The Eve of 7.
Tomorrow I will be the mother of a 7 year old. The child that I yearned for and couldn’t wait to mother. Now, I am a mother twice over. I ask myself if I’ve been the type of mother thus far that I’ve always hoped to be? The answer is yes and no. I have Continue reading

Birth Story & 3 weeks old!
I truly wish I were better at updates! Xander Ryan was born on 6/14 at 7:20am and shares a birthday with his mommy (Heather). We are settling in well and big brother Silas just couldn’t be more in love with his baby. I had a scheduled induction due to the cholestasis on 6/13, arrived at Continue reading

OB appointment update & a diagnosis
My last appointment was on 1/12 (15w5d) and baby’s heartbeat was nice and strong still, 163 bpm. We went over the lab work I asked to be drawn to check my bile acid levels as I’d experienced itching on my ankle a few weeks prior. Well… I’ve been formally diagnosed with ICP AGAIN. It’s really Continue reading

15+2
My last ultrasound and appointment with the fertility clinic was back on December 8th. I was 10w5d and spud measured in at 11w4d. Heartbeat was good at 164bpm! I had my first OB appointment on December 15th with my new OB (luckily the same MA!). The doctor seemed nice enough, she was more serious than Continue reading

Ultrasound #3- 8w6d
Everything continues to look great with spud! We will have our 4th and last ultrasound in two weeks then we are released to the OB! Guess I should schedule that appointment 😂 my OB from Silas’ pregnancy is no longer with the practice, but is on call at the hospital still. The MA has another Continue reading

Ultrasound #2!
I had the second ultrasound back on the 11th and everything continues to look good with growth and heart rate. The SCH is still there. My next ultrasound is the 25th and will be with the Doctor as the NP will be out of town. I’m curious to hear what he says about the SCH Continue reading

Ultrasound Update
We had our first ultrasound today at 5w6d and spud (baby’s nickname) was measuring 2 days ahead at 6w1d and we saw and heard the heartbeat at 122bpm! I do have an SCH, but since I had the same with Silas, the NP isn’t concerned. It looks the same and everything… spooky. EDD is 7/1 Continue reading
