Who knew...

that when a baby grows inside your uterus it may shift over to the right and press on things like the ureter and kidney, thus sending the expecting mommy to the ER with right abdominal pain. Twice!

That is how I spent the first few days of my new year. Hanging out in the ER. Luckily, I brought my Ipod and I kept myself busy playing Yahtzee, Solitaire, and Scrabble.

Baby C is fine. The heartbeat stayed consistently in the 160's the whole time. (If you know your wives tales, you know that means girl!!! We'll find out the sex for sure on February 1st.) I'm doing okay, too. The pain sort of ebbs and flows and when it is at its worst I just try to get in a more comfortable position and breathe it out:) However, this is difficult when you are doing things like grocery shopping or taking the dog for a walk. We hope that as I get bigger the pressure will be taken off and I will be pain free.

I hope to post a picture later this week! We're almost halfway through the pregnancy!
