The butterflies in my belly

It was a good thanksgiving...not too stressful. Of course, there was good food and great times with my family. I'm pretty happy that I don't have the disfunction dreads that some families have. It's usually just my sister's family and DH and I. I'm thankful for many things...I'm healthy, we have a pretty nice house, great pets, enough money, etc. One thing that I'm not thankful for this year is that we lost Isaac. I would have loved to have him at this thanksgiving celebration. I sort of think it was at the back of everyone's mind. I will always wish he was here with us.

As for this pregnancy and the new baby, things seem to be fine. I think I've felt a few little flutters. Definately two different times have I felt movement. I have my 20 week appt. on Tuesday and the big US on Dec. 1. These next few days are going to crawl by, I just know it. To help make the time go faster, we are trying to keep busy. I'm excited, we are going to the Washington Redskins game tomorrow with our friends. I could care less about either team (I'm a Colts fan), but it will hopefully be fun.

Hope you all had a good turkey day.

Another hurdle we have crossed

FYI...all was well with the NT scan and the quad screen. We have breathed a sigh of relief...for now. Now I am anxiously awaiting my first swift kick from this little one. I need to run...the end of a long day. Hope all is well in blogland.

New Territory

It seems I have reached a new stage of my "healing" process...people are now feeling more comfortable asking me about what exactly happened. I sort of enjoy the new found freedom to talk about the child that everyone was afraid to ask about for so long. I think of him all the time, to talk about him isn't hard for me. But I've noticed it's hard for others to hear. Several people have cried while I was talking to them, while my tear ducts are nearly dry. I'm okay with that, let them be uncomfortable for a while.

We still haven't told anyone about this pregnancy. It's getting hard to hide, as I'm in maternity clothes. I don't really look pregnant just yet, mostly I look fat. We have our big US on December 1. If we get the green light, we'll tell everyone after that. Part of me can't wait to enjoy and share this happiness with everyone. So far, we've only told my mom and Bryan's dad. While they were overjoyed, I want to share the news with everyone. I just hope that all is well in there and we don't have to face the same music we did last time.

I had the quad screen done and the second stage of the NT-fold test last week. I'm thinking we'll get our results today. Keep your fingers crossed and say a silent prayer for us. Gotta run for now.

Drano Test

Just had to report that I did the Drano test last night....it said girl. We'll see.

Feeling much better here. I'm a little overwhelmed with work, but overall I'm doing well. I've had absolutely no time to get to the computer this week. Hope all is well in blogland. I can't believe I'm 16 weeks pregnant.

On a side note, today is my birthday. I'm 30. Weird. A whole new decade, I hope it is a decade of good things to come.
