Well I got pulled off work....finally! My boss is an ass. A couple of weeks ago I passed out at work, and he wouldn't let me leave. I was puking and everything and nope...I had to stay. So I went to the OB a few days later, and she said enough is enough. And pulled me off. Wanna know the good thing? No spotting since! I feel pretty good right now actually!!
She did check my cervix, and is a little concerned about preterm labour still.....but things are good so far.
I had more blood work to make sure my rh factor is staying balanced.....and had a flu shot. Boy does your arm hurt after! I see the OB on Monday for another rogham shot and then on the 22nd I go for my GD test......
Baby is great!! He kicks like crazy now, and you can see him moving. Like waves that roll over my tummy, or things that poke out and you can actually touch them. I felt a foot the other day....so small and soooo cute! I was sitting in the OB's office and a young girl was beside me (that was newly pregnant) and my baby started his show....well the poor girl looked soooo freaked out, and I tried to cover him, but my belly is too big to cover with anything anymore, so I just smiled at her, and said dont worry it feels really cool. I dont know if it helped.....
I am starting to nest too. I have done more baking in 2 weeks then I have in my entire life! And for some reason I must freeze everything!! So we have a freezer FULL off cookies...if anyone wants some..haha. I have been freaking about baby stuff. We have nothing still. Our room is still full of junk, and still has its ugly white walls. The crib we want is going to take 6-8 weeks to some in. I only have 3 months left!!! I found some bedding that we both liked and are going to register soon at babies r us.
I was suspose to be christmas shopping yesterday but couldn't help buying the cutest hat for him...I was more excited about the hat then the presents!
Well I am defiantly in the fun part of pregnancy now! Even though I waddle like I'm 9 months and dont sleep at all, I love every minute of it. I love having a belly, even if everyone stares at you. And I am dieing to meet him!!

22 weeks 3 days
Well I know I have been bad at updating my blog.....but I honestly dont have much going on. The pregnancy is going great! Baby is very active. I could lay there for hours and feel his little kicks.....even DH loves to feel them.
We haven't started the baby room or anything yet. I am excited to get started on that stuff, but am so tired by the end of the day, all I want to do is sleep.
My boss is still treating me like crap. Its so hard to complete a whole day now. I can barely walk (I am getting pretty big) and everything hurts...and he wont even let me take a break, or eat something. I meet my OB again on Monday and I'm hoping she just pulls me off. Besides its getting so close now I dont see why she wouldn't.
I am getting so excited now. In the past 2 weeks we know 3 people that have had babies, and it makes us both more and more excited! My dh is soooo eager to get started on things.
I have signed up for some prenatal yoga classes that start at the beginning of Jan and they end the day before our prenatal classes start....It will keep me busy atleast.
I hope everyone else is doing well.......I just thought I'd throw a quick update out there.

Well the verdict is in.....
ITS A BOY!!! And not a shy guy either.....
Yesterday was a pretty exciting day. We finally got to see our baby again. I could hardly stop tearing up long enough, to see anything. There we sat looking at a perfect profile pic on the screen, when suddenly he turned to look at us, raised his hand, and gave us the finger! It was sooo funny! We even have a picture of it (where it actually turns out to be his index finger but still, it was like he was telling us to be quiet)
Everything else turned out to be perfect. They didn't even see why I was bleeding, so now the dr thinks its external. If it happens again then I have to go to yet, another specialist. But until then dh and I even got the ok for some bd.....which we haven't done in 14 weeks! I'm nervous about it still, but he's pretty excited.
So back to work I go this week, and see what happens......
I am so greatful everyday for this miracle, and actually feel like its happening now. I saw my little boy!!!

Prayers for a friend, and some much needed bedrest
Well I have 2 things I wanted to write about.
First, I wanted everyone who has gotten pregnant (with drugs or without) to understand how lucky they actually are. I have a cyber friend named Billy Blue Youkon and she is having a hard time. She has now had 5 missed m/c's and has been told by the fertility clinic there is nothing else they can do. How does someone take that news? She wants so BADLY to be a mother, and someone actually had to look her in the face and tell her, its not going to happen. I wish I could do something to help the hurt she is feeling. She asks how I'm doing, and I feel guilty telling her (even though I am having my own problems, I still got to experience this miracle). They are now taking steps for adoption, and I hope things move fast. Her and her dh have waited long enough!
And Second.....I had my OB appointment yesterday. The OB thinks the bleeding might be the hemmorage getting bigger, and pulled me off work for a week until I have my next u/s. Then we meet with her again to find out what is happening. It sucks because they always have to prepare you for the worst, but when she started talking about surgery, tieing my uterus shut, early delivery and c-sections....I got quite upset. So again I spend this week of rest praying that my bean is ok, and we see all good stuff at the u/s on Monday.

So I have been bleeding...still. And it seems to be getting worse. It comes and goes....
When will this end? I want to enjoy this pregnancy, but when can that happen?
I hear the little heartbeat everytime I see blood and it helps me stay sane, but I still pray non stop for my little bean.
Being 17 weeks, you'd think that things would be going more smoothly.
I am counting down the days until my next OB appointment, and still pray its all good news.

15 weeks, one strong heartbeat, and some little baby kicks....
Well I'm happy to announce that I have made it this far! It still feels like such a strange dream, and I just need to wake up.
I had my first OB appointment 2 weeks ago (I know I'm a bad girl, and not updating sooner) but it went great! She even told me why I was spotting for the past 10 weeks. I had my shot, and now I feel....more safe.
I actually felt better for about 2 days.....it scared the crap outta me. But dont worry I'm back to the ol' puking my guts out, and I feel much, much better. The OB was alittle concerned that I only have gained 3 lbs so far, but said everything was looking perfect.....Including the most amazing thing I have heard so far! A heartbeat going 168 bpm.....
And then theres the KICKS! Thats right, little flutters, but not gas....every now and then. Its when you LEAST expect it, and oh so distracting! I love it, and cant wait for them to happen more and more.
I thank God everyday for this little miracle

It doesn't get easier....
I always thought being pregnant would be easier then dealing with IF.
I always thought that things would just go so smoothly after everthing I had been through.
I always thought that it would be the first time in 2 1/2 years I could finally RELAX.
I think I was wrong....
RH- blood. Not good. If the baby has a positive blood type (which is most likely) and our blood mixes, then my body will attack it like its not suspose to be there. Fine I need to get some needles to fix the problem. One at 26 weeks and a bunch after I deliver (or no more children for Cj) BUT.....
I'm STILL spotting. Thats right, going on 6 weeks now. Oh it comes and goes, but its there. Everytime I use the potty, I dread the wipe...you never know if it will be pink. And now with it is coming cramps. Could be stretching I suspose.....
My OB cant see me until the 23rd, and my dr only works Mondays. So I have to wait all weekend, then god knows how long before I get another answer, as to whats going on.
I keep thinking, what if its the placenta??? If it is, then that can be bad, with my blood type. Why isn't anyone else worried about my future but me? I hate the dr's here. I was suspose to get a stat u/s, and they couldn't do anything for 2 months!!!! Well hello, I'm sure in 2 months, I'll know if things are progressing the way they should!!!
This might sound horrible, but I'm finding it so hard to get to attached to my little bean. Dont get me wrong, I love it, I'm happy, I wouldn't change it for the world. But my natural defences are worried, that I'm going to be even more hurt in the end. I wish I could just enjoy this time. But honestly, with a new part of my journey, has come new stresses.
I am praying that my little bean is ok.
