Specialist Update

I went to the heart specialist last week and they think Capt Jack's irregular heart beat is something he will outgrow. We may have to go back around 32 weeks to check and make sure everything is okay, but in the mean time we got some nifty new pics. I have had 4 ultrasounds now and each time the tech has commented on how active this baby is inside! He never stops moving. I will soon be a busy busy woman.

Sports Themed Weekend

Lele and papa came for a visit which was so much fun! It was great to see them both and I was so appreciative for the help with Case while I went to 1,000,000 Dr appts for Capt Jack. As you can see, a grandparent never visits without bringing gifts and Case loved his new golf clubs. He even put both clubs in his crib one evening before bedtime. So cute!





Case also went bowling for the first time. He loved it. Of course he had a little help from the bumpers and daddy but overall he did a great job and ended up with an 89! Case even got a spare on the 10th frame. He didn’t understand the significance of this accomplishment but we celebrated for him.

22 weeks

22 weeks and counting and growing.





The doc gave me the all clear today. I was previously on slow down mode because of some complications I experienced earlier this week. However everything looked good at the office and tomorrow we go to the fetal heart specialist to find out more about Capt Jack’s irregular heart beat. They are looking for closed off chambers, holes in the heart, etc. Let’s just hope and pray it’s something he will outgrow (which is also an option). We will know more tomorrow.

It's wrestle mania in our home! I always root for Case.

One Thing After Another!

I want, want, want to feel good and enjoy my pregnancy, but it has been really, really, really hard. Captain Jack (that is baby #2’s nickname until we come up with his actual name) has been hard on the old body. Hyperemesis the first 10 weeks, violent virus bug and other personal health issues popping up for the past 2 months and now double infections. Plus the doc says the baby has an irregular heart beat and my placenta is low on fluids. How did women do this in the olden days? Maybe I will get to enjoy my 3rd trimester….is that even possible? Bring on the swollen feet, heartburn, and back pain any day. I just want to enjoy a few weeks of pregnancy without some possible problem creeping up. ***On a side note, Captain Jack, I’m sure I will end up telling you just how hard I worked to bring you into this world one day after you have given me some teenage grief, so be prepared to hear the story again and again! So much trouble for such a little man, but I’m sure you are worth it!

Not Me

Who can resist a sleeping baby? Not me. I love him!

Messed Up

Acid rain, kidnapped children, mazes, zombies, running from danger super slow like you are running in water, those are just a few of the different messed up dreams I have had over the past 2 nights. Oh dreamless sleep, where are you?
