It's A....

Baby F cooperated and we now know what we're having!!!  Unfortunately (for those anxiously awaiting the news) we've come up with a special way to tell immediate family, which has to wait until we can make it to them on Saturday.  So no big announcement YET!  Look for the BIG REVEAL over the weekend to see if your guess was right!

The lady who did our ultrasound said she is only a tech and not a doctor, so she could not guarantee that Baby F is healthy, but she sure thought our little one had the most beautiful profile and was an adorable and active guy/gal.  Speaking of parts, she checked for MANY things (our scan lasted about 45 minutes or so) and the good news is Baby F has all the parts he/she should have.  Now, we're waiting on the measurements to come back to confirm everything looks good!  Although we do have one number to share, she estimated he/she weighs 10 ounces.

Mommy & Daddy counted 10 fingers, 10 toes, 2 skinny and long legs, 2 tiny arms, a round little belly, a heart that was pumping away (150 bpm), a cute little mouth (which was a bit difficult for her to get an image of, but she did not think there would be an issue with a cleft palette).  Baby F was kicking mommy with his/her heel and was quite active in there, but at times a bit uncooperative (for what the tech wanted to see/measure anyways) but it gave us all a good laugh.  I have a lot of photos, some better than others, but I think I should wait to post them until the big reveal on Saturday (that way no one guesses).  Other than that, all looked well and she felt I'm measuring right on track with my due date!

Check back with us in a few days for the BIG REVEAL and photos!

Therapy...

Not being silent about our loss is looking to be the best therapy for me during this difficult time. Through Facebook I've had countless friends reach out to me and share their stories of loss. Although it doesn't make me feel better, as we're talking about too many babies in heaven, it does make me feel less alone. So I was diagnosed w/ blighted ovum. Meaning the gestational sac and placenta was growing inside of me (the ultrasound showed it was indeed around 7 weeks along) but the baby stopped developing and was reabsorbed into my uterus. Problem is, the placenta is responsible for pregnancy symptoms, so my body still thinks it is pregnant, but there is no longer a baby or embryo. So, until I actually miscarry the tissue, I will feel pregnant. I don't know how to explain how I've been feeling the past few weeks. At first I thought it was just my uneasy feelings of this pregnancy being "unplanned" and so close to my previous pregnancy. It took me a wh...

25 Weeks & Doctor's Appt.

We hit the 25 week mark today!  Hard to believe!  Time is flying so fast... We had our doctor's appointment today (Kevin is out of town Thursday, so we moved it up).  I weighed in at a whopping 109.8!  My nurse and my doctor's response was they are so so proud of me (I felt so special!  Who would have thought GAINING weight would be so exciting?!).  Kevin's response "WHOA!"  And my response to his "WATCH IT Buddy!"  Ha!  So that's almost 14lbs of weight gain!  I really am quite proud of myself... never thought I could do it (although, I spend most of my time eating these days, so it makes sense). The nurse said I "look cute, am starting to show and have that pregnancy waddle."  Considering I did not feel like I was waddling (sometimes I have to because my tailbone hurts so bad) I was not exactly thrilled about this comment, lol!  I asked Kevin if there is something he is forgetting to tell me... ha! The doctor measured my...
