Lorelei update

By
So I had an appt. last week for my allergies (they gave me a prescription, but ole' natural mama shall suffer through without them) followed by an appt. for my back/legs giving out. Doc determined it's my sciatic nerve :(

Yep, Lil' Miss Stinker earned me this:


Cute huh?! Oh and some physical therapy. Thanks Lorelei. You lil' turd. This making a girl thing has NOT been easy on my body. Doctor said my sciatic nerve should NOT bother me after I have her (let's hope!). But I truly think my bladder is just about done forever now.

Doctor did confirm our little lady is head down and she said there was a good chance she will stay like that because she's probably running out of room (a bit earlier than most, but she said I'm just so petite). She HATED the doppler as usual, but cooperated (150's) and my belly measured behind of course! (not sure how much, doctor wouldn't tell me!).

Doc said we're progressing wonderfully. I am on weekly visits now. One this week Thurs. and I'll schedule another for next week. YAY! Almost there!

33 weeks, 2 days!


33 weeks, 5 days

34 weeks!

Diaper bag my sister in law bought us (gift card!). I think this will handle ALL the stuff I tote around for Liam and the thousands of must-have's for Lorelei?! If I can pick it up! HA!

Speaking of gifts, I really need to get some baby shower photos on here don't I? A project for tomorrow, as this time change, single mommy, 8 months pregnant business has me exhausted! Great news is, we get our daddy back in a little over 3 weeks and then hopefully our little Lorelei makes her appearance... AFTER that!

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.

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...
