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

Yoda is 17 weeks today (well, yesterday). Let's check on his progress! According to babygaga.com: Don't look now, but... your baby is EVEN bigger, cuter, AND smarter than last week!

Let's check Yoda's progress this week! According to babygaga.com: Over the past three weeks your magical-gro baby has managed to add on yet another 2 full inches of length (totaling about 4.5 inches) and now weighs a whopping 3.5 ounces!

I’m Lovin’ It – Yoda Week 15

Yes, I know I'm late with the bump post and update. I was sleeping just about all week and I finally caught that second trimester energy that I have been missing! Yay! So how's Yoda doing? Let's check! According to babygaga.com: Your adorable four-inch break-dancer is busy cutting a rug inside their dance studio, even if you still can't feel it. The majority of women don't feel those first magical movements (and not

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
