About me...

I am 27. This is my second pregnancy. My first was last year, it was unexpected as I was on birth control. So, when I saw the positive pregnancy test, it through my life into a whirl-wind! My boyfriend and I had only been together 6 months and had just started our lives together... I had an ultrasound at 6 weeks (for dating purposes) and everything looked great, there was a strong heartbeat and I embraced the pregnancy almost immediately. I've always wanted to me a mom and couldn't wait for the arrival of our sweet little baby. We had decided on a girls name and had a few boys names picked out too, we were excited! We told our families almost right away and then our friends a few weeks later, around 10 weeks. At 12 weeks I went for my second ultrasound and new right away that something was wrong... It turned out the baby had stopped developing at 9 weeks (they could tell this by the measurements) and no longer had a heartbeat. My body just didn't recognize that the baby had died and continued to be pregnant. I was mortified! I always thought of miscarriages as being painful and having blood and knowing what was happening. But, this...my doctor called it a "missed" miscarriage and said it only happens in about 1% of pregnancies. I had a D&C that same week and suffered with the loss everyday. I knew then more than any other moment in my life that I wanted to be a mom more than anything else. My boyfriend and I decided to take things slow but agreed that we would get married within the next year or so and start our family. I didn't go back on birth control, we chose to use condoms instead and low and behold here I am pregnant! Again unplanned but, we always knew there was a chance... I am ecstatic for the pregnancy but, so fearful of another miscarriage. Because I went 3 weeks without even knowing I had lost the first baby, I wonder everyday if the same thing has already happened and I don't even know...

March 5, 2008 - Had my first appointment today with my ob. Despite the long wait, everything went really well. He answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns. He even did a quick ultrasound so we could take a look at the little peanut and that sweet little heartbeat, he said everything looked good and measured approx. 9wks/5days. He said I can come back every Wednesday morning to have a quick ultrasound and see the heartbeat. It sure eases my mind for the moment knowing that I will know everything is ok, at least once a week!

March 12, 2008 - Going to my weekly appointment tomorrow morning to see the "little peanut" on ultrasound. I'll then be going on vacation for a week. So, I'll let everyone know how it goes when I get back!

March 23, 2008 - Back from vacation! Baby looked healthy and saw the heartbeat on the 13th. It's such a good feeling! My next ultrasound is on April 2nd and I'll follow up with the doc the following week on the 9th. April 2nd seems soooooo far away!

April 2, 2008 - Went for my ultrasound today. It was so amazing! I balled when I saw the heartbeat. The baby was stretching his/her legs and waving his/her arms, it was like watching a little acrobat! I got to hear the heartbeat too! I've never felt so happy!

May 14, 2008 - Had another u/s last week. It went great! I'm having a GIRL! We're so excited! Everything went really well all the blood tests and u/s show a beautiful healthy baby girl! She actually measured 19 weeks 1 day and I was only 18 weeks 1 day when I went for the u/s. Doc didn't say anything about changing my due date though. That's ok. It's awesome to know she's healthy!
