Results are in...

Well, Lorelei had to be above the 20th percentile today at her scan and she... wasn't! She was 7th percentile. Luckily, everything they measured was small (35 weeks) so they're thinking she is perfectly healthy, but out of space to grow.

So we're being induced tomorrow. I am to be at the hospital at 6am to start the process. Here I sit tonight, nervous (like she's my first). I can't help but wonder if Liam's going to be okay with all of this. I can't help but feel excited to add another child on to our family. I can't help but worry about that child being a girl! I can't help but worry that everything won't run smoothly. I just can't help but let my mind race...


Lorelei Rose we could not love you or want you more. We are sooo excited to meet you tomorrow! You are such a miracle, a rainbow, a blessing. Very unexpected, but such a welcome gift. Cannot wait to get you out of those cramped quarters and into our loving arms! See you soon sweet girl!

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...
