Names names names, there are so many names! After getting married we began brainstorming ideas for our future children's names. At the time, I had just quit working at a daycare and had really liked the name James. It was one of my favorite kid's names (yes there were favorite kids) at the time. It... Continue Reading →
Where to even begin? This child has had his own game plan the entire time. Ever since my water broke at 29 weeks on March 19th, I had experienced multiple occasions where I thought I might be starting labor. I want to say there were at least 5 days where I was having contractions for... Continue Reading →
One week to go! Of course that is assuming things remain uneventful until then. It is sort of surreal to think that we will be having another child by the end of next week. While I am excited to see his little face for the first time, I am also a little sad that this... Continue Reading →
3 weeks down and 1 and a half to go! The day after being admitted we went for an ultrasound to measure my fluid levels. During that ultrasound we found out that little man was breech. Most doctors will not do a breech delivery. Although, a couple of the ones I have met with said... Continue Reading →
Well, we have made it to the 32 week mark. Which means I have 2 weeks left to make it to the 34 week goal. I honestly wasn't sure I would make it this far, but I am glad for each day that little man stays inside. Last night was rough. Chris has been at... Continue Reading →
Before getting pregnant, I knew I wanted to do certain things when we did get pregnant again because I knew it would be our last baby. When I ended up being admitted to the hospital two weeks ago (at 29 weeks) I knew that meant any plans we had were going to change. I knew... Continue Reading →
The days seem to sort of blur together. With people constantly coming in and out of my room there just doesn't ever seem to be a good enough time to sleep. My day usually starts around 4am. My nurse or caretech will come in to get my vitals (blood pressure and taking my temperature). If... Continue Reading →
Well we have made it one week so far in this here hospital. Baby and I are both doing as well as can be expected. People keep telling me that I must be going crazy laying here all day long. Though I do feel I am missing out on things outside of here I am... Continue Reading →
Within hours of my last post, I ended up in Labor & Delivery. On Tuesday evening, we had eaten dinner as normal and decided to go to the local neighborhood marketplace to get a few groceries. I was feeling pretty good considering the pelvic issues from the 2 days prior. We walked through the first... Continue Reading →
When I was pregnant with Pickle (2012) I remember feeling this burning sensation in my pelvis. It was hard to go up stairs (we lived on a 3rd floor apartment at the time), putting on pants was daunting, and even laying down was difficult. I remember it started around 14 weeks, which doesn't seem like... Continue Reading →
