25 Week Update

Since the scar a few weeks back I have been reluctant to post about what is happening. After having a good visit with Dr. Schad April 3rd, I feel very confident that everything is going to be fine!

I am still having ALOT of pain but during our appointment Dr. Schad did an abdominal exam to check position of the baby (still breech, but of no concern and sitting very low!) he pushed where the round ligaments are and that hurt, very normal though! I feel the round ligament pain alot. Basically feels like my stomach will rip off if I dont get it supported. wearing tight tank tops under shirts seems to help this pain sometimes. He also said he was going to put alot of pressure on my c-section scar, I said okay of course...but when he did this...I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO SHOOT THROUGH THE ROOF! This was a HORRIFIC pain! I cant explain this pain to anyone, it's something I have never felt with any pain! But, this is a good thing because we now know what is causing me so much discomfort. The downside to this is that there really is not much Dr. Schad can do to help me! He did however suggest getting massages every other week, so I am doing that! DARN! (haha!)

I have also decided to look into yoga classes...maybe the stretching will help me release some of the scar tissue pressure!

Baby is still measuring big. Not surprising! In his sweetest most loving voice and his biggest grin Nick says... "honey, you just throw a big calf!" Apparently he is right. I cant fault him for that! :) Heartrate is all over the place. This week it was in the 130's. So it has been in the 130's, 140's, 150's and 160's.

It is getting more fun for Nick now too as he has been able to feel the baby move, but now he can see the barrel rolls and gets a kick out of that!

All in all, we are just plugging along with life as normal. If I am in pain I take it easy for a bit and then continue on as normal!

Love All Around

This past weekend was a busy weekend but a weekend full of family, friends and love!

Saturday, April 7th my niece Hannah was married to Luke! It was a beautiful day! A little windy but the sun shone through at times and as I told Hannah, now she doesnt have to worry about anyone squinting in her pictures! She was a beautiful bride and it was a beautiful day! Nick, Adi and myself had the privilege of being apart of their special day and we are so happy to have shared this special time with them!





Sunday April 8th was Easter so after a long day on Saturday we decided it would be best to head to the late service at church. So Adi woke up smiling as always so we set out to find her Easter basket! Boy was she one excited child! It was absolutely precious! The Easter bunny was of course very good to her. She got some coloring books, bath paints, books, and some toys for outside! Church went very well. She was a little vocal at times, but no more than the other 20 children making noise! Our pastor is wonderful and made note of all the wonderful noises coming from the children! After church, we headed to brunch, then home for nap time and after nap it was off to grandma and grandpa Thompson's for dinner. It was a WONDERFUL weekend!
