10.25.08 (5 Weeks) We found out that we were pregnant again one week ago!!! I took two pregnancy tests two days before I expected to get my period and they both came back positive! I then went to the clinic to have a blood test done to confirm and that also came back positive! We are very excited. I have been very tired and going to bed early and eating a lot. I have not been peeing that much more than usual but feel very bloated. It even looks like I have a little belly. I have not had any morning sickness. (I didn't have morning sickness with my first baby either). The beginning of pregnancy makes me nervous as I don't really 'feel' pregers, again - I felt this way with my first too. It is such a long time until the first appt. I don't have my first appointment until December 5th. I will be 10 or 11 weeks at that time. I can't wait to hear that little heartbeat. The Chinese calendar says that we are going to have another girl! We'll see! I already have our spare bedroom painted! I was actually getting it ready for our daughter, Falynn's playroom. Baby dust to all and God bless. <3 Kerianne

11.3.08 (6 Weeks) Things have been going well. I have still been tired and have felt a little bit of sickness lately. I Had my HCG level taken in the middle of wk 5 and it was 8900. My doc said that was good and there was no need for another test. I have especially felt sick last Sunday. Woah. That day was rough. Aaron wasn't home either. Falynn and I were both sick. It just a long day and I could hardly take care of both of us...and the two dogs. I have my first doc appt next week. I will be 8 weeks next Thursday. I am pretty excited although it is only to do paperwork and labs. O well. At least the fun begins. I love appts!! Talk soon. Take care. God bless.

11.06.08 ( 6 Weeks) I talked to my doctor yesterday because I had some light brown spotting. I ended up having an u/s. Baby looked good and had a heartbeat of 118. The u/s tech said that baby was measuring exactly 6 weeks as of yesterday. So my new due date is 7.1.09. The tech also told me that I had a pregnancy cyst on my right ov and that the spotting was due to a tear somewhere and it was causing some hemorraging. My doc spoke to me after she discussed everything over with the u/s tech and told me not to worry, that she has seen these tears before and everything has turned out fine with mommy & baby. I see her again today at noon to go over the u/s stuff again. I have a few questions that I want answered. She was more than happy to get me in today. Baby dust and God bless xo!

11/09/08 (7 Weeks) Yesterday was my daughter's 1st b-day. We had a really nice party for her. I think my husband and I got as much joy out of it as she did. So, I found out exactly what they found on the u/s. Read my blog posted in week 7: My spotting (very, veryy little) is due to Subchorionic Hemorrhage. Google it. I have never heard of it before. I had spotting with my first baby but never had an early ultrasound that decteded anything. I will have to go in weekly to have my HCG levels checked. It is interesting. Check it out. My doc said that my hemorrage/tear is very small - 1 cm. She is going to keep a watch on it. Still freaks me the heck out. God bless. Keep us in your prayers please. Hugs.

11/18/08 (8 Weeks) I have been going in for HCG level check every week. This week at 8 weeks my HCG level was 130,330. My docs nurse said that my numbers have been going up very well every week so far. I also have been invited to have a quickie ultrasound next Monday!! The nurse insisted. She said, "Why don't you come on in next Monday and we'll do an u/s on you to calm your nerves so you can enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday". Isn't that just the kindest thing. She is just going to do it -- I don't even have an appt or anything. So I am pretty sure that I won't have to pay for this either. Lately I have been quite tired but that is about it. I am not having to go potty all that much and I only feel sick when I am really hungry. My belly looks quite bloated and looks like I have a little tummy. I am hoping that all is going well and that my sub choronic hemmorage has resolved and there is no potential big risk with that. Hopefully they will be able to check all of that in the u/s scan I am having Monday. I have been pretty stressed overall because without many m/s, I am not "feeling" pregnant yet. Just praying that all goes well for all of us mommies out there. We are all going through these stressful times together. God bless (Hugs). I will keep my updates coming.

11/21/08 (8 Weeks) Here I am at the end of week 8. I woke up this am - fed my daughter her bottle and then went to the bathroom. I noticed that I had some spotting again... after not having any spotting for over a week... it was back :( And this time it was red, fresh blood... not brown old blood. It was not very much at all... but still enough to scare me, AGAIN. I will likely have another untrasound today. I will write more later. Pray for us. God bless.

11/21/08 Continued. I had my u/s. I saw baby and a heartbeat. Thank God. Baby measured 9 weeks 1 day and it's heartbeat was 164 bpm. The doc said the bleeding I experienced this am was from the sub chorionic hemmorage again. They also said the hemmorage is actually getting smaller! God bless. (HUGS)

01.02.09 (15 Weeks today) Things have been going well. I haven't been sick, just tired. No bleeding lately and I think I have felt a few flutters here and there. I THINK... It is hard to tell at this point. Plus, I think having placenta pervia makes it a little harder to feel movement because they could be kicking the placenta at it's out of place location. Anyway, I had an u/s at 13.3 weeks and I SWEAR I saw a little wiener on the baby. Not positive but I really thought I saw it. Who knows! I have my 15.3 week appt on 01.05.09, this coming Monday and am hoping my doc can tell us what we are having. My placenta previa has been making me feel as if there is a lot of pressure down low above the pelvic area. This can be very uncomfortable at times! My daughter, Falynn, is walking like crazy and getting so big. She is such a good little girl. The love of my life! Take Care. God Bless!

1.12.09 (16.3 Weeks today) I have been feeling fine. I was getting freaked out because of not really feeling the baby moving at all. However, when I was laying on my bed doing homework tonight, I felt some flutters. At least that was some reassurance. I need that! only two more weeks until we find out the sex. Hopefully. I have not been eating nearly as much as I did with my first pregnancy. I don't think I have gained as much weight so far either. Although, I think last time I gained most of my weight in the third trimester. So, we'll see how that goes. I have been thinking about quitting my job when the baby is born. I would then do in-home daycare in my home. I would likely only watch 3 others besides my own. I am a certified provider. At this point, things are pretty up in the air. Financially, thinking about all of this is really stressful... there are not a lot of affordable options out there!

2.10.09 (20.4 weeks today) Things have been going very well. Our little boy is active off and on. I think I feel him moving more than I did my daughter at this time in the pregnancy. I am pretty sure we are going to name him Bennett. Not too sure on the middle name though. I have been feeling well and no longer have placenta previa! I can't believe I am 1/2 way there. I am definately stressed about financials that is for sure. I just have to try and tell myself to give it a break and enjoy the pregnancy. Worrying all the time doesn't 'help' matters much. My daughter is a little piece of pie and I love her to pieces! She is getting to be such a big girl. In the toddler bed and all :) Tear! My husband and I painted Bennett's bedroom - looks great and couldn't be happier!!! My current weight is 137 lbs! Yikes. That would mean in the last two weeks I have gained 7 lbs. Bring on the carrots! God bless, xo

3.12.09 (24.6 wks today) Things are going smoothly. I am feeling good but large and in charge these days. I am starting to have the waddle to my step! I am 25 weeks tomorrow! WOW. Time is really going by fast this pregnancy! I still have a ways to go too. I can't imagine being 3 months bigger yet... woah! Bennett Aaron is moving quite a bit. He is probably going to be quite the little athlete! I am getting very excited and nervous as well. I think I finally found a daycare for both Falynn and Bennett. We visit her tonight. Pray it works out and wish us luck! God Bless. Hugs!
