Baby Update!

Ok, I need to think up a nickname for the new one, since we still refer to Cam as the baby. And it will be that way for as long as we can!! In ultrasounds, it's kinda looking like a Teddy Graham, so maybe? We'll see!

Anyway, last week I went in for the precautionary cerclage that we are hoping will keep me off of bed rest this time around. With Cameron, they didn't notice anything wrong until the 20th week, at which time he was pretty much getting ready to arrive. So they stitched me up and put me on bed rest for the last half of the pregnancy. Due to the surgery, pregnancy and bed rest, I developed DVT, or a blood clot, at week 22 and was put on blood thinners. So we started those this time around to be proactive. Hopefully all of these precautionary measures will help to keep things going well! Now, I'll do anything it takes to get a healthy baby, don't get me wrong! But giving myself the shots kinda sucks and recovering from the surgery wasn't that fun! The spinal took a real toll on my stomach and I was sick for a few days after, not to mention my back! But I'm not complaining. Just not the funnest few days! I did get to hear the heart beat before and after and things sounded great. I am 14 weeks now, and the babe is about the size of a lemon. I have an ultrasound at 16 weeks to check the cerclage and I'm hoping they will be able to tell me the sex. If not, I go in on Sept 22nd for the Big One!

Any predictions??

So that's all the new news with that! I haven't been doing much of anything besides recovering, so nothing exciting to report! Hopefully this weekend well have some late summer fun with some great pictures to post!!
