Movement

So yesterday I spoke too soon. This morning while lying in bed, I felt the first little flutters. I love feeling them. This was one of my most favorite times when I was pregnant with Aydan. And to be able to experience it all over again, I have no words for it.

18 Weeks To Go

Just a quick post from my I.phone. I cannot believe that we only have 18 weeks to go! It is so crazy. I have not felt little J move yet but I'm guessing any day now I will. Luckily I go to the doctors every 2 weeks so I get to hear the heartbeat often. I hope everyone is doing great!

It's A.....

GIRL!!!

We are so excited!!!

Do not have alot of time to post today but will try and come back later.

And because she is so stinking cute here are some pictures Aydan.

My Whirlwind Four Weeks

Oh my let me tell you that the last 4 weeks have been insane. I have seen 4 different doctors, been the to emergency room twice, and been let go of my current OB to find another one. I guess I will start with the whole OB thing first. After my first appointment with my OB they had me make an appointment at a hospital and hour away in Evenston to see a high risk doctor. We went there and had a great consultation with the doctor. She went over my whole history with both pregnancies and concluded though I was on insulin for Aydan everything was very under control and I should not need to go there for this pregnancy. I should be able to stay with my currant OB. This news was very exciting because in order for me to go to my appointments last time I ended up having to take off the whole day from work because they are more like a clinic and you wait for hours till they call you back. And I also did not work once I went to twice weekly visits because my work would not work around my appointments. So not having to go there would have been great. I went back to my OB 2 weeks later for my monthly appointment and was told by my doctor he would not see me anymore. He didn't care what Evenston said he did not want to care for me since I will eventually be high risk. I left the office that day very upset. I made the call to Eventson to transfer there and was told because I was not high risk yet they could not take me. I was completely lost on what to do. My doctor wont take me and the hospital he told me to go to wont take me. Where was I supposed to go?

.

I called OB after OB and was told the same thing. Since I will be high risk they would not take me. I called over 50 OB and spent over 4 hrs on the phone. To make matters worse I started bleeding that night. I had no OB to call and had to go to the emergency room. They did nothing but tell me to see an OB and take it easy. They gave me a referral number, one of which I had called the day before and was told they would not take me, and I called it telling them I had a referral from the emergency room. Lo and behold they said they would take me after all. Its amazing what a little piece of paper can do. I mad an appointment for the next week to see them. But before I made it to that appointment I started bleeding more and having cramping. So back to the emergency room I went.

.

I hated this visit. I had to go alone because we could not get anyone to watch Aydan and so Teressa had to stay home. I went in and sat for hours in a room. When the PA finally came in she checked me out and told me that I was dilated and placental tissue was sticking out and would miscarriage in the next 24 hours. Here I was almost 10 weeks. I was upset to say the least. I called Teressa and told her what they said and of course she was very upset as well. I waited for another couple of hours and they decided to do an ultrasound. Everything looked great! The baby was great, heartbeat was great, cervix on the inside was great. Nothing looked amiss. I felt better but still did not understand what exactly was going on. I was then sent home with no other explanation.

.

I went to the new OB appointment and was looked over. The dilation the emergency room saw was not dilation or placental tissue. I have a polyp on my cervix. Right smack dab in the middle. It is causing the bleeding and we will just have to watch it very closely. The baby is doing great and I got to hear its little heartbeat! Its very strong and music to my ears!

.

I have other information but that is a whole other issue and I will write about that later. As for right now I am doing good and the baby is doing good so that is all that really matters in the end. As for everyone else I hope your last month was a lot better then mine.

8w4d and a picture

I feel so terrible. I promised a picture of the little sprocket and did not deliver. In my defense I have been very sick as well as the whole house. Teressa got the stomach flu then Aydan got it and then I did. It was a very bad almost 2 weeks. Aydan went through almost a whole pack of diapers and by far had it the worst out of all of us. We did have an ultrasound on Monday and everything looked great. We did not get a great picture but the little one is measuring great and had an excellent heartbeat of 158. We were a little disappointed we did not see two in their though a little relieved at the same time. As promised here is a picture of little Sprocket.

7 Weeks

I cant believe that 7 weeks has gone by already. We get to have our first ultrasound on Valentines Day! I take this as a good sign. We cant wait to get our picture of our little bean. Everything has been a little crazy around here since we found out we were pregnant. Our little Aydan is allergic to Milk. Unfortunately dairy is about 3/4 of the things she does eat. She is a very picky eater and does not eat much. As such she is almost 17 months and only weighs 20 pounds. I have to call a nutritionist to make an appointment for her. I am still going to school this semester so I am still very busy at doing my work as well as working full time. I have been having a lot of issues at work lately and though I hate to do it, I am currently looking for a new job. I have bent over backwards for my job and they continue to screw me over. I am done being treated like this and need a happier and less stressful place to be.

In pregnancy news. In my other pregnancies I never had morning sickness. I got spoiled I have to admit. With this one I have been nauseous every night and on several occasions I have thrown up. I hate to do this and just the act of throwing up will make me do it several more times. I cannot eat dinner most nights at all and it make me supper hungry in the morning. I have no problems throughout the morning or afternoon but as soon as 5ish hits that's it. I take this as a sign that the baby is growing very well. I have also not had any Spotting! I am so happy about this I cannot express how much. In the last pregnancies by week 5 I was spotting very heavily and was told several times that I was probably going to loss the baby. So far on this one nothing! I will however feel much better once I see its little heartbeat tomorrow.

The Results Are In

Well my TWW is over and I broke down and tested this morning. We have a BFP!!!!! I'm a little shocked right now because i really wasn't feeling it this month but I guess I was wrong. The only sign of anything was I am completely exhausted. I felt like i have not slept in weeks. I was thinks it was because I have been so super busy this month but now we know otherwise. I will post a picture later after a different test because the one I took is very light and did not make a good picture.

TTC #2

So we have decided to try for a second. Its something we've talked about back and forth for a while now but we feel now is a good time. We have actually been trying for 5 months now so for someone that it took the first time both times, I'm having a bit of a hard time. I got really lucky the last times and I'm seeing that now. Our next try will be on my birthday and maybe I'll get a wonderful belated birthday present in the form of a Bfp. Keep your fingers crossed for us. If by luck it does work this time, Aydan and the new little one will have very close birthdays. I was hoping to avoid this but I don't want to not try this month because then I will feel like this could have been the month if you understand what I mean.

(hopefully this cute little face will get to be a Big sister)

Happy Thanksgiving!

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! We will be heading to Teressa's family's house later today. I am curious to see what Aydan eats because lately she has become the pickiest eater and wont eat much of anything.

Speaking of Aydan, she is getting to be such the little toddler. She is 14 months now. Shes trying to run but is not very good at it yet. She falls down when she tries but she thinks its hilarious! She has a few words that she says but not very many.

• Mama (finally. she just said this the other day!)
• Itty (Kitty)
• Ge (For Doggie)

We cant believe how big she is getting! Shes still a little peanut and is only in the 7th percentile for height and weight. She can still wear a few 9 months cloths but is mostly in 9-12 months. The straight 12 months are a little big on her.

She's Turning One!!!

I have been so bad on posting and I feel terrible. I have a new shift at work now and basically work from 6am to 6pm with a 4 hr break in the middle. And because we moved farther away from my work I stay there and wait to clock back in. Its not fun and I am currently looking for a closer place to work at. I love the kids where I am at but I feel like they just use me because they know I will do it cause I need the job.

But into my little bit. Shes not so little anymore. In a few short days she will be turning one and I can't believe it! We has her birthday party today and she had so much fun. She loved her cake and smashed it to bits and loved her gifts. She did not want to rip open anything and Me and her Mama had to help her. She got a bunch of clothes and some toys. As well as some art supplies so Mama can do art with her during the day while I am at work.

Aydan now has 8 teeth, 4 on the bottom and 4 up top. She is almost walking full time now and is supper fast. She is getting so big so fast and I just want to slow it down lol.

Its been busy around here these last few months. I started going back to school. So when I'm not at work or studying of being with my Aydan I am usually sleeping lol. I will post pics up this weekend sometime I promise.
