my husband and i have been TTC since our daughter was born, without any luck. we had just given up, and gave away the very last of out baby things, when my husband suggested we try one last time.
well much to my suprise it worked, and we are now expecting our second child in July!! i guess that gives me a great excuse to go shopping :)

one more week until my ultra sound!!!! i am soo excited!! my husband is coming (of course) and we are bringing our 5 year old daughter too. she is so excited to have a new baby, she has been asking for one for about 2 years now. . i would love a girl because it would be more of a playmate for Olivia, but a boy would be nice because it would be different-pity i don't find out the sex for another 8 weeks!! i am just so pleased to be a mother again!!

we just came home from my first ultrasound!! i was so nervous going in, well as soon as the doc put the thingy on my tummy, i saw our beautiful baby!! i nearly cried at the sight of our little jumping bean, it was soo cute, my husband had a time of it trying to explain all the 'bits' to our five year old!! but i feel sooo much better now, its little heart is beating at 158 beats p/m, it has two arms and two legs, it has great blood flow, and normal nuchal folds. YAY!!

i have been under a lot of stress at work lately, and had been having some pain and cramping, so this morning i went to see my doctor. she examined me, at first she didnt want to listen with the doppler, because she said, often at 14 weeks, you cant always hear the heartbeat, and she didnt want me to worry too much. i asked if she could anyway, and i was releaved to hear straight away my little bumps heartbeat, going strong and steady at 153 b.p.m!! i feel soo much better. now i just have to wait another month or so to see the gender. i think it will be a boy, my husband and daughter think girl, really though a healthy baby is all thats important to me.

i went to the hospital today to give my complete medical history, and have my first check there. i have been seeing my regular gp, and im going to have shared care between the hospital and gp. i heard the babys heartbeat there, and it had gone down a little to 140. im glad i chose to see my regular doctor, because i started seeing her when i was pregnant with my daughter, so i know her really well feel totaly comfortable. my maternity hospital offers three modes of care, a midwife program, where you get a team of three midwives through the pregnancy, and one of the three will be at the labor, or the third mode is where i go to the hospital for every appointment, and see the doctor on duty there. i really didnt want to do that, who wants to wait around a hospital for hours every couple of weeks? i am happy with what ive chosen, even though my doctor wont be the one to deliver the baby, from what i remember of last time, i really didnt care who was there, i just wanted to get it over with and meet my daughter

i have been having these weird feelings in my arms and legs during the night, they have been getting pins and needles and going numb. i was very worried, as i have also been feeling sick and faint a lot too. i have momentary hearing loss, where i can only hear a 'shhhhh' sound and lose my sense of where i am in space. i went to my doctor, who told me i have very low blood pressure, which is causing all of these symptoms. i was very happy to hear this, even more so when she said it was probably due to the babys rapid growth at this stage, and my placenta needing more blood than i had to give. she says this will go in time. i will be sooo happy when i feel normal again. i am feeling some movement, i really hope its the baby, its like a rolling, swooshing feeling with some pokes, rather than the bubbles i felt with my last pregnancy.

we had out 20 week ultrasound on wedensday and..............ITS A BOY!!! and WHAT a boy! everything looks good (no spina bifida, which we were worried about as my brother suffers from it) except in his left ventrical in his brain, he has the upper limit of whats normal fluid buildup. it is still in the normal range, 10 mm, though that is the cut off for normal, so we have to go back in 4 weeks to have another scan to see how he's doing. the doctor told us if we wanted (he didnt recomend though) we could have amnio, but as we want this baby, we wouldnt care what the results are, and seeing as everything is still technicly 'normal' we dont want to run the risk of having amnio. so we are praying he is healthy and we will see more in another few weeks.

2nd March 2008

we went for the follow up appointment yesterday, we were both so nervous, but as it turned out, there was no need to be! the left nuchal fold is down to 9mm, so the doctor was very happy with the results. he took us into his office to explain exactly what was going on, he told us that it is very common to have a transient enlarging of the ventricals, and that it means the baby is fine. the horrible thing is though, that because of the ultrasound technoligy getting better, the doctors didnt see until recently these types of things, so when they started seeing them, a lot of people would abort perfectly healthy babys because of it.
well im glad to have seen my little bub again, and knowing he is healthy is just wonderful! no new piccys though, he was facing toward my spine with the cord in front of his face.

I'm glad you got a mini baby shower, sounds like fun! My husband would like me home as well, but I am planing on finishing up the school year so I have about 5 more weeks to go. My BP is staying quite good lately, it must be the meds. I still need to watch myself pretty close because one day I can be fine and the next it"s through the roof I am now counting down the weeks until my little girl is here. I can't wait!!!! Beat you can"t wait to hold your little guy! Well take care of yourself!
