26 weeks 2 days
Time has really flown! Its seems just yesterday we were talking about IVF and here we are counting down to a baby! wow.. I am amazed, blessed an astounded to have made it here thus far. I'm still in disbelief that there is acually a living being floating in my belly .. MY BELLY!! OMG .. I Am so happy it unbelievable . We both are and the grandparents and our whole families are happy and excited!
Let me catch you guys up on whats has been going on over here.
We saw our regular RE up until 12 weeks, after the nucal fold test we were given the OK to see a regular OBGYN.
I scheduled to see the OBGYN at 16 weeks thinking that the initial visit will cover the ultrasound for gender. Hubby came with me. The OBGYN was affiliated with the same network of doctors so i assumed when they told me they will get my records form the RE's office thattehy would.. This was not the case. The first OBGYN visit was a bust because nothing can be done until they had my medical record. Up until this part we have had no complications or upset. No bleeding and only one night did i have a nasty cramp that lasted about 10 mins.. no bleeding .. so we were OK .
So we were upset and had to leave that day with no gender, we had already told people we would be finding out that day and were so disappointed. So we hustled to find a private gender place close to us which we did and saw the following weekend.
If you follow my YouTube channel you can see a video of the actually gender check and we have a lil funny story behind it too. I'll get into that later in another blog.
So we found out we were having a lil Pink Princess! Yes a baby Girl!
My hubby and his mom were super happy on that note since they both preferred a girl. I had no preference and my mom preferred a boy since she has two granddaughters already.
So we progressed along as normal.
At 20 weeks i had my anatomy scan. We were told thinks look normal.. she was growing on schedule.
I get a call a week or so later saying i have to see a High risk type doctor to see about a abnormality with the baby's cord. So I'm really worried atthsi point and asked for more info and all the nurse would tell me is its not something urgent , just something the doctor wanted a second look into.
So .. we see the specialist and he informs us that the cord is inserted into the placenta too close to the cervix and we had marginal insertion so the fetal veins could actually be growing into the membrane..!! so that would mean that if my water broke then the baby could bled out and be stillborn witha vaginal delivery.
So C-Section was the option.
I see him again in couple of weeks to see if any changes and see if we are stil going wit that route. Until then I'm educating myself on the technique, the care before and after so that I'm ready either way.
So that's whats been going on medically. I haven't had any symptoms.. as far as morning sickness and such .. i had heart burn here and there .. nothing to write home about..
I'll catch you guys up on the rest later on .. TTYL XOXO

Long Time..No See
So everybody, hope you haven't missed me too much.. I have been MIA for quite some time. Extra busy over here with moves, job changes, and a bunch of other stuff. But that's ok we all are hopefully on the other side of that drama and headed for the good part. So far I am 25 weeks 6 days pregnant .. please disregard my lil floating baby thing to the side. I haven't been able to correct the date since the day I put it in. Hopefully i can fix it later. Our lil bean is growing fine and healthy last that we checked. We have some nice and not so nice updates to catch you guys up on bu I'll go into all of it in a follow up blog i will post later this week. I will try to post at least once a week to give you guys a follow up on whats been going on.. in the meantime ..Peace XOXO

10 weeks 2 days ..Feeling Fine
Hello Guys .. I know i been MIA for a while but I have been so overwhelmed with this ole thing called life on top of being pregnant I'm happy to say. Even though life has been a bit rocky lately my pregnancy has been very stable. feel very blessed and give all praise and glory to God for bring us her thus far.
I haven't had any morning sickness to speak of. My only annoyance is the gastrointestinal issues i have been having with gas and belly aches. It has caused some discomfort especially at work where i do a lot of sitting. Also i have been battling the fatigue that comes with the territory, but we all have to deal with it so our babies can be provided with a healthy food supply. So i welcome the naps and early nights.
I have noticed my clothes are increasingly tighter and tighter. I don't want to get any new clothes until at least 12-13 weeks.So i have to hold off by using my " fat" day clothes and dresses. On what was my last visit with my RE at 10 weeks 1 days we say out lil peanut dance in the womb, he had to press on my stomach a lil to make him really go at it.. me and my hubby stood mesmerized by the image on the screen .. ,.. in wonder that that was actually going on inside me.. we were humbled and amazed. And we still are and will probably remain so for quite some time..
