Addison Updates

First off, I’m sorry it’s been so long since I blogged. I really don’t have a great excuse outside of there wasn’t much to report on that I wanted to talk about. I’m doing well, just trying to adjust to life on bedrest:) I will update on that in a paragraph or two, but first wanted to talk about one of my sponsors, www.Trisports.com. 

I have been blessed through the years to be supported by www.Trisports.com, and when I say supported I mean no matter what happens to me race wise with injuries pregnancy and everything that can happen they have stuck by me. They have never made me feel bad if I haven’t been able to race and I don’t think I can ever repay them for that. I never thought in a million years I would have the opportunities that I have had over the past years, and am so grateful. With that said, please help show some support and visit www.Trisports.com and place an order with my code NRAMB-S and get your discount. If you have visited there recently b/c of me just let me know so I can make sure they know that even when I’m not racing I’m getting the word out about this AWESOME company. 

Update on Addison . . . well since the last post I have had two appointments. The first one came back with positive results showing that he had grown 2 weeks within a 2 week period which was great. He was still registering behind 2 weeks but atleast he hadn’t digressed anymore. I managed to talk the dr. into letting me try part time work with bed rest outside of that, and he agreed to experiment for 10 days. After 10 days I had another visit to see what Addison managed to do. Ugh! I guess he decided to amp up on his activity and ab crunches b/c he only grew 5 days worth in 10 days. I was thoroughly disappointed. Everything else looks good outside of his weight and his waist size, all organs are normal size so that’s good. I learned that they think its a placenta issue which means there’s not much they can do. The dr. also informed me that if at any time I go back for a growth ultrasound and he hasn’t grown at all they will go ahead and induce me. My due date is July 13th to make it to 40 weeks, but the dr. said that I won’t be going past 37 weeks regardless and I could deliver anytime after 32 weeks. What does that mean . . . it means that Addison could be here anywhere in b/w May 18th and June 22nd. Wow, how’s that for some adjusting. I don’t even have a mattress for him yet! They are hoping that he can get to 5 lbs, I’m just hoping there aren’t any lasting effects of early delivery. I had hoped all this extra weight I’ve gained (31 lbs to be exact) would be benefiting him, but I guess not. Oh well! I go back this week for a normal visit where they check other things outside his growth, so I’m not expecting anything abnormal or exciting to report on. Next week they will check his growth again, and I will begin the twice a week appointments. Happy happy joy joy, right . . .? 

In all seriousness, I have to say that my time on bedrest could be far worse. I have had many visitors who have helped me pass the days, and the kindness from people you would never expect it from has been absolutely wonderful. I’m still managing work 4 hours a day, with the drs. approval, so atleast I have some human contact. Thank you to everyone that has kept me and my family in your thoughts and prayers. Once Addison gets here I know it will all be worthwhile.
