Why can't our bodies be more predictable?

[PrayingMom]

Oh look at baby cakes. It's a amazing how the baby develops and grows over time. So tiny to actually looking like a small baby. ❤️ Well sounds like everything is progressing wonderfully and baby is growing perfectly. I know your DH was absolutely thrilled to see baby and those precious moments of the baby stretching and moving. I know you both are so in love. Just continue to enjoy each moment. Yes waiting until 18 weeks is such a long time but I'm sure everything will be perfectly fine. You should find out the gender then, well are you all finding out or waiting until birth?

Well I'm excited everything is going good for us this far and I pray it still contuines that way. My morning sickness is persistent alright lol it's not that I'm throwing up I'm just nauseated and then after while it gets worst. I've been just relaxing in bed mostly. I have my MFM appointment Wednesday then another appointment on Friday for my RE then my next appointment with my OB won't be until August 11. So I'll be seeing the other two doctors a lot then at ten weeks I'm done with my RE and my appointments with my OB will be every two weeks until 16 weeks then it turns into every week. Well I'll update you Friday after I've had both appointments.

I don't know if I told you but back in April, my DH's cousin had her son at 22 weeks like I did with my son. This was her first child and unfortunately he passed. But I never knew the full story. She called me today to congratulate us and we talked over 2 hours about her story and mines. I gave her some advice and my list of doctors that I'm seeing. I feel great talking to her, because I can help her from my own experience and it just reminded me of my story and how blessed I am to be able to go through all those things so that I could be a listening ear and helping hand to women out there in the world. It just made me remember again why I want to go to Nursing school and get a second degree. It made me cry to hear her story that's sounds so very much no exactly like mines. I was able to share those same feelings with her and tell her I know how she is feeling and truly mean it. To listen with my heart to know she just wanted to talk and it was rewarding to be able to just simply listen. I thank god for everything I've been through because of it all is has made me the woman/ friend I am today!❤️❤️❤️

I thought I should go ahead and update you on yesterday appointment. It was my first with the MFM and everything went great. First we had a really long ultrasound, she really looked at everything and even in the 3d which was pretty cool. My cervix was closed and nice and long. We did discover a very very tiny SCH. Of course that freaked me out and I did allow my emotions get the best of me and I cried. But the ultrasound tech made sure she told the doctor. Next we had a very long consultation about my history of past pregnancies and then he assured me that the SCH is not to be worried about at this point cause it's so small and I'm not bleeding or cramping so we will just watch over it. My next appointment with him is 4 weeks away and at that appointment we will do another detail ultrasound and schedule the cerclage for the following week. So as of now I'm on moderate bedrest, no shopping or going to any stores. I can only go to my appointments and stay at home, while at home no lifting or picking anything up and stay off my feet as much as possible.
Oh yeah the baby heart beat has gone up to 173bpm which is perfect. I was so happy and I'm extremely impress with the progession of my little munchkin. He/she is growing so strong and most definitely keeping me still sick but that's good I know everything is progressing just like its suppose to be.

I have my appointment with my RE tomorrow and we should set up my last appointment with her and do an ultrasound. This may be my last appointment with her because she wants to do a genetics test when I'm ten weeks and I think she is talking about the more invasive CVS test and if she is trying to do that I will refuse to do that, it has to many risks and it can cause a miscarriage and I refuse to put my baby at risk. Now if she wants to do the noninvasive test with just drawing my blood then I'm fine with that. I'll know for sure tomorrow.

But here is a picture of baby below.
Oh I forgot baby is catching up in measuring with my due date. Yesterday I was measuring 8w 2days but according to my due date I was 8w 6days. So just about 4days off! I was so happy about that!

How are you feeling?? I'm sure everything is perfectly fine! I'm still praying for us both still and wishing us a happy & healthy rest 6 months for you and 7 months for me!!

 

[PrayingMom]

Today's appointment went great. We of course did another ultrasound and my little gummy bear was just wiggling around. Heart rate was 178 still very nice (actually the same as Taylor's at this many weeks). She did look at the SCH and said its not active and it's actually healing and it will be gone soon. She said it was not a new development it probably happen at conception and it looks like it's healing. So YAYYY!! Also I did schedule my very last appointment with her and we will do the genetics testing which is the nonvasive one. Other than that no other news, just waiting to get to 13 weeks to get the cerclage placed.

I know you have been busy as a bee with working and finishing up your internship also preparing to move. I'm sure everything is perfectly fine with you and babycakes. Have you had any other appointments? Update me soon. Well as always I'm praying for us and I'll talk to you soon!!💜❤️💙💗.


Here is my gummy bear today😍😍

Hey! Oh my goodness, i'm so behind on everything you have been up to but I am overjoyed by all the good news!! It sounds like your little one is growing and progressing perfectly!! I am always so happy to hear that all of your appointments are going smoothly, as expected. I am sorry to hear about your worries surrounding the SCH, but I'm sure you are feeling much more relieved knowing that it is going away on its own. Anything "out of the ordinary" can always be scary, but I am so thankful that the doctors weren't worried and reassured you that all is well! Aww it is so cute to see your little munchkin growing on the ultrasound pictures! It sounds like baby is catching up to exactly where he/she needs to be and in a completely normal range! So your next OB appointment is Aug. 11, your next appointment with your MFM is in about three weeks, and you have your last appointment with your RE to do the noninvasive testing...did I get all that? Oh, is your cerclage appointment already scheduled. I can't remember if you already told me when it was. I'm sorry, I got myself all confused! Lol. Anyway, it sounds like everything is perfect. I am glad you are taking care of yourself, and that all of your doctors are taking good care of you too!!!

As for me, I don't have all that much to update on! I told you about my 12-week scan, but I got the official results back for the Nuchal translucency and the results showed only a risk of 1 in 10,000 for trisomy 13, 18, and 21, which is great. I had my last appointment with my OB here in AZ before we move. I scheduled my anatomy scan for September 2 with my new doctor after our move. I will be 18w4d then, and we will find out the gender at that time! YAYYY. I was actually considering paying for a private gender scan once I got to weeks (it was only $60 or so), but my DH convinced me that it was only three more weeks. He's much more patient that I am. Lol. Anyway, the last appointment went just fine. She used the doppler to listen to baby's heartbeat, and we talked about getting all my paperwork transferred. I'm sad to leave this OB, but I think I will like my new doctor a lot too. She has actually been my husband's family's doctor for years and years. Although she does primary care too, she is still board certified as an OB/GYN and continues to see OB patients and deliver babies. So yeah, all is just moving along here! I have definitely been busy trying to finish up work and internship. I feel like I have so much to do in the next few weeks before we move, so I have been feeling stressed. Otherwise, I am feeling great. I think I may never have a good night sleep again, but baby is healthy and that is all I could ask for! I feel like I missed something responding to your posts... I'll have to double check! I am so happy for us and the families we are starting! This is really it!! It is so hard to believe that we are going to be holding our sweet babies in our arms in 6/7 months! I am so thankful!!!

Sorry for the long post! Sending hugs your way! Talk to you soon!

 

[PrayingMom]

You are 15 weeks and 2 days today!!! Yay I'm so excited for us! I know I keep saying that but I am over filled with joy thinking about us becoming parents!!

Well my appointment Friday went great, it was the last appointment with my RE. I'm so excited that I "graduated"from being with her. My last ultrasound with her was amazing. We sat and watched the baby wiggle and move for at least 10 mins, she also did the 3d mode and it was amazing. Also the subchronic hemorrhage is completely gone. I was so happy and thrilled I cried that everything is perfect!! I go see my regular OB in the morning, next week is when I see the MFM and then schedule the cerclage. So happy to be accomplishing my mini goals.
I've been having some bad morning sickness still, but I know everything is fine. Oh the most exciting news, my RE did the noninvasive genetics test and the result will be in next week, I also get to find out the gender of the baby from this test . How cool and exciting!!!


How have you been?? I'm sure great. From your last post you won't have any appointments until you move right? So how is that going with packing and stuff? I'm praying your not stressed as much and this will be an easy transition for you all!!

Well I'll talk to you soon!

 

[bamluby]

Yayyy I am always so happy to hear that you are doing well! I'm so excited for you too, and I definitely don't mind that either of us keep saying it!! I don't think I can go a whole day without talking about my pregnancy and how excited I am, but hey why wouldn't we all be thrilled?! (I do try to not be constantly talking with it around some friends, but I don't hold back talking to DH) Lol.

Awww I am so excited that you graduated from the fertility specialist! I'm glad you got to see baby in 3D mode and that he/she is wiggling around and as healthy as can be. I'm also so happy to hear that the SH is completely gone. Everything sounds like it is going perfectly, which I know we have always had faith that it would! I'm sorry to hear the morning sickness has still been pretty bad, but luckily that should be easing up for you here soon!!

Oh my goodness, I am so excited for you to get the results of the genetics test back and find out the gender!!! I know the results will all be perfect, and YAY you will know whether baby is a little girl or little boy!!! Do you have an inkling or preference on gender? I mean I know that of course all that matters is that baby is healthy!

Well good news, I am actually going to find out the gender tomorrow!!! I was feeling too impatient to wait until we move, so I scheduled a private scan. AHHHH DH and I are SO excited. He guesses it is a boy, and I've been feeling like it is a girl. I guess only time will tell! I'll keep you posted! Are you still planning on doing a gender reveal party? I may tell family and friends in a simple cute way, but I think life is too busy right now for us throw a party. Ahh I can't believe we are both finally here enjoying all the little things we always talked about for so long!

Anyway, I'll keep you posted on what I find out and I look forward to hearing how everything goes for you too! Things are going well for me over here. I'm feeling better, I'm done with internship, I have one more weekend of work before we have a little time off to pack up! It's definitely crazy, but things are finally coming together and I'm feeling less stressed. Thanks! Well, I will talk to you soon!!

 

[PrayingMom]

Yes why not be thrilled? We are so blessed.. ☺️

My appointment today went great. Baby still kicking away. He/she actually had its back turn towards us and the tech had to push my stomach a little then he/she flipped around. I bet munchkin was saying stop in trying to sleep �� I was seriously laughing how the baby flipped everywhere. I don't think we will have a gender reveal, I don't know yet, I'm going back and forward about it. My morning sickness is so awful if it lets up I might. And of course we just want a healthy baby but we both want a boy but if we have a girl we will not be disappointed. Just thinking about this all I'm just so happy! The next update will probably after I find out the date for the cerclage placement next week.

How cool, you will find out tomorrow the gender. I'm so excited for you both. You have to update asap. Also congratulations on completing your internship. I'm so happy for you. One week left of work then yes some much needed relax time before you guys move! I'm so proud of us and the many accomplishments we have already achieved and the future goals we will achieve. I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful person like you in my life, I browsed back in our old conversations and it's amazing how time flies and the eventful things we both have been through!

Well I'll be impatiently waiting on your results and mines.

 

[bamluby]

Well....WE ARE HAVING A BOY!!!

Ahhh we are so excited! I cried happy tears when we found out. We would have been so thrilled either way, but it just feels amazing to know! What a blessing! We literally wanted to shout it from the rooftops on the way home! Lol:cloud9

Awww and look at you little munchkin in there! He/she is getting so big! YAYYY can you believe you are 12 weeks already?! Congratulations! My fingers are crossed that the morning sickness lets up soon!!! Your ultrasound sounds amazing. It is so much fun to see them flipping around. It melts my heart!!! Our little guy was flipping around, but then he found a cozy spot and stayed there. The tech had me do lunges around the room, because we still hadn't gotten a good "potty shot"....but the lunges worked and he flipped right around! Ahhh I can't wait to find out if you are having a little girl or boy!

It really is crazy to see how much we have gone through since the very beginning of our conversations. Awww and I feel equally blessed to have met YOU on this journey!! I honestly don't know where I would be without you some days! I'm so happy for us both, and for the families we are creating. It has been so amazing to be alongside you during the ups and downs as we have navigated this journey. Words just can't do justice at a time like this - I feel like I am overflowing with joy, happiness, and gratitude. I couldn't be more excited about this next chapter of our lives.

Ahhh anyway, I look forward to hearing your updates about when you will do the cerclage, your test results, and whether you will be having a boy or girl! EEEK. Take care!

 

[PrayingMom]

Congrats!!! Yayyy it's a boy! I'm so excited for you guys. I know your DH is over the moon happy. I hope your just relaxing and enjoying this time you have off before you all move.

As far as me, I still don't know the gender yet. I'm guessing by Monday they will give me a call. But on other news we didn't schedule the cerclage today like I thought because my cervix is nice, long and closed so he wants to wait to see me in two weeks then schedule it. So I'm pretty impress with my body and how well this pregnancy. But I can't give myself the credit I know God is in total control. My morning sickness is still here but at least I know everything is fine. On the ultrasound my little munchkin was moving so much and was so stubborn. But I'll have to update you later on the gender and cerclage when I know the details. I'm feeling awful so I'm going to nap and rest.

 

[PrayingMom]

We are having a baby GIRL!!!!

Just got the results back probably about 2 hours ago. We've been in disbelief cause I was sure that we were having a boy but nope a little girl. I'm so happy!! All the testing came back negative and she is a healthy little baby..

So have you guys picked out a name for your baby boy? I'm not sure if I asked that already, I'll have to go back through the posts and see. But I know I've told you our baby girl's name which will be Taliyah Brooklyn.

Well no other news yet, once I know the date of the cerclage I'll update you! But I hope everything is going great with you and you are enjoying your pregnancy and relaxing.

Hugs talk to you soon!!

 

[bamluby]

Yayyy you're having a sweet baby girl!!! I am SO happy for you and your DH. I know what you mean about feeling surprised, because I thought I was having the opposite gender too. I know all of us are thrilled either way though, because healthy babies are what is most important!

Aww yes, I remember the name Taliyah. It's beautiful!! We are still struggling to make a list of possible boy names. I literally have a word document saved that we will update by crossing off names that we no longer like. Haha. Girls names were easier to come up with for us, but we will find the right one eventually!

Well even though you don't have a date for a cerclage yet, I am so happy to hear that your cervix looks exactly as it should! Pushing it back will allow you for more time up and around vs. being on bedrest, right? So that is exciting! I am so thankful that our bodies are supporting are pregnancies in the best way possible and that both of us and our babies are healthy. I could not ask for more!!!

Nothing is really new with me. We will be loading the u-haul and driving across states this week, so it's crunch time with packing and cleaning. I will try to get on here at least once before I leave! Well as always, I'm thinking about you (and hoping your morning sickness goes away!) My heart is overfilled with joy for your family and ours, and as always I'm thankful to have you on this road with me!

Talk to you soon!

 

[PrayingMom]

Yes healthy babies are our goals and even though we both were so surprise the more I think about it the happier I get. My DH is like well she is going to be a daddy's girl and how much he wants her to be with him all the time. over protective daddy over here.

We were the same with boy names we couldn't choose between two names. However we been had the girls name picked out and set in stone since we first started TTC. But you both will find the perfect name for him, I can't wait to hear all about that.

Only thing new is I end up going to my local women's hospital on Sunday due to being dehydrated from the morning sickness. It's been very rough and I was at that point I couldn't take it anymore. But I feel so much better now. They just gave me fluids and a few meds and I feel like a new person. I had an appointment today with my regular OB and everything still perfect and baby girl was in there moving so much, I said she was dancing. She loves those little hands she has, she was putting them in her mouth and putting them on her forehead.

But I pray for safe traveling across the states and I hope you guys will love the new place. I'm so excited for you guys. Well stay hydrated and get some rest when you can while you guys are moving and cleaning. Ugh moving can be so stressful and exhausting. But I'll be looking for your update before you guys leave out!!

 

[bamluby]

Hey! How is everything going with you?! How have you been feeling? I hope you have been feeling much better! I am so sorry to hear that you went to the hospital due to dehydration - that sounds awful! I'm glad they took care of you though and that you left feeling better. Have things been going better for you these past two weeks? I certainly hope so, but let me know! I'm glad baby girl is still healthy and happy in there Aww she is going to be a perfect daddy's girl and a beautiful mini-me of her amazing mother.

Well we are officially moved! We are currently living with my mom, so we still need to find our own place, but securing stable jobs is first priority. I have a job interview this week, and my DH also has a few job leads so we are keeping our fingers crossed. It's been a busy few weeks! Just as soon as we started getting somewhat settled and rested from the move, I developed a weird infection in the lymph nodes surrounding my ear, chin, and cheek. My doctor thought it was a calcified stone that was blocking my salivary glands (which I didn't even know could happen!). It caused a bunch of fluid build up, and the side of my face was super swollen and in SO much pain. They prescribed me painkillers and antibiotics (which I was hesitant to take, but I was completely miserable), and today has been the first day that the swelling is starting to go down. Anyway, it was really strange! Otherwise, things are well. I had a doctor's appointment and baby boy is doing great! I thought we scheduled the anatomy scan for the same appointment, but I'm going in next friday instead. Also, I LOVE my new doctor. I feel so relieved and at ease knowing she will be the one delivering our baby.

Well, I don't have too much else to say. Mostly I just wanted to check-in with you to see how you were doing and also let you know that we arrived safely! I hope all is well!

 

[PrayingMom]

I'm happy you guys made it safe. I'll be praying for you guys to find careers in this next journey you'll be taking on with finding a place and all that good stuff. I know you are happy to be home ( at your moms house) at least you can try to relax. I'm so sorry about that infection, it sounds like you were in some pain. Well I'm happy the swelling has gone down and I hope you will feel better soon.

Well as for me, I had the cerclage place on this past Thursday. It was pretty rough, they had to do a spinal to numb me from stomach down and they had a hard time doing the spinal (it's like the epidural) and that was the most painful part. The surgery itself took about 5 minutes then I was in recovery for hours until the feeling came back in my legs. That night I was hurting bad and now I'm just sore with some pains here and there. But I'm hanging in there and baby girl is doing so good, she is very active and I'm sure she is contributing to some of my pain besides the stretching ligaments too. My morning sickness has calm down a lot and I'm feeling well. No other updates yet and I know we will update each other as soon as we can. Take care and I will talk to you soon

 

[bamluby]

Thank you! Yes, it is nice to be home but will feel even better once we have secured jobs. I have basically been offered a job, but I was told the official offer will come directly from their human resources department. I'm still crossing my fingers that nothing falls through, but I am REALLY excited about the opportunity!!! I will keep you posted when I know more. My DH also has an interview for the job that was his number one choice, so we are just trying to think positively!

Oh my goodness, I don't think I realized you were having your cerclage surgery a few weeks back! I'm sorry if I missed that somewhere! How are you feeling now? Hopefully good as new. Yikes, the spinal tap does sound painful especially if they had a hard time and had to keep poking you! It sounds like the surgery went beautifully, other than feeling pain as a side effect. I am so glad to hear that your morning sickness has been better. I felt so bad hearing about how awful it had been and kept praying that you would finally start feeling better. I hope the MS has continued to stay away! And YAYYYY baby girl is healthy and doing great, which is what makes all of this worth it!

As for me, baby boy has been very active too!! It melts me heart every time I feel him kicking or flipping around. DH has also felt him kick, and I will forever remember the look on his face and how excited he was. Ohhhh yes, those stretching ligaments - I have random shooting pains. Is that what yours feel like? Well that is about it for updates on my end. We did have out anatomy scan last Friday. Everything looked great, but I guess I'm still waiting for the doctor to confirm that. I'm so glad to hear everything is going well for you! I look forward to talking to you soon!

 

[PrayingMom]

First I pray that everything is working out in both of you and your DH's favor. I pray that you both will be the top applications and secure the jobs of your desires.

So I've already told you about the cerclage, so now this pass week appointments went great I had appointments on Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday's appointment with my Ob we just listen to baby girl heart tones on the Doppler and he was able to find her pretty quickly. Nothing eventful. On Wednesday with my MFM we of course had ultrasound and she has gotten so big and she was moving sooo much. Even the tech said wow she is so active, she was just bouncing and kicking and having herself a good time. She definitely has long legs ( she didn't get that from me, I'm a shortie) it was the cutest thing seeing her cross her ankles. She loves those fingers too. So my cervix was measuring 5.4cm long which is absolutely GREAT, I was so happy to hear that. It's also closed so no problems THANK GOD!! Also she weighs 5oz and I was told to up my protein intake. I then got my first p17 shot, ouch it hurt but whatever it takes for baby girl. On this Monday coming up (tomorrow) I will have my consultation with the pediatrician for baby girl, since my halfway mark is 18 weeks because the cerclage removal is 36 weeks, I have to get all of that in order. I've done so much research on this lady and other pediatricians and I'm sure she is the right one for us. I think that's all I have to update you on. Oh I will make a baby haul video on the things we bought baby girl so far, I'll tell you when that video is done.

So how have you been? How is baby boy hanging in there. Oh I can't wait until her kicks are big enough for my DH to feel them. I know you DH face was priceles when he felt him kicking. Are y'all still narrowing down baby boys name?
Oh and yes I have those random shooting pains (ouchhhh) but I've increase my water intake and I haven't felt as many and also warm showers help me too.

Well update me soon. Take care, and good luck I'm praying for you both.

 

[bamluby]

I am always so pleased to hear that everything is going well for you! Aww don't you just love ultrasounds? It's always so amazing to see them flipping around in there! Haha that sounds adorable that she was crossing her ankles with those long legs! Our little one did that in one of his ultrasound pictures too. They are just too cute! Ahhh I am so glad to hear about your cervix measurements and of course a successful cerclage! That must be a relief for you to know that everything is perfect! Ouch how many of the shots do you have to do?Ahh can you believe you are almost 18 weeks? It seems so quick for both of us to be around the half way point already! So how does that work after they take out the cerclage- does it just depend on what your cervix does naturally and when baby girl is ready to come between the 36 and 40week mark? Anyway, I am so happy for you that everything is going well and that you even found a pediatrician that you like already! I can't believe we are going to be holding our sweet, healthy babies in only a few short months. It's surreal!!

As for me, baby is healthy and life is good! I definitely love just sitting and feeling baby all day.We are still not totally decided on a name, but at the moment we are leaning towards Cooper James! James is a family name, so it will definitely be the middle name...and we really like Cooper for whatever reason. Lol.

On a different note, I got the job I really wanted! I start the second week of October. So far it has just been a long process making sure I fill out all of the credentialing paperwork to be able to accept insurance as mental health provider, etc. I'm SO excited though! Thank you for your prayers!! DH has an interview in about 30 minutes, so of course I just got done ironing his clothes. Fingers crossed! Next step after getting jobs is house-hunting!

I'm excited for what is in store for us and our families! Life is good! I look forward to your updates, as always, and I will be looking for your new baby haul videos! Take care!

 

[PrayingMom]

So much exciting news for you and your family. Yes you are right life is sooo GOOD! I love the name, it's so adorable! Congratulations on the new job!! I know your excited, and I'm sure your DH nailed that interview and you'll be updated his start date soon!!! Aww life is good!! House hunting sounds so fun, I love watching hgtv and all that stuff. I wanna do some redecorating but bedrest is stopping me, after baby girl gets here I'm going for it.

As for me, baby girl is still doing good. I have my anatomy scan schedule for the 6th with my OB. Oh to answer your questions, I have to continue the shots every week until I'm 36 weeks. At 36 weeks the shots will stop and the cerclage will come out, and at that point we will just be waiting on when she decides to come.
I think I'll make the video soon, I just been tired. When I get those shots it makes my hormones go crazy, I go from being happy then get irritated super fast then sad, ohh the joys of pregnancy. So I had my shot yesterday and today I been in a funk and just been sleeping all day. I know it'll get better just gotta get pass the hard parts and focus on keeping growing baby girl and making it to term, which will all happen.

Well I'll talk to you soon.

 

[bamluby]

Hello there!!!

Wow, it has been so long since I have logged on that even BnB had a notification waiting for me about how long it has been and how I can get involved on the forums again. I am so sorry for taking so long to get back to you! If you ever need anything or want to talk and I'm taking forever, please feel free to email me! I tend to be a little better about checking my regular email since it is connected to my phone. Regardless, I apologize for being MIA! How are you doing?!?!? I hope everything is going great for you!!!

It's been a crazy few weeks for me; a lot of ups and downs. I was out of town two different weeks for my sister's wedding and then a conference, both which were a lot of fun. I also started work last week and my husband started the week before, which has been amazing for both of us! Unfortunately however, we also recently had a very unexpected loss in our family. My cousin's three-year-old daughter developed some sudden health problems and passed away after a week and a half in the hospital. Needless to say, it has been a very emotional time for everyone. The highs have definitely been high, and the lows have definitely been low, but thankfully faith in God has helped ease some of the pain.

How are you and baby girl doing? How did your anatomy scan go? How has bedrest been...the shots...hormones...everything? I have been thinking of your often, and although I have been terrible at getting on here lately, I continue to keep you in my prayers and send positive thoughts your way!

I hope you are still taking it easy, even though I know you want to be up running around, decorating, and nesting. Just remember the house will all come together and your most important job at the moment is taking care of you and baby! I look forward to talking to you soon!

 

[PrayingMom]

First I want to say my condolences to your family and I'm so sorry that happen. I understand the highs being high and lows being really low.

Congrats on both of you all getting those jobs what a relief I bet. How have you and baby boy been doing? I'm sure great. Me, I've been doing great. Babygirl is doing great, her scan was perfect. I've been doing good with my bed rest, so good my OB has decided that he won't admit me to the hospital and I will continue bed rest at home. I was super excited to get that news. My baby "sprinkle will be in November. Baby "sprinkle is like a smaller baby shower, we wanted to have a big one but decided a smaller one is better since I'm on bed rest. I've been shopping a lot online. My DH will start on the nursey after the babyshower. Things are great. I've officially past my first goal, this is the longest I've ever been pregnant and I'm so excited. I got to see babygirl today and she is still very very active. Oh at 24 weeks my OB will be giving me a steroid shot to help develop her lungs cause I'm still at high risk of preterm labor, I get that shot at 24 weeks then again at 28 then 32 weeks. Whatever it takes for baby girl. Hormones are under control from those p17 shots, I think that's all the updates.
