36 Weeks and Counting…
April 6, 2012 By 9 Comments
I still wake up and for that initial split second, I forgot that I am pregnant. Then I try to get out of bed. The months have slipped by and yet the weeks are dragging as I wait for this last month to conclude. I'm taking it day by day. From one perspective, my body is ready, but there is no question that I need some time to tie up loose ends, since it's a challenge now for me to do any one thing for a good length of time. Makes it hard to be productive on any given day. We had the weekly … [Read more...]

32 Weeks Pregnancy Update and Growth Scan Results
March 13, 2012 By 15 Comments
When the results from my sequential screening indicated that my PAPP-A results were abnormal, I didn't know what to think. I'd never heard of this test before, and had no idea it was part of the series, or whether I'd been tested for it before with Emma. I immediately searched the interwebs, which is never a good idea. All sorts of terrifying information came up including higher risk of birth defects to stillborn babies. Even though my doctors played it down, I was still so stressed … [Read more...]
Potty Training Victory (?) #WW
February 28, 2012 By 9 Comments
Well, the potty training road has been long and bumpy, but Emma is finally getting the hang of it. Just the other day, she started going #2. She quickly realized how happy Daddy and I were, and she knew she could use this to her advantage. We've been bribing encouraging her with little incentives here and there. Like this trip to the Disney Store, which put us $50 in the hole. Victory is sweet, but costly. … [Read more...]
#WW – Baby is a…
December 21, 2011 By 17 Comments
On Thursday we went for the 20-week ultrasound, otherwise known as the anatomy scan. The tension was building as the technician shot all of the pictures during this unusually long ultrasound. Of course on our minds was wanting a healthy baby first and foremost... ...but we both were eager to learn the sex of our baby. Emma was being especially difficult during the ultrasound. She was carrying on and asking for things we didn't have, which honestly is pretty unusual for her. I kept asking … [Read more...]

My little baby girl isn't so little anymore. She's three years old today - they grow so fast! This photo was taken yesterday during her birthday party. Unfortunately, it's the best picture I could get...heads blocking her in every which way! Happy Birthday, Emma. You are so loved! … [Read more...]

17 Weeks Pregnancy Update and a PAPP-A Deficiency
November 23, 2011 By 3 Comments
This week I found out the results of my sequential screening. This screening tests for Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21), Patau Syndrome (Trisomy 13) and open neural tube defects. The only reason I test for this is so that I can get that extra ultrasound at 12 weeks. I'll jump at any opportunity to see my baby-in-progress. It would also be helpful for us to be mentally prepared in the event that there was some type of abnormality with the baby, but I would never consider terminating a pregnancy if … [Read more...]
