Well I have had a very busy couple of weeks! I am almost done with work (YAY!!) Friday will be my last day. I'm so excited to spend all of my time with Maddison, and have time for early morning walks with Sedona, and work on the nursery, and clean, and learn to cook....well...maybe not so excited about that last one! But anyway, my scatterbrain is getting to me so here is an update of my last 2 weeks.
The 16th was quite eventful! A typical HOT Wednesday at work, in my typically HOT storage room, doing the typically non-pregnancy friendly things I do, ended up not-so-typical spending 4.5 hours in the L&D unit. After spending about 45 minutes in the heat and lifting boxes and all of those super fun things, I started feeling contractions. A couple were very uncomfortable, but nothing resembling the horrific labor pains (sorry to scare first-time Mommy's out there!). I was having 4-5 an hour just sitting at my desk at work so around noon I called Dr. Rathee. They had me come in and did some poking and prodding and decided it would be best to just send me to the ER to get hooked to a monitor and make sure nothing was happening. Most of the 4.5 hours was waiting in the lobby, and by that time they had completely stopped. The nurses talked me into staying so I did. An hour and 15 minutes hooked up to the monitor and they didn't see anything alarming so they sent me home. Good news! AND a good excuse for an 11pm stop at the McDonald's drive-thru for a Big Mac!
The next day was even MORE fun! I hadn't been to the dentist in 6, yes SIX, years so I went in for a routine cleaning and exam. Nothing routine about that visit either! 5 cavities (3 under old cracked silver fillings), 2 fractured teeth, impacted wisdom teeth, root canal, crown, and gum disease. Uggghhh. I decided to let them go ahead and work on the worst tooth (the one needing the root canal and crown) and also did the most horrific gum treatment ever. They numbed my entire face, pulled back my gums from each tooth and power blasted water at them. They also chiseled away 6 years worth of tarter build-up (yuck, not sure why I am sharing all of this...). I left in absolute agony. Thankfully, this was during Maddison's week long vacation (sad face) with her father, so at least I got to go home and sleep, but I was in agony until my root canal the following Monday. That part actually turned out very well. The only bad part was there wasnt much tooth left to clamp to, so they had to clamp to my gums and I ended up with stitches back there, but I felt asbolutely amazing once the novacaine all wore off. Amazing that is for 24 hours...until the infection set it. Yikes! So I am currently on a round of antibiotics and the sore is clearing up good now so hopefully that should all be gone by the time I get my crown on July 7th. Yippee. Can't wait for that either. I still have a LOT of mouth work to be done, but the rest of it is pretty pricey so some of it might not get done until after Miss Cylie arrives. Definitely not the wisdom teeth until then. I very much would like to be able to have percocet for that!
As far as the week being away from Maddison...it was tough! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I always prepare for the worst and hope for the best (pessimistic? Maybe!), so I was really expecting to be in a deep depression the whole time. Especially when I called Tuesday and realized they were out of cell phone signal! Ugghh, so I spent my days watching lots of re-runs and put in a few extra hours at work. I was SO excited that she wanted to come home early on Friday, and surprised her dad let her. So she came home Friday and boy was she the snuggliest kid on the planet! She stayed with me until the following day until about 3:30pm when they had a BBQ but came home Father's Day (Sunday). Ohhhh soooo good to have her back! Not letting her go for that long for a WHILE!
Well next baby appt is tommorow where I will be 24 weeks!!! She is definitely getting very strong! My entire belly moves every time she kicks or rolls, and every once in a while she does something that really hurts! So I will definitely update tomorrow on how that goes. The anatomy scan was June 10th when my mom was in town for Maddison's recital (WOW am I behind on this!) and she was 13oz at 21 weeks 2 days. I doubt Ill get another ultrasound but a girl can hope, right?!
