Gr8ness

I think Teddy was up too late partying it up for the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!! Last night was so gr8. Aunt Tonita and Chad came over and I cooked dinner and the 4 of us all watched the game. I remember a few things about the games from '96 and '98, the players and such, but nothing like this. Last night was AMAZING and my one regret is that Coleman and I were not in Lexington. Having both grown up there, it would've been amazing to be there with everyone. I don't care what anyone says, UK has the best fan base, and NOTHING is more exciting than winning after a 14 year drought!

Teddy gave us a quite the little scare though! Last night, of course, we didn't go to bed until like 12:30, emotions and adrenaline way too high. As I was turning over to turn the lamp off, I felt a really bad pain in my right side, like a rip. So of course I immediately freaked out and feared the worst. Coleman and I laid there for a little while poking and prodding and Teddy wouldn't move. I tried not to think about it and thought maybe he was just tired so we went to bed.

This morning when we woke up, I still didn't feel him move. I went to school, with an eyeliner unibrow of course!

A lot of kids loved it. My school has NO school spirit, someone has to show them how it's done!!!! Sorry for the still-wet hair and the tired eyes. Like 5 1/2 hours of sleep is not good for the pregnant body! Love my Cats though. Anyways, I got to school, still hadn't felt him move, so I went to the nurse and we both poked and prodded again. Nothing. She was like don't worry; he's probably just tired. Of course, I still wanted to be sure so I called the doctor and they agreed to fit me in immediately! Coleman was able to meet me there as well which was really nice. 

So the midwife saw me and immediately we heard his heartbeat with the Doppler. 140 bpm. I felt as though a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders! She poked and prodded and still wasn't able to get him to move so she got this cool vibrating machine. It doesn't do anything, it's just more of a stimulus for the baby. So she did that a couple of times on my belly and when she did it to his head, he did NOT like that at all! He started kicking right away! She asked if we wanted to see him, and I was like yes please! Who doesn't wanna see their baby?! So she wheeled in the old ultrasound machine and we got to see him moving around. He was probably just tired from all the partying. But his little hands were next to his face and he is perfect. She also said I did the right thing and it was better to be safe than sorry. 

Anytime I think of something going wrong with Teddy, I always think of that Grey's Anatomy episode where the couple comes in with the mom having a broken wrist and because she had fallen the baby had died in-utero. It is easily one of the saddest episodes ever!!! But I'm glad we went and that everything is A-OK with Teddy. Four more months from tomorrow!!!!! 

As I wrap up, I leave you with a couple of pictures from yesterday. My friend Sabrina sent me this one: 

Absolutely HILARIOUS. I love my Wildcats. I'm on the hunt for a UK newborn onesie for Teddy still.   Who's ready for basketball season to start? Only 6 months and 12 days!!!!! :)
