Hello all! Excellent day today. Bunny Bun had a really great scan this morning and it's official- Bunny is a Girl! We're so happy. Honestly it didn't matter what we were having, only that the baby is healthy. Now it's time to start up the shopping and decorating the nursery. Love and hugs to all and I hope that you're having a good day today. We are!

Hello all. Had a bit of a scare on Tuesday. Headaches, saw those little silvery stars and was light headed all day. I thought I may have been coming down with this flu that's been sweeping the lands-After work I came home to try and lay down, to only become restless and worrisome. I went to triage and found out that I was dehydrated and my blood pressure was up. I felt bad because all day long, I tried to wait it out thinking that my "off" feeling would pass. Eventually it did, however there could have been something more serious happening to us and I didn't heed the warnings. I'm grateful that this was a minor issue and can be avoided in the future by monitoring my salt intake...no protein in the urine and I'm not pre-eclamptic as of this point.

On a more pleasant note, we find out what we are having this Tuesday- can't wait. I think we are having a boy- Daddy wants another little girl. I'm happy either way. We have a couple names picked out. Dante Lee and Nya Belle... I'll post again soon! thanks for taking the time to read my blog!

NT Scan went well today...Bunny Bun is doing well. Wasn't as active as we would have liked to see and that's ok. Melted my heart today, that's for sure.

Will post again later. Take care all.

3/7- WHAT on earth is it with me and mustard? I want it on everything. I `ve never really been a fan, but that `s changed...oh well-I `m sure I `ll get over it.

ahhhh deep breath here. Tuesday during a cervical length measurement ultrasound it was discovered that my cervix was starting to funnel from the inside out. I was consulted on getting a cerclage- which this exact happening was what we were hoping to catch with the biweekly scans- and I elected to have one. We did the works- spinal block-cut away and pushed up part of my bladder to get the stitch up higher and we made it out ok with minimal discomfort. I will tell you this, I knew for a long time that my cervix wasn `t `normal ` and that I was going to have issues with this pregnancy- however my dr `s really didn `t seem to understand what I was trying to tell them. An incompetent cervix/soft mushy cervix like mine doesn `t `look ` incompetent on an ultra sound. It wasn `t until I was on the operating table and they manually examined my cervix were they able to determine that the fibers of my cervix were to flexible they could have put a finger through it right to the baby. This catch in the changes of my body were meant to happen. I believe that angels were watching over us on Tuesday. I pray daily and thank God that this opportunity was given and allowed to be taken. We `re on modified bedrest and will find out this afternoon after my follow up scan if I can return to work on Monday. I `m hoping that I am able to go back. At the very least this baby needs to stay in for 7 more weeks according to the surgeon. I `m not so good at the layng around thing. I will update later on this afternoon.

follow up scan went well. We are able to return to work Monday with very limited activity. The cerclage is in a good position and Bunny Bun is doing well too. Her h/r was 166 this afternoon. To all of those that have shared their cerclage stories and experiences, thank you so much for your input. It helped me become a better health advocate for myself and I appreciate it- we appreciate it so much. Thank you for being around for us. xoxo

I have been hanging in there so far, just tired as crap. I had a question, do you have like that one thing yet that you cannot live without since taking care of a newborn? I am just trying to make certain that i am well prepared in advance. I think i am starting to get nervous. How is little Ms. Nyah? Have you been getting any sleep yet

Just wanted to stop in and say hello to the mommy and baby

I'm REALLY hoping I bypass all the spreading, but my mom told me since I've only gained 12 pounds this whole pregnancy, I'll probably be one of those ones that blow up the last 2 months, and she could be right because I gained 2 pounds in the last 2 weeks and my weight-gain hasn't been that quick the whole pregnancy!

Message to all This may be interesting to some of you. Seema`s email is seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

Hi there,

I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.

We�re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.

If you�re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.

You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

You'd better get some new pics up Mommy! Good to know that all is well and Nyah is sleeping through the night! Jordan still wakes up once or twice for feedings as you can see from his chunky pics!

Yeah it's been a while! But it's good to hear from you! How does it feel to be back at work? I know you must miss Nyah like crazy! I don't know what I'm gonna do when I have to go back to work. It's just me, Terry, my brother and dad and we are all gonna be working the same shift...I don't know if I can trust a daycare with my baby when she's just 6 weeks old. I'm terrified of doing that! Any advice? I'm hopin my mom moves down here soon because I know she'd keep her hands down; I just don't wanna put her in a daycare when she's so little :( I'm looking at some work-from-home stuff and talking to Terry about us working separate shifts. I don't know how we're gonna do it but I know I'm NOT gonna put her in a daycare!!! Other than boggling the whole daycare thing, I'm doing good! I'm going home October 31st and having my shower November 2nd! I'll be 33 weeks then and since my doc said no more travel after 32, I'll be just over the limit, but nowhere near 36 weeks like I woulda been had I went toward the end of November. I'd hate to have Tauri in Milwaukee and daddy misses it all!
