So last week (16 weeks) was the best I have felt in the past 10+ weeks. I did not have to take my Zofran for a good 7 days in a row. And then, AND THEN this morning (17 weeks exactly), I threw up again and had to resort back to […]

16 was the magic number, 17…. Not so much

fingerprints — Hey Baby! We had another checkup yesterday, and got to hear your heartbeat again! It was so much stronger and louder this time than last time. You are getting so big that you are starting to push my uterus (your home for now) further up my body. I’ve started to […]

Last week we got to actually hear the heartbeat for the first time. I have to say, the best part was looking over at Will when we heard it and seeing tears in his eyes. He is going to be the best father I could ever imagine. Here’s the quick […]

ultrasound #2 — Dear Sticky Rainbow, Today Daddy and I saw you on the ultrasound for the second time! We could see your heart beating away at 182 bpm. Right now you look pretty much like a tadpole with a huge head, but don’t worry, you’ll be more proportionate by the time you’re […]

cabin6 — Sorry it’s been awhile. Life has been crazy. We’ve continued to heal from all of our troubles, and have even encountered more craziness along the way. Such is life! A couple weeks ago I surprised Will with a cabin at Red River Gorge. We had a great time relaxing, drinking […]

As time goes on we have been able to handle our sadness better. Life certainly threw us some curve balls since my last post. We had a cancer scare with Will the week after our miscarriage, which thankfully turned out to NOT be cancer. Will had to have a surgery […]

As I’m sure you’ve guessed, this sucks. There is no easy way around it. Will and I are grieving the loss of what we thought we had. And it’s sad, really really sad. We are working through it together. Yesterday I had my D&C surgery to take out the “products of […]
