Updates

Yesterday I had my ultrasound... everything has passed on its own! Thankfully. On a negative note, I have a SEVERE infection that may or may not have been caused by the miscarriage. I am in a lot of discomfort, so hoping the antibiotics clear everything up quickly.

My appointment with a new doctor (well, the doctor who did my d&c, so not entirely new, but new to the "newest" situation) has been scheduled for next week. We are going to discuss my fertility issues and see what he wants to do (I'm thinking probably nothing now, but if/when we fall pregnant again, I'll have a doctor in the early part of my pregnancy readily available to me, which makes me feel better!).

Today was eye appointment day for the entire family. Kevin is currently at his appointment, but Liam and I finished up this morning. Good news... my prescription FINALLY has not changed (having Liam wreaked havoc on my eyes) but my eyes have been reshaped by the contacts I've worn for years, which could have caused me a corneal abrasion (thankfully we caught it before it did that!). So, I had to have my eyes dilated and a new contact lense fitted. Just means more appointments next week :(

And the worst news... Liam should have scored a 2 on his eye exam, but he scored a 1. The doctor said it is inevitable that he will need glasses when he is older. Said it's in his genes :( We are going to hold out on that and see if he complains of any vision issues later. Sure crushed me though, I'd prefer he not have to go the glasses and contacts route. They are expensive and ANNOYING, especially for boys. Poor kiddo!

This family has been through A LOT toward the end of 2011. Hoping 2012 looks much brighter for our family!

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...
