Welcome baby Miles!

He’s a boy!  Miles was born at 2:56 a.m. on Tuesday, September 22.  He weighed 7 lb., 1 oz. and was 19.25 inches long.  And of course G. and I think he’s just the cutest baby ever. 

So I was expecting Miles’ birth to take a couple of days, because of what the doctors [...]

T minus 81 hours (and counting)

I’m being induced Monday night.  Holy crap.
For some reason I was thinking it would be later in the week, since I know they like to make sure you’re at least 39 weeks, which I will be on Tuesday.  I guess I thought they’d want to add a few days on for safety.
While I was at [...]

The countdown starts

So I found out last Thursday that I will be induced next week, after all.  The doctor I had talked to before who told me no didn’t really know my whole medical history and, not that this is a bad thing, she used to be a midwife and tends to take a more natural approach [...]

Holy crap, 29 weeks?

I still can’t believe I’ve made it this far.  I had a doctor’s appointment this afternoon and hadn’t seen this particular doctor since week 7, when she told me we could be cautiously optomistic about this pregnancy.  I don’t know if she remembered me or if she just actually bothers to read charts before she [...]

24 weeks

Holy crap, I can’t believe I’ve let 5 weeks go by without a posting.  Shame on me.  Though I did have good reason: we bought a house!  We signed for it the beginning of May and then spent the entire month cleaning, painting (VOC-free paint, of course), packing, sorting and hauling.  It was so exhausting.  [...]

19 week ultrasound

Today’s ultrasound was so much fun!  The tech said that everything looked great, and I’m so relieved.  Even though my triple-screen test came back fine, I was still a little worried that something would show up, but it was all good.
The baby wouldn’t turn over for the 4D part, so we’ll go back in 10 [...]

18 weeks

Last Tuesday was the 2-year anniversary of my very first due date.  Isn’t that weird?  I can’t believe that if everything had gone well with my first pregnancy I would have a two-year-old running around.  Just crazy.
Instead, I’m now 18 weeks with an extremely active little guy.  He kicks randomly throughout the day, sometimes over [...]

So yesterday I swear I felt the baby move.  It was this weird slow roll sensation, like the baby was maybe doing a somersault in there.  Isn’t this too early to feel movement?  I thought with first babies you didn’t feel much until closer to 20 weeks.  I was telling a friend and she said [...]

13 week ultrasound

I am feeling super relieved right now.  Everything was wonderful at my appointment and the baby’s still measuring perfectly with a good heart rate.  The only disappointment was that the printer attached to the ultrasound machine wasn’t working so I didn’t get a picture.  I should’ve taken a picture of the screen with my camera.
Once [...]
