I am currently at 23 weeks pregnant and we have (at the most) 15 weeks left... We are really starting to get super excited around here but we know that it's still kinda far away... We are only going to 38 weeks because (if I am able to carry him that long) we will either have to have a c-section or we will enduce at that time...

I went to the Doc today and I am currently not bleeding so that is absolutelly good news... We joked that that was my dr's Valentine's Day present from me... LOL... YAY!!! No Bleeding...

Today when I weighed I gained five pounds from last time I weighed and he said that it was a good thing too cause I was WAAAAAY under weight and he was going to put me on a special diet to gain more weight if I hadn't gained enough by this appointment... I have been eating good and such... just not gainin the weight... but it's all good now... I go back in Two Weeks... I will write more updates then if there is anything new to report...

I just can't believe this... WOW... I just realized that of course I am halfway already but also that in only 4 1/2 months I will be able to hold my lil angel... i so can't wait... then I started looking at like baby shower ideas and such and when I did it said that usually baby shower are 1 1/2 to 2 months before the due date and that you need to allow 4 weeks for invitations for out of town guests... WOW... that means like the end of next month... it just really put things into perspective I guess... I am almost in shock really...

With my other pregnancy it seemed like forever really but with this one it has seemed like time has just flown by, granted this one has been alot harder on me it just doesn't seem like it is taking as long...

I have some sad news today... My son Eric got admitted to the hospital yesterday and we have to stay another night at least... The dr. says that he is not well enough to go home... He has an uncommon viral lung infection with asthma flares... I feel so bad for him... Poor baby... At night he has a hard time breathing so they have to put oxygen on him and he has an open IV and has to be hooked up to an oxygen and heart meter... I wish I could just take him home... but I know that he has to get well...

I also had my appointment today and my dr is worried about the bleeding again so I have to see him next week... He reminded me that I have a very high risk pregnancy... I really just hope everything gets better soon and we get to go home soon cause Eric doesn't like it here at the hospital... Yuck! I don't blame him... neither do I.

Today I am exactly 20 weeks pregnant...

This means that we are half way there... YAY!!!

Yesterday we got some good news and some bad news...

(Just a lil history) I started bleeding at about 5 weeks, this was just a few days after I found out that I was pregnant, went to the hospital and they told me that I would prolly miscarry... This was tramatic to me cause I had already had 2 previously. But I stopped bleeding and we made it another 5 weeks, then at 10 weeks I was sitting at work and had a huge gush of blood, so once again... I went to the hospital... Yet again they told me that I would proll miscarry and sent me home.... told me to hope for the best...

At this point we noticed that the placenta was 25% detached and my doctor put me on bed rest imediately, not to return to work until delivery. Then as time went on the detchment became worse at 40% and then became better back to what we originally were, at 25%. Now we have some more good news and some bad news that we recieved yesterday... Now it appears that there is almost no detachment but now we have a whole new issue to worry about... The placenta is now over the cervix... This wouldn't be so bad but I am terrified of having to have a C-section, and this promises I will have to if it doesn't move.... but whatever, as long as our wonderful baby boy is here safe, sound, and healthy... although as a whole we got some great news about our baby... He is doing so good... They checked his heart and everything is growing as is should and everything measures correctly and is working just fine...

Well lets see... I am really new at this but i do have a myspace page, so I'm sure that I will catch on quickly...

Okay well, I am almost halfway through my fourth pregnancy although I miscarried my first two. I have one little boy already who is my world and am carrying our lil miracle baby... I have been havin complications with this pregnancy the whole time (since 5 Weeks) It has been a scarey road and we have thought we were going to loose this one too but so far so good... I love talking to people... that's really the only way that I have been able to keep my sanity... I like to think that I have great stength but this makes me weak so I have relied on those around me to help me... I thank everyone for that. Like I said before I am new and don't really know how everything works yet but I am on bed rest so I will have plenty of time to figure it all out... I will elaborate more on all aspects as time goes by so just check back in... ~LuVz*N*HuGz~
