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

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

http://youtu.be/1lyu1KKwC74 Mother's Day has a new meaning for me. Not necessarily a happy one. Last year, it was supposed to be my first Mother's Day with a newborn. That didn't happen. Instead, it was my first Mother's Day and I didn't have a baby to show for it. I vividly recall I spent my day in hiding, away from phone and any social media. I didn't want to be flooded with

It’s Been Awhile

http://youtu.be/K2NGe9mLAEc Sorry I haven't updated. Between being absolutely exhausted and well, being absolutely exhausted, I just haven't had the energy. I'm still tired; I'm actually in bed right now as I type this. But the good news is that I'm feeling a lot better! My nausea disappeared and my hunger is back in full force, which I'm still deciding if it's a good thing. I'm always hungry! I'll pick up the
