My Pregnancy: Part 4

 I have written and re-written this portion a million times. First I want to expand on the second part of Part 1. If you missed out on the first part of my story you can find it HERE. I am a planner...and I like to be in control of what is going on in my life. Having a baby was one of the first things that I couldn't fully control. I had it in my plans to have a baby...and I had it in my plans NOW! (I'll admit...one of my downfalls is that I can be very impatient) So I didn't understand how to handle not getting pregnant right away!! God has really had to show me that my plans are not His and His are the only ones that are important for my life. His plans for me are so much greater than anything I can plan for myself. I had to accept this...and I mean REALLY accept it. Not just say "ok, ok God I will follow your plans...but lets get this show on the road and give me a baby." I had to come to a realization that it may be years before I had children. Once I whole heartily accepted this I was able to find peace. And it was only a few weeks later that I found out I was pregnant. The same has gone with my entire pregnancy. I have had to realize that it's not always going to go the way I had planned...it is going to go the way God has planned...even if I don't understand why.

I went to the hospital for the first time on Thursday August 15. The day before I just wasn't feeling right. I had been really busy at work and by the end of the day I was having a lot of pain in my back. I thought that I had just overdone it that day and once I got home I could rest and then I would feel better. Nathan put the crib together that night...I was so excited and wanted to be a part of putting it together but I just didn't feel like it so I sat on the bed, watched and took pictures. I finally went to bed thinking that I would feel better the next morning. But when I woke up I still didn't feel right. I was laying in bed and all of a sudden I felt my stomach get really hard. I had never felt anything like it before and thought that it was just the baby pushing up against me. About 30 minutes later it happened again. I called my mom (throughout my pregnancy I have called her about a million times with questions!!) and she told me that I probably needed to see the doctor. I went to the doctors office and they told me to go back home, rest, and drink lots of water....but if the contractions got worse to go to Labor & Delivery. By the time I got home I was contracting every 10 to 15 minutes so we headed to the hospital.

 

 

When I got there everything seemed to move so slow...like hospitals aren't slow enough already! I was ready to find out what was going on and make sure my baby was ok. They hooked me up to the monitors and sure enough I was contracting A LOT!! They ran several tests and ultimately decided that it was probably a urinary tract infection causing the contractions (but they wouldn't know for sure for a couple of days). They sent me home with an antibiotic and said they should start to slow

down.

 

I was scared to go to sleep that night. But I finally did and when I woke up they were still there. And as the day progressed they got worse. They had told me at the hospital that if they picked up to take a hot bath and if they didn't get better by doing that then to go back to the hospital. So that's what I did. The hot bath didn't help...they were coming every 2 minutes...so we rushed back up to L&D. The results of my UTI test were still not back but they still thought that that was what was causing everything. They did decide to give me a shot of terbutaline which is supposed to help stop contractions. The first shot they gave me didn't work but the second did. At least for a while....by the time I got home the contractions were back but they were a little more spaced out (as in every 30 minutes).

 

The next morning I woke up to contractions what were every 2 to 3 minutes again. I knew that if it was UTI causing my contractions then they should be getting better by this point so we went to L&D again. This time they had my test results back and I did not have a UTI. They finally just decided that I was just going to have contractions and that they may never stop. They told me that I needed to be on bed rest because my contractions were the worst when I was up on my feet.

 

The weeks to come were rough. I think a lot of people think bed rest is fun...but let me tell you...it is NOT. It was very lonely and you feel so disconnected from life around you. Everyone you know is continuing on with their daily activities and you are stuck at home not even able to get off the couch. I wasn't allowed to do housework...I could only get up to take a shower and that was it. Don't get me wrong...I wanted to do whatever I had to do to get my baby here safe...I would've stood on my head upside down for 9 months if that's what I needed to do. But it didn't make bed rest any easier.

 

I see so many pregnant girls complaining about how big they are and how hard it is to move around and how nothing looks cute on them. I would've welcomed all those things! I wish I could have enjoyed this part of my pregnancy like normal people do. I would've loved to have been able to go to the maternity store and pick out "cute" maternity clothes! And walk around where people could see my little baby bump that I was so proud of! I would've loved to have been able to go to the baby stores and buy things for my little girl. And have been able to decorate her nursery from somewhere besides the couch. And this was only the beginning.

 

The worst part was the fear. I felt like a ticking time bomb...I could go into labor at any time. And there was nothing I could do about it. As a mom you feel like it is your responsibility to take care of your baby....and I felt helpless. I was still so early into my pregnancy (21 weeks) and I knew that if my baby was born that she wouldn't live. The thought of losing the child that I had prayed so hard for and was so excited about was unbearable. I think I cried everyday for the first few weeks. Because not only was that fear there...it was the only thing that I could think about. I didn't have anything to take my mind off it.

 

As the weeks passed it got a little easier. We still made several trips to the hospital...and my doctor was great to see me at her office when I would get worried. The further along I became the better I started to feel because the percentages of babies that survived early births went up with every week she stayed put. The first goal to reach was 28 weeks which seemed like forever away...but I finally made it there with lots of prayer :)

 

My mom went through the same thing with both of her pregnancies except she lost twins at 20 weeks. She was on bed rest with me starting at 24 weeks so she knew what it was like. And she was so great to be there for me...she was the only one who truly knew what I was going through. She reminded me one day that Natalie was God's child not mine. I had to give her over to Him no matter what happened. It was really hard to do and I had to pray everyday. But everyday that I prayed I would hear God say back "I will take care of you and your baby". This is the only way I was able to make it through.

 

Here are a few pictures of me while I was on bed rest. I don't have many but I am glad for the few I have to remember this time! 

 Me and Cricket on the couch...this is where I spent all of my time unless I was at the doctor, hospital, or in the bed.

 

This is after one of my doctor appointments around 24 weeks.



 

This is me and Nathan on our anniversary! I was almost 27 weeks. We didn't get to go anywhere that night so we stayed in and got Logan's to-go! It was also my moms birthday so we celebrated with them :)

 

Part 5 Coming Soon!!

Welcome to Natalie's Nursery!

I am so behind in blogging!! So much has happened the last few months and I do plan to catch up on everything but today I only have a few minutes so I thought I would share pictures of my sweet girls nursery! And I am going to give a detailed list of where everything came from!! :) I hate when I see something I love on a blog and it doesn't say where it is from...so I am going to do my best not to leave anything out!!

I had hoped to have her nursery complete before she arrived. I had everything I needed to finish it...I just had not gotten it done. (For those of you who are new around here I was on bed rest for almost the entire 2nd half of my pregnancy! I pretty much pulled this room together from my couch :) Thank goodness for online shopping, my husband, and my parents!!) I had Natalie 3 weeks early...and while we were still in the hospital my husband and dad finished it for me! They are so sweet!! And did a great job!

 

 

Welcome to Natalie's Nursery!

As soon as I found out I was having a little girl I knew exactly what I wanted her nursery to look like...Sweet and Heavenly! I know a lot of people do bright colors for little ones...but I wanted something neutral and elegant. So I went with white and a few touches of pink.

If you are interested in seeing how the nursery came together you can check it out HERE, HERE, and HERE.

I think my favorite part Natalie's room is her crib. And I especially fell in love with the way it looks with the bedding on it! I wanted an iron crib from the beginning and knew I had to have this one as soon as I saw it! I loved the detail on it!

 

Her mobile was a gift from my cousins! It was one of the first things I picked out. And I love how the pink pops out around all of the white!! The wall sconces actually came from my room at my mom and dad's house. My mom found them several years ago and when I started putting together the nursery we decided that the room wouldn't be complete without them! Mom was so sweet to give them to me :)

 

 

I looked and looked for baby bedding for what seemed like months. The main thing I was trying to find was crib bedding that also had matching bedding for the day bed. I finally started looking at Restoration Hardware Baby & Child and was able to find a ton of options! They have regular bedding to match almost all of their crib bedding. I ordered about 10 fabric swatches in order to pick out what I wanted. It took me forever to decide! When I got online to order what I had picked out they had just released their newest collection! So of course I had to start ALL OVER!!!! I'm so glad I had waited though because I soon as I saw this I knew it was the look I was going for!

For her crib I decided not to do a bumper. I have read way to many things about babies suffocating with them and I am extremely paranoid about SIDS. I knew there was no way she would sleep with a bumper in her crib so there was no reason to even order one. I didn't want to have to take it off and put it back on a million times. I decided the duvet cover and pillows were a more practical purchase and liked the simplicity of the crib this way. In my opinion some cribs are way to over done and it can take away from the beauty of the crib.

 For the day bed, I ordered the same bed skirt as I did for the crib. I also ordered the same standard pillow shams and boudoir pillows. Instead of doing the flowered duvet cover I went with a solid white linen duvet cover. I didn't want it to get too busy. I love the duvet cover...however I didn't think through the linen part. Natalie and I spend a lot of time in her room and we sit on the day bed a lot!! And anyone that has had linen bedding knows how wrinkly it can get!! If I could do it again I might have chosen something that would be a little more "play" friendly! But I must say...it looks BEAUTIFUL!! Nothing can compare to beautiful linen bedding!

The bed canopy could not have turned out more perfect!! And I can only take credit for coming up with how to do it!! (I hope to do a post on how we made this soon!) I spent hours looking up pictures of bed canopies. There are so many ways to do them...and I didn't want mine to look dinky. Nathan made the box at the top and my dad attached the fabric. This is one of the projects they worked on while I was still in the hospital! It turned out exactly how I imagined!!!

Do you remember the ugly blue chair?? Well this is how it turned out!!! I LOVE it!! And so far the white has not been an issue at all :)



The blanket draped over the chair was also a gift from a cousin. It matches the mobile!! I love how it pulls the pink in the room together!

Here are a few more detailed pictures of things in the nursery!



Natalie LOVES being read to!

Look at all those toys!!



I am so happy with how her room turned out!! I tried to design it around Natalie and us being able to spend lots of time in there. And that is exactly what we do!! I hope she grows up to love her room just as much as I do!!

 

 

Here is a list of where you can find everything in her nursery! I will try to attach links to everything I can!

Pictures of Our Little Princess

 



 

We finally decided on her name last week!! We had a first name picked out but we were have trouble with the middle name. This name picking thing is a lot harder than I thought it would be!! Natalie means "born on Christmas Day". Even though she will probably not be born that day it is her due date so we thought it was fitting :) And we just liked the name Claire!

 

I thought I would share all of our ultrasound pictures up until this point :)

 

 Here is Baby Natalie at 7 weeks! She was the size of a grain of rice. So tiny!

At 9 weeks she was the size of an olive!

At 10 weeks she was the size of a prune! You can see her flounder-like arms!

 This was at 19 and a half weeks! The ultrasound where we found out she was a girl :) She was about the size of a Barbie Doll. I love this precious profile picture!

 Natalie's sweet little face :)

My tiny baby had grown so much!!

 

Baby Natalie in 3D at 30 weeks!!

 

She loves to open and close her mouth!

 

This is my favorite!! I love her little grin :)

 

 

It has been so much fun watching her grow and change! I cannot wait for my baby to get here so we can meet her!!

 

XOXO,

Kelsey

My Pregnancy: Part 3

The first part of my second trimester was a breeze!! I felt great and was enjoying watching my little baby bump grow!! I was one of the lucky ones with pregnancy symptoms. I never had morning sickness! The only bad symptom I had was a ferocious appetite!! I was hungry ALL the time!!! I would eat a huge meal and 15 minutes later I would feel like I had not eaten in days! Think about the hungriest you have ever been in your life...this doesn't even begin to touch the hunger I experienced!! The only way I could describe it to my friends was to tell them "I would literally poke your eyeballs out to get your food if I was hungry and you wouldn't share". It was THAT bad!! And it started in the first few weeks of pregnancy and lasted until about week 20!!

Did I mention how much I was enjoying watching my baby bump grow?!? I know this will sound awful but I was one of those people that really dreaded the "pregnancy" part of having a baby. I mean who wants to gain a ton of weight and worry about stretch marks. And I never understood why all these girls would post pictures of their huge belly on Facebook!!! YUCK! But now I totally understand! That is MY precious baby in my stomach and I am so proud of it! My whole perspective has changed! I LOVE being pregnant! Even after all of things I have been through. It was during my 15th week that I felt her move for the first time!! At first I wasn't sure if it was her or not. But after feeling the same thing for a few days I knew it was her! Feeling your baby move is the most incredible thing ever!!! I think it is one of the reasons I love being pregnant so much. She is always with me and I don't have to share. I was the only one that could feel her for a while...Nathan didn't feel her until about 21 weeks. I love the fact that she is with me 24/7. I know her schedule...I know when she is awake and when she is asleep. And I know when she doesn't like something...she hates the monitors at the hospital!! I know when she is tired and when she has lots of energy. And I selfishly love being the only one that knows this stuff! When she gets here I know I will have to share her with other people...and I know that that will be hard. So I have really loved getting to enjoy her by myself! :) Pregnancy really is a special time!

It was also during this time that we found out the gender!! Although I didn't really care if it was a boy or a girl. We went for our anatomy ultrasound at 19 and a half weeks, but didn't find out at the doctor what the gender was. All of my friends were like how in world did you not find out!! Honestly, I was only worried about finding out one thing....if my baby was healthy or not. The anatomy scan is so much more than finding out the gender. It is the ultrasound where they look and make sure all of the baby's organs are there and check to see that they are growing like they should. Even after the appointment was over I was content just knowing my baby was healthy! We had a gender reveal party that night and found out with all of our family and friends that we were having a little girl! It was so exciting and I am really glad that we waited until then to find out :) I think it was more fun for our families that way...they were excited about seeing our faces!! You can see my full post about the party HERE!

Here is a picture of me and my baby girl the night we found out!!

 

This part of my pregnancy was definitely the easiest part! I even told people that if every pregnancy was this easy I wouldn't mind having LOTS of children!! Little did I know what I was in store for the next few weeks. Even though this part was so easy I wouldn't say that it was better than the other weeks. Because I have truly enjoyed every part!

 

Stay tuned for part 4!!

Nursery Progress

I am so excited because I finally feel like we are making some progress on the nursery!! For those of you who don't know I went into early labor two weeks ago at 28 weeks pregnant. Luckily, they were able to get it stopped :) I had to go to UAB and was there for a week but now I am back at home on bed rest. We only have 10 weeks left until her due date...but there is a really good chance that she won't wait that long so we decided that we better get the ball rolling with her nursery!!

 

Nathan painted the nursery the weekend after I came home. It looks a million times better!!

 

Here is a reminder of what the room looked like before. It was an awful yellowish color. The room felt really dark and small.

Nathan working hard!!

 

Here it is finished!! The room feels so much bigger. We did go with the Benjamin Moore color Edgecomb Gray that I talked about HERE. And I LOVE the way it turned out!!

 

There has been one weekend that I haven't been on bed rest since August. My doctor released me to go back to work on light duty at the very end of September. My mom and I got out that weekend to do some clothes shopping since none of clothes fit me anymore :) We went to a store called David Christopher's while we were out and I found the most beautiful armoire!!

 

 

I was so excited to find this piece of furniture!! It was the last big piece that I needed to get and it is so hard to furniture shop from home :)

 

Here is a picture of the inside with some her things already in it!!

 

Nathan went to one of our local fabric stores called Your Décor to pick up some fabric samples for the rocker. They are always so helpful over there!! Here are some of the choices he came home with...I am still trying to finalize which one I am going to go with.

 

 

 

Today we had a package arrive...and it was more of the bedding!!! We are still waiting on one last shipment that we probably won't receive for another month or so :( But this is the main thing the I had been waiting on...the duvet cover for the crib!! I am so excited about it!! It looks exactly like I hoped it would!!

 

 

NOTE: The crib is still not complete! I am still waiting on pillow shams and I don't have sheets on the mattress yet. But I just couldn't wait to share!!

 

Another piece that I forgot to share the first time around is the antique book rack. This is actually the very first item that we purchased for our baby! There is a local antique store here in town called Scobek's. I LOVE their store!! So many pieces of furniture in my house have come from there!! And the guys that run it are awesome!! They are so helpful and always help me find whatever I am looking for! If you live here and have never visited their store you are missing out!!!

 

 

 Isn't it sweet!!! I fell in love with it the second I saw it!! I can't wait to fill it with books to read to my baby girl :)

 

Another thing that I am really excited about are these super cute wall sconces that are going to go above the crib. They actually hung over my bed at my parents house but we decided that they were perfect for the nursery...so I stole them from my mom. This is not the best picture but you will get the idea!

 

 

Here is a drawing I did of what I have in mind for above the crib. Don't laugh!! I have never claimed to be an artist!

 

 

I plan on hanging to the mobile in the middle and the sconces on either side. I know that the mobile in the middle is not the traditional way to do it...but I think it will work. I am still waiting on it to come in though.

 

Here is a picture of the daybed. It still does not have bedding so it looks pretty pitiful.

 

 

The wall space above the bed is pretty big and I have been trying to figure what to do to fill the space. I think I have decided to do a canopy. I didn't want to do a bed frame because it would take up so much room on the sides but I feel like the bed needs to be outlined in some way. Here is a picture of what I am planning on doing.

 

 

I have a mirror that I am going to have painted and I saw these really cool wall letters online that I think I am going to hang over the mirror. Here are pictures of both.

 

 

 

I am still looking up ideas on exactly how I want to do the canopy. I'll share them soon :)

I also need to have Nathan hang the curtain rods so I can pick out curtains. And I need to pick out a rug. Once we finish all these things her nursery will be complete!! Hopefully it won't be long!!

 

Until next time!

My Pregnancy: Part 2

No one can prepare you for how hard your first trimester is. I had never thought past a positive pregnancy test. I guess I thought that everything after that was just all about being excited. For me, the first trimester was not hard because of the pregnancy symptoms...but because of the worry. Maybe it is just me...I know I worry a lot more than the average person...but so much can happen in your first trimester. The miscarriage rate is so high right at first. My biggest fear was that we would go in for an ultrasound and they would tell me that my baby didn't have a heartbeat. I already loved this little baby so much and couldn't fathom the thought of losing it. I spent the entire first trimester praying that my baby would be ok and if we could just make it to 12 weeks I could rest well. My mom quickly let me know that the worry you have for your child never goes away....and in the short months that I have been pregnant I see how right she is! (To my baby girl: if you read this one day...always know that mommy knows best!!) I prayed every single day...most days more than once. And every time I prayed I heard God say back "I will take care of you and your baby". I always love when I hear back from God. I used to think that it was impossible...but then I realized that God speaks to us in so many ways...we just don't always listen. If you have never listened long enough to hear back from God...wait for next time. Because this is best kind of comfort you will ever receive! This one sentence has gotten me through so much :)

When I was considered to be 5 and a half weeks pregnant I started to show signs of a miscarriage and I was so scared. I was told to come in for blood work the next day. My numbers came back good so they decided to do an ultrasound to make sure I wasn't having an ectopic pregnancy. The ultrasound went well...it was too early to see a baby but everything else looked good so all we could do was wait. They scheduled me for another ultrasound for 7 weeks. I thought that appointment would never get here. But it finally did and when I saw my tiny baby with an amazing little heartbeat my heart just melted. I was instantly in love!! One of my very first thoughts was how in the world can people not consider this a baby!! I mean you could see her heart beating! Life is such a miracle and so many people take it for granted. We had to wait another 2 weeks before we got to see our baby again. And it was just as incredible as it was the first time around :) This time instead of looking like a little piece of rice she actually looked like a baby!! You could see her little body with arms, legs, and a little alien looking head :) She was so cute!!  It was after this that we decided to tell the world!! We sent out cards to our family and friends...even though some of them already knew.

I ordered these cute little cards from ETSY! It was so much fun to hear from people as they got them!!

At 10 weeks I had really bad pain in my stomach so they decided to have me come in to make sure everything was ok. They use what is called a Doppler to listen to the baby's heartbeat. At this point I had never had that done before because we had always had an ultrasound. The nurse spent several minutes trying to find the heartbeat but couldn't. She told me not to worry because the baby was still so small and they can't always find it. So they immediately sent me over for an ultrasound. The worrier in me tried to stay calm. I was by myself that day so I called Nathan and my mom and just told them to say a prayer for the baby. I had to wait about 30 minutes to have the ultrasound done and while I was sitting there waiting my sweet husband showed up. He didn't want me to be by myself in case something was wrong. They finally called us in and immediately found the heartbeat!! I was so relieved :) And it was fun seeing my baby again!!!

I finally made it to the 12 week mark and I was so relieved. Looking back, I wish I would have enjoyed those weeks a little bit more. I was so consumed with worry that I missed out on a lot of the excitement I should have been experiencing. One of the many lessons God has taught me through my pregnancy is that He is in total control. This baby girl is His...not mine. And His plans for her are better than anything I could ever imagine.

Hope you are enjoying :) Part 3 Coming soon!!

My Pregnancy: Part 1

I have had so many people praying for me and asking about me in these last few weeks that I decided to share my pregnancy story here and I want to start at the very beginning. My story is pretty long so I am going to do it in a 5 part series. Some parts are very personal...but my hope is that someone who is going through a difficult pregnancy like me might find comfort in my story.

 

I found out that I was pregnant on April 13. On the day before I was getting ready for work and decided to take a test. I suspected I might be pregnant. I took the type that has the pink lines. One line means not pregnant and two lines means pregnant. Only one line came up. I was disappointed. I wanted a baby. I set the test aside and brushed my teeth and a few minutes later I picked up the test to throw it away and I saw this super faint second line. I stared at it for while thinking am I just imagining a line because I want it to be there...or is it really there?? According to the most accurate source of information {insert sarcasm} GOOGLE says A LINE IS A LINE!!! I still decided not to get too excited. So I stopped by Nathan's office on my way to work to show it to him. Of course by that time it had been more than 10 minutes...which is the time frame for the accuracy of the test. We decided not to get excited and that I would try taking another test later on that night. We were hosting a party at our house the next evening for a friend of mine that was getting married..and we were busy that night trying to prepare for the party so I just decided to wait until the next morning to take it. I couldn't sleep all night so I ended up taking the test at 4 a.m. This time I made sure to take the type that says either pregnant or not pregnant on the screen. It took the test several minutes for anything to come up...it felt like forever...but it finally popped up pregnant!!!! I was beside myself excited!! I ran back into my room and woke Nathan up! He was really excited...but a little skeptical of a home pregnancy test. He wanted to get it confirmed by the doctor. He had no trouble going back to sleep...but I was too excited! I just laid their thinking about my baby!!! I wouldn't let Nathan sleep past 6 a.m. because I wanted to go over to my mom and dad's house and tell them!! I didn't do anything exciting...I just walked in the back door and said GUESS WHAT!!!! You are going to be grandparents!!! My dad thought we were joking at first :) But they were thrilled!! We had the party at our house that night and I was just bursting with excitement! I wanted to tell everyone... but I kept it a secret...at least for a few more weeks :)

 

Pregnant!!!!!

 

This is me and my friend Allyson (the one getting married) at the party that night :)

 

The weeks prior to finding out I was pregnant I learned a lot about prayer. I have prayed for this child since before she even existed. As I mentioned earlier...I really wanted a baby. And I hope my little girl will know just how much she was wanted and how very much she is loved. I went through a time where I really worried that I might not be able to get pregnant. It must have been Satan messing with my mind because I had no logical reason for thinking that. I prayed that God would give us children. But I also struggled with prayer at the time. I went through a period where I was sort of angry at prayer. I wondered why we even prayed. If God knows everything that is going to happen and we can't change His mind...why pray?? I shared my thoughts about it with my mom one day and she reminded me that we don't pray to change God's mind....we pray to align out hearts with what He wants. I then realized that I didn't need to pray that I would get pregnant....I needed to pray that God would bless us with children WHEN and HOW He wanted to. Looking back I can see how God was preparing me for the pregnancy that I was about to experience. And that the most important thing was that I give my fears to Him and TRUST.

 

Stay tuned for Part 2!!!
