I am 16 weeks into this new pregnancy. I had an appt. this past week and all seems OK so far. Heartrate was in the 140's. We talked about future appointments and the appointment with the MFM doc. I have an ultrasound set for this Tuesday to check my cervical length and he said they'll take a peak and see if we can see 4 chambers of the heart...and maybe see the sex too :)
How far along?: 16 weeks
How big is baby?: no clue and too lazy to look it up
Weight Gain?: 10ish pounds.
Maternity Clothes?: Pants and some tops
Sleep?: I've had insomnia and hate it! Just toss and turn.
Best moment this week?: Amelia NOT getting chicken pox!
Food Cravings?: Not really craving anything.
Gender?: I had one pregnancy dream and I had a boy in it..he was the size of a six month old and was wearing black glasses. In the beginning of the pregnancy, all I could think about was having another girl...now all I think about is having a boy...we'll see!
Stretch Marks: None
Movement?: maybe little things, but nothing definite. Wondering if the placenta is anterior again.
What I miss?: Having energy and getting a break
Belly Button?: Still in
Labor Signs?: none
What I'm looking forward to?: Finding out the health of this baby
Nursery progress: There is no nursery here in our small apartment! The baby will be in with us :)
Main symptoms this week: Fatigue, blah feeling, food doesn't taste right, emotional, round ligament pain
I wanted to do a little update of Amelia too. She had a check-up this past week. Her height, weight and head circumference all are in the 30-40th percentile. The doctor said she is very proportional. For some reason she seems bigger than that to me, but she is just below the average I guess. And the biggest news, today is day 1 of weaning her. It's surprising how sad I have been today about this. It's a stage coming to a close, I will miss my time with her. Thankfully she still likes to rock and cuddle, but again, this is a time I will never get back with her. Pat said, well you'll be nursing another baby in July...yeah, that's true, but not Amelia. My milk had pretty much dried it and it was really painful. The doctor said it would probably take 4 days of cold turkey for her at her age. Today she actually did rather well. I think thought that I may kinda have cramps from not nursing, not really sure. Never thought I would've made it 6 months...we had a such a rough start and the first few months were bad. We made it almost 17 months though! God answered a lot of prayers and we persevered. It was worth all of the struggles!

12 week survey
I guess we'll stick with this blog for now for baby updates :)
How far along?: 12 weeks
How big is baby?: maybe 2 inches long?
Weight Gain?: Not sure if I weighed 120 or 125 to start. But I weighed 129 last week. So either 4 or 9 pounds.
Maternity Clothes?: Pants for sure now! They are so much more comfortable.
Sleep?: Depends on how Amelia does and how much I drank before bed.
Best moment this week?: Taking Amelia to play in the park. The weather here has been pretty mild for January.
Food Cravings?: Sugary things. Food just sounds blah though in general.
Gender?: No clue. I want both a boy and a girl :) I will be thrilled with either. It would be fun for Amelia to have a sister close in age, and it would be neat to experience raising a boy (especially since we have to miss out on Liam.)
Stretch Marks: None
Movement?: none
What I miss?: Not having a sick feeling most of the day.
Belly Button?: Still in
Labor Signs?: none
What I'm looking forward to?: Finding out the gender and seeing if this babe is healthy and heart healthy. Hoping we see specialist in 6 weeks.
Nursery progress: There is no nursery here in our small apartment! The baby will be in with us :)
Main symptoms this week: Fatigue, nausea, bloating... Hoping to ween Amelia soon. I think my milk supply completely tanked, so she is basically nursing for comfort. She finally likes cow's milk and drinks it a few times a day.

New Year, New Blog
Hello!
We kind-of started a new blog because of so many new things happening. First, we live in Colorado now. Second, we are expecting another little baby in July. Anyways, there are so many updates and things to talk about. The other blog is private for now, but I will post a link to it when it goes public.

I'm back...kinda :)
I've been busy and haven't had an interest in keeping up with my blog lately. When Amelia turns 9 months, I'll do a post and let you know how she's doing. Here's a recent picture of her though. I love this girl sooooo much. Seriously. There are no words!
Sportin her 2 bottom teeth. This picture captures how silly this girl is. She does a fake little chuckle like half the day now too.

quick update
Hi guys!
Amelia had her 6 month check-up yesterday. She is now weighing 18 lbs and 15 ounces...with a diaper on. She measured at 26ish inches. It was a good appointment. Doctor said she is healthy and seems to be right where she should be for everything. We asked her about her head being kinda flat. Basically it's not a big deal, it's only a cosmetic thing. She said her's is in the mild-moderate category and that her soft spots are still a good size, which means her head is still taking shape. We just need to keep her off it as much as possible. She did pretty good with her shots. No fevers or anything.
These last few weeks she keeps doing new things. It is so exciting and fun. She sits pretty good and just today she waved bye-bye. My mom was holding her and I was walking away, and we said "wave bye-bye to momma." She did! I called Patrick right away ;). We've been noticing how she checks out little things on everything. She will explore her toys and she even notices things on the wall when we're walking with her. She likes to touch light switches and our thermostat. She can pick up small objects with her thumb and index finger on her left hand mostly (pincer grasp I think??). She still loves kicking her legs and folding her hands together. She loves for us to hold her, walk around and show her new things. She also can say baba and mama now!! She prefers saying baba mostly though. Still waiting for her to say dada. She loves her jumperoo so much that she gave herself a blister on her pinky toe :(
Just a little check-in! She will be 7 months in 2 weeks, can't believe it!

Who's there? and introducing....
Hiya. Just was curious as to who reads my blog. Please leave me a comment and let me know who you are and let me know if you have a blog that I should follow! Thanks :)
And I want to introduce to you my newest nephew Adam David. He weighed 7 lbs. 1 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. He ended up getting RSV shortly after being born and was hospitalized for it. Thankfully he is getting better and home now. Can't wait to hold him again! Congrats to my brother Nathan and my sis Emileigh oh, and big sister Nataleigh.
