Scary at 26.5 Weeks

I was totally pumped about blogging when I set up this blog, but then I got busy at work, thus tired at home at nights and on the weekends. Sorry I don't have any pictures to post right now, but I do have a story for ya!

This may be TMI for some of you out there, but it is just part of pregnancy, which is a very humbling experience. So, last week I felt like I may be leaking some amniotic fluid. I immediately made an appointment to see the Dr. I had all of the fun tests and at the office they told me I looked good and that there was no sign of leakage. Well, later on that same afternoon they called me back and said the lab portion of my test came back inconclusive and that I needed to come back for more testing. I went from completely relieved to completely worried. I mean leaking amniotic fluid can't be a good thing, so the first thing that came to my mind was pre-term labor and/or bedrest. YIKES!!

The next day I went back to the Dr., had the tests run and all tests came back normal. Turns out I was not leaking amniotic fluid, but that I have already lost control of my bladder. Now that I think about it, losing control of my bladder is kinda funny, but it sure wasn't at the time. Whew...am I glad that is over.

I am planning to post some easter pics and more belly pics this weekend. I don't think I have grown much. I have only gained like 1 lb since my 24 week appt and I just don't feel bigger. I am up 11 lbs total at this point. I guess I will just be one of those that blows up towards the end.
