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!
Guess what? Your little lollipop is not so bobble-headed anymore!
Yep, your baby's head-to-body ratio is starting to even out, as the rest of their body - including their arms and legs (the
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

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

Today I'm 14 weeks! Yay! Now let's see how Yoda is doing.
According to babygaga.com:
At about 3.5 inches long, your peach-sized baby's little body and limber limbs are coordinated enough for loads of complicated motions.
In fact, it's very likely that they're in the middle of some fancy break-dance moves right now!
Unfortunately, you're not going to feel their fancy moves until sometime after week 18 because they're still too small to

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.

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

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

Every month on the 13th, I take a moment to reflect. If I can't spend the day alone, I usually find a quiet area to just decompress and reflect: where I have been, where I am, where I am going.
Ethan was born on December 13, 2011. That date is permanently tattooed on my brain.
It's been 17 months since he went to Heaven and I've thought about Ethan more during
Today officially marks the beginning of the second trimester for us! Yay! Let's see how Yoda is doing this week:

Buckle up folks, we're about to head into trimester two!
Your little womb tenant is getting bigger and smarter every day! Their skin is paper-thin and rather see-through, showing off all their shiny new functioning and still-developing organs.
Their sense of taste and smell are more developed and refined while
