22 Weeks

 

 

Not that much news this week except I had my doctor's appointment for a check up. Everything seems to be going well. The baby is growing healthy and the heart beat sounds good. That is always wonderful news. If you read my blog when we found out it was a girl, I mentioned I had a low placenta. Well turns outs that is called placenta previa which means the placenta partially or totally covers the cervix. That means I have to take it easy on exercising and just make sure I'm not bleeding or cramping. So far so good! I still do low impact and haven't had any problems. That also means I have to be on "vaginal rest" until my 28 week ultra sound... I will let you decide what that means... :p

They want to do a 28 week ultrasound to make sure the placenta moved up. The good thing is that the odds are in my favor. I was told 90% of the time, the placenta moves up. Please pray it does!! Other wise if it doesn't, it could be serious and I'd probably need a C-section instead of normal delivery.

I went to the gym and noticed why people looked at me more ... Well obviously the will LOL.

On another note, I feel Violet moving a lot more lately and Oliver felt her for the first time this past weekend. We were just laying in bed and I felt her moving so I took Oliver's hand so he could feel her. :) It's reassuring that she's ok in there when I feel her little movements.

Cravings? Smoothies. I think it's because I watched a raw food channel that made smoothies so I looked up a whole bunch of smoothie recipes on YouTube. I wish I had more of those first trimester since I didn't want to eat anything. That's actually a great alternative to getting veggies and fruits in your diet.

I swear, later on in life I think I might become a vegetarian. And I mean way later. But I have been interested in a plant based diet a lot more lately. But then I see a burger..
