Baby you don't know what it's like to love somebody the way I love you

Just like that, twenty-two weeks rolls around.  Blessed.  That's how I continuously feel throughout this whole pregnancy.  I wouldn't trade the horrible first three months for anything in the world.  In fact, I can't wait to do it again. haha :)

Finally went in for my last appointment with the specialist, where we did final measurements and got to see a little bit of 3D Baby W*
The first matter in question was the gender.  Turns out... drum rollllllll.... just kidding, I already said on FB and IG that it's indeed a boy!  I'm so excited.  I've always wanted a boy, especially as the first born. There were a few minutes after first learning of the gender, though, that I got sad and wished for a little girl, too, but man!  Boys are just fun little adventures. And I'll have someone to keep a close eye when/if the girl finally comes later on. I think that's a great deal!
So they did some measurements, including the cervical one due to the surgery I had before and the risks that follow, but so far everything looks great and I "graduated" back to a regular OB full time and I'm technically no longer considered "high risk" for this pregnancy. HOORAY!!!!  The only bad part about that is that Dr. P does NOT have as cool/hi-tech equipment as Dr. C, but I'll settle in exchange for those great news!
Baby W* likes to keep his cute little hands near his face.  I noticed that's a trend with him any time we try to peek.  He keeps one covering his eyes, and the other near his mouth.  He was also playing with the chord and had it right in front of his face for the majority of the appointment, so it caused some images to be really blurry because the UC was in the way, but that's okay!  He's such a ham already.  You know what he wasn't shy about though?  Showing us his parts.  I think he wanted to make sure I had no doubt left.. probably more like he wanted to make sure my MAMA BEAR didn't, because I think she and Papa Bear still held out hope for a girl. haha! But yup, he had his legs spread wide open for us to peek several times!
The best part is that since he's still deployed, I had LAW on skype, and even if he wasn't able to see everything as clearly as I was seeing it, the tech was amazing enough to give me a DVD of the appointment to send to him.  So sweet.  LAW also got to hear the heart beat for the first time ever.  She measured it three times during our appt.  The first one was 156 BPM, then 148, then 144 or so.  I think maybe he was dozing off towards the end there.

I finally went back to physical therapy (knees) this week, and they hadn't seen me since Dec 14th, so the first thing I was told was "woah! there he is!"  I think that means my bump is officially noticeable. haha =]

Nothing else has been going on, he still kicks and punches on a pretty regular schedule, and it's amazing to feel him/see the movements taking place.  I'm excited to continue to watch him grow these next 18 weeks and finally meet him at the end of May! Meanwhile, I'm really looking forward to getting back to AZ and possibly TN for baby showers courtesy of my Mama Bear and my Memphis MIL! Hopefully if we can make it out to TN we can go see LAW's mom and grandparents in Kodak, so long as LAW drives ;)

I'll leave you with some pictures to hold you (me) over until next time.

22 weeks!

2013 and its hiccups...

Wow, so much to write, so little motivation. haha!

I should've updated right around New Year's Day, but then I received a phone call that totally changed my plans for the next (?) weeks.

I hit nineteen weeks that Monday - not much to update on that week.  This pregnancy has gotten a lot easier these last few weeks, so it's only logical that I'd get bad news of our house instead!  I still can't believe someone broke into our place and stole LAW's car... Like he said, who steals a Versa?!?!  At least they didn't touch his '67 Mustang.  I know that would've broken his heart.  They stole his handgun, as well, and that just makes me upset.  People like that don't need any more weapons laying around.  I get to go home today and assess the damage, including trying to figure out what all is missing/stolen - if it wasn't for the doctor appointments that I already pushed back a couple of weeks, I would have stayed in Arizona a whole lot longer.  Bummer!

I left Memphis on the 7th (Week 20, HALF WAY POINT!!!) and went back to my parents' in AZ for another week.  It's always nice being there, as much as I hate the State.  I love being around my family and close friends.  On that note, to everyone who made time to see me while I was there, love you guys!  Thanks for being great!

Baby W* has been moving so incredibly much these last few weeks.  I find myself starring at my belly for hours at a time.  He's mostly active in the morning and at night, around the same time I get nausea if I do at all.  I definitely find myself needing to eat every four hours still, but I can only eat small portions at a time.  Still, whatever keeps the nausea away will work for me!  I also felt Baby W* hiccup'ing at least once already, but it was very quick. I kept getting what felt like spasms in my belly.. turns out, that's what it was. It was really funny.  He either loves or hates daddy's voice, too, because I put on some songs on that I have on my phone and placed it on my belly for Baby to hear.  He kept kicking and punching where ever I placed the phone.  I think he was rocking out.  I hope Baby has daddy's voice and not mine. haha

Between weeks 20 and 21 is when I finally saw a real belly pop out.  I can no longer say it looks like I drank too much.. haha :)

I have a doctor's appointment with my OB on the 17th, and my 3D ultrasound on the 22nd, so hopefully Baby W* is still a "he" and we can confirm all those small details so I can get around to ordering his bedding and decorating the nursery.


I'm not sure if I'll be able to update next week, I really hope I do, but with all the anxiety surrounding the break-in right now, I'm trying to take things in as slowly as possible.

Thanks to everyone who is keeping up with Baby W* and has called/texted/emailed to check on Baby's progress when they don't see many news on my end.  We love you all and can't wait to show Baby how many amazing people will be surrounding him as he grows up. xox



Week 19










             
Week 20











Week 21


My sister wanted to see pictures of the bare belly.. so here's two I took this morning.




Side profile







Until next time ♥




Due Date: last week of May 2013

How far along? 21 weeks - 19 weeks to go!

Symptoms: I still get nausea in the mornings and at night, but it isn't every day any more, which is great.  The belly keeps growing, there's ligament stretching still going on (ouch!), etc!

This week, Baby is the size of: i think as long as a carrot. yikes that's long!

Total weight gain: I really have no idea.  I'll know tomorrow. Maybe I'll update that on here. haha

Gender: still 90 something percent it's a boy, will have confirmation by the 22nd at the latest! =]

Food cravings: none lately, mama bear did an excellent job at fulfilling all my cravings while I was home with her!

Anything making you queasy or sick: still don't want scrambled eggs. barf.

Maternity clothes? nope, just leggings and sweaters right now

Sleep: can't sleep on my back anymore, and sometimes Baby W* wakes me up from the kicks and punches. haha

Movement: more than I thought he'd be moving, that's for sure.

Stretch marks? nothing new yet

Wedding rings on or off? on

Swelling? Nope

Belly Button in or out? in

Labor Signs: definitely not.

Happy or Moody most of the time: I get really moody if I'm hungry, and it happens in seconds. haha

Best moment this week: when Baby W* reacted to LAW's voice in the songs I was playing for him

What I miss: LAW

Looking forward to: 3D pictures on the 22nd, LAW coming home this Spring, Baby Shower in AZ on the 23rd or 24th of March (still deciding..) =]

better late than never!


oh hey, week 18, where did you creep up from??

Actually, that's a total lie.  The fact that I haven't updated weekly since week fifteen has been hard on me!  I wanted to update on Dec. 10th SOOO BADDDD but I couldn't because I didn't know how to keep information secret! haha! So I waited.. and then drove to Arizona to see my mama bear and papa bear and it turns out my brother turned off their internet, so I couldn't update there either. Also explains why my mama bear hasn't been FB chatting with me as much lately.  Boo on having their internet turned off!! :P


OK so let me back up to Week Sixteen.  W16 was oh so good to me.  It was the first week I graduated from actually getting sick, to only dry heaving, and only about three times that week.  It was glorious.  I thought I was in heaven.  I could eat without getting sick, and I could fall asleep without any trash can by my bedside.  I felt normal again!!  Yes, glorious.

I also had my long-awaited next OB appointment.  I had a really hard time falling asleep the night before! So instead, I googled ways to wake up Baby W* so we could try and see what's in between those little legs.  I drank a lot of water from the moment I woke up to try and fill my bladder up, I drank a whole big glass of OJ twenty minutes before my appointment, I even ate plain chocolate M&Ms - I don't like plain chocolate, but I read the sugar rush helped... so I ate them. haha.  I jogged from the car to the office building.  I jiggled my belly a few times... you know.. the usual crazy stuff crazy mama-to-be's do - or maybe just me.

I got to my appointment and asked the lady at the front to be put in the room with the little machine in case the doc had time to check the gender.  She said it was too early and even though I minded my Ps and Qs, and asked nicely to just do it juuuuusssstttt innnnn caaaaaasssseeeee, she didn't do it.  Rude, raining on my parade and I haven't even left the waiting room yet.
Finally got taken back to the room, and was asked to empty my bladder.  Dang it!  The odds were definitely NOT in my favor (hey, what book is that from?? and if you're thinking movie, you need to read more!)
That's okay.. the tech finally found the heartbeat this time around.. after about five minutes of searching.  Healthy 150 BPM works for me!  Doc came in, went over my test results from previous blood work.  Apparently I never became immune to some sort of sickness and I will need to get a shot as soon as Baby W* pops out.  I guess after labor, what's a shot, right??? :(
LAW was on call with me waiting to see if we could find out the sex together.  He set an alarm and everything!  (It was supposed to be his bedtime since he works nights which are my noons/afternoons). I finally asked doc if we could try to see if we could find out the gender.  

"I know it's only 16 weeks, but I read that was enough, and LAW is deployed but he's up and ready to skype just in case this works!"
So he checked to see that the room with the machine was available, and it was, and we went in to check things out.  He started it up, saying, "But I'm not going to promise you anything, it's still - WOAH there it is!"
[In my head: What?  What "it" is where?!  I don't see anythinggggg. I don't understandddddd.]
"Well, she's either flipping you off, or that's his junk!"
*Insert blank stare here* Sooo.. is she flipping me off? Or is that his junk??  Hey, I don't know!
"I wouldn't doubt it's a boy, but I'll leave some room for question in case she's just flipping you off"

So there it was.  He's pretty sure that Baby W* is a boy. Unless she is cursing at me already, in which case she will be grounded until she's 35. Okay, 25.

I took a picture, sent it to LAW, and tried to explain what I don't even understand.  It looks like a 3 to me. That's the only reason I know that's what it's showing.

I immediately got home, finished the gender announcement cards I had premade, and sent them out to my immediate family as well as LAW's, and sent the rest of the family/friends ones a few days later (I wanted to give our immediate family a chance to find out first!)  Hopefully boy doesn't turn out to be girl after already announcing it, but either way will be great with me!
We will 100% confirm on my next appointment with a different doc who did the DS testing a few weeks ago - by the way, finally got all the results.  Baby W* has less than 1 in 10k probabilities of DS, and 1 in 2500 of spina bifida.  They said those are great numbers.  I'm thankful Baby W* is developing well!

Those are kinda the highlights for that week... I had a great time attending the Guard's Christmas party (great job putting it together, DM!) and hanging out with Baby Michael, his mommy MM and daddy DM. I was logically getting wasted on iced tea and drove them home so they could enjoy their rated R drinks.  Even Baby Michael was milk wasted by the end of the night.  It was also my first time driving in the snow (and at night!) but I think I did great.

I drove to Vegas on Saturday, saw an old friend from Jr High and High School, and then finished out the drive to AZ that Sunday.  Man, I was pooped when I finally got there!  Monday and Tuesday were super slow, and it helped me get settled and rest after that weekend, but starting on Wednesday, I had breakfast, lunch, and dinner with at least one person per day, not including the other early dinner I was already eating with my parents! hahaha.  I'm a fatty.  Huge thank you's to my mama bear for making every dish on my wish list while I was home, even tamales.  She's definitely a trooper.  LAW, you missed out sooooo bad! Sorry babe :(

I got to meet Baby Sofia while I was there, saw my friend JL's baby bump (she's due in Feb), found out a very good friend is expecting after much adversity (YAY!), and also got to meet Baby Ava.  So many babies right now!!!

There wasn't much going on as far as Baby W* goes, except most family/friends got our Christmas card in the mail along with the gender announcement, and some couldn't scratch it off because I failed and didn't layer enough paint on parts of the paper (SORRY! I was too excited and didn't want to wait any more for paint to dry!!!), a minor hiccup in the getting nausea/sick department, and the last day of Week 17 I finally saw a legit baby bump.  Nothing to brag about, but I can see it now for sure. Even when I don't have a belly full of pee!

That takes me to Week 18 - current week.  It started with Christmas Eve, and mannnn if there is one thing I look forward to during the Holidays, it's my mom's green turkey.  Some of you are lucky to know what I'm talking about and will have a hard time arguing when I say it is THE best turkey in the whole wide world. My mouth waters when I think of it on any given day and I have no problem admitting it.  They make it every year for Christmas Eve dinner and again for New Year's Eve dinner, and in my opinion, two times a year is just NOT enough.

I thought I was getting some sort of rash on my belly on Monday, because I had really tiny red bumps everywhere and I was super itchy.  I really think it's just from the stretching of the skin, but I could be wrong.  I never recovered from my allergy reaction to minocycline and doxycycline - so much for acne meds.. instead I got vertigo from one and itchy legs/knees from the other (mild eczema is my guess). Still, it had been contained specifically on my knees and legs, so I don't know if the pregnancy is just making it worse or what.
BUT here is the coolest part... Monday night, during Mass celebrating Jesus' birthday, I felt Baby W* move.  I wasn't sure if that's what I was feeling, because it was brief and only happend a few times that I could notice, so I didn't tell mama bear or papa bear.  In hindsight I guess I should've!  But LAW was the first to know so that's special enough.

Yesterday should have been great, being Christmas and all, but I was silly and opted to save a couple hundred bucks in exchange of traveling on Christmas.. I thought it was smart, since my parents do our celebration Christmas Eve, and I wasn't going to make it to Memphis for Christmas morning anyway, but it ended up biting me in the butt with all the crazy weather!  Too many people asked for a White Christmas and got one.. I can't be mad at them.. haha.  It was rough, though.  I left AZ at 10, flight was already delayed, finally landed in DFW and sat in our plane on the landing strip for two hours.  Ran to my connecting flight, that luckily at that point had been delayed to just ten minutes after I made it out of my landing gate.  I was so excited to make it to my flight, only to sit in the plane for about two hours before taxi'ing out.  We were in line to get de-iced before take-off, got to the runway, and just seconds before take-off, they shut down the engines and the captain said he had just gotten word that the weather was bad in Little Rock and we needed to wait a half hour to see if conditions improved.  They didn't, we taxi'ed back to the gate, waited while the plane was refueled, and were told to get off the plane while they waited on weather changes, up to another hour.  By then, all the restaurants were already closed and I hadn't eaten since about 8 AM that morning.  When LAW called, I cried my little eyes out and complained about the day.  Baby W* was upset, too.  I knew because at around 2 PM I started feeling non-stop movements in my belly.  Same ones as the night before.  I knew he was hungry since he would stop briefly whenever I would snack on some lame-o oatmeal bar that the flight attendant was kind enough to get me.  They didn't have ANY food for sale on either plane, and 10-12 hours is an awfully long time not to eat when I seriously need to eat every four hours right now. wowza.  There were so many canceled flights at DFW, that I really couldn't even be upset at people.  They were already getting so much crap from really angry people who didn't understand that weather is out of everyone's control.  I was just upset about the no food on flights thing, but it was just my luck I guess.
LAW was awesome and booked me a room at a Hyatt nearby, so at around 1230 AM, I got myself a little cab and went on my merry way.  His little rewards status with them let me check out at 2 PM so instead of trying to come in early today for an early flight on standby, I stayed in the hotel until the very last minute resting up.  Lucky thing, too, because the first flight out of here that I was supposed to be on standby for was canceled, and every flight since, including my own, has been delayed for at least an hour.  I'm sure there are still so many people stranded looking for seats from the now four canceled flights to Little Rock alone in the last 24 hours. I'm just glad I have a confirmed seat on this one - late or not!

So hopefully everyone else had a much better Christmas than the W-B clan this year!  I'm just glad to be seeing some of LAW's family at some point today.. haha.  and Memphis BBQ, definitely Memphis BBQ.  My mouth waters thinking of it, and it's the ONLY pork I want to eat (and I hope I still do when I actually order it)

Sorry about the ridiculously long update, but three weeks doesn't fit into a few short paragraphs :/

I'll leave you with any pictures I have related to Baby W* these last three weeks!





I took this last one after the shower to show my sister, but it's the only updated baby bump I have so whatever!

Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
And dance me to the end of love


Oh hey, fifteen weeks. what's up?

These last two weeks have been pretty uneventful on all fronts.  No doctor appointments (other than my usual physical therapy), no baby kicks felt yet, no change in scenery... not even any snow on the ground yet!  The only thing that has happened was a minor oopsies on my behalf that resulted in a minor tear of my hamstring on my right leg. The bruising is going down, and the therapist even massaged it a bit on Monday.  Maybe I should tear things more often to get more massages.. mwahaha.  I'm also hopefully going in to see a different therapist that specializes in OB physical therapy for my shoulders/back.  The pain from the car accident in July has started to come back, and this time I can't take muscle relaxers to make it go away, so I needed a more permanent and less dangerous solution.
Other than that, I'm really looking forward to next week's appointment with my OB and see what Baby W* has been up to.  If I'm lucky, Baby W* just may let me see what's in between those cute little legs, otherwise we'd have to wait until after New Year's, and that's sooooo far away!

On that note, I bought my ticket to fly out to Little Rock on Christmas Day and my FIL will pick me up there and drive me to Memphis to spend about two weeks with his family.  It's always really nice to see them and I'm sure they are excited to see the baby bump (or lack thereof).  I did take a few pictures today to show, since everyone keeps asking me to put some up, but since it's barely noticeable, I really haven't seen the point of taking any pictures yet.. haha.

Not much else going on in my side of the world.. still missing LAW, still dying to get to AZ and be with family as well as get spoiled with mom's fantastic cooking.. you know, the usual.  Nausea monster is easing up a bit, but still not as much as I'd like it to.  I'm hoping it is completely gone by the time I have to board that plane Christmas morning.  Oh, I did get two really neat surprise gifts from LAW this week.. my snoogle pillow (AMAZING), and a "mama kit" with some oil for my belly, some balm, teas, and bath salts postpartum. What a nice young man I have by my side! haha

I hope everyone is welcoming December with open arms and enjoying all the festivities associated with this special time of the year!

counting my lucky stars

How are we already heading into December???  Not that November went by quickly (trust me, it didn't), but this year definitely did!  And with that, it brings me to 14 weeks of pregnancy.  Have I mentioned how much I really didn't think I'd get here?! Holy wowzers.  I count my lucky stars every night and am so grateful to be moving along this pregnancy!

As I mentioned in my last post, I did the first part of Sequential Screening last week, and they called me yesterday to say that so far, it looks great (less than 1 in 10000 chance of DS).  I still have to do the second part of the screening after Dec. 5, and that will test for the other strands as well as spinal issues.  I think the last step will be my appointment with them on Jan 10 to compare measurements and give me my final results.  Baby is looking healthy though :)

I also went to my regular doctor for a prescription follow up that I got when I came back from Cancun. There was a new nurse, and she definitely didn't look at my chart or even know why I was there.  I almost got undressed to discuss a prescription.. luckily I was on top of my game and corrected her and headed to the doc's office along with all my clothing :)
First thing doc asks, however?  "Did you have a miscarriage?"  Oh, hey doc, nice to see you too!  Sometimes doctors are really bad at communicating with their patients.  He said that considering I have no belly yet/I'm not showing, it was really meant as a compliment if I was indeed still pregnant... But given my history, he was worried when he saw me.  Go ahead, doc, just keep digging your grave a little deeper on this one... If it wasn't because I saw Baby W* only a week ago, that little conversation may have been much more disturbing than it was.  To all the docs out there, learn how to talk to patients if you don't already. Goodness!

Anyway.  Looking forward to the coming weeks - hopefully Baby W* will let us see if he's a boy or if she's a girl come Dec. 10th.  That's also when my furbabies head to the vet to remove their reproductive systems.  This is going to be a big step for momma-bear, since I really never wanted to do that to them.. but they can't have any more furbabies so it's time to end all that.  Poor things.. they don't even know what's coming.  Also looking forward to heading home to AZ and visit with my parents/family and friends for a couple of weeks, including Christmas!  And then it's off to Tennessee to see LAW's dad and stepmom, who have been trying to get me out there since I left this Summer, and more so since they found out about Baby W*  I really wish I could've spent Thanksgiving up there, but New Year's will have to do.

I hope you all enjoy the coming weeks and don't get too stressed out with the commercial side of the holiday buzz.  Remember that Jesus is the Reason for the Season! ;) xox


Due Date: last week of May 2013

How far along? fourteen weeks. Boom!

Symptoms: this whole ligament stretching thing really hurts every now and then!  Still dealing with nausea and shortness of breath.. 

This week, Baby is the size of: orange you glad I didn't say banana?!

Total weight gain: negative 5 from 6 week weigh-in... not that I'm complaining since I'm sure when I start feeling like a cow I'll remember these weeks with lots and lots of jealousy. 

Gender: unknown

Food cravings: hahaha. I went and ate all the fried things I could find yesterday... nothing compares to Gus' chicken.. hopefully I'll be eating that in a month, though!

Anything making you queasy or sick: still no interest in eggs or pork.  morning and night are perfect for nausea monster to creep in, and every now and then, not enough fluids make me nauseous.

Maternity clothes? negative captain.

Sleep: I'm having a difficult time with sleep these last few nights, mostly just because I'm uncomfortable.

Movement: haven't felt anything yet, at least not that I'm aware.

Stretch marks? nothing I didn't already have!

Wedding rings on or off? on

Swelling? No

Belly Button in or out? in

Labor Signs: definitely not.

Happy or Moody most of the time: mostly sad about being lonely.

Best moment this week: today i made something really neat that I'm really proud of. so that!  

What I miss: sleeping next to LAW

Looking forward to: Dec. 10!
