Tyson and Josie painting my toes because I haven't been able to reach them comfortably for a few weeks. I love these kiddos!!!

20 wk belly

20 weeks u/s

20 weeks u/s Silly little girl was all balled up and didn't want to give us good measurements. She is already as stubborn as her big sister. We had to reschedule to get a better view of her spine, face, and heart. What we did see looked perfect though. And she is still a girl! My cervix was measuring perfect and my placenta has moved to the front. The funny thing is that I could almost tell when it moved because I felt less movement in the middle and more on the top and sides of my tummy. 20 weeks appt BP 122/54 Fundus measuring at 20, which I have been worried about because I lost 3 more lbs. Babies HR 155 Told MW about my cramping and BHC, which I thought were normal, apparently not normal this early. Discussed possible reasons and sent a urine culture. Discussed my feelings on wanting a natural birth. Good news- the hospital I am delivering at does have natural birthing rooms with a tub! I told her a I was looking into hypnobabies and she said that this is an awesome way to deliver.

Our baby is a...

Before the u/s we ate at macaroni grill where my mom and Scott me up with us. Just before the u/s. When we told my dad and Karen The outfits the kids picked out for our little girl!

4 days until gender ultrasound!!!!!! I am so excited!!! The kids and my family all think and want a girl. Like so intense that both of my parents call my belly a she. It will be interesting to see what we are having.

Happy 6th Birthday Josie!!! I love my little lady bug and cannot believe she is six! 15 weeks yesterday!!! Baby is the size of an orange. I had a dream last night that the baby was a red headed little boy! I have always wanted a red head. The headaches have picked up and I seem to have one all of the time, just the severity changes. Maybe I need a chiropractic adjustment (oooo ooooo AND a massage). Still waiting to have more energy and for the nausea to go away, and I get dizzy sometimes. I really need to get going on the nursery. I wish I had the energy. I need to pick up more storage tubs and boxes so I can organize all of my office and craft things on shelves the unfinished room. Haven't decided if I want to sell my office furniture or store it. I might feel better if I just get rid of it.

Happy due date angel baby!

Today was my angel baby's EDD. It's been an ok day. I went shopping for Josie's bday, 5/29, and got stuck in every baby section. I am so happy to have this baby but I couldn't help but think how life would be if I had a baby now. Every time I visibly saw the date my stomach turned. 5/22... the day my baby was estimated to arrive. Honestly, I think that 10/24 will be more difficult. That was the day my pregnancy was ended by D&E. It does give me hope that we believe the baby inside of me now is the baby that went back into God's arms before mine and is now growing inside of me again.
