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 . . .

21 weeks - Still puking

Oh how I wish that was a joke.  Being unbearably sick between weeks 14-16 was a cruel joke.  Feeling mostly better between weeks 17-19 was amazing.  Back to puking regularly between 19-21 . . . Well yeah.  I'm fucking over it.  And I haven't used that word on this blog in a LONG time.

In other news, our anatomy scan went well.  Baby boy is still a boy.  He is only measuring about 4 days ahead of my due date - which is much smaller than my other boys have measured.  This is a welcome change for me . . . Not worrying about a giant baby (at least not yet).  I'm sure it's a function of my sickness and my own weight gain.  Pretty sure I was up 15-20 pounds by the halfway point in my previous pregnancies (maybe more in my first).  I'm currently hovering anywhere between +/- 3 for the entire pregnancy so far.  Today was a bad puking day so I'm back down to -3.  

All of my test results, including AFP which was abnormal in my last pregnancy, and the early glucose test have all been normal.  So really there isn't baby monitoring to happen from here on out.  Just normal appointments.  Crazy, huh?

Damn, I wish I could just stop puking.
