One thing I've come to realize is that when you're pregnant after a (late) loss, people tend to forget that you went through childbirth with the previous pregnancy, if you were fortunate to experience such agony. Already, the comments of what I should expect are coming in from friends.
Fact: I went through 13 hours of natural labor with Ethan, before I received an epidural. I know what childbirth feels like.

Today is HDBD. I'm tired, y'all. It's been really hot in LA and no matter how much I run all of the fans and AC and lounge around in my skivvies, I still can't get cool enough. Maybe if I can somehow fit myself in the freezer, that might work.
You have to excuse the dirty mirror. I really haven't been in the mood to clean anything lately. I did

It gets easier.
It gets better.
But does it really?
Those are things I've said to myself. Those are things I've said to others. But I wonder...does grieving over your pregnancy, your child...does it ever get easier? Does it ever get better?
This December, it'll be two years since Ethan went to Heaven and it sometimes feels it just happened yesterday. I often wonder what his personality would've been like. Would he have
I officially hit 28 weeks! This is a huge, huge milestone. Every four weeks is one step closer to a happy, healthy Yoda bear. My doctors are very happy with the progress of the pregnancy and namely, how the cerclage has been holding up. The next big milestone is 32 weeks. Whew! Let's hope it's a quick four weeks!

Today is HDBD. I took this picture late Monday night and I'm really glad I did since I've been sick lately. I'm really digging this top from Motherhood Maternity. I'm almost tempted to go out and buy a few more.
I've been meaning to add stats and here they are. Better late than never!
How far along? 27 weeks according to LMP.
Weight gain/loss? Still no weight gain and probably with my newest

I'm typing this post as I deal with morning sickness. Yes, morning sickness. You see, I didn't know I could get morning sickness again in the third trimester. It makes sense once you think about it: as the baby grows, your stomach shrinks, making it impossible for you to have full meals anymore. It does make it possible, however, to get rid of the meals you did have like
Today, I officially hit the third trimester according to LMP. Yoda is still measuring ahead in both body and head, though my doctors are confident I will go full-term. Nothing like the thought of giving birth to a big-ass baby to comfort me. :P
Let's check to see how Mr. Yoda is doing now. According to babygaga.com:
Your not-so-tiny-anymore baby (2 pounds and 14.5 inches long!) is slowly rotating in preparation

I've been introducing Yoda to a lot of different genres. I've been on a Public Enemy and Wu-Tang Clan kick as of late, much to the chagrin to M. It's not like he doesn't like both groups, because he does. He just thinks I'm encouraging our son to Fight the Power and he's not outside the womb yet. I have been playing a lot of Michael Jackson and The
