Cardio Followup

Well, the dr. called back and was a little worried about what he saw on teh monitor.  He decided it would be best if I go on medication to keep my heartrate from getting too high.  Don't worry, I checked with my OB and it will not hurt Aiden.  I'm only taking 1/2 a pill twice a day and I get to go back and see him on my Bday...oh boy LOL.  My mom and dad are going to come up and go with me because Chess has to be out of town that week and I didn't want to go alone....not to mention I didn't wanna spend my bday up here all by my lonesome!!

Anyway, things are good for now.  I'll keep everyone posted!

Cardio Appt

Over the last month or so I've had a few "episodes" where my heart is pounding and beating really fast.  It's kindof hard to catch my breath.  It comes on for no reason and last about 1 to 1.5 hrs.  I called my OB last week after it happend and went it.  He did an ultrasound on Aiden and everything was fine with the baby :)  He also wanted me to followup with a cardiologist.  I saw him the next day at noon and he thinks I have what is called Mitral Valve Prolapse.  You can look it up on the internet for more info, but he thinks it is a mild enough case that hopefully no treatment will be needed.  He said I'm having these sympotoms because of the pregnancy and while they may be scary they are not harmful to me or the baby!  So that is good news.  He had me wear at 24 hr heart monitor and I happend to have an "episode" while wearing it so I'm waiting on a call back from him this week to see what that test looked like.  I also am going back on Dec 8th for a followup EKG to see how things look.  Hopefully it is like he said and the symptoms will subside after the baby is born and we won't have to worry about it in the long run!  Got about 10 more weeks until baby is born, I can deal with it until then.

This past weekend I took Charlie to a fall fest a local church and it was really nice.  I didn't get a ton of pictures because Chess was home watching the LSU game and I was trying to keep up with little man and take pics all myself!  There were several inflatable bouncers, a couple of slides, trunk or treat, food, and music.  We had a ball! 

my little Buzz Lightyear!

We will try to catch a couple more fall fasts this coming weekend...maybe dad will join us since LSU is off this weekend!

Sunday for church Charlie finally got to wear the outfit that Erik, Carley, and Addison gave him for his 1st birthday!!!  It is 18 mo, but it ran pretty big....look at this handsome little fella!!

Thanks Carley

Hope everyone is has a wonderful week....Charlie is having playdate today with his buddy Aubree because her mom had surgery this morning so I have my hands full!!!  They are having fun though.



 

26 weeks along and feeling it!!

Boy! Have I been tired lately...really dragging around.  It's pretty hard with Charlie, but we are making it!  I laid down for about an hour today and Charlie wasn't sleepy!  It was interested, resting with one eye open and both ears listening.  He mostly stayed right around me piling pillows on top of me and toys and such!  I just had to lay for a few minutes!!!  I better get over all this sleepiness before January, I don't think Aiden will let me nap daily :)

We took another trip to Baton Rouge last weekend.  We had a birthday party to go to and I also went to Amanda Causey's baby shower!! It was a fun weekend and we ended up staying until the next Thursday!  We met  Donna and the girls at the pumpkin patch in Albany. That was fun!

I got a much needed hairdue by my buddy Kristen and got to snuggle her adorably chubby little Lizzy!!  We made the rounds for Charlie to hang out with all his grandparents, saw Mike the Tiger, and of course ate some delicious Louisiana food!!

Chess was off work all weekend when we got back and we just hung around as a little family and enjoyed our time together.  He's been so busy at work, we were all excited to have a lazy weekend at home!!  He went right back to it though, he worked until 10 pm last night :(  Hopefully next month he can take a breather!

Not much else to report, just trying to take it easy and get pleny of rest in teh last 13 weeks before Aiden's arrival!!
