A moment in our arms, a lifetime in our hearts.

So much for holding steady... the tail end of this week has seen way too many 140s spikes... some as high as 147/75!

Everything is back down to normal today and I'll take it extra easy. If they pop back up again we'll text our dr.

14 weeks i'm just counting down the weeks to my 20 week ultrasound. Kinda hoping I can talk my dr into doing it at 18 weeks instead of waiting till 20. 20 weeks is my somewhat relief point, 20 weeks is when we founf out our chances of bringing Trinity home alive were very slim!!! I'll start the 17p in two weeks! Ugh I hate he waiting game. At 20 weeks if all is okay I'll have Lauren add me to the top! I haven't felt to many flutters over the last few days and I know I'm still really early but can't wait till I feel them regularly!

I'll keep fingers crossed you can squeeze in an 18 week u/s too!

Laura~Jamez mom

Lauren I hope that the BP stayed down and will stay down. No more spikes. Hope you were able to take it easy.

Samantha yay for 14 weeks. Fingers crossed that they can get you in a little sooner then 20 weeks. Maybe 19 weeks, that's when I had mine was 19 weeks 4 days. The waiting is no fun.

So I'm 33 weeks 3 days now. I'm still feeling really good. My next doctor appointment is May 14. Then I have my 36 week appointment for the strep test at May 30. I never made it that far for the test. I don't really know what to expect.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Laura- So awesome things are going so well! The strep test is just annoying... like a pap... doesn't hurt or anything.

So far so good this weekend, back below 140/90 so yippee. Last week's beach day seemed to bring everything to it's lowest point so we'll try that again today.

Found a Dr that will do u/s for 50 at 16 weeks they can determine the sex!!! I have an appointment for the 18th! Ohh I can't wait all old wives tales, Chinese gender chat, and the intelegender test all say girl! I hope their all right however either way ill be stoked as long as baby it healthy, girl or boy!

After a quick trip to the er due.to.very sharp pains in my right.side I'm relieved.to know it is just my round ligaments stretching. But ohh man do they hurt! I did get to see baby and even got to see baby sucking his/her thumb! Baby looks good, fluid levels look good, baby's the right size for 15 weeks... over all glad I got to see baby but wish this pain would go away!!!

So I kept saying that I was going to get some pictures of me. Well for mothers day I asked my mom to take some of me. I'm now 34 weeks =). I can't believe the difference in how I'm carring Kai and how I carried Jamez. Here are some pictures.

I don't feel good today! I can't even tell anyone what's wrong! Just blah feeling... can't wait till Friday, just wish I felt better and was enjoying all this, can't wait to put my guard down!

Went to the labs to pick up my oh so fun jug this morning.. lady was like, "good night momma, just take a bunch!" Yeah. If I never see an orange jug again in my life it will be alright with me.

Mom to Tucker (27 weeker, 05/26/06)

Laura, beautiful pics!

Lauren, well....look at it this way, as long as you are doing 24 hour urine collections with the orange jug, it means you are still pregnant

And that maybe you have another chance to ace the test! Just trying here, the one 24 hour urine collection that I did was not fun, DH laughed at me the whole time.

Samantha, I hope you feel better, although I am 5 weeks ahead of you and I only feel better during an U/S. It does help that I feel the baby move around a few times a day, but he's still too little to feel him constantly.

I have more constant and strong round ligament pain since 20 weeks...yay, bring on the "normal" symptoms, haha! BP still looks great, but of course it looked great at 20 weeks with Tucker, too.

So hoping that this time it stays that way!

Leigh- I like your reframe!

I'm feeling pretty good that this week's will be the same as it's been... holding steady at 400... which of course still isn't great, but it's not awful either. Because I mean, come on... a gal couldn't possibly get bad news 3 times in a row at a 29 week appointment!

I do not want to see an orange jug!!!!! I hated them! I can't wait to see our bean on Friday and can't wait to find out if we are team blue or team pink! Oh course I want a healthy baby but if I am honesty I am really hoping for team pink, is that bad? Of course either way I'll be ecstatic, just with being the last I would just love to do Barbie and bows instead of army men and sports! Only a few more days! Hugs to you all!

Mom to Tucker (27 weeker, 05/26/06)

Lauren, that's great about the no bad news at the appt!

Samantha, I am very excited to learn what you are having, share as soon as you know!

Well I am 21 weeks now, starting to get even more nervous than before, wasn't sure that was possible! Last time we were just 6 weeks away from delivering and had no idea. My next MFM appt is on June 8.

DH is always laughing at my pregnant self...last night his parents took us out to eat for my b-day. Bread pudding is our favorite dessert, so we ordered it, but I asked the waiter to put the rum sauce on the side. He said that is the best part. I said, "I don't one any rum sauce on it, not one bit. I am pregnant, do you understand?" DH thought this was hilarious, as when the rum sauce gets cooked, the alcohol is really cooked out. He is sure that the waiter spit in our dessert after I was so bossy to him.

I just know that there are a million things that could go wrong, why add to it by eating rum sauce?

I need some help!

Tucker has been very sweet throughout the pregnancy, today I asked him "who is in momma's tummy?" he said "baby brudder" I asked "what is his name?" he said "baby brudder." How cute!
We decided to name him Easton John, so now we need to start teaching Tucker his name. But it would be cute if he just called him brudder for a while.

Leigh- That's pretty funny! I love the name... sooo handsome, like I know this lil' one is going to be. And may no shoes drop between now and the next six weeks or the next 19!

Samantha- CONGRATS!! So glad baby looked great. I guess maybe Trinity wanted to be sure she was your one and only sweet girl.

Yep 29 weeks... how crazy is that? Good feelings from appointment are semi squashed as I realized I gained 5lbs in one week... and I think at least 3-4 the previous... putting me already at 30lbs I'm lookin' a lil swollen all around, though since I started as a stick, it doesn't look awful, but something to wonder about. Come on kidneys.. work work work!
