2nd trimester!!!

Baby Deuce and I are now in our 2nd trimester!!!  Which seems impossible considering how incredibly looooooong my 1st trimester seemed to last with Paisley.  It was like I could hear every single clock in the nearest 100 miles ticking second by second.  Days seemed to last 3 times as long as they do now.

Partly, this makes me happy because I'm calm and relaxed and just enjoying my pregnancy.  But then there is a huge part of me that adores being pregnant and I know this is the last time.  So, I don't want to rush it at all.   I look forward to the point when I can feel the baby move (which didn't happen until 22 weeks with P, so I may still have a while).

My NT scan went great last week and they called me today to tell me that my bloodwork was perfect.  I had to call them back to get exact numbers because I'm obsessive about these kind of things!  I go back at the end of the month for my 2nd set of bloodwork and then March 3rd for my anatomy scan!!!

I went into this pregnancy weighing slightly less than I did when I got pregnant with Paisley, but I've only gained 3 pounds in the 1st trimester which I'm thankful for.  I gained 34 with her and I'd love if I could be a little closer to the 25 mark when I have this one.  Bad thing is that I have August heat to contend with again which inevitably leads to August swelling....

We finally started weekly pregnancy photos last week so I'll post my new one once we take it today.  I had a TON of early bloating so I seemed to "show" a lot sooner but that seemed to disappear a week or two ago and now I'm looking similar to my last pregnancy at this point.   My PA workplace still doesn't know I'm pregnant, but I'm planning on telling them this week.  Even with my labcoat and scrubs on, it's going to become pretty obvious 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 ...

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 ...

Blog Title

I've been thinking about changing the name of our blog. But after much thought, I've decided to leave it the same. Our stork really isn't great with directions. Sure, we're pregnant now and it appears that our journey really is leading us to a baby. But it's definitely not been the quickest, easiest path. We took many wrong turns, hit several dead ends, and ended up on detours for way too long. There's been too many tears cried and my heart has been broken time and time again. It's been a long, hard road to get here and the stupid stork assigned to us put us through a load of crap to get to this point. I'm certainly thankful for the road we're on now, don't get me wrong. I'd do all of it 30 times again if I could be where I am now. (Money and biological clock allowing...) But the title should stay the same. 2 years have passed, 3 surgeries, 1 hospitalization, my miscarriage, hundreds of doctor's visits, thousands of dollars s...
