21 weeks

I am finally 21 weeks!!!! Which means over half way done. We found out on Monday, which was also Jason's birthday, that we are having baby girl #2 and could not be happier. Now that I am finally feeling better I hope to be blogging more. The truth is when its between taking a nap with Olivia or blogging the nap usually wins. Here is a brief recap of the past few months. I was sick sick from 8-16 weeks. At 13 weeks I started bleeding and Jason and I got to spend our Saturday in the ER. The baby was fine and no one could explain the bleeding. At 16 weeks Jason was out of town and I was with my family at my parents when the nerve that goes over my pelvic bone decide it hated me and I got to spend another day in the ER, with my mom this time. My dad and my brother Scott were able to diagnose my problem so I could get the right help in the ER which was a life saver. Basically I have a bit of nerve damage from my darling Olivia being so comfortable at the end of her pregnancy and camping out right on the nerve. I've been through labor and this was way worse! We now know how to manage the pain if it comes back but for now I will count my blessings that I've been pain free for over a month. The worry is that as the baby gets bigger it will come back, but I would much rather have me with the problem and have a healthy little one. Now its just a long wait until the end of December.
