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

One Sweet Day

http://youtu.be/UXxRyNvTPr8   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

I’m Lovin’ It – Yoda Week 12

Great news! Yoda finally caught up! My EDD is back to the original - 11/18. So flippin' excited! So what's Yoda up to this week? Let's find out! According to The Bump: Things are changing fast. You’re reaching the home stretch of the first trimester (we know, finally!) at 12 weeks which means your hormones are likely to tone things down a bit -- which might make you feel a little less

I’m Lovin’ It – Yoda Week 10*

Hello, hello! We're going to do the week-by-week pregnancy a little different for the time being. Since Yoda is measuring a little small, I'm going to do the pregnancy weeks by LMP (last menstrual period) until Yoda catches up. If Yoda somehow measures ahead, I'll still do it by LMP. What's Yoda's size this week? According to baby-gaga.com: Your astonishingly tiny baby has been growing as fast as possible, almost doubling in size

[youtube=http://youtu.be/gAjR4_CbPpQ]   It's been a while since I've updated on the health front. Truth to be told, I've just been too exhausted to update. If I'm not sleeping, I'm trying to sleep. I can go to bed at one in the morning and wake up like it's nothing five hours later. Needless to say, I've been taking a lot of much-needed naps. In fact, I took one today. I was planning

Keep It In The Closet

  Over the past several weeks, Maks and I have gone back and forth on whether we wanted to find out the sex of Yoda. I wanted to find out because it'll be easier for the registry. Well, registries since there's more than one. I think I'm at three now and I'm not sure if I started one at Babies R Us. Wait a minute, am I at three registries?

I’m Lovin’ It – Yoda – Week 9

Today I officially start month three of pregnancy. I would be happier if I wasn't so damn nauseated all the time. Let's check Yoda's progress! According to Alphamom: our Baby: Is about the size of a grape, or perhaps a cocktail olive, the kind that’s marinated in vermouth and stuffed with blue cheese. (Is not marinated in vermouth or stuffed with blue cheese.) Has fingers and toes and eyelids and ears. External boy and girl-parts are
