I’m Lovin’ It – Yoda at Week 21

http://youtu.be/-IHcp8Pl_X4 According to babygaga.com: Your beautiful little miracle-gro baby will be putting on a full ounce and a half this week. And that's just the beginning! Within the next five weeks, they'll really be packin' it on as they start to gain fat! For now, we’re pleased to report the addition of rapid eye movement (REM); a key component to any healthy baby's sleep schedule, that indicates they're now capable of dreaming. Over in

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 all for bringing awareness to IC and the treatment I'm

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. Yes, your wee baby IS bigger this week, but only because we're now able to measure their little legs which have straightened out enough to be measured accurately. Just in case the random

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.

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

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
