Pressure
Nearly two days ago I started to feel some pressure (almost like a bruise), so I gave it a day thinking it might just pass. However, yesterday morning while I was trying to pick up the house I still could feel it, so I called and left a message for the...
Intense Dreams
They're back! Last night for the first time in a few weeks I had one of those intense dreams...where I was being pursued. All I remember is running away and hiding in a closet somewhere hoping that my breathing wouldn't give me away...that and the unbearable...
33w1d
Just crossed into the "6 weeks left" phase. Yes, my heart is beating a bit quicker thinking of all of those things I so desperately wanted to get done before the baby arrived...and how we're not making much progress. Like our master bath. My husband began...
Totally Unproductive
Do you ever have moments where you feel like you should just give up? Think I'm getting there. I'm behind on the housework (good thing, as our language therapist is coming tomorrow, so I'm sure tomorrow morning I'll be up and trying to pick things up...

Can I Really Be This Tired?
Well, it's been over a week since I put myself back on the every day dosage of Plaquenil...and now I'm not exhausted by mid-afternoon like I was before, but I'm out like a light before 930pm. I've fallen asleep on the couch with my husband working right...
Nearing 26 Weeks
I had my monthly appointment (a week late...as I spaced and forgot last Monday that I had an appointment) yesterday. Loved only being up 3.5 lbs in five weeks. Holding better course than with my first pregnancy. Although, I had that wonderful stomach...
Cramping
Yeah, the cramps are back. Supposedly from all that my doctors have said, this is fairly normal...unless it feels like labor cramps. For someone who never got to experience labor or labor cramps, that's a tough one to figure out. I know about the back...

Fatigue Sets In
I've started to notice over the past few days that the morning sickness is definitely getting better. Not so much from mid afternoon until dinnertime, but I do have some after dinner. I'm eating though, and probably making up for lost time. However, as...
Happy...er...New Years
New Years was off to a great start in our house this year. I had developed signs of a sore throat New Year's Eve, and with the morning sickness I've been having, felt rather lousy most of the day. We grazed on leftovers (pizza and some other things) most...
The First Picture
Today we received the first print out picture of our baby. How exciting! We were able to see the tiny little bubble of an "egg sac" (as they call it) two weeks ago, but today this sac now looked like a bean, and we could even see the "fluttering" inside...
The Cramps Continue
Things got even worse on Friday. Although I've been crampy on and off most of the past few weeks, by Friday afternoon I couldn't even get comfortable. I was just counting the minutes until my husband was home so he could watch our son run circles around...

Crampy Anyone?
Yes, I've been crampy the last few weeks, but today was more so than usual. Every time I bent over, like to tie my boots before heading outside with my son, I would feel an annoying pressure in my lower abdomen. I also woke up this morning not terribly...
Should I Be Frustrated of Concerned?
In the mail today I received a copy of the letter the high risk OB sent to my primary OB back in August. After digesting the two pages and all of the medical terms and abbreviations (like CHB = congenital heart block...or fetal heart block)...and I have...
