We made it! The third trimester is a wonderful place to be! Christy heard back from the OB and she definitely has gallstones.. In fact he said her gallbladder is FULL of them.. So for now, since she is maintaining with diet, she is OK, she just has to be on the look out since she is prone to an infection he said. Gave her instructions to head to ER if any fever or persistent pain. We are praying it's just smooth sailing from here on out, until she can deliver though. This past week was a busy one! My sister was in town with my 12 year old niece. We had a really great time visiting! The weather wasn't very nice (Thanks TS Isaac!.. NOT!) but we still managed to get in some shopping and girl time! They left this morning and I sure am gonna miss them!
Now it's time to get ready for the baby shower and SMO get together! Rebekah will be here in less than a week, OMG!! I am so excited to see her again! Beka has not divulged any of the details of the shower to me, I gave her full creative license, so it's a surprise to me! All this week boxes have been coming in with goodies for Greyson, it's been surreal to open a box and see all the cute little baby things, knowing it's for our new addition! I think this kid is gonna need a separate room just for his new things, lol!!
This next week will be spent touch up cleaning my house for the shower and doing some rearranging, gonna be another busy week! I wanted to thank all of you who commented on the gallstones post and for your ideas on things Christy could do to ease her pain, we really appreciated it! On the Greyson front, Christy said it's getting hard to bend over or pick things up that are low down.. I think the most uncomfortable part is starting right now.. Hopefully she doesn't suffer too badly! Well that's about all I have for now. Will update with lots of pictures from the shower next week! Til next time!
Yeah for 28 weeks! Third trimester! I'm trailing you at 27.5 weeks! Yeah!

I've been following along I promise...just haven't had time to comment. Thinking good thoughts about the gallstones and man oh man, I remember those boxes arriving and thinking "how can we have SO MUCH STUFF!"...we have such wonderful friends. Good luck with the next 12 weeks I"m sure it will all go swimmingly well. Take care.
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks love! I am overwhelmed by the amount of stuff and we haven't had the shower yet, ACK! Hubs has already asked where we are going to put all this stuff, LOL!
Deletecan't believe it's already the 3rd trimester! enjoy the shower and i hope the gallstones don't give her any more grief!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! Third trimester!! I'm so excited for you! And I'm glad she doesn't have to have surgery for the gallstones. I definitely hope they don't continue to bother her. I can't even imagine the pain and frustration of being pregnant and having to deal with that at the same time! Anyways....big hugs and Happy Labor Day weekend!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm excited to be entering 27 weeks tomorrow!! Woot woot!
P.S.S. Still nothing on the lactation front. :-(

I hope the gallstones ease up a bit. I've never had them, but I imagine they are not fun. :(
