As many of you have known for some time (thanks to
bruisefairy) I am pregnant. Yeah for me!!! Everything so far is A OK
with the little one, so that deserves a sigh of relief. I have been
tested for EVERYTHING under the sun, and so far all test results have
come back normal or with in normal range (depending on the type of
test). Yippee!! Another bit of good news is that I had a pap done, and
this time around I do not have any abnormal cells (danm things) on my
cervix and I am still offically cancer free!!! One less thing for me to
have to worry about. My current docs (and yes I mean several, as I have
eight doctors at three different offices taking care of me) have gone
over my records from my last pregnancy and have found that the cause
for the loss of my daughter was due to three "full" knots (as they call
it) in the umbilical cord. So this time around once I get to 28 weeks I
will have to lay down every hour to make sure the little one is still
moving and kicking around. They say she should move at least 3-4 times
an hour and if this ever decreases (sp?) or increases I have to give
the docs a call and go from there. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed.
I have had 3 ultrasounds done so far, so I
have several pics of the little one, which I will try to post some time
in the future. I have also been told the sex of the baby, and it's
another girl. Shannon and I have come up with names, but we aren't
entirely sure which one we will end up using. Not that the two we have
picked out are all that diffierent, but we
still haven't come to a final decision. The names will either be Flora
Elizabeth Prue or Elizabeth Flora Prue. I've already taken to calling
her Lizzy, so either name is fine with me.
Other than all the other normal pregnancy crap, I
haven't really been up to all that much. Just eating, (which seems to
consume more and more of my time with each passing day) working, and
sleeping. Sounds like fun, don't it?? I will be coming down to FL
sometime in the spring for my baby shower, but I haven't set a date
yet. As soon as I do, I'll let everyone know. Hope all is going well
for everyone. Miss everyone more than I can say.
