Back from the Doc!

A Bigger Baby F!

I am back from the doctor and thought I'd blog quickly before heading back out for childbirth class.  The doctor said everything is looking great.  Tummy measured 33cm, mommy weighed in at 118.6, baby F's heartbeat is strong & steady!  Doc confirmed baby is head down and said most babies stay that way after they get in that position!  So those are definitely feet in my ribs and causing me heartburn.  

I asked about baby being so active still--doctor said that is a GREAT sign of a healthy baby (and that the 3am party is just to prepare mommy for those middle of the night feedings!).  I had my Group B strep test (GBS) which is a kind of bacteria that many people harbor in their intestinal tract.  Nothing too serious--if I have it that just means I will begin getting antibiotics as soon as labor starts or my water breaks (whichever comes first).  We'll find out the results next week.  

We're on a weekly schedule now--we'll be back at the doctor next week Thursday (Kevin's schedule permitting, of course!).  For now, I leave you with my latest photos--Baby F at 35 (or so) weeks!  Also some photos from the other night--the boys (especially Bruiser) are REALLY getting protective of mommy's belly... we just thought it was too cute!

P.S.  I posted earlier today too--scroll down for more!

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...
