We had a bit of a scare last Sat while playing mini golf. I felt some liquid run down my leg and wen to the bathroom to find some leakage which didn't look to be urine so we ended out put-put game to go to the emergency birthing center and get checked out incase it was amniotic fluid leaking. I was so scared and was crying because I was in such a panic since it was way too early for birth. Viability or not, she would have such a struggle being born this early! Damen stayed calm and kept reassuring me everything was probably fine and tried to calm my nerves and prevent the tears from flowing. He later admitted he was so scared but didn't let me know it until we got the ok that everything was fine and sent home. Luckily, it was not amniotic fluid and was most likely she was pressing on my bladder causing the leak. It didn't look or smell like urine which was why we went to the hospital just to make sure. They ran some tests and looked internally to see if they saw any amniotic fluid leaking and if my cervix was closed... all looked ok. We were told that next time to put a pad on and is the pad gets soaked and I am leaking more and it didn't appear to be urine, to come in with the pad and get checked again. They agreed its always better to be safe than sorry.... though they kept asking if we were first time parents... cause confusion and panic is expected then I am sure!
Anyways, while we were waiting for the doc to see us, Damen had his hand on my belly trying to calm me down and jokingly was telling our little girl to stay in there and hang tight. He felt her kick for the first time while he was doing it! Finally he had the right timing to feel her! I have been feeling and seeing her kicks for 4 weeks now but it wasn't until the past week that they have become so regular and stronger. When I get Damen to put his hand on my belly, she stops and then he gets impatient and moves away before she starts again. When he felt her, he said he thought he felt something similar before but wasn't sure. now the kicks are more pronounced and he was sure he felt it. YEA!
So that was our crazy weekend. My next checkup will be on my birthday the end of this week. It is just gonna be a weigh in and measurement of my belly and glucose test for gestational diabetes.
We have picked out our crib and dresser and will be ordering that on the 4th of July (waiting for the sales!). I'll post pics and stuff soon.
