Last week was a little crazy for me! Cheerleading has hit its peak and I've been coaching almost daily. Last Thursday I was so excited to meet up with Sara B and Sara P and our husbands to watch the State vs. Carolina game at Taco Mac. I had a great time and enjoyed scarfing down all of the chips and queso and catching up with dear friends. Unfortunately our team lost but we had fun none the less!
On Friday we held our annual cheerleading lock-in at the school. Sometime during the lock-in, I left to meet Jay at the facility to get our gender ultrasound done. Let me start by saying that it was not the best experience. The place reminded me of a nail salon mixed with buying purses of the streets of New York. In short, it gave me the creeps. We waited around 10 minutes for couple in front of us to be finished and all we could hear was Disney music being played loudly down the hall. Jay kept bursting out laughing. The place smelled of too much floral. The ultrasound tech barely spoke English. The place was called My Sunshine Baby and I would not recommend!
We were able to find out the gender of one of our babies, the other was very camera shy and we could not get a look at the goods! The ultrasound place's policy is to recheck you if the baby hides. At the last minute the tech gave us her guess. I'm assuming she didn't want to check me again for free. I left there pretty unsure of what either child was!
I've called another place and scheduled an appointment for later this week. The lady I spoke to today at the Prenatal Picture seemed great and actually set me up two appointments in case we had a hidden baby again!
Having ordered the cakes on Saturday, I called the bakery back today to put them on hold until I know more. Luckily they were awesome and so understanding. Huge shout out to the Blushing Bakeshop in Ballantyne! I love their cupcakes and hope their cakes are just as fabulous! They've had the best customer service so far and are even designing the cakes around the invitations. They won't bake the cake until Friday afternoon so I've got some time to figure everything out! Please say a prayer that the babies put on a show for us this week (this is probably the only time in my life I will want my children to display their goods!)!
Moving On...
On Saturday I finished up getting decorations for the gender reveal party and spent way to much time in hobby lobby :) Good thing that place is all the way in Matthews!
Sunday brought out my (and Jay's) inner Martha. We teamed up to make the fluffiest tissue paper pom poms to adorn our ceiling, ironed several baby blankets and table clothes, moved furniture, cleaned and cleaned, and pretty much turn the upstairs of our house pink and blue. I'm so excited to reveal these genders (if only we knew!)
Over the course of the weekend I started having pains in my lower right side. I attributed them to round ligament pain but called the doctor on Saturday just to be sure. They agreed but wanted to see me today (Monday) just to be sure. The doctor pressed around on my belly and it hurt so bad. He checked the babies heart beats and my cervix and everything was fine. He sent me for an ultrasound (which both babies were not showing any goods) and they babes looked great as well as my ovaries. He has narrowed the pain down to two things, round ligament pain, or something is wrong with my appendix. Let's pray for the former. He told me several warning signs for appendicitis and sent me home with instructions to head to the hospital if I felt any other the things he mentioned. I've got a gut feeling that it is RLP and not appendicitis.
Anyway, thanks for listening to the catch up! Off to coach a game and then a practice! I promise more thought-filled blog posting to come. Thanks for hanging in there!
