Change of Plans

Image
By
Kevin and I semi-decided last night that we would head to Hanford despite all that has been going on. I want to be with family, watch my son swim with his cousins and run around with Braxten. It is Liam after all that is inspiring me and keeping me going.

Unfortunately, it seems my body may have other plans. I woke up to severe cramping around 4am, took an ibuprofen and ate a granola bar. Then tossed and turned for a little over an hour and slept on and off until about 8am. Now I am throwing up/nauseated, have a slight fever, cramping and feel ill.

I plan to call doc here in a bit to see if traveling is even a possibility, as I really could use some family time. But I'm thinking he'll probably suggest we don't. This process sounds like it will be very painful. Also has a slight possibility of hemorrhage (requires emergency d & c) or infection (requires antibiotics in the hospital). Sure they would suggest I stay nearby. Will call and see...

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...
