Baby's Name

Her name is Victoria Addison. :)

It's a Girl

Blankets, bears, & bump....Oh my!

I'm 16 weeks today. In 2 hours we will hopefully know if we are having a boy or a girl. YAY! I have 1 hour left until I have to drink 32 oz. of water. Now that sounds like fun.

I have been busy working on the blankets. I did finish both of them since I started both of them. I also made two bears for the baby.

I'll update with the gender when I get home.

15 weeks

So I'm 15 weeks now. How did that happen? I'm doing awesome. Not much really to update on. I have my ultrasound in 5 days and I have my 16 week appointment on the 2nd of May. Ian has recovered well and he is no longer milking it. lol. This is going to be a short post so I'll end with a bump picture.

No more babies after this one....

It's officially, after this little one is born, there will be no more babies made by us. Ian got snipped this morning. I'm relieved that its no longer a worry but yet sad because it ends this chapter of our lives. However, as my best friends mom (my second mother) told me, I spent the majority of my 20's pregnant, its now time to enjoy my children and watch them grow.

Countdown until we find out the gender is down to 12 days. Wow, wasn't 21 a couple days ago?

I'm doing good, actually other than being tired and having no energy, I don't feel pregnant. Which is a complete change from my last 4 pregnancies.

I did listen to the babies heart beat tonight and it was 158. I love the fact that I could hear it. Now I just wish I would start getting kicks, so I can stop worrying.

14 weeks

14 weeks today. My only complaint is, I'm always tired. It doesn't matter if I sleep 8 or 12 hours, I'm always tired.

I put my ultrasound pictures on in-gender.com and all the girls on there and even one of the techs, all said that the baby was a girl.

That kind of had me down because I really want a little boy. Of course I would because I already have 4 girls. When I say that this is my last chance to ever have a son, I'm not joking. Ian is getting snipped on Friday. This will be our last baby and tonight and tomorrow will be the last time I have a husband with functioning male parts. Regardless, of the sex of the baby, I will still love it. I loved and still love the last 3 girls even though I wanted a boy.

However, I do having a feeling that this baby is a boy. :)

Results

NT screening results came back and everything is normal. I love hearing that.

15 more days until we found out the sex of the baby.

tomorrow I'll be 14 weeks.

Photos

Tasha took these pictures of my growing belly tonight. I love all of them. 

21 days to go

I made my gender scan appointment. We will be finding out the gender on April 27th at 5:30 pm. I can't wait until we find out.  

Hello Second Trimester

I'm a few hours early but I can't wait until tomorrow morning.

My NT scan went well. The baby is very healthy. "He" looked amazing. I'm saying he because I think that he is a he. lol. The lady looked at Twin A and it hasn't gotten smaller nor has it gotten bigger and there was still no heart beat. Heart breaking....yes. But I have given myself a little bit of time to be sad. Now I have to focus on the healthy baby. As I laid there today, it was funny to me. I thought that I was done having babies and there I was in awe over the little being growing in side of me. I love this little one and I can't wait to meet him.

Also here is my 13 week bump. 

I'm making my appointment tomorrow for my gender scan. I'm going to try and make it on the 27th of this month. I can't wait. I'm actually super excited about this pregnancy.

NT Scan in 2.5 hours

I have my NT scan today.

I had a dream last night that there was 2 babies when they did my NT scan. I know that I'm probably in denial about the whole situation. But in my heart I hope my dream is true. My mother in law is going with me today but I wish Ian could go too. He can't take off work because he is having his snip job done next friday. I'm sick of being a ball of nerves.

All I prayed for was for the twins to be healthy. What doesn't make senses is I don't fall in the the list of people for vanishing twin.

I didn't have IVF, I'm not over 30 and we seen both heartbeats. It breaks my heart knowing this. I wish that it was all a bad dream.

I'm keeping faith and praying for a miracle to happen.

Wish me luck and say a prayer for me.

12 weeks 5 days.

Sorry for the week in between posts. With being an emotional mess, Kinleigh turning one, my 28th birthday and Kinleigh's birthday party, I have had no time to actually think about what I wanted to post about.

I will say that I'm holding on to hope and faith that the baby was just hiding. Alexis, Trinity & Alayna are all insisting that they are both there. I pray that they are right because I don't think I can bare to see the 3 of them upset again. However, I know that the out for the missing baby is bleak. I do question the location of where the doctor said it was the vanishing twin. The more I look at my scan, the more I think the doctor was in the wrong area. I know that it is me being in denial about the situation.

The night before I found out I was carrying twins, I caught myself searching the internet on signs of carrying twins. The morning of my appointment last monday I found myself googling vanishing twin. Early today I caught myself googling vanishing twin reappeared and missed twin at 11 weeks. I don't know what I'm thinking but I do know that I'm keeping faith.

It doesn't help that I look like I'm 20 + weeks pregnant. I finally broke down today when I realized that there is only one baby now.

I do have an ultrasound tomorrow at 12:45. I pray that the appointment goes well and that I have at least one healthy baby. Please keep me and my family in your thoughts and prayers tonight and tomorrow. I do believe that miracles can happen.

I'll try to update tomorrow after my appointment. If not tomorrow I'll do it on Wednesday for sure.
