15 weeks

I've been slacking. Im 15 weeks and some days, and this little one is a mover! I have been feeling movement since 13 weeks, and I feel this little one rolling around a few times a day now.

This pregnancy has been so different then Judah. A lot less stressful, and going by super fast I've also felt a lot better physically this time. We had our 14 week appt and an email consult with the maternal fetal medicine specialist and there is a few things we will do differently this time. With Judah I took low dose aspirin up until I delivered and they want me to stop at 36 weeks this time. Also they suggested no stress tests starting at 32 weeks. I may just start them around 38 weeks if my midwife is okay with it. I didn't have them with Judah until I was overdue, except for the time I was having contraction at 33 weeks. So I don't see why I need them so early this time.

We find out if this little one is a boy or girl on May 9th (hopefully!). We have a girls name picked out, but are not positive on a boys name. It was the opposite with Judah, we knew he would be Judah and didn't have a girls name picked out for a long time. Maybe that means we are have a girl? Either way we will be thrilled!

Judah has been growing so much, and talking so much more in the past week. He is such a joy and I know adding another child is just going to expand our joy even more! We are blessed!

7 weeks

This past week Judah and I have been really sick. Sinus pressure, coughing, runny noses...thankfully it's pretty much gone, just some left over coughing and drainage. I have also been feeling nauseas here and there and quite strong food aversions.

Not to mention I look very pregnant already! My belly is really pooching out there, and I know most of it is Bloating but gee, I feel huge! my midwife appt. is next week and I am super excited.

I have felt quite a bit different emotionally this pregnancy. I am having a hard time becoming attached to this little one. I know I am really busy with Judah, so that kind of distracts me. I am not nervous or scared that we will loose the baby, so I know that's not it. I know it ones it comes with time, and I know when I hear the heartbeat it will seem much more real to me. Only a few more weeks till I can hear it on my doppler so that's exciting!

Well its a beautiful day and I am going to get out there and enjoy it with my baby boy!

Here we go again!

Lance and I are so excited to announce that sometime in October there will be a new little one joining our family! This is such a blessing, and we can't wait to meet him/her! I decided to keep a blog with this little one as I did with Judah. This pregnancy feels a lot different because I feel a lot more relaxed. With Judah we were so nervous because of our previous loss. But Judah keeps me so busy I don't have time to worry!

My first appt is Feb 25th and I'll be around 8 weeks. I can't wait to see my midwife and talk about having my VBAC! We considered waiting to tell everyone, but we didn't wait with either of our other little ones, and we feel this one deserves all the excitement and love the other two got.



I am still nursing Judah and thankfully he has stopped wanting to nurse as much and is even sleeping better at night for us. I will continue to nurse him until he self weans, which they say can happen in the 2nd trimester because of the change in the milk.



Please be praying for our growing family, and especially the new little one. Thank you Jesus!
