As if 13 weeks of bed rest isnt bad enough.......

I have now experienced this horrible pain. I am not whining or complaining this is REALLY,REALLY bad. I am experience something called Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD).


What the heck is this?!

During pregnancy or birth, about one in 35 women will experience intense pelvic pain and may find it difficult to walk, climb stairs, and other movements that involve the pelvic bones. This pain is a result of separation of the symphysis pubis which is a joint in the very front part of the pelvic bone structure. There is cartilage that fills the gap in the bones. During pregnancy, hormones such as relaxin soften this cartilage allowing the pelvic bones to be more flexible for delivery. Some women, however, have too much play in the pelvis causing a large gap between the bones. This makes the symphysis pubis area extremely sensitive to touch. I have never experienced something like this. I can not get out of bed, walk to the bathroom, walk upstairs basically anything! It is the worst pain I have ever been in :-(.So I am going to the Doctor tomorrow morning to have him try and help me or figure something out. On another note my shower is this weekend! My cousin and Aimee and Scott get here tomorrow! If you didnt get the invite via email PLEASE call me! It is a BBQ co-ed shower and we cant wait!! We are getting our maternity pictures by the amazing Brandy Pellegrino of Pell Studios . They are not Boudoir pictures but she is amazing at that as well! I just hope I can walk into her studio! We are getting SUPER excited to see Tre! I just want him here already! Off to rest so I can get these pictures done! Crysta

32 weeks...almost!

This week marks 9 weeks on bed rest and a week since I was discharged from the hospital! 4th of July was tough, it is so hard to be on the couch while everyone is at the river, beach or pool. I know next year we will have an almost 1 year old and will be able to do these things. :-).We did have a couple of friends over and BBQ'd, just kept it low key. So it was nice to have company and be able to eat some good bbq!

I am so lucky to have Tony through all of this, poor guy really has been through a lot as well! He has been so good to me, not that he isn't, these past few months. 

This past week I have been having some cramping and back pain but held off calling my doctor because I had an appointment today. Everything went ok today and I am back on the couch! I have gained a total of 21 pounds! I am so happy because 9 weeks of bed rest and eating whatever I want, 21 pounds is great!
My doctor asked about a shower and hinted at wanting it at my house. I told him it will be local, in Escondido and he said ok. As long as I am driven there, put in a chair and I sit I am allowed to go! Hopefully we make it another 3 weeks! 

Shower invites have gone out via email, you should of received them.  If you didn't please let me know! 

I appreciate those who have stopped by or called and emailed! I am hoping I go another 8 weeks but this is going to really get hard and is already starting too! Visitors are much appreciated!!
