Quick update

So the last couple of weeks have been crazy.  Two of my kids had a stomach bug which got passed on to me. For 2 days I couldn’t keep anything down. My kids loved that I was sick because I was so sick that I let them eat junk and watch cartoons all day. Then my van broke down. So I was without a car for at least a week because my husband works so much he didn’t have time to look at what was wrong with it. We ended up getting it towed to a shop. Come to find out it was a part we replaced in Aug so it was under warranty still. We only had to pay for labor! Now on to the baby, everything is going good. The IP’s came down on Nov 18^th for my doctor’s appt. Their faces where priceless when they heard the baby’s heartbeat, it was a great experience for me. They had a ton of questions for the doctor. It was nice to see them really get involved. Afterwards the IM wanted a picture with me and the belly. And if you know me I hate getting my picture taken.  But I let them take my picture. I go back on Dec 13^th for an Ultra Sound to see if the blood clot is still there and to find out the sex. I’m hoping the clot gone. After the Ultra Sound we are taking the kids to Disney. They are super excited and I am too. I’ll update again after the 13^th.

13wks

WOW!! Can't believe I'm 13 wks. Theses last couple of weeks have been flying by. So far I'm feeling pretty good, I still have morning sickness but hopefully that will go away soon. I've been trying to "Take it Easy" what ever does that mean when you have 3 kids? I still have the blood clot but we are hoping that will go away on its own. I recently switched doctors. I was seeing a doctor here in Lakeland and loved him but I don't want to deliver here in Lakeland. I had such a great experience at Winnie Palmer in Orlando. So because I want to deliver at Winnie Palmer I have to see a doctor who delivers there, so I am now seeing the doctor that delivered Nevaeh. I went and saw him on Oct 22nd. He informed me that this is a high risk pregnancy because of the blood clot and losing baby A. I go back on Nov 18th and I'm excited because the IP's are flying in for this appointment. I have made arrangements for the kids so I will be kid less for this appointment which is nice. I haven't taken a 13 wk belly pic but here is a 12 wk belly pic.

Sonogram results

Monday I went for my sonogram to see how many babies I was carrying. I was so excited to find out. At the beginning of the sonogram I got very excited I saw 2 babies. It was pretty awesome. But then the doctor gave me the bad news. Only one baby had a heart beat. That broke my heart. He also noticed that Baby A had a blood clot beside it. The blood clot isn't by Baby B so we don't have to worry about that right now. Baby B is measuring 8wks and 3 days right on track and has a very strong heart beat. I go back on Nov 1st.                                                                   Baby B

Waiting

So I'm pregnant...and now we wait till Oct 4th to find out if theres 2! :) I just started having morning sickness. Which totally sucks when you have 2 kids to get ready for school. I don't remember it being so bad when I was pregnant with my kids. Its amazing how we forget huh? Every morning Natalie asks me if the BABIES are making me sick. Yes, she says BABIES. Nathaniel likes to tell everybody he sees "My mom is having TWINS, but we're not keeping them" oh the looks I get. I like how everybody seems to know that theres 2 babies. We had to have a little talk with Nathaniel and Natalie. Not everybody needs to know our business. lol I always feel like I'm hungry no matter if I just ate an hr ago. Oh and getting up at 3am to eat? I don't remember doing this when I was pregnate before. Oh well maybe its a sign I need to eat more before I go to bed.
When we started this journey we went to a small church and had very few friends. Now we go to a huge church and have a ton of friends. Its a bit overwhelming. I'm not complaining its just going to take awhile to get use to everybody asking questions. Esp when you have a 4 and 7 yr old telling strangers. lol
I can't wait till Oct 4th I really want to know if my husband and kids are right. Is there really 2 babies?
Come back Oct 4th to find out. :)
