But everything's ok...for now....
Had some spotting yesterday and it really freaked me out! Since I haven't been able to shake this cold for over a week, I was also concerned about the lack of movement / change in kinds of movement I was feeling from the baby. I called the OB's office and told them I wasn't sure if it was the cold bringing it on or not. I had some pain along with it, so they had me go in and be monitored for about an hour. Of course, Tyler had to go with me and was being a typical toddler!! Can't get that boy to sit still!! There were no doctors in since they were all at training so they said they would have the dr review the printouts and get back to me after noon.
While I was there on the monitor the alarms started going off...I saw the readout said that the heart rate was 190! I freaked out!! When the nurse came in, she said it was my heart rate, not the baby's...Still concerning, but at least it wasn't the baby's...
About 1:45 I get a call back saying that the dr. wants me to come in and be monitored again. I get there and they can't seem to find the baby's heartbeat...I freaked again, which made my heart rate skyrocket! After about 10 minutes they finally found his heartbeat and hooked me up for another hour...Everything appears fine with both me and the baby, but I still have to have a phone appt with my OB later today and then another appt on Tuesday....I sure hope this cold subsides so that I can breathe and maybe start getting better movement out of this baby!!
DH and DD got a nice little lecture yesterday about how they need to help out more..I told the nurse that DH allowed me to slack off all day Sunday. She was pretty happy about that, but told him that he needs to let me slack off at least 2 hours every single day!! I feel so bad that so much pressure is being put on him!
Update: Well, the spotting is back. All I did was get all 3 kids ready for school, some vacuuming and lay Tyler down for his nap...I wish I could just sit and relax and enjoy this pregnancy!!

Tracy! You really need to take it easier! DH can help out more than usual-- it's helping his baby be safe! You need to LET PEOPLE HELP YOU!! Having DH assistance doesn't make you less of a mom or wife! :)
I agree...take it easy! That alone will help that cold get outta here fast. When I was sick, I was sick about a month. So with your immune system down, it's going to take a little nudging to get that cold to go away. :) Take care.
