Happy 14 weeks

Well..it's official, hello 2nd trimester! 1 down, 2 more to go. Hey, 1/3 of the way isn't too bad. We start measuring my cervix on Monday. To make a long story short, I had a bit of a traumatic doctor appointment with the high risk OB last week (it's too overwhelming to go into) but baby bean looks great! My cervix wasn't stellar, but they said it was still a little early to be getting accurate readings ( why did we check then...hmmm). At any rate, we go back on Monday to check in on my cervix and see if it lengthened or shortened. I am pretty overwhelmed with the thought of a cerclage, so if you have any positive stories out there...feel free to let me know!

Here's a belly pic at 14 weeks. (please ignore the mess on the table! haha)

    My high risk OB has and will be checking my cervix too just to be on the safe side.

    Awww, "hi" cute tummy! I know how scary the notion that anything, anything at all can go wrong is...but a cerclage isn't *so* bad in the grand scheme of things, particularly if they're catching your need for one early (much better than an emergency cerclage down the road, right?). I have a friend who's had a cerclage placed with each one of her three healthy, beautiful daughters (born at about 37-38 weeks each). Thinking of you and sending all kinds of good vibes for a continued healthy pregnancy! You look just glowing and wonderful, sweet Kate.

I can't believe it happened to me!

Sometimes I am in complete awe that we have a baby. I am so in love with River and I feel very fortunate! River is a really good baby; She eats great, sleeps well, smiles tons and is easily comforted when cranky. I am really happy to have her here. On the flip side, I am learning all of the beautiful things I missed out with Zoe. Bath time, reading books, cuddling, smiling, cooing, bites of new foods, so on and so forth...the list could go on forever. I still battle with postpartum depression, but I do feel like I am coming out on the other side. My sad days are fewer apart. I still feel terribly guilty that I battle depression. We have tried so long and so hard for a baby that it seems selfish of me to be sad when we have a perfect baby in our arms. HOWEVER, it's not the kind of thing I can control. I still have a lot of depression related to nursing. It hurts me that it didn't work for me...sigh. But, River is super healthy and growing well and at the end of the day, SHE is t...

Seraching for balance...

Wow...I have been a seriously slacker...again. I write on a private blog for River for family, but I find myself writing on here less and less. This blog helped me heal and grow through my grief...but I also know I am never truly healed. Zoe's loss will always be with me. These days I find myself struggling with balance in my life. I seem to be all over the place. After we lost Zoe I was searching to fill the void in my life. At the time, I thought getting a puppy would help distract my mind...it did. The following year we rescued a second dog. Now here we are with a 9 month old and 2 very high energy dogs. I have an extremely difficult time managing our husky, despite how much I love him. I feel like my priorities shifted in such a huge manner...I don't have the time I once did to attend to his needs. I feel like such a terrible dog owner, but at times I feel like it may be time to find Sawyer a new home. He is such a sweet, loving pup...but his energy level is OFF THE HOOK....
