Some of this, some of dat

So I am all about doula's! First of all, being that I am with MFM (maternal fetal medicine) docs...the last thing on their mind is a medication free, vaginal delivery. As many of you know, I 110% for it (as long as it is safe for baby Mirth). So, to negate some of the medical vibe we are going to hire a Douala. We have interviewed one already and are interviewing the second today. I am really excited about the lady we are interviewing today. She is certified in Hypobirthing (the birthing class we are taking) and is very familiar with the hospital we will be delivery at. Very exciting stuff.

On to other news...tomorrow is the exact date (23.3 weeks) we delivered Zoe. Monday morning I WILL wake up the most pregnant I have ever been. I love both of my girls.

I am so excited to meet baby mirth...97 days until 37 weeks!!! Whoot, Whoot!!

We see the doc again on Wednesday to check my cervical length. So far I feel really good. I am not having any contractions or pressure. I think my cervix listened to everyone! hehe

So today I am feeling in pretty good spirits. Our 5th year anniversary was yesterday. It's amazing how fast time flies by. Crazy! Thank god for my husband! He is an amazing dude! I love him like no other. Plus, he made me steak, mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus and even got me flowers!!! Oh...lets not forget the ice cream. I was one well fed preggo yesterday. hehe. I have learned to take the good with the bad during this entire journey. Today I am feeling good...so I am going to take it!

My Beta

So...my level today was 108!!! The nurse said that was a perfect, healthy number...not too high, not too low. Chances are good we have one little charm in there. Which is PERFECT. We won't know for sure until our u/s...but I have been thinking it's one...and a boy. I feel really connected to a little boy, and awhile ago, Zoe came to me in a dream and said we were going to get pregnant with one baby, a little boy, and things were going to be fine. :-) Sweet little baby of mine...comforting her momma even in spirit. It's strange to be pregnant right now...It doesn't feel real quite yet. It does, but it doesn't. I feel really secure about this pregnancy...almost at peace. I feel deep in my heart we are going to bring home a living baby. It's will be strange to be a mother of 2, one in spirit and one here on Earth. I love Zoelle so deeply, and miss her with each breath I take. I wish she was here to share in the joy of this new life. At the same time, the new life

2nd Beta!

Well, my 2nd beta on Wednesday was 308! Super excited! Who knows...there might just be two lucky charms in there. Everyone seems to think we are having twins...even my very fabulous IVF nurse. Only time will tell. One...two...whatever happens, I am just so excited to be pregnant. We have our first u/s on March 22nd where we will see how many we have and hear the little heart beat/s. Yay!! As of right now I have been feeling wonderful! I am having a bit of nausea here and there, but not too bad. I didn't get sick one time when I was pregnant with Zoe, so we will see. For now, just the normal early pregnancy symptoms and I LOVE IT! I can hardly wait to meet this little bean in 35-36 weeks from now! :-) So the count down begins...17 more days until our first u/s. Unlike my pregnancy test...I can't cheat and head to the office early for this one. What is a girl to do...ha!

Dear Uterus

Dear Uterus, In less then two weeks our second pregnancy begins. Please keep our little embryo's safe and nestled tightly in your womb. I promise to provide you with proper nutrients, vitamins and water. Please stay relaxed and happy! A happy uterus makes for a happy mother. :-) I would greatly appreciate you behaving for at least 37 weeks. Dear uterus, I would like you to recite this mantra over and over..."I am like velcro! I am like velcro!" We can do this! Please be gentle with our little peanuts...this means the world to us. Thanks Uterus! Love, Your body!
