIOUS!
I finally have cravings, I didn't have them with Ellie bean but I do now. Current craving: chicken Caesar salad.
