Week 22

Today I met with my OB/GYN about disability. She put me out until the end of the pregnancy (thank gosh because I'm a nervous wreck to do ANYTHING) and gave me prescriptions to see my specialist every two weeks. My biggest fear is delivering pre-term because of being too active and my amniotic sac just gives out. I also have to see my OB every two weeks so I have SOOOO much to look forward to! Sorry for my sarcasm. I don't mean to make fun out of a serious situation, but that just my way of hiding how worried I am. I'll do absolutely anything and everything without complaint to make sure this syndrome does not progress any more than it already has.

Basically, the specialist is checking to make sure there are no constrictions or creasing in the baby as he grows. If she sees either, then we have another problem on our hands which will involve fetal surgery. The risk involved with that is pre-term labor. I'm crossing my fingers and praying these next 18 weeks or so will be band-free! My OB/GYN is just keeping tabs on my overall health and connecting with the specialist to continue to monitor the pregnancy.

I've been very strong about the entire situation, but I can't help but blame myself, even though it's nothing I've done. You know when something horrible happens to someone or something in your life and no matter if it's a complete stretch and far from being even remotely possible, you still find a way to blame yourself? Story of my life. But anyways, I will keep posting after each appointment about any new information that comes about. For now, here's a baby bump for your pleasure (since baby bumps are so attractive)! 

By the way, I can see my boobs in my peripheral vision. I've never had DD boobs. This is crazy.

Thanks for reading =]
