Nobody Told Me Growing People Was Hard!

Sorry I've been so neglectful! Pregnancy is a helluva lot harder than I ever imagined! Where to begin? I'm almost 17 weeks pregnant now, and the baby is doing great! I wish I could say the same for myself. I was in the hospital a few weeks ago because I was having trouble breathing. Luckily, I didn't have a blood clot in my lung, I wasn't in heart failure, and all of my organs were still functioning fine. That's something to come in and tell a pregnant woman (especially one who just thought she was having an asthma attack). I was diagnosed with having panic attacks and sent home.

The breathing problems continued, and when I went for my follow up visit to the doctor, I was diagnosed with asthma. Great. Another ailment to add to the long list. In the process of all of this, I turned 30 on August 25th. Everyone kept asking me how it felt to be 30. I told them 30 was a breeze! Being pregnant is the hard part!

Overall, even though I haven't felt the best, I'm very happy. I've just begun to feel the baby kick, and can't even begin to describe how happy I feel each time I feel a little kick. We go on September 23rd to find out if we're having a boy or a girl. If it's a boy, we're going to name him Aiden Matthew, and if it's a girl, she's going to be named Savannah Boleyn.

Here's some pics from my last ultrasound about a month ago. I promise to be better at updating everyone! Thanks for all of the thoughts and prayers, I can definitely use them!
