24 Weeks & Growing!

Image
By




We're 24 weeks today!  Mommy and Daddy agree that mommy's tummy grows more and more each day.  Makes sense, as Baby F is supposed to be growing an average of 6 ounces per week for the next month!  Mommy's back is certainly noticing the extra weight.  According to our scale, mommy has gained 11lbs so far (although we'll double check that at our next doctor's appointment!).  Mommy is still craving nacho cheese and anything sweet (as a matter of fact Daddy has cookies baking in the oven for Mommy right now!  What a sweetie!).  Fatigue has set in again!  Yesterday I took a 2 hour nap mid-day, but we had a busy weekend with visiting family, so Daddy reminded me to use that excuse!

The nursery is coming along, we finished it off with a nice chocolate brown rug today.  I'll have to get in there soon and take some photos.  We've also got the walls done (minus a quote to go over the crib--I just haven't decided on one yet!).  Tonight I finished a project I've been working on since last week.  I am a terrible artist, but found this to be really relaxing... and I don't think they turned out too bad!

Closet Dividers


Everything is going well and coming together.  It certainly is exciting!  Pregnancy becomes much more real when you have a nursery and your belly is visible with a shirt on.  We are still debating on names, although I've been having lots of dreams about the name Levi.  I've had one dream where I see our son's face and we decide to name him Levi.  Then I had another where we were at home with the baby and calling him Levi.  So, I guess we will see... (although I think Daddy would prefer the name Aisen).

Next doctor's appointment is Thursday the 18th!  It's time for my blood glucose test, so wish us luck with that.  We will keep everyone posted...

Therapy...

By
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.

By
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...
