The thing about being pregnant after a loss is dealing with anxiety. You're always wondering 'what if...?' and you're never quite comfortable being pregnant, no matter how far along you are. Unless you've had a late loss, unless you've had multiple miscarriages, unless you know the pain of pregnancy loss, you can't relate. You can't sympathize, you can't empathize, you simply can't. Being an angel mom is something no

http://youtu.be/6jujG5X9iZsI had an appointment with my OB this past Friday. Yoda is looking great and measuring great. Still, no weight gain and my doctor doubts I'll gain any for the remainder of the pregnancy. I can still look down and see my feet for the time being. I had my glucose test on Friday as well and yeah...it was nice to drink the flat Fanta-like beverage for a few
According to LMP, I'm 30 weeks. Of course, that's not the case. Nevertheless, let's check in on Mr. Yoda.
According to babygaga.com:
Woohoo! You can finally see the finish line now that you're in the final quarter of the race!!!

It's Hump Day Bump Day! Let's gooooooooooooooo!
This week's HDBD post comes in the form of two photos:
You know, one of these days I will clean my bathroom mirror. This was taken Sunday.
This was taken Monday.
I'm showing the different pictures to show how different my shape is depending on what I wear.

One thing I've come to realize is that when you're pregnant after a (late) loss, people tend to forget that you went through childbirth with the previous pregnancy, if you were fortunate to experience such agony. Already, the comments of what I should expect are coming in from friends.
Fact: I went through 13 hours of natural labor with Ethan, before I received an epidural. I know what childbirth feels like.
Today is HDBD. I'm tired, y'all. It's been really hot in LA and no matter how much I run all of the fans and AC and lounge around in my skivvies, I still can't get cool enough. Maybe if I can somehow fit myself in the freezer, that might work.
You have to excuse the dirty mirror. I really haven't been in the mood to clean anything lately. I did

It gets easier.
It gets better.
But does it really?
Those are things I've said to myself. Those are things I've said to others. But I wonder...does grieving over your pregnancy, your child...does it ever get easier? Does it ever get better?

I officially hit 28 weeks! This is a huge, huge milestone. Every four weeks is one step closer to a happy, healthy Yoda bear. My doctors are very happy with the progress of the pregnancy and namely, how the cerclage has been holding up. The next big milestone is 32 weeks. Whew! Let's hope it's a quick four weeks!
Let's check to see how Mr. Yoda is doing. According to
Today is HDBD. I took this picture late Monday night and I'm really glad I did since I've been sick lately. I'm really digging this top from Motherhood Maternity. I'm almost tempted to go out and buy a few more.
I've been meaning to add stats and here they are. Better late than never!
How far along? 27 weeks according to LMP.
Weight gain/loss? Still no weight gain and probably with my newest
