My Sacrifice

http://youtu.be/O-fyNgHdmLI "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 haven't really put a lot of thought about this pregnancy and everything I'm sacrificing until he made that

Future Baby Mama…lazy edition

Today is Hump Day, Bump Day or HDBD for short. I'm feeling hella lazy today so I'm not sure when I'll make my way to the bathroom for a picture. Instead, here's a picture from last Friday when I was about to have a lunch date with a friend. I'm really glad I'm past the 'Fat or Pregnant?' stage and my bump is finally bigger than my booty.

So Appalled

http://youtu.be/zUjO8cy-B9A   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 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

I’m Lovin’ It – Yoda at Week 19

http://youtu.be/-IHcp8Pl_X4 Although I'm measuring ahead, this week marks 19 weeks of pregnancy. Let's see how Yoda is doing this week: According to babygaga.com: Your favorite womb-hijacker is suddenly huge, at 10 inches in length! Pick your jaw off the floor mama.

Playing Your Game, Baby

http://youtu.be/xRQIdpBAdTw So I decided to do a little splurge for this pregnancy. Probably the first of many. Remember this? Well, I decided to get them. You're probably wondering why in the hell did I decide to spend $50 on bellybuds instead of getting regular headphones and placing them on my tummy? Well, I wanted the option of walking around with the buds without trying to hold up a pair of headphones
