Doctor's visit

I went in for my 2-week checkup today. My fundal height is measuring right on 28 weeks, cervix is still nice and closed, and the heartbeat is in the 140's. But I still have this stupid vaginal discharge!!! So, we did some more cultures and we'll see what pops up. She thinks it may be from wearing a wet swimsuit and swimming so much on our trip. Very possible considering I spent 6 hours straight in the pool one day and almost as long in the ocean on other days.

Oh, and I didn't gain any weight in the past 2 weeks according to her chart, so she wants to make sure I'm eating okay, which I am eating a TON! I think it's because I had gained so much all at once on the trip. And I'm up 18 pounds total so it's a good weight gain this far.

I see the high-risk 2 weeks from today for my growth scan to see how much baby we've got cookin' in there and I also see OB again that week. Things are getting busy, but exciting!!! If only this infection would clear up...

  1. Wow, congrats on a great appointment! I've gotten infections from too much swimsuit wearing, so that could possibly be the ticket! I am sooooo jealous that you've only gained 18 pounds...and none in two weeks! I am packing them on daily it seems. I've heard (from friends) that moms of boys tend to gain more in pregnancy...so maybe Gil is a Girl!!!

  2. Hopefully the can get you something to clear up that mess down there - sounds like no fun at all.
    You're right - you probably gained weight on your trip which you would have lost had you not been pregnant, but since you are, you're just evening out.
    He/she is going to be here so soon!!!

Meet Our Little Miracle, Paisley Kate

The post I have been waiting 2 years to write is finally here and I can't really believe it. On Saturday, I woke up at 8:30 a.m. with BAD contractions. By the 2nd one, I knew I was in "real" labor. They were SO different than the braxton-hicks. I got out of bed and decided that I'd take a bath, until water ran down both legs. The pain after that got pretty unbearable immediately and I was having contractions every 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. So, I called Aaron at work to tell him it was "the big day". He decided I was kidding until I nearly leapt through the phone to wring his neck. :) We got to the hospital an hour later and I was dilated to a 4 and having very active contractions. They quickly got me moved to an L&D room. I got my epidural ( AMAZING - we'll talk about this in its own post soon) at a 6 and then my doctor broke my water. (Apparently at home, it had just leaked a pocket of fluid). After he broke my water, labor started picking up

The Resurrection

 So here we are.  It's now a blog graveyard.  The followers have long since moved on and infertility is something that I've somewhat put in the past (only considering I don't want any more kids).  So why am I here and writing again?  What's the purpose?   This was my safe place.  It was where I came when everything seemed much too hard and I needed to feel comfort.  I wanted to express myself in a venue that others would reassure me and even understand me.  I still love and have always loved this blog.  It guided me during some of the hardest years of my life, dealing with infertility and miscarriage. And you know... I guess it will help me again now.  Because life is freaking TOUGH.  You know the phrase "I've went through Hell and back"?  Yeah, I feel that in my soul now.  I could have a blowout in the middle lane of the highway during rush hour traffic, manage to pull over my car on the side and call for roadside assistance without my pulse increasing ev

I'm Going to Let You in on a Little Secret

My dear blog readers, Those of you who know me well know that I do not keep secrets. It's actually physically impossible for me to keep a secret. So, it's going to really surprise many of you to find out that I've been staying silent about something pretty big. So, without further ado, I'd like to introduce you to the little miracle that came into our lives 13 weeks ago: We wanted to keep it to ourselves for a while to make sure things went okay this time. It's been a very terrifying 13 weeks and we are just now starting to feel that things could actually go well. We feel incredibly blessed to be pregnant with this baby and we are so grateful for every minute. To my friends who are still battling infertility , I'm not even sure where to start. You've been there with me through it all. You've held my hand and given me a shoulder to cry on when times are tough. You always know the right things to say because you've been there before. And you pray and
