I had another u/s yesterday and all looks beautiful! I love having them because I get to see my beautiful boy again. The doc tried to switch to 3-d but Jaylon was too close to my uterus for the computer to distinguish between the two. Oh well, maybe sometime! So, here are my fave pics!
Proof that Jaylon is a Jaylon and not a KayLeigh
The cutest ear I've ever seen!
Look at that profile! He's got Kenna's nose (which is apparently my nose)!
And finally, the biggest lips ever! He totally has Sean's lips and they are so cute! I have a feeling he'll look exactly like all my other babies!
A bulleted post for you all:
- I have a cold, have since Saturday
- I have tons of snot, which does not help the nausea...at all!
- The bullshit sudafed does not work for me
- I have a doc appt tomorrow (11am - U/s and 1:30pm - appt with MFM)
- I have cried most of the day
- Never vomit snot, it's disgusting; worse than KFC mashed potatoes and cold iced tea
- Sorry I didn't answer the phone dad, I love you but cannot bear to talk today, I will call tomorrow after my appt
- No fever is what makes me think it's just a cold, fyi. I have all the horrible symptoms of the flu just no fever, thank god
- I haven't slept well since "The Cold of 2009", I can't breathe
- Jaylon doesn't seem to mind that I'm miserable, he has been moving and having a blast in my cozy, warm, fluid-filled uterus of heaven
- I will update tomorrow after my 2nd level II u/s and my appt
- All is going well with the pregnancy still, if my doc puts me in the hospital in a few weeks it's strictly (at this point) for my mental well-being
You know, things are going so well and "normal" that I don't even really have an update. Since 26 wks is coming quickly and my nerves are already tweaked over this, my awesome doc will see me every 2 weeks to calm me down. But it's just for that...to calm. Nothing is happening, which is awesome. I'm normal and even the doc said that he's treating me based on my history not even how things are going right now. Which is nice, that he's not forgetting what we've lost.
At this point I just sit and be pregnant, sit and grow a baby, that's it. No freaky placenta, no pre-term labor, no bleeding...nuttin'...it's so nice! Yes I have the aches and pains of pregnancy already and there are pains in my belly that freak me out more than they should (it's just round-ligament pain and stretching for monster baby in there!), but really I'm totally allowed to spazz every once in a while! Thankyouverymuch! So even with those pains, the sciatica that won't ease up (even with a prenatal massage this weekend!), the nausea that I'm tired of and the depends pads I have to wear since I pee my pants all the time, I'm happy. I'm content. I'm semi-at-ease. And I'm ok. Jaylon reassures me when I need it, he knows when I need a swift kick in the bladder/cervix/ass and he's happy to oblige with a thud. I have my doc that I know if I am freaking way too much or more than needed then I can call him and he'll see me or send me to the ER to ease any fears, and that's OK too.
Peace of mind is the main thing in this pregnancy...this normal (OMG, it's actually textbook normal) pregnancy.
that even though I'm down 25-ish lbs (I will know if I'm still losing or finally gaining on my appt on Tuesday!) I'm HUGE?! I mean, I'm a big girl, not gonna lie. But this is different...this is BABY...I can actually feel him and I swear he's taking up all the room in there already. I can feel that my fundus (top of uterus) is about 1 1/2inches above my belly button but I'm a MONSTER! I look like I usually do at 26-ish weeks! I swear, he's already 1lb in there...oh lord I really hope my doc is still on board for the repeat section, I cannot push out a 20lb baby! LMAO!
Here's a belly pic...also it was 83 degrees here today, so yes it's January 3rd and I'm in a tank and shorts!
I've noticed some huge differences in this pregnancy than my 5 previous ones. To be honest, it's nice to have this one so different than those others, maybe that means all is well for real! LOL
1. Sickness...oh the sickness that I still have at 20wks
2. Movement...this child is moving so much more than any other one I've had, it's great!
3. My mental state...I've always been very nervous being pregnant, I mean who the hell can blame me right? But this time I've been calm from the first u/s at 6-ish weeks. I freaked right after the BFP but then seeing his h/b so early it calmed me.
4. Seeing a "real" doc...I've had a few docs. The first one I ever had blamed me for Avery's death. The second doc I had was a good doc when you're a normal pregnant woman. He should never see anyone with any problems getting pregnant, being pregnant or with losses. I believe because of his ignorance I almost lost Kenna and I almost died with Jackson. Seeing an MFM has been a Godsend. The man KNOWS what he's doing and I'd trust him with my life (well, shit I am). He's seen the bad of pregnancy, he's delivered stillborns, he's been around shitty pregnancies, that's all the dude does and it makes me feel great. Knowing I'm not alone, knowing that I'm in wonderful hands and knowing that I can ask/say anything and he's heard it before.
5. The way I'm carrying Jaylon. This one is really strange. I am not a cute pregnant person, never have been. I get wide. I'm still growing wider, but I have a ball of a belly which has never happened before. It looks like I have a very large ball under my shirt. I don't look cute by anymeans, this pregnancy is kickin' my ass (due to the sickness I'm sure) but I look cuter than I have during any pregnancy! LMAO!
