Someone finally guessed I was pregnant!
So I didnt think I was really showing yet, but I guess little old ladies have a knack for seeing things others are too busy to notice.
She looked at my stomach then at me and said "Are you having a baby?" I laughed and said, "Im not THAT far along yet!" and she laughed too. She told me thats ok. She told me about how she was 9 wks late when her baby kicked her husband's hand. He jumped and she said she was going to the doctor in the morning. How cute!

October. oh the highs and lows.
Oct 19th- we got to see our little squirt. He was perfect with a strong heart beat, measuring just a few days behind my due date.
Oct 20th- we were driving home from St. G. About 1/2 way home (aka 25 minutes from a hospital in either direction), I woke and was trying to tell Jeff that he was awesome because he has been. I was slurring my words and I couldnt say what I wanted to. It was the weirdest feeling. My mouth felt like it was running out of batteries.
I panicked. Absolutely panicked. So Jeff was trying to calm me down, but my arm went numb. I seriously thought I had just lost the use of my right arm.
Long, long story short. They found a small hole in my heart (PFO). Im going to a neurologist to confirn TIA (ministroke) and maybe see if Im still at risk.
So fixing it- we probably dont need to. I havent talked to a cardiologist yet (but I will soon!) but from what Ive read most pfo's are treated with blood thinners. Im on baby aspirin for now, but very soon I will probably be a Heparin or Lovenox shot. (Im sooo making Jeff do it! :) )
Oct 27th- I switched doctors because I am not having this baby in the Cedar City hospital. I love my new OB and they instantly got me in with a High Risk OB doctor. And the most important part! I got to the see the baby again. Im far enough along to use the normal ultrasound! He was moving! I couldnt believe he was moving! Having a ball in there.

My Dear Baby
Today, and since the day I found out about you, I have loved you. I am done fearing you might not be here tomorrow. Today, you are here, and so am I, and I get to grow you a little more everyday. Today, I love you, and if you were to leave, I would never love you any less.
Growing you has been hard on my body and heart, my little one. Maybe I should tell my doctor that my heart has been growing out of love since I found out about you. In some moments of weakness, Im not sure how we're going to pull through these next 7 months. I wish I could give you a strong house to grow in. I dont feel like my body is a safe place for you, and I wish I could just have you now.
You still dont feel real, which makes all this even harder. I cant wait to feel you kick. I have already seen your heart. It was beautiful. (It better be stronger than mine!) I cant wait to see your sweet little face. Be safe in there, little one.
You are half an inch, little baby. Yet you are more important to me than anything else. Im honored to tote you around where ever I go.
Stay where you're at til you're ready to meet us. Grow strong. Grow a good heart. And have a ball this week since its the first time you'll move on your own. I love you with all my heart, my little angel.
