Baby Girl 27 weeks 6 days

Left foot

Just wanted to show you the cute little baby girl growing!!!

Me? A guest

I was so grateful to be asked by another fellow blogger to do an interview for her blog.  I want to say thank you to this blogger for asking me.  The fellow blogger is infertilemormonmommy her blog is a wonderful blog to read. 

go check out my interview here

Oh Baby!

Hubby and I went to see our little girl at the 28 week ultrasound...

she is healthy.
she is a week behind in her gestational age... but don't worry it is nothing to worry about because her stomach is right on time.
So she is just a peanut.
Her heart is beating healthy with all 4 chambers.
Her brain is perfect.
she weighs 2pounds and 4ounces.
She is currently head up she will have enough time to do the big move for the big day.
That explains why I feel hiccups near my ribs and kicks still down past my belly button.

and in 6 more weeks we go back for another ultrasound and start the non-stress test and that is when we will set up the appointment to have her.  that sounds so funny we will set the appointment for the day she will be born like oh you know we can't be late to this one we might just miss out.

but holy cow that is in 9 more weeks... and I'M SO EXCITED TO MEET HER AND LOVE ON HER!

Baby Names

Hubby and I are still debating about this little girls name...  So every once in awhile I go on the internet for the search of names.  But here are some names I know for sure we would never use but somebody somewhere did... are you ready...

Facebook

Yes, someone named their kid Facebook, and no, it wasn’t Mark Zuckerberg. An Egyptian man named his daughter Facebook to celebrate the social media site’s role in protests in Egypt against then-president Hosni Mubarak. Activists used the website to organize demonstrations that ultimately led to Mubarak’s exit. So even though the guy had a good reason behind the name choice, maybe he could’ve gone with something a little more low-key? This moniker is definitely newsfeed-worthy, but that’s not necessarily a good thing.

Like

And you thought it was going to end there. Nope. Perhaps inspired by baby girl Facebook, an Israeli couple named their daughter Like, after the Facebook button. The couple wanted a unique name and thought it was short and sweet. Like’s parents don’t think that she’ll be teased in school -- we’re not so sure about that. What’s next? A baby named “Comment” or “See Friendship”?

The journey of being pregnant after a loss

The journey of this pregnancy...

 (I'm not complaining about be pregnant I just want to remember that this is what  I went through with this little one)

The first trimester:
I was sick... not just occasionally sick.  I mean I had morning sickness everyday... I lost 10 pounds during the first trimester.  I was worried about miscarrying this little one.  Even though when we went to the Perinatolgist the first time and saw the Perfect Round Cell sack that they called a diamond pregnancy and looked perfectly healthy.  I was still worried.  I do remember getting to hear the babies heartbeat the first time and the little swish swish sound our little peanut was making.  It is one of the greatest sounds to hear.

The second trimester:
Is almost over?!  I can't believe that the 2nd trimester is almost over.  I still have morning sickness but not as much.  There is usually one day out of the week that I'm just nauseous and don't have any energy.  We got to do find out that we were having a girl and I cried when we found out we were having a girl.  I did prepare myself for a boy but it just didn't feel right and that is why last second before we went into the fetal studio I told hubby we were having a girl.  I am so excited to meet this little girl and hear her cry for the first time and everything that comes with having a baby.

I wanted to right about my emotional health this pregnancy...  The first trimester I was in shock we were going to be having another baby!  The second trimester has been good... but I'm now a little worried mommy.  I have been fighting this for awhile...  My fear is loosing this little girl also.  It is hard not to worry about it but it is there.  I love feeling her kick get the hiccups and do the little dances she is doing in my tummy.  I soak in every single one because it is truly a miracle that I get to feel this and create a bond with this little girl before she is here.  She is with me 24/7 I can't say here honey you take her for a moment so that I can get some sleep.  I love that I can talk to her and sing to her and know that she is just listening to my heartbeat when I'm silent.  Than this is when the fear kicks in that I may loose the chance again of seeing her breathe.  It comforts me that I have a doctor and also a Perinatologist.  I'm so excited that instead of just one ultrasound for this pregnancy I will have a total of three and the second one is coming up and we will get to see how our little girl is developing.  I'm excited that next month we will start going to the doctor appointments more and that we will be able to do non-stress tests for her.  I'm not a complete wreck worrying about this all the time.  I just think about it sometimes... it is just exactly as the doctor said the first appointment... The doctor told me this pregnancy will work out he asked if I knew it and I just said okay.  My doctor than said I understand your not going to feel safe until you see that first breath of air.  Which is very true and until that day I will be a worried mommy and than after that day I'm still going to be a worried mommy but for a good reason. 

Update

   I have found our little baby girls bedding set and I'm so happy that I did.  We were looking at one and I was about to settle on it.  It was just a pale pink bedding with no design.  But I thought I would just go take a peek at the clearance section at Target online and I found the one I have been dreaming about.  The best part is it has all the colors that I want as the accent colors on the wall.  It has the bright pink, the bright orange and greens.  Also another fabulous thing about it was 10 dollars less than the one we were just going to settle for.

Baby girl is kicking and growing.  We go to the doctors again this Wednesday and we will be setting up another ultrasound in the next two weeks.  It is crazy to think that our little one is going to be here in 2 months and a week.  11 more weeks!!!  We are so excited to meet her.  We are still debating about names but I think when we see her we will know her name and the big debate of the name will be over!  So for right now I'm letting my little 1 year old niece name her and I'm pretty sure little girls name will be YEAH.

Blessings!!!

Hubby and I are feeling very blessed in life right now!!!  We are going to be parents to another little girl and we couldn't be more thrilled!  We have been getting good news in the house hunt.  We put in an offer on a 5 bedroom 3 bath house!  We are now in the process of waiting... the house in no longer listed on the real estate website good news for us!!!

Tomorrow we go for our 20 week ultrasound with the Perinatologist  tomorrow.  My anxiety levels go up the night before doctors appointments.  I'm afraid I have to admit that we won't be able to hear the heartbeat of our little baby.  It is not until I hear the beating of the strong little heart that I'm comforted.  I guess the worrying has already begun for our little girl.  We are excited to be able to go see our little girl tomorrow and watch her as she wiggles and moves in my body.  I have also been feeling the little kicks of our little girl and her wiggling.  I love when I feel the little pop of a kick its a big comfort.

 My mom was diagnosed with cancer 5 years ago and has been curing it the natural way.  All of her children are amazed at the strength she has.  My mom has been doing amazing things with the help of nature.  We have watched tumors come and than shrink.  I'm pretty sure it is my moms strength and her faith that makes the tumors just want to disappear.  Well last week my sister went to the Oncologist with her.  It was a new Oncologist that my mom hasn't been to before.  My mom explained that she is curing it the natural way with no chemo and radiation.  The Oncologist explained that the chemo my mom would have for her cancer is different.  There is an antibiotic type drug that they use along with chemo and can be used without the chemo.  Basically the antibiotic type drug attaches to the cancer cells to get rid of them.  My mom has agreed to do the treatments without the chemo and if she needs to have chemo when all the treatments are done she will consider it.  We are feeling so blessed to have this doctor come into my moms life and tell her that he can help and not just give up on her because she wants to treat it naturally.  My mom definitely has guardian angels watching over her and will be with her to comfort her tomorrow as she goes in for her first treatment.  I am asking that your prayers will be with her as she takes on this new step in treatment.

IT'S A .....

Hubby and I we were going to wait for the 20 week ultrasound.  We thought our doctor would have had it earlier than the 26 of October.  Hubby asked if we could go up to the fetal studio on Friday to find out.  I mean we are a little curious about what we are having.  I said yes!  I dropped Hubby off at school went home and got on the website for the Fetal Studio.  There was a coupon for gender determination but it had to be used on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or a Thursday.  Hubby is really busy with school on Thursday.  I called Hubby 2 minutes before his last class to ask him if we could go after school and explained the coupon.  Hubby said yes!  So I called Fetal Studio to set up the appointment.  We went up to mall in Sandy we had an hour to use before our appointment.  I was hungry so we ate and while I was eating I hoped that the baby wouldn't fall asleep.  While we were eating I asked Hubby what we thought we were going to have he said Boy I said Girl.  We walked around the Hallmark store saw cute socks for little baby boys and girls.  6:00 came we went to the studio I had to fill out a sheet.  Than before I knew it I was on a bed looking at a T.V. and saw the first images of our little baby.  I started to cry our baby is really in my belly.  We looked at the baby looked at the face than this baby is kind of tilted.  We than saw our baby start moving all four limbs at once it was intense my baby is already trying to break free.  Than I heard him say "you got what you wished for a little girl" I was in shock I had him repeat it.  This time he said "yep little girl, no boy thing."  We watched as our little girl opened and closed her mouth, kicked her legs, and moved her arms.  She was moving like crazy and we were having a hard time counting all her fingers and toes she has them all.  We are so happy to be having another little girl.

Our little "Turnip"

I have been starting to get my energy back slowly...  I still have some days where morning sickness likes to come out and hang out with me.  I can't believe that we are 17 weeks along.  It just seems like time is going by so fast and at the same time not fast enough.  We are going to the doctors next Wednesday and hopefully we will be able to set up the 20 week ultrasound for the next week that would be super nice.  Hubby and I are both curious to know what we will be having a little girl or a little boy.  But most of all we just want a healthy baby and that is all we really are hoping for.

My "mini" Breakdown

I had the breakdown of having to go buy some new maternity pants.  On Friday Hubby and I were getting ready to go cheer on the BYU Cougars Football team.  I was getting ready and I was about to button my pants up when I realized there was no hope in the button reaching across my tummy to the button loop.  It had only been a week since I last worn these jeans and they were fitting me okay with the elastic band wrapped around a week ago.  But on Friday there was no chance of the rubber band even helping me.  Well it probably could of worked but my emotions were not letting me think clearly.  I went over to my hubby and asked if we could go shopping for a pair of maternity jeans because there was no way I could sit on the bleachers for 3+ hours worrying about keeping my pants up.  I was so happy when I found a pair of pants in petite and the size I needed and that was the only pair they had and they fit perfectly.  So after shopping, having dinner out with the hubs, bowling before the football game, and than the game and winning the game.  We had a wonderful date night after my "mini" breakdown.  I asked hubby while we were eating how bad my breakdown was and he said "it wasn't that bad." so that is why this is just a mini breakdown.  I guess I will have the bigger breakdown when my shirts stop fitting me correctly.

Our Little Apple

WEEK 15

 

I didn't post about my first trimester like I thought I was going to do... long story short.  I have spent my time sleeping and hanging out with my friend the toilet.  I have had the glorious morning sickness.  I am starting to get more energy which is nice.  I love being able to get up from sleeping and not feel like I haven't slept a couple of days.

 I have been starting to crave foods.  I love salads, apples, and tomato sandwiches.  

FUN THINGS ABOUT HOW OUR BABY IS DEVELOPING:
Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but she is forming taste buds. Finally, if you have an ultrasound this week, you may be able to find out whether your baby's a boy or a girl! (Don't be too disappointed if it remains a mystery, though. Nailing down your baby's sex depends on the clarity of the picture and on your baby's position. He or she may be modestly curled up or turned in such a way as to "hide the goods.") (source)

The First Appointment

My first appointment with the Perinatologist was on July 19...

I'm not as far along as I expected... I think we found out we were pregnant when we were only two or three weeks along CRAZY!!!

They did a ultrasound and guess what I have a tipped uterus which I think I knew that from my 2 previous pregnancies.  So they had to do the other one...  and when we were expecting to see a little peanut we saw no peanut but a little yolk sack yep that is right we got to see our little baby before it is a peanut.  The Perinatologist and the nurse said that they could see the heart flicker.  We couldn't.  The good news Herm looks like a healthy pregnancy the Dr. said something about it being a diamond pregnancy because Herm is so perfectly round.  So in another couple weeks my hubby and I will be doing another ultrasound to see the peanut.

When it comes time for the 20th week ultrasound it will be up to my doctor if he sends me to the Perinatologist or someone at his office.  The doctor told us when we would be seeing her more frequently around the 35th week.  I will start going to her and my other doctor weekly.  The Perinatologist will be running the stress test on Herm.  At 37 weeks we can make the decision to do a test to see if Herm's lungs are fully developed if they are they will induce me the next day.  They also said that if I was feeling good I could go up to 39 weeks and they would induce me a week early.  We will see when the time comes what will happen.  Mind you that I had my stillborn at 38 weeks so I don't think I will want to go past 38 weeks.

They said they just saw one yolk sac and one flicker of a heartbeat YEPEE!!! I HAVE A BABY GROWING IN ME!!!

and the followup with our regular doctor:

Before the First Visit

I'm so nervous... about the doctors appointment on Tuesday.  I am still kind of in shock that I'm pregnant.  We have been trying for 6+ months and I can't believe that we finally are pregnant.  I don't know what to expect with the Perinatologist visit.  I know that my normal Dr. were going to call him Dr. W. how the visits go.  I just don't know how it is going to go with the Perinatologist. What I'm hoping is that they will do an ultrasound and that we will see a little peanut and a heartbeat.  I am also hoping that we will have a healthy pregnancy.  I had my first miscarriage in the month of July so my mind is worried about seeing it happen all over again.  I'm staying positive but my mind does wander to the dreadful day when I found out that we were pregnant and than less than a week later I went through a miscarriage.  I have been starving and extremely tired so I think that is a good sign with the pregnancy.  I just wanted to write down my thoughts about going to the Perinatologist because I don't want it going around and around in my head and getting me all stressed out.

*There will be another post at noon today

Our Little Poppy Seed

WEEK 4:

(July 10-17)

I think for right now my weeks are changing on Saturdays but I won't really be sure until the 19th of July.  I still don't know what really to expect at the Perinatologist doctors appointment.  Hubs and I are getting quite excited about the visit.  We are hoping that this visit we get to see our little lentil on the ultrasound machine and see the heart beat.  We are also wondering if there is a possibility I could be pregnant with twins.  If we are that is great!  If we are only pregnant with one baby that is also great!  We are just so excited to be pregnant.  You know how I said this pregnancy will be x2 the doctors visits.  Well we have the Perinatologist on Tuesday and on Wednesday we have a followup appointment with our normal Dr.  The craziness of two doctors has already started.

Pregnancy Symptoms I have this week:

• Frequent trips to the bathroom
• Food Cravings- I wake up starving I have a bag of saltine crackers right to the side of my bed.
• Heartburn
• Sleeping...
• and the new one Nausea is kicking in... I have yet to throw up just the butterflies are in my tummy.

So to look forward to this week:

• The Perinatologist Visit
• Dr. W's visit.

we are all quite excited!!!

The baby this week is as big as a poppy seed.  As you could tell by the blog title.

What is helping the baby live right now:
Also present now are the amniotic sac, which will house your baby; the amniotic fluid, which will cushion her as she grows; and the yolk sac, which produces your baby's red blood cells and helps deliver nutrients to her until the placenta has developed and is ready to take over this duty.

Our Little Blastocyst

WEEK 3:
(July 3-10 )

I think I'm on week 5 but not sure yet on July 19 we will actually know how far along I really am.  I am so excited/nervous about this  Perinatologist appointment I don't know what to expect.  Everyone that I have told so far about me being pregnant thinks that I could be pregnant with twins because of how dark the lines came out.  I wouldn't really mind twins... but I don't want to get my hopes up.  For now I'm just thinking that we are having one and if the Perinatologist says different we will be overjoyed.

My baby  is a Blastocyst: a clump of cells multiplying to become a baby. 

I have some new pregnancy symptoms this week they include: (*week 3)

• Frequent trips to the bathroom
• Food Cravings- I wake up starving I have a bag of saltine crackers right to the side of my bed.
• Heartburn
• Sleeping... but usually after my normal 8 hours of sleep I wake up and want to go eat and have energy... than around the evening before I go into work I take a nap that usually last around 1 to 3 hours.  On my weekends that is a completely different story if I get out of bed I'm lucky!

This week I don't have a doctors appointment and I'm just getting anxious for the next doctors appointments.

*we found out on July 19 that we were around 5 weeks 2 days

Thoughts on how this is going to go...

My hubby and I found out on July 7, 2011 that we are expecting a baby.

This is a blog about my journey throughout this pregnancy.

I'm going to include in this blog weekly updates, pictures, symptoms of pregnancy, my feelings, and doctor visits(x2).

I have two doctors for this pregnancy because I'm considered to have High Risk Pregnancy's.

I had a miscarriage in July 2009,

I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks in August of 2010.

I have always heard that the Third Time is a Charm so here it goes...  

Mark your calendar!

SURPRISE!!!

 

I have very exciting news!!! We found out in July and have been keeping it a secret up until now.  We wanted to wait until it was safe to announce the good news.  Were pregnant!!!  We found out on July 7 and on July 8 I was already seeing my doctor.  I had the fun fancy things of every prenatal visit.

Pregnancy Symptoms as of July 8, 2011 and what I was experiencing through June 2011:

• Heartburn
• Sleeping a lot longer than the hubs

Poor Hubs Pregnancy Symptoms as of July 9, 2011:

• morning sickness

Why Hubs has pregnancy symptoms also:

THIS ARTICLE is about why do some men experience pregnancy such as vomiting and nausea when their wives are pregnant?
Short Answer: When pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, weight gain, mood swings and bloating occur in men, the condition is called couvade, or sympathetic pregnancy.

Poor Poor Hubs has the sympathetic pregnancy.  His morning sickness has started on July 9 mine however hasn't come out to play yet.  Which I am happy about the longer I can keep eating and getting fluid is for the better.  Isn't it a little funny that two days after we found out that we were preggers he is already getting the morning sickness. 

Taking the pregnancy test:
I got to share this story because I want to remember everything about this little baby that I'm growing.  On July 2 my period was suppose to start.. I waited until July 7 at midnight to buy the pregnancy test.  On July 6 we were hanging out with our friends and they just barely adopted their little girl.  My friend is so sweet and was letting me hold her little girl and feed her.  I got the impression this is going to be me soon.  After our friends left I went to hubby and said lets go to Wal-Mart to get a pregnancy test.  We jumped in the car and I went into the store.  Everyone and their dog decided to go shopping for the month.  I grabbed the test and waited in line for over 10 minutes talk about nerve racking.  When I FINALLY got to the cashier it was a guy and he asked wish you well or not?  I said wish us well.  (we have been trying for over 6 months)  We got home... I asked hubby if we should wait until we wake up or could I do it now.  Let's just say that pregnancy test was burning a hole through my hand.  Within the minute after I took it we knew.  I had to call for hubby to come to the bathroom because I couldn't believe my eyes.  After hubby got into the bathroom the line was as dark as the test line.  WERE PREGNANT!!! I cried I was so happy.

First Doctors appointment:
I sent a picture of the stick to my sister via text messaging right when I took it. When my sister woke up she saw the happy news.  My sister texted me saying what a wonderful gift for my nieces (her daughter turned 1 on the 7th) birthday!  My sister invited me to go along to her daughters doctors appointment we have the same family doctor.  My doctor asked how I was doing and I said I took a pregnancy test this morning and it was positive.  My doctor than had me go to set up an appointment with the Perinatologist.  I than set up an appointment to see my doctor the next day.  I got a phone call later that day and I had an appointment with the Perinatologist on July 19.  On July 8 we went to the doctors and I'm right along schedule.  Everyone that has seen the pregnancy test lines have said either your further along than you expect or your having twins.  The doctor told me this pregnancy will work out he asked if I knew it and I just said okay.  My doctor than said I understand your not going to feel safe until you see that first breath of air.  Which is very true.  Well the doctor says I'm right on schedule the baby should be a February/March baby.  I don't know yet if I'm having twins.  Because when I wrote this it was still July 8.  I guess we will find out on July 19 when they do a bigger evaluation of this pregnancy.

My baby is now a size of a poppy seed... but by the time I tell you it will be big as a Lemon.

Nicknames for the baby already:
Herm (my sister is calling my tummy Herm because it can be a girl or a boy)

My feelings:
I am overjoyed with happiness.
I got to take this pregnancy one step at a time.

I am writing every week of my pregnancy and what symptoms I have so expect to see a couple of posts for the next couple of days about week 4ish  through week 14ish. (they are scheduled in advance so you will get to see the feelings of what I'm feeling that week)

at 4 weeks

at 14 weeks

(I had to keep this secret for 10 whole weeks it was hard and I was so excited to share the news that is why I made this blog when we found out and all the pictures of hopes and dreams to own for babies was me doing a little dreaming)

MIA

Sorry I have been not blogging so much lately.  Life is just a little crazy right now.

Hopes

I'm going to do a series of hopes, wishes, and dreams each week.  Mondays will be my hope days, Wednesday will be wishes day, and Friday will be dream days.

Hopes to be one day:

• I hope to be a mommy one day
• I hope that I can make this blog a positive one

Well here goes the start of writing...

We have been trying for 3+ months to become pregnant.  I have only ever wanted to be a mommy.  My hubby asks me what I want to do for a living "I want to be a mommy" that is my dream job.  I want the jobs that come with being a mom.

• changing bums
• making sure they are safe
• cuddle time
• teaching them how to walk and talk
• potty training
• helping them with school work

all the things that moms do that is what I want to do for a living.

The beginning of the Journey

I'm excited to tell you all that hubs and I are trying again for a baby again!!! We have been trying for awhile but it is so nice to let people know that we are trying!!!

I want to post my hopes, my dreams, and my wishes throughout this blog so when I see something really cute for a baby or baby rooms don't mind me posting pictures of them up here. I believe that if you have positive thoughts that everything will work out in the end.

25 things you didn't know about me!!!

1. I love to take pictures even though I don't carry around my camera everywhere I go.

Hi... I'm New Here

Hello bloggers...

I hope that this blog will be a blog that you will enjoy reading and get to know me a little bit more.  I just want to share the frustrations of getting pregnant.  Before you read more I'm not infertile so this is not an infertile blog.  I just have not been able to get pregnant as easily as I did with my last two pregnancy's.  My first pregnancy I had a miscarriage around 5 weeks we found out the week before I had the miscarriage.  My second pregnancy was the heart breaker I had a stillborn daughter around 38 weeks.  My hubby and I have been trying to get pregnant for a couple months now.  I just want to make this blog a positive blog and share my dreams of becoming a mommy.

I know you noticed my blogs website stepatatime-pregnancy.blogspot.com
this is for when I do end up getting pregnant and I can share my story of my pregnancy with everyone.
