I’m Lovin’ It – Yoda is Half-Baked!

I'm at the point where I'm halfway through my pregnancy. I hit the halfway mark two weeks ago, since it's already decided that I'll get my stitches out at 36 weeks. This milestone is still a huge achievement, though. The next big milestone will be in 17 days, when I surpass the loss milestone with Ethan and then at the end of the month when I reach viability (24

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

http://youtu.be/gAjR4_CbPpQ I could've sworn I had a post with this title already. Maybe not. I love me some Daft Punk. I'm telling you, Yoda is gonna be a Daft Punk baby. A lot has happened since my cerclage. I went for my post-cerclage visit a week after and everything looks great so far. I received two stitches, one is a bit higher than the other. Double stitched for the 2013. We

Secret

http://youtu.be/EPHUZenprKc The interesting thing about keeping a secret is wondering how long you can keep it for before either: 1) someone finds out, or 2) you explode and you have to share it with someone. Because of our late loss with Ethan, M and I decided to keep my pregnancy with Yoda a secret and not reveal until the birth. Now, it's not to say no one knows; actually, it's the contrary. A

Body and Soul

http://youtu.be/goBREseotZE So yesterday was the big surgery. I got my cerclage. Let's see where to begin. I arrived at the hospital with Maks around 7 AM. After filling out the necessary 'Oh by the way, you have a real chance of dying so we need your signature so you're aware of that fact' paperwork, they had a doppler on my tummy to check Yoda's heartbeat. Once it was found and he

Don’t Stop Believin’

http://youtu.be/rfUYuIVbFg0 I really don't like Journey but the song fits this blog post. Tomorrow is the big day. Tomorrow I finally get my cerclage. To be honest, I really don't want to get it. I really don't want to go to the hospital. But I know if I want Yoda to bake and most importantly, I want to meet him/her in November, it's a necessary procedure. I'm nervous. I'm scared. What if it

Got To Be Real

http://youtu.be/EoXvDleWJ5U Today I scheduled my cerclage for next week. I have to go in for pre-op next Wednesday and be at the hospital for the cerclage in the wee hours on Saturday morning. http://youtu.be/Br2_22e2RoU It made me realize how serious this is. This isn't a typical procedure. This isn't a 'Oh, it's not big deal.' This affects me. This affects Yoda. This affects everything.  I am nervous, not going to lie. I've been looking

Angel of Mine

http://youtu.be/3eOuK-pYhy4 Yesterday, I had my NT scan to check to see if Yoda is doing alright. For those who don't know what a NT scan is, just click this link and it'll tell you everything you need to know. So, we had a very eventful trip on the way to the doctor's. I would rather not go into details about what happened but let's just say someone's getting fired. Anyhoo, we

[youtube=http://youtu.be/gAjR4_CbPpQ]   It's been a while since I've updated on the health front. Truth to be told, I've just been too exhausted to update. If I'm not sleeping, I'm trying to sleep. I can go to bed at one in the morning and wake up like it's nothing five hours later. Needless to say, I've been taking a lot of much-needed naps. In fact, I took one today. I was planning

99 Problems

[youtube=http://youtu.be/WwoM5fLITfk]   "...that stitches stuff foxxy is getting..." It's a phrase that's been on my mind for the past half-hour or so. I'm hoping when I'm finished typing, it would be out of my mind so I can concentrate on the rest of my day. We'll get to that phrase that doesn't pay in a minute but first... So I had my first prenatal appointment this past Tuesday. Yoda is measuring a little

You Got Me

  No soda for Yoda. I decided to have a Sprite today with my lunch and boy was that a bad idea. It was way too sweet for me. Like, I'm not even sure I finished a quarter of it. I even took a picture of it: No more soda for Yoda. I swear this kid is making me healthier already. In interesting news, I had a follow-up phone conversation with Dr. Davis.
