Continued Doctor Update and 25 weeks!

So, I will start with the somewhat good news. The second infection we all thought I had is not there. I went to the doc yesterday AM and they cultured my samples and there is no infection and there never was. Yeah! Bad News: It still feels like I have one and there is not a treatment to help the pain right this minute. I have to live with the pain of this one, without meds. So we have narrowed it down to two things (I am hoping for 1).

1. The antibiotics I was on for the sinus infection have inflamed my uterus and bladder to the point of feeling like I have an infection and I just need to let everything calm down. I have stopped the meds and we will see what happens....

2. It is the baby laying or adding just the right pressure on my bladder or nerves for the bladder causing the intense pain. If this is the case, I will be finding out when I go to my next OB appointment on Friday and there may not be much he can do about it....I can not even imagine dealing with this for 15 more weeks. Justin is supposed to have a little "chat" soon with his daughter about keeping mommy in discomfort all day :o)

I will update everyone when we know what is going on here.....

On a positive note, I am 15 weeks away from this little girl arriving. And boy is she letting me know she is here. Constant movement and kicking now. Here is what is going on this week.

25 weeks

How your baby's growing:

Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. Her weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but she's beginning to exchange her long, lean look for some baby fat. As she does, her wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and she'll start to look more and more like a newborn. She's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.
