Doctor Appointment Update

19 Weeks 4 Days Pregnant

I just got back from my doctor's appointment.

It's official...bed rest for me.

Nothing serious. Just a precaution.

I don't know how many details to share. Basically, all the babies look great and they're right on track. When they checked my cervix and measured it - 4 different times I might add. It ranged from 2.9 down to 2.5. The doctor is going off the smallest measurement. Because of it's length and I have been experiencing some contractions he's going to try a few different things to nip it in the butt before it gets too far along to stop. So for now I'm on limited bed rest which basically means I can shower and get up to use the restroom and make myself something to eat, but other than that he wants me off my feet. He also gave me a RX for Nifedipine. I took this same thing when I went into preterm labor with B. I just take it when I experience contractions. He wants me to try this for a week and go in next Thursday to have my cervix checked again to see if it's changed at all. If it didn't seem to help then we'll do one of two options. Continue home bed rest but instead of taking Nifedipine I'll have to take progesterone once a week...this is a shot in the tooshy. yea. Or it sounds like if my cervix measures 1 then he'll want to put me in the hospital. Basically, let's hope the bedrest and Nifedipine work.

Guess we'll see in a week.

These Pregnancy Cravings Are Gonna Be The Death Of Me

16 Weeks 6 Days Pregnant

This time it's a McDonald's Egg McMuffin. Got myself and B ready as fast as I could this morning and rushed over there. I got there at 10:40. They wouldn't give me one. They stopped serving at 10:30. I was ten minutes late and they can't give me one flippin sandwich?! I'm pregnant with triplets, c'mon!

I haven't found any breaks so far because of this and I just wanted to use that card soooo badly this time.

My Husband's first ever job was at Mickey D's and he said one minute after they stop serving breakfast they count up the inventory not used and throw it away...they get tax breaks this way. SELFISH JERKS is what I call it!

I wanted so badly to rummage through their garbage....ok....maybe I wouldn't go that far. But seriously, these cravings are killing me lately.

Up to this point the cravings haven't been so bad. Now however I am experiencing Nausia (it's getting to point where it feels like morning sickness and I've almost taken a zofran on one or two occations) until I can eat whatever it is I may be craving. Last night it was peach-o's....no problem, they don't stop serving them at a specific time of the day.

My Husband and my mom asked, why don't we just make our own egg mcmuffin? WHAT?! HOW DARE YOU try and replicate the best fast food breakfast sandwich out there and of course you'll fail which will make it impossible for me to eat anymore for the rest of my life.

SIGH. Oh the hormones of a pregnant woman....If you'll excuse me I think I'll go cry for my long lost egg mc muffin now.
