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

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
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

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
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?
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.

Today marks week eight into my pregnancy! Just one more week until I actually hit three months. Sweet! Let's check out Yoda's progress:
According to baby-gaga.com:
Woohoo! You've got one whole inch of baby inside of you!
Your little embryo has finally reached the one-inch mark (30mm)!
What's more, your baby is finally starting to take on some very distinct human features. For starters, their little tail (really just the spinal cord) has
