Catching Up and Pregnancy Update

Wow, I thought that not having a 9 to 5 job anymore would make it easier for me to keep up with this blog but I guess I was wrong. So let's sum up the past few months and get to the update on pregnancy #2.

We have completed the renovations on our home and put it on the market. So far we've "sold" it three times, and each time the buyer has backed out. Selling a house stinks.

Wild Man continues to grow like a weed. He deserves his own update, which I fully intend to do soon. Ha!

On to the pregnancy update portion.
  • I am currently 20 weeks plus a few days pregnant. Over half-way done, wow.
    That went fast.
  • At our 17 week ultrasound we discovered that this little one is a BOY!
  • For now, he shall be known as Wiggle Worm. Because that is what he does, constant wiggling.
  • At my appointment last week I discovered why I feel so many wiggles but very few actual kicks, baby is taking a backseat to the placenta. Hopefully won't cause a problem but could potentially be an issue for my repeat c-section. My long suffering doctor just sighed and said "ofcourse its (the placenta) anterior, why would yours form anywhere else." Funny.
  • So far at every ultrasound Wiggle Worm measures big for his gestation. But, since there's no way I'm going to full-term that's not necessarily a bad thing. Grow buddy grow!
  • Weight Gain: Um, so not going to advertise that on the world wide web. Suffice to say I've gained. More than I should have. That is all.
  • In a few weeks I'll have to switch to weekly appointments. Not tops on my list how I'd like to spend my holiday season but I'll do it.
I'm looking forward to Christmas. Wild Man will be able to really get into it this year and its going to be so much fun!

Toodles for now, sorry about the bullet points and no pictures. I'll get better, I promise.
