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 . . .

24 Weeks (again, a couple days late)

It's been an interesting week.  I'm finally getting over my sickness and I'm officially jobless?!?!?!?!  This is a little bit crazy to me, as I have not been jobless since I graduated from college (and even had jobs on and off working through college).  It feels odd.  Mostly good, but odd.

Nothing at all pregnancy related to report, except that my weight is on a rampage and I feel huge.  I knew it was coming, and it's only going to get much more extreme.  I'm fully expecting a weight lecture from my midwives next week.  Grand total at this point is like 15 pounds I think . . . Which means I have MORE than caught up for only being up 3-4 pounds at 12 weeks.  Oh well, what can you do?  I've been for the most part eating very balanced meals and not binging on many cravings at all, so I'm not going to worry about it.  I can't very well diet, so for now it is what it is.

Baby boy is a ninja in training.  I swear, for having an anterior placenta, he's crazy.  Much crazier than I anticipated.  But it's good.  I just told a coworker (er, ex-coworker) yesterday that movements have really saved my sanity - because this little one is very consistently active.

I did take a picture this week, but not in the standard format I have been taking them.  My husband wanted a real picture of me, so I obliged.  However, because I plan to keep this blog anonymous, I'm chopping my head off to share here.



See?  Not an exaggeration when I talk about the growth spurt we both seem to be having?!?!?!?!?!
