Wowza!

figures..

I guess I spoke too soon.

A few hours after I posted a started to bleed....a lot heavier than before.  It has since slowed down and Lauren found the baby's heartbeat on the doppler. I try to relax but it is almost impossible. My OB/GYN and my midwife both said I might just be a bleeder. Yay!

There is nothing worse than seeing blood when you are pregnant.

13 Weeks and Counting!

Yes I know I haven't written in quite some time!

As of tomorrow I am 13 weeks pregnant. How the hell did that happen?

In the past 6 weeks I have had two cases of bleeding. Of course I freaked out and thought my pregnancy was over. My dear wife Lauren stayed calm and reassured me this can be totally normal. After 2 ultrasounds and lots of blood work, I am delighted and relieved to say I have a nice healthy baby doing flips in my belly. I may just have a vascular cervix which is prone to some bleeding.

We have switched over from my Dr. D my current OB/GYN to a birth center with an awesome group of midwives. Lauren had our son J at a similar birth center and we both really liked the care and experience.  The only reason why I chose a different birth center is because I want to have a water birth and this is the only birth center in the area that offers this.

I am 100% dedicated to having as natural of a birthing experience as possible. Water has always been very soothing to me and from what I read it is very helpful in pain management and with the prevention of tearing.

May 3 we will find out what we are having! I am so very excited.  Of course we will be happy whether it’s a boy or a girl and we really only want a healthy baby, but I am hoping for another boy. It would be a tad easier as we have everything packed away from J. Having a teenage daughter right now does now make me yearn for another female in my house.

Hopefully I will update more but I will leave you a picture of our 10 week ultrasound of “Speck”.
