22 weeks and Lung Doc Appointment



Yes! I know it's in the bathroom at work again, but I didn't want to forget tonight. I am 22 weeks today! Only 18 left!! I can't believe it. On Saturday it's 4 months left! WOW! Little Robert is working his muscles to be a great Butterfly swimmer like his Uncle Dougie and his mommy used to be. Holy cow! Sometimes he just goes crazy on my left side. Luckily it just is soft right now. I can only imagine what it's going to turn into :)

Yesterday I went and say the Lung Specialist. After a few tests---lung capacity and oxygen levels sitting and walking around and a few other things I met the doctor. Everything was within "Normal" range but I'm on some pretty high doses of inhalers and such so He's keeping at the high levels and I'm to continue using my breathing machine as needed (I got a pretty new one yesterday ($250 later---thank you insurance!) and I have to see him monthly until Little Robert graces us with his presence. There is a high chance I'll have to be on steriods (not muscle steriods people) the last 6-8 of my pregnancy the way things are going. I also got a really good blessing on Saturday night. I am a very anxious person and I am NOT medicated right now and so I was getting really anxious about my breathing having a bad effect on our little one, but I was reassured that he would have no negative effects from this little episode! THANK HEAVENS! I didn't care about getting better or anything else, I was just worried about him and everything will be ok! I told Bryce that the doctor said to continue with the breathing machine for once a week and then just as needed but Bryce says last night, I think then after a week you should go every other day to make sure you're doing well without having that extra medicine. He's so cute and I'm so grateful for him and for the love that he has for me. He's been so concerned and it's so sweet!

Bryce also said to me the other day that he can't wait until this baby gets here. 20 weeks is long enough for a pregnancy. So I asked him why and he said he wants to play with him and hold him and love him. Ahhhhh.....so sweet and then he said and then he can get big and we can go 4-wheeling more! LOL! There is always a little underlying reason for things! I love you boo! and our Little Jelly Bean :)

About halfway through (both pregnancies now) it's hard to breath even when I walk up stairs or bend down or stand up too quickly. I have a super duper short waist so the baby pushes on my lungs the whole time. I don't have asthma though, so I cannot imagine how you must feel! I hope that you are doing alright!
