24 WEEKS!!! 6 MONTHS!!! THANKSGIVING DAY!!!!!!!

HOW BIG IS MY BABY? By the book, baby's weight is 1 1/2 pounds and crown to rump 8.5 inches long. This is where the ultrasound tech said he was 2 weeks ago hummmm!

WHAT CHANGES ARE OCCURRING IN MY BABY? Baby is filling out. But still very tiny. Baby's nostrils begin to open. Baby has developed a predictable sleep pattern. If he has hair it now has color. baby can hear deep voices (like Daddy's) more that higher pitched female voices.

HOW BIG AM I? Weighed later this weeks at 24 weeks and 6 days. I was 241 pounds which is still -15 pounds since the day I found out. Thanksgiving was good! Grammy's turkey and dressing and Momma's potato salad and baked beans YUMMMMM!

HOW AM I FEELING? Still great. Having trouble bending over, getting up, breathing, and tieing my shoes.... say not a word!

HOW IS MY HUBBY FEELING? He's doing great. I think he's really getting excited. We are plannig on painting the nursery. LOVE the theme we picked. LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!

QUESTIONS FOR MY DR? Plesenta placement? Can we tell by the ultrasound? Is it cover my cervix or my scar (from my previous c section)

THINGS TO DO THIS WEEK: Eat thanksgiving.... done....Recover....not just yet :) Need to look into prenatal classes and get signed up.

SPECIAL THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS ABOUT THIS WEEK: 12-1-2010 10:30 am for some reason you know I'm writing about you. Very active right now!

23 Weeks

HOW BIG IS MY BABY? By the book it says you are almost 1 pound and crown to rump 8 inches. the size of a small doll.

WHAT CHANGES ARE OCCURRING IN MY BABY? Gaining weight. Eyes are still closed for a few more weeks.

HOW BIG AM I? Still the same -18 pounds. Thanksgiving is next weeks though!!! :0)

HOW AM I FEELING? Still pretty good. Back hurts a little and is getting a little tuff to bend over.

QUESTIONS FOR MY DOCTOR: Wanted to go over "birth plan" with him. Med he will use and such.

THINGS TO DO THIS WEEK: Get ready for Thanksgiving!!! Work on getting the baby's room straightened. We are gonna paint soon so we still need to decide a color.

SPECIAL THOUGHTS AND FEELING ABOUT THIS WEEK: Your movements are getting stronger as each week passes. I think I've figured out how you are sitting. OK position of the baby. If someone were facing me. I feel most of my movements in the bottom left hand side(my left) where I think would be your feet. And some lighter frequent movement on my upper right hand side. I occasionally feel some thumps and pushes down my right side which I thinking is you moving your arms up and down your body. I love it!!

ADVICE FOR OTHER PREGOS: If your back has been hurting half as much as mine try this little trick each night for some temporary relief. Sit on your couch. with your back up against on of the arms. Place a throw pillow behind you and bend back ever so slightly, don't go doing a back bend or nothing. I do this and it helps take some tension out of my lower back. If this doesn't work tell your hubby to put his hands to work... messaging your back that is. :)

To my fav TTCER: Still thinking of you and praying for you hun!

My heart breaks for you

I read your posts and I can't reply,
my heart breaks for you.

God knows I feel so selfish,
because I have not one blessing but 2.

A daughter any parent would dream of,
sweet, sincere, loving and helpful too.

My second blessing growing inside,
my baby boy, it's true.

I took for granted that pregnancy happens so easily. Then God held my hand down a road that proved me wrong. It only took 18 grueling months to get the + that changed our lives. In a moment the tears of sadness went away. Every tear of pain I cried was worth it. I only love my children more. But my heart still breaks for you. When I look into the room that I thought would never be filled and see it start to, my heart breaks for you. When I feel all those sweet little kicks, my heart breaks for you. When I hear his heart beat, my heart breaks for you. When my husband talks to my belly, my heart breaks for you.

They say pregnancy is the happiest time in your life. But in all this love I still feel your pain, and remember the one I once was. My heart breaks for you.
I pray to God every night that you conceive, that you and your child will be healthy and happy. I pray He takes your tears of pain and turns them to tears of joy. My sister I wish I could be there is person to be your shoulder to cry on. Because my heart breaks for you. Just remember you are never alone.

With all my heart,
Cheryl
