Happy Thanksgiving

2010 has been quite a year for us. We have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving season. We are both very blessed and thankful for our miracle on the way, our family, our friends, our health and tons of other things I could list. Namely I am thankful for 4 days in a row of no nausea! WooHoo! Its the little things. It has definitely been a year to remember and something tells me 2011 will be better yet.

Tomorrow in our family isn't just Thanksgiving, its also my mommy's birthday! So Happy Birthday Mommy! Yes I am 35 and still call her mommy :) Snicker, laugh, make jokes, I don't care she will still be my mommy when I 50! LOL!

We hope that you and your entire family have a wonderfully warm and happy Thanksgiving this year. May God Bless each and every one of you.

Halloween....a little late....

I know we don't have kids yet, but every year we always carve pumpkins because you are never too old to be a kid and enjoy Halloween!

This was my pumpkin

This was Chris's pumpkin

And Peanut is our little pink pig with a curly tail......little does she know her mommy has always wanted a little pink pig with a curly tail!

I love the tail!

And here is our Crazy Cow Blondie

complete with udders and all.....she is so not amused

Me and my girls - Peanut loves getting dressed up and putting clothes on......

Daddy and the girls.....Blondie on the other hand is not amused!

Yes the girls sat outside with us and handed out candy. As always they are well liked by the little ones in the neighborhood and they got lots of pets and love that night.

Until next time.....Blessings to you All!

Baby in Pictures

6 weeks - Baby B our Little Miracle and Baby A our Littlest Angel

8 Weeks 5 days - Our Little Miracle has really grown and you can still see what was our Littlest Angel and is now our Miracle's extra special Guardian Angel!

10 Weeks 5 Days - Our Miracle has a very large head (the largest part is the head) and you can still see the sac of our Littlest Angel in Heaven

I won't get another one of these beautiful pics until 12/28 when we have the big ultrasound and find out the sex of our Miracle. But isn't our little Miracle and our Littlest Angel the most beautiful already! LOL! Just wanted to share these and again to thank each and everyone of you for your thoughts and prayers while we embarked on this journey and continue on this journey. I am feeling pretty good these days. Still very very tired but the nausea has gotten much better. I am still having trouble with all the iron, but I know when my miracle is in my arms this will seem like nothing and it will be all very much worth it!

God Bless each and everyone of you!

30 mg more.....

So thats the answer to what they are doing about my anemia. They are adding an additional 30 mg of iron to my vitamins! Fun times......I know this is short and all but I wanted to update on what the Dr's said today and now I am off to eat some dinner.

God Bless!

How can it be......

That I am STILL anemic! Seriously I am taking a total of 90 mg of iron everyday and I am still anemic. My Ob's office called yesterday to tell me that I am still anemic. The nurse took down all the details of the iron I am taking and said she is going to talk to the Dr. They have decided to call Dr. Davis and consult with him since I was severely anemic the end of May. So I am just waiting to hear back from them to find out if they will increase my pill form or if we will move to injections. Either way, as long as it keeps my little miracle healthy I will do it, I will however probably complain about it the whole time! LOL! Especially when it comes to going potty. I know TMI but the truth is the truth. Otherwise everything came back perfect in the blood work and urine. So that was good news! Other than that, nothing much has changed here. I am still exhausted but on the up note the nausea is getting better. Today I am officially 12 weeks! Woohoo! I will update more very soon and include the pics I promised before.

Blessings to Everyone!

PERFECT Appointment

Today was a great day and a perfect first "regular/normal" Doctor appointment with the OB. Today I am officially 10 wks 6 days and our perfect little miracle is measuring right on track to the exact day! The heart beat was 158 and my do we have a little active monkey in there. Our miracle was kicking and punching and flipping and flopping so much so that the Dr had a hard time getting a picture, but we did get one! The empty sac is still there although about half the size it was last time and she said she doesn't expect it to pass she expects my body and the baby will reabsorb it. I sure am hoping so because if I start cramping and bleeding I think I will freak out! She kept telling me over and over that although getting me pregnant was a challenge, I am now "just a normal pregnant woman!" That was music to my ears although I had to laugh at being called normal. However since this is the 3rd Dr since May of this year to call me normal, I am thinking maybe I am and everyone else around me isn't! LOL! She really did put me at ease about so much. There is a lot of testing that will be done differently with me and some not at all because the vanishing twin has more than a 50% chance of skewing the results. Other than that I am normal. They will however do more blood work on me than the normal person because of the Gastric Bypass. They want to be sure both me and the baby are absorbing all the necessary nutrients needed. So today they drew 9 vials of blood. I am hopeful that my iron will be back to normal so I can cut back some of the iron I am taking and hopefully that will relieve my stomach some. So all and all today was one of the best days so far on this journey. She kept the ultrasound on for a while for us since we won't get to "see" the baby again for 8 weeks! I think I will die! LOL! I go back to the Dr in 4 weeks like a normal pregnant person on 11/30 (exam and heartbeat check only) and then we go for our big ultrasound to determine the sex on 12/28! Three days after Christmas, 2 days before our anniversary and 4 days before New Years! What a fabulous way to end an exciting and blessed year! I am already starting to freak out a little about not going back to the Dr until 11/30 but I just keep reminding myself this is how most people do it. Hopefully soon that will sink in, but I don't know. All in all we are thrilled with everything. I have been allowing myself to grieve our precious angel while celebrating our miracle and I am doing much better with it all. Thanks so much to everyone for their prayers. I have gotten so many wonderful messages and notes from people who have been there and I had no idea. It is a relief to know that what I am feeling is normal. We have decided that although we miss our angel greatly it was a blessing and that little angel would want us to be happy for our miracle so we are keeping on that track with the Grace of God.

I have 3 ultrasound pics to scan in, some belly pics to upload, and some Halloween pics to upload this week. We dressed up Peanut and Blondie for Halloween last night while we handed out candy and we had a great time. I can't believe I will be trick or treating with my miracle next year! What a Blessing. Hopefully I can get all the pics up sometime this week.

Until next time, please keep praying for our miracle and we wish God's Blessings on each and everyone of you!

God Bless - Amy, Chris, Peanut, Blondie, Doobie, Tabby and our growing Miracle Baby!
