Hi, and welcome. This blog has changed a bit recently. My husband and I fought through 4 consecutive losses to get our second healthy child (born in December 2012) . . . and while we had not shut the door on the idea of another pregnancy, we certainly were leaning in that direction. On August 8, 2014, we found out we are pregnant for the 7th time. A total surprise. So the neurotic journey continues . . . third child or fifth loss . . . I'm scared and confused and just a teensy bit excited . . .

A quick appointment update

What a day.

It started with the gag-inducing drink (aka glucose test). Within 15 minutes I had a headache.

Followed by my midwife not being able to find the baby's heartbeat. Yeah. You read that right. Thankfully I "only" had to wait through 5 minutes of her trying and 5 minutes getting into the ultrasound room to reveal baby is still well - and cozily tucked behind what is an extremely anterior (as centered as it gets) placenta. The placenta is also a bit low right now - so we'll be keeping a close eye on where it moves.

That was then followed by blood work with a new lab tech who was more interested in talking to me about her daycare issues than she was with trying not to gouge my vein out of my arm. (And I'm no rookie when it comes to blood work!)

And I've had a headache with somewhat distorted/blurry vision throughout the day. I definitely have sugar issues.

So despite the stress, all is still well in baby land. Anatomy scan is scheduled for 9/6.

Time for Tylenol and bed.
