I've been there! Much better safe than sorry, like you said. I'm glad they got you in for an ultrasound and everything was great. <br /><br />Also...gummy peaches, mmmm. I never ever crave gummy things, but have been wanting tons of that shit lately.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16239548717452353436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-23303407695885506442011-06-08T20:39:48.438-07:002011-06-08T20:39:48.438-07:00Oh well, got it out of the way :) I'm sorry f...Oh well, got it out of the way :) I'm sorry for any worry that you must suffer, it's just not in the cards for this to be a carefree experience for the likes of us gals, I'm afraid. And maybe it's not a bad thing, probably makes you more assertive with a concern, and that could be a good thing versus someone who's so uninitiated into all this medical crap.

(FYI: I went in for re-assurement ultrasounds two times by 10 weeks, and I was already getting wanded weekly!) <br /><br />You are doing so incredibly awesome! And are SO CLOSE to the magic 24 week number. And then 26 and 28 and 30 and 32 and 34 and then it's all icing. Day by day, week by week, you are doing this. xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-8682930313831038022011-06-08T07:42:39.666-07:002011-06-08T07:42:39.666-07:00It's so reassuring that our docs take our fear...It's so reassuring that our docs take our fears seriously. I'm glad you and Smudgie got a quick check to make sure everything is OK. The 20-24 week period was a rough one for me, mostly due to my fibriods, but also because of all the general growing/stretching going on.<br /><br />I'm happy to hear you and Smudgie are hanging in there:)Fairytale Endinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01344402025390948280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-14072956246228891082011-06-08T05:49:41.681-07:002011-06-08T05:49:41.681-07:00So glad to hear it's all going well and that n...So glad to hear it's all going well and that news was reassuring. My first thought when I read your opening sentences was "more fluids!" Not saying that had anything to do with your cramping--but I recall that warm weather hit around the same point in my second pregnancy as you are now, and it took me a few weeks to figure out how much more I needed to drink during the day to keep the occasional contractions at bay.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02927503132840768706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-47026631314883359112011-06-07T14:17:51.213-07:002011-06-07T14:17:51.213-07:00I'm so glad you went in for peace of mind and ...I'm so glad you went in for peace of mind and that all is well with Smudgie. <br /><br />In far less important news, I am somehow getting roped in to the Bachelorette this season.

I made it home and laid down, and they went away, but yes - it was scary for a little while there. <br /><br />Stay put and grow, Smudgie! Sour gummy bears are a great solution. :)Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02571149055152186880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-63092315312232018762011-06-07T10:11:50.849-07:002011-06-07T10:11:50.849-07:00LaWanda!

For me, it was kind-of bad luck that Halloween hit right around the end of my 2T. Meaning I ate my weight in skittles and starbursts (Literally, Eric came home to find me lying on the bed, surrounded by hundreds of little candy wrappers, saying I didn't feel so good...) Ah, pregnancy!! I DON'T miss it. Especially not the freak outs. Ugh!!! Those are so awful and harrowing. I'm so relieved that Smudgie is OK.Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015353387009923240noreply@blogger.com
