"Keep up the good work. I know you had to sacrifice a lot for this pregnancy."
Those were the words my OB told me yesterday. I met one really crucial milestone and that was surpassing the gestation where I lost Ethan. Yoda is measuring ahead and it's just a huge relief. I haven't really put a lot of thought about this pregnancy and everything I'm sacrificing until he made that

I'm part of a November Moms 2013 group on Facebook. It's a secret and many of the mothers-to-be there know my story with Ethan and this pregnancy. While I do keep them up-to-date with my progress, I also limit how much I tell them. One, I'm a little uncomfortable discussing my IC when none of them have it. I'm all for bringing awareness to IC and the treatment I'm

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

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

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

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

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

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
