Check Up for Abby After 2 Falls...
I called the doctor today to confirm my appointment for Monday and after talking to my mom earlier decided to ask them about two times I fell in the past 2 days. Wednesday night I fell down the stairs. I was kinda of scooting down on my hands and feet and my belly did not hit the stairs, just my butt. I hadn't had any bleeding or anything so thought nothing of it. Last night I sat on a canvas outdoor chair and it broke making me fall on my butt and hit the cement beneath me. My mom said the same thing happened to her when she was pregnant with me and they ran tests on her to make sure I was ok. I told the doctor about it and they have me coming in today at 2pm to monitor us to make sure she is ok.
DH was supposed to take his general knowledge test today for his teaching certificate, but after hearing the docotor wanted to see me decided not to go. He is a bit of a mess because when I was in pain almost 2 months ago they wanted to treat it like nothing and this time I have no pain and they want to see me. He would not be able to take the test being so nervous. The test center doesn't have a direct line to get in touch with a live person. The best he could do was send them an email. He is supposed to give 24 hrs notice to be able to reschedule and we just found out about the appointment 2 hours before he was supposed to take it. Now he is worried he will have to take it on my due date or after Abby is born and doesn't want to leave us. We could be out $130 because of this.
Abby has been moving fine these past two days, in fact I think even more than usual. I've had no bleeding or cramping. I am sure she is fine. I know it is better to be safe than sorry. I just wish I would've thought to call the doctors yesterday, the day right after the first fall happened.
Please keep us in your prayers. Thanks everyone!

Thanks Tara! Everything turned out to be fine. I never actually talked to the doctor. The nurse hooked me up to the monitors and tracked everything for 1/2 an hour. I had to push a button every time I felt Abby move. The nurse showed the sheets to the doctor and said he was happy with what he saw and I should keep my appointment for Monday because I didn't actually see a provider today. I hope they check to see if I am dilating on Monday. I wouldn't mind if she came a little early.
How's Lily? The picture you put on facebook are adorable!!!!

Glad everything is fine! Thank you! Lily is good but stubborn! I never knew a newborn could throw temper tantrums. She screams her head off when she wants to eat (even if I just nursed her a half hour before) or when we put her down. She is having a hard time breastfeeding. She only wants it for 10-15 minutes at a time but then wants it again just a little bit later. This means I'm feeding her about 15-18 times a day. It is so draining. I just got my pump in the mail so I'm hoping to pump into bottles soon so DH can feed her too and I can have a break. The lack of sleep is getting to me too! It is a big adjustment.

Is she only on breast milk? My cousin's daugther was having a hard time breast feeding so they are doing a combination of both. She is gaining weight now, my baby cousin that is.
