Sometimes you just have to treat yourself.
The past few weeks have been awful.
My toddler’s speech therapist quit (job change) with basically no notice for us to find another one. I’ve been scrambling to prevent him from having too many weeks without therapy. Last week, he was evaluated by the feeding team at a local university and needs feeding therapy.
My husband has been having severe pains and was in the ER, then admitted to the hospital this week and had surgery a few towns over yesterday.
On Thursday last week I started bleeding– it stopped by Sunday. Wednesday I had another bright red gush of blood with clots. Went back to the dr and they thought they saw some cervical funneling, mentioned progesterone and a possible cerclage, but then told me they thought it was okay. It didn’t set well with me, so I asked for a second opinion from my MFM. The deadline to get a cerclage is considered 20 weeks and I’m almost there (18+4 today). I had a scan by a specialist this morning and they reassured me that everything is fine and they aren’t worried. I’m so relieved. I have had 3 t/v ultrasounds since last Friday and an anatomy scan. Everything down there is sore
I’ve had no time to myself in the past few weeks and I’m just plain overwhelmed by life lately. So my husband came home early from work today because he’s still hurting, and is managing naptime while I take some time to breathe. It’s quiet. Someone is refilling my drink. I’m eating delicious sushi (my bizarre craving this pregnancy– never ever liked sushi before now). And I can hear myself think for the first time in a while.
