Pregnant after a Loss
*jacquie*
How are you? Haven't seen you around 
We ordered our dresser last night. It was expensive because we got it from the Amish store...but they have the best stuff..solid oak and metal gliders. It will take 10-12 weeks to be made. We just got a plain looking dresser like our chest in our room. Then they make a changing pad "holder" with shelves above it that sits on top of the dresser. I wasn't planning on getting anything like that, but when I saw it I thought it would be nice, then we can take it off when she is old enough and we will put a mirror on the dresser then. I know it seems petty, but we are finally moving in the direction of starting our nursery. Tonight or tomorrow I am going to get the paint for it.

Re: *jacquie*
I am doing well. I ahve been super busy with the holidays and trying to get stuff done at home and the n also at work. I would rather just bump all day and take naps but that is not going to happen.
The dresser sounds nice and you will be able to use it for a very long time. I am starting to get the itch for baby shopping. I think after christmas, I might start working on that registry. Yay!!!!!
I think I am going to do what you guys did and not put the bedding on it. I really love the ones at potterybarn. I also like this but not sure it will work, especially if it is a boy.

Oh that is very cute..but maybe not for a boy. I love it though for a girl.
Dan just got off the phone with our crop insurance man and he said that we are guaranteed a certain amount of money. I figured it up and we will only likely pay $6,000 out of our pocket for the farm this year... So much better than I was figuring. Since it is guaranteed, my dad will float us a loan for a month until the money comes in for insurance...I can almost breathe now. I would still feel better if Dan could get his crop in before our loan is due so that we didn't have to borrow money from my dad. But still..
I am glad that is much better than you thought it would be. Hopefully this does releave some of the stress. Holidays have enough stress around them.
I got a call back from the OB nurse and she said my NT results came back perfect. I did not get the exact numbers but I will probably just wait until my appointment to go over them. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats on the results! That is such a relief. I am so happy for you. This whole thing seems so surreal! Is Mark excited? Dan is one of those people who has trouble getting excited, but I do expect tears when the baby is born, just like the tears he had at the big u/s (when it was more real to him) He said he just wants to hold our little girl.
At my appt. yesterday, they had me schedule three appts:
1st- next 4 week appt (normal)
2nd- rhogam and glucose 2 weeks after
3rd- last u/s 2 weeks after
As you can tell, by then I am on 2 week appts! I will be 32 weeks. I am in total shock.
My mom ran into my male OB doc (never met him with me) while she was working at the hospital. She went to see a friends daughters girls and he had just delivered them. My mom mentioned that he saw me that day and what my name was and he said how nice I was and that I was doing everything right. That feels good to have an OB that confident in me. Because I do sneak blue cheese and a cup of coffee (and lunchmeat) now and then...the list is probably longer than that too. I don't do it often, but I figure people do much worse pregnant and i am out of 1st tri.

I like this for a boy.
I have alwyas liked that elephant bedding.
I was peeking at your ticker today and I was shocked. You have come so far along. VDay is right around the corner! I couldn't be happier for you and Dan.
Way to go and get props from your OB. You are doing a wonderful job Kara. I have always been a sucker for blue cheese. Yummy!
My male OB thinks I am nuts. Everytime I see him, I cry. He has that affect on me. He is latin and so very sweet and calls me mama. Mark laughs at how I react towards him.
I know I swear my ticker is cheating. I couldn't be that pregnant. I have wanted it for so long it doesn't seem real. I used to look at anyone past 20 weeks and think "they are so lucky to be that far" and now that is me
And you are right on my coattails! I can't believe how far along you are. My male doc is laid back and I am more comfortable with them. I think they see so many "unfortunate" cases, that to see one who actually has a plan and wanted a baby makes them happy. When I look at the people in the waiting room, I get that impression anyway...
Blue Cheese on a filet mignon is excellent
I think we are going out to eat for V-day...then the milestones fly by!
Great, now I want a filet with blue cheese.
It is very unreal sometimes, especially now that I am showing. I can't help but look in the mirror and smile.
Oh, I bought some maternity jeans from motherhood this weekend. Okay, so they fit the butt nicely but I have to keep pulling them up. They are not staying up and it is really annoying. It's like my crotch hangs low. Not cool.
I have a pair of motherhood "flowy" black pants. I always pull them up. I got a pair of black Gap pants and use the motherhood ones for working at the banquet hall. I am still pulling them up..I agree on the lack of coolness.
I look in every reflection I can just to admire my bump
This past week I have probably felt better than I have yet. I feel like the 2nd tri feel goods are going to get cut short...3rd tri is on its way.
You have the cutest bump forming
It is so exciting. I thought my bump was "so obvious" at like 17 weeks lol...now I am like...twice that size. Just wait until the 30 weeks lol.
Thanks Kara! It is cute now, but I have a feeling I am going to carry this baby all over. I have been really good with eating though and really only taking in the needed additional calories. I think in about another week or so, I will really look like I have a bump and I am not just pudgy. I am so wearing nice fitted shirts to show it off. I have some of those empire waste shirts and right now, it just makes me look overweight since I am just 15 weeks. I will wait to wear those in 3rd tri.
I still want to put you in my pocket. I love your grinch belly. lol! Seriously, you are so cute.
