* updating my lady friends!! (((: *

okay, so all of you were right.. I worry wayyy too much & our baby is perfectly fine! lol

we went to our OB appointment this morning - 13w6d & "Baby A" seemed to be resting peacefully (he/she is not going to be a morning person.. just like mommy & daddy lol), heartbeat was great, and he/she has grown soooo much in 4 weeks!!! spine looked great also.. my OB has a somewhat older ultrasound machine so there was NO guessing of the gender, but we should get a pretty detailed look of things when I see the specialist about my cervix on May 6th! (((:
oh, and she didn't say anything about the Subchorionic Hemorrhage.. so I'm hoping it's gone?

her ONLY concern is my colon disease (Ulcerative Colitis) keeping me from gaining weight. I NEVER went
over 105-110 lbs. until recently (I did good to get where I'm at), but when I got really sick from my disease I got down to about 95 lbs. finally got up to 125'ish at one point. well, 4 weeks ago & today I'm holding steady at 122lbs. she says as long as I'm not losing weight we're okay, but she also said I'm at that point where the baby is going to be taking all of my nutrients & I need more.. SOOO she suggested Carnation Breakfast Essentials - I used to drink these after I lost so much weight from my disease..

I guess I'm just aggravated b/c MY disease could be hindering my unborn.. "/ definitely going to make it a habit to drink a couple of these a day though & continue with my prenatal vitamins, and everything should be fine!!

I can NOT thank all of you ladies for your support, prayers, talking sense into me when I needed it, and for telling me to chill out when I needed to chill outttt!! lol sometimes I know what I need to do, say, etc. BUT it totally helps to hear it from other mommies.. good, kind-hearted, caring mommies who are as amazing as some of you!!

I love you all so much, thanks for reading, and please continue to keep us in your prayers!!!
prayer works!!! ((((((:

yes!!! I was just able to take a short nap.. it did help a good bit.

I don't like taking anything being stuff like Tylenol (and anything else I used to take before I got pregnant.. like Goody's, Aleve, etc.) can't affect my colon disease..

I'm terrified to take a Tylenol & have a flare up b/c they could cause even more damage.. dehydration being the main thing.. so I try to tough it out too!! ((:

Aw, I used to get them a lot in the beginning. :/ I hope you get to feeling better soon. I always hated getting them cause I never wanted to take anything for them. I was to scared lol. A cold dark room helps though. :p
