14 WEEKS

Wow has it been a crazy couple of weeks! Sorry it has been so long and I apologize if anyone feels forgotten. My mom and sis got here over a week ago and I have been enjoying their company and trying to spend as much time with them as possible before they leave again! First of all let me say MY MOM ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!! She has been scrubbing and cleaning my house and cooking dinner, it has been nice and I know the hubby enjoys the break! Last Tuesday I went to see the specialist and he was great! He had me stop taking some of the meds I was on, and changed the dose on the other. He also sent a report back to OB for them to see me and schedule a cerclage for this week. I figured with Thanksgiving being this week it wouldn't get done. Also he said I didn't need to be on bedrest I very much enjoyed one week of it lol oh well. I had my appt on Monday to see the OB dr who was doing my cerclage. She let me know that I would be on modified bed rest til the baby comes. Which basically means I can't be on my feet for any period of time, I can fix myself a quick bite to eat or sit but no cooking, cleaning, or shopping! Then yesterday was all my pre op with anethesia, surgery, and admissions, that only took all morning. Today I had the cerclage done and can I say the weirdest thing I have ever been through! I had a spinal block because that was the safest for the baby, but that meant I was awake for the entire procedure! That felt so weird to be coherent in the OR but not feel anything but tugging! The worst part of it all was the local anethesic in my back so they could put in the spinal block! That spinal block was the weirdest sensation ever! I found it very humorous to try with all your might to move your legs and toes and not be able to move anything. I have had some spotting from the cerclage but nothing bad at all. The worst pain afterwards and right now is my back hurts pretty bad where the did the spinal block, and my hand hurts where they blew out a vain trying to put in an iv, it is really puffy and the whole top of my hand is blue! But other than that no pain down that region whatsoever. I liked the dr that did the procedure too! It was just a very interesting morning. I think I have been prepared for when the baby comes, I have been through labor and delivery once, and now I know what it feels like to have a spinal or epidural done so I feel prepared! Well I am getting tired so I am going if I forgot anything I'll post it later! Everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving!
