Today has been quite a day for me and I don't mean anything good by that statement. They say that women who are 9 months pregnant will have BAD days, GOOD days, and days in between. Today, was considered a BAD day! This morning, my day started out normal like it always does and I felt fine for the most part. It turned into a bad day when I walked out of the house, locked the door and got to my car and realized my key chain was sitting on my dresser in my bedroom. UGH! I called Brandon and ofcourse he was already at work and he had to leave, I was crying and basicly a huge mess. My intentions today were to go to work and once I got off, go get spare keys made. BUT ofcourse, my plans never pan out properly. As I was driving to work, I had a pain that I have never felt before come over me and it consumed my whole abdomen area. I was driving so it was all I could do to focus on the road to get to where I could pull over. Finally after 30 seconds or more, the pain eased off and the baby moved. Im not quite sure if I lost my mind at that time or if she shifted and landed on a nerve, but my fingers on my left hand went completely numb. One at a time, I lost the feeling in each finger. It was so weird. I immediately called my mom because I knew she has pinched nerves and her fingers go numb some too and she told me to walk and see if the feeling would come back. I parked my car and walked into work and went straight to the nurses station. I explained to the nurse what happened and she said that she could has sat on or kicked a nerves and that would cause that to happen. Once I finally got my feeling back in my hand and fingers, my lip started tingling on the left side. I freaked out! I just knew at that time something was wrong. Well it immediately went away and didn't come back. I sat down there a little while longer resting and making sure nothing else strange would happen and finally walked upstairs to my desk. I may have answered 2 or 3 calls andstarted feeling even worse. My nerves were working on me as well so that surely didn't help the situation but when I got my things together and made the decision to go home, my left eye got blurry at that time and I felt so weak. Okay what in the world is going on with my left side? Many thoughts were racing through my head and I went right back to the nurse. She told me to keep my eyes shut and just take deep breaths. I did so and got my blood pressure checked. It was a little high probably due to me freaking out though. FInally, I decided to call the doctor and go home and lay down. A nurse eventually called me back and said I needed to come on in. I got there around 1:30 and Dr. Taft saw me this time. He knew at this point, I had absolutely HAD it with being pregnant. We ran some tests and I took a non-stress test and the baby looked great and ofcourse, NO contractions when I needed some to show up. Haha :)~ But Im glad everything looked good. All I've prayed for this whole time was a safe and healthy delivery with a healthy baby to hold at the end. We go back Monday for an ultrasound and another non-stress test and then talk to the Dr about an induction time for Wednesday morning.
After the Dr appt, my mom and I went to Ross and she got a couple of things and then went to Michael's so she could buy paint. Michael's is right beside Five Guys so we decided to eat there. It was good food, but not as good as what I've heard people say. Paying 4$ for a cheeseburger is RIDICULOUS when it didn't taste any better than a Wendy's burger in my opinion. I love spending time like that with my mom. She's an amazing woman and she's been here for me through everything. I love her with all of my heart :)
