Thinking of you ladies! Update on my pregnancy #12 (pg mentioned)

LisaG825 · #1 February 5th, 2011, 07:07 AM

Just wanted to let all of you know that I am thinking of you. I haven't been lurking for awhile because I have been really busy with work. I took on a second job so I am working 50 hours a week. I also drive about 13-14 hours a week on top of that. Some days I am gone from 6:40 am til about 8-9 pm. Long day!!!

You ladies helped me through some really tough times with my partial molar pregnancy when I was battling chemo and weekly blood draws. I honestly don't know where I would be without you. I was in a very dark place at times. There were days that I honestly didn't want to be around anymore. I even thought in my head about ways that I could just disappear. I wish we all didn't have to be here, but I am so glad I was able to find jm and get to know all of you. If it weren't for our angels, we wouldn't have got to know each other. Our angels are watching over us to make sure that we are not alone. After all, they are not alone. I know my angel, Gabriel is with all of your angels.

I am happy to see that some ladies got a BFP. It brings me to tears every single time I see a lady in here get a bfp after all of our struggles.
Those of you that are struggling to get a BFP or a sticky bean just know how special your LO will be when you get you do get the BFP. That will make your LO that much more special because of YOUR journey it took to get there. All of us have a different journey in some way. Some are shorter than others and some take a lot longer.

I hope you all are doing well. Know that I think of you and pray for you almost every single day even though I am not around much.

Thank you Lisa, you are so sweet. I wouldn't be able to sit up if I were working that much, driving that much and preggo all at the same time, so the fact that you even make it on JM at all is amazing.

Thank you ladies. I am doing alright. I have been sick this past week with a double ear infection, cough, sinus infection, and strep. Hoping my last dose of medicine tomorrow will kick it to the curb. It is looking pretty gloomy though since I still feel pretty bad.

Missy- I am homeschooling (homebound) a girl that is in high school. I get her work from all the teachers. We spend 10 hours a week working on it together. I have to do some of the writing for her. She was in a car accident about 5 years ago and has trouble gripping things. She had several surgeries after the accident. I will post my siggy on this one for you!

I guess I need to do an update since it has been awhile.

I am 22w4d!!!!!

Feeling lots of movement here the last 3 weeks. I felt little things before here and there, but now I feel movement every single day! DH finally felt movement about a week ago. I have one more trip to a high risk dr. They are doing an u/s to check the heart. I guess they couldn't get a good look at it last time so they wanted me to come back. I wasn't going to refuse an u/s after everything I have been through. My obgyn will do a 3d/4d u/s around 32 weeks. I am also going to get another 3d/4d u/s done on my own.

Here are the pics from my anatomy scan:

*I just scanned them all at once to save time. Sorry*

He weighed 9 oz at about 18w. DH said his boy parts weighed about 8oz and the rest of him weighed 1 oz. LOL

Belly pics:

*Ignore my messy hair. I was sick that day.

We haven't picked out any names yet. I had a kinder. bring me a baby name book. She has asked me every day for the last week if I picked out a name yet. Pretty much all the kids know at work. I still haven't announced on fb yet. I am thinking of waiting til my appt. on the 21st.

DH has decided to build the furniture. He is going to build the crib, dresser, and changing table/combo, and a bookshelf. I hope he gets it finished! We just got all of the wood in yesterday!!!

I will post pics of the furniture when he gets it done.

We are in the process of trying to get approved for a mortgage loan. Hope to move in the next 2-3 months. DH is in the process of starting a new job for a bigger police department. He will actually have insurance at this one. YAY!!! So far he has passed the physical. He has to pass the psych test (we find out Thurs. if he passed), polygraph, and background check. He will go in on the 23rd to get fitted for a new vest and uniform. We were really waiting on them to offer him a job before looking at houses so now we are all set! The only downside to this job is they may send him to the full time police academy in Champaign. He already completed the part-time academy closer to us and went 2 weeks to Champaign to complete it and get his certificate. It will be for 12 weeks for the full time academy. He would be gone M-F and home on the weekend. It starts April and lasts til the end of June. I am due June 7th. Not sure how that will work. Hopefully they won't send him!

Everything is going great. BP was a little iffy at a couple of my appts. in January but it was 100/62 last week. Can't get any better than that. NO SWELLING!!! No more m/s. YAY!!! I am up about 8 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight. I have gained about 14 total counting the weight I lost from m/s and gained back.

Will update more after my appt. on the 21st with some new pics!!!

Not sure if I posted this or not but here is the video when we spilled the beans. DH's mom has the best reaction. Ignore me in it. Make sure you have your volume turned up!
