So yesterday my mom came to get me because I needed to go to the doctor because of the bleeding I had over the weekend, and to check me for an UTI. Since I sit on a couch all day, I wear my favorite Nike shorts, and a t-shirt. I have been able to wear most of my shorts without a problem. I guess I kind of wear them low anyways, so I was able to get away with them for a long time. So, yesterday I went to get changed so I could go to the doctor, and to my surprise, the shorts did not fit. I have to admit I was kinda of excited. I mean with all that has gone on, this is good news, I am growing. The baby is growing great, but I have actually lost weight. I am 2 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight. I lost 8, but have gained back 5. The doctor isnt too worried about it, and says Bradyn is growing so it is a good thing. So, I made it 20 weeks without having to really wear maturnity shorts. I do have a baby belly though, and it seems to grow everyday! So, hopefully I will continue to grow and Bradyn will be born healthy in September!
One thing that drives insane is that I sit here, and so I am very intuned with my body. Since this is my first baby, I dont know if this cramp or that sharp pain is normal, and it scares me like crazy. I was told that the pain in my right side is from ligament stretching. Sometimes, I get sharp pains in my pelvic area. they go away, but man do they scare me. Some days they are more then others. I am assuming that my uterus is stretching, and so there would have to be some pain. I dont know, it freaks me out. Also, sometimes I feel like if I lift my leg or move a certain way, there is like a pressure pushing up on my uterus...again, I dont know if this is normal or not so I freak out....someone who has had a baby help me answer these pains...are they normal????Everytime I go to the bathroom I am freaked as well. I just cant wait for Brady to be here healthy, and then I will worry about his health as a baby...I know, I know...I worry about everything. But man, this pregnancy has litterally driven me insane. I always wanted kids, and so it kinda makes me sad to think that I really dont want another baby right away. I dont know if that makes me selfish, but I just dont think I could do this, and have a baby at the same time. I want to devote all my attention to my baby, and help him be the best person he can be. Right now, I feel like I cant even give my husband great attention...I couldnt imagine what it would be like with a baby here already.
On to a totally different subject...wow, not even baby related...why has it not rained here in two weeks???? Ok, I know usually we dont want rain, but man, I really want some rain. I like rain. I love the smell of it, and the sound of it. I know this might sound weird, but it almost makes me feel better. I really want it to rain...not like it did with the tropical storm, but just have a good rain day or two.

Hey Jen--I found your blog the other day, I'm actually not quite sure how, but I did and I don't even know if you really remember me, but we went to Lakeshore together and then I think you transfered to SAU and my hubby and I went there too. Anyways, I just wanted to let you know that I am blog stalking you and hope you don't mind :).
You and your baby will be in our prayers. I totally know what you're going through when it comes to being worried about every single thing during pregnancy, I was the same way. It's totally normal. And guess what??! It will be the same way when that beautiful baby is born. (At least it has been for me) But you'll get through it and look back on it and be like, why the heck was I so worried :). I hope you're doing well and I wanted to say hi! Feel free to stop by our family blog.
