I am currently 21weeks into my pregnancy. I received a diagnosis of Hypermesis at 11 weeks. That sent me to the hospital twice and finally went away (knock on wood) at 20 weeks. Our anatomy scan was at 19 weeks. Baby girl has long legs and Liam's nose. Her heart and brain looked perfect. The one concern was an accessory lobe on the placenta, which my doctor told me not to freak out about. This will be monitored monthly and I hope there are not issues with post delivery bleeding.
My sweet OB is no longer delivering babies after this month, so I had to find a new doctor. I was upset, but feel like I am in great hands. I have a whole team of high risk specialists working with me to ensure a healthy pregnancy and delivery. Please keep baby girl and I in thoughts and prayers as there are many more tests in my future. I go for a heart echo at hospital this Friday and have a kidney test at the end of this month. I am sure all will be ok, but I am definitely nervous.
Tommy seems ok with having a daughter, but says she is not allowed to go out ever. Liam, although he was hoping for a baby brother, has warmed up to welcoming a sister.
We think we have settled on a name and will announce that as soon as I know we..I mean I won't change my mind.
I will try and update on our progress monthly. A friend of mine blogged her pregnancy with a a neat template of questions and I thought it would be fun to do the same.
Thank you all for your well wishes. We are so excited to share this new chapter in life with our family and friends.
