Now for our pregnancy scare. I am not sure I guess if you would call it a scare, but it has sure scared me!
I woke up sunday morning with a pain in my leg. I have been pregnant 3 other times, so leg pains is nothing new. But this one felt different. I had a really bad headache on sunday so I spent most of the day in bed. Monday I woke up and my leg was hurting a little worse. Sometimes when I put weight on it, it would really hurt. I had a lot to do that day and then a birthday party for my sister that night and a Baseball game. By that night it was hurting pretty bad. I called my mom to see what she thought. She told me to call my OB the next morning. I got up that next morning and had to take Trevor to an appt with his psychologist. I decided to just see how it goes. I get home and after my mom called to ask if I had called... I gave in and called the nurses line. They immediately told me to come in for an ultrasound on my leg. I was a little annoyed since I had to take all three kids with me on such short notice. I was almost ready to bag it, but decided I needed to just make sure it was nothing. So I was very surprised to find out I have a blood clot in my leg. It's a good thing I did go in. Now I have some nice restrictions and I am at risk for more clots the rest of the pregnancy. Just what I wanted to know. I am going back tomorrow to have it checked again and see if I have to go on some blood thinners. Awesome. I will keep you posted.

Ugh like you need anything else right? Stupid clot just has to go and make things more complicated. Good thing you went in though. It seems like it's easy to just blow things off as the same old pain instead of paying to see a doctor. Keep being careful!
Let me know how that check up goes. I'm sorry you've had something else to add to the list. I love the kids playing. I hope they enjoyed their season
That is scary! I am glad you listened to you mom and called. I hope it feels better soon and that it doesnt happen again!
oh man that is super scary! I hope that you are taking it easy. If you need help with boys llet me know, I can come up and take them to a park or something. I would love to do it so let me know. Hope ur doing okay now and the clot resolves itself.
eeeek! i hope that all works out.
I am so glad that the boys are having fun with the sports. THey are so fun to watch too. I hope that your pregnancy goes fast and that nothing else gets added to your already crazy life. Take care of yourself.
