Today has been super tough for me. I have stayed in bed most of the day, and napped most of the day. Im so lucky that my boyfriend was home today to look after our two children, as i just couldn’t cope.

I felt extremely tired, i could barely stay awake. I had no energy to get up from the sofa, i felt sick and had a headache. I am hardly eating or drinking, which i know is really bad – but my appetite has just completely gone, and i cannot stand the smell of most things.

I’m honestly worried about tomorrow as he goes back to work, and I’m alone to sort the children. 😪

This pregnancy has definitely been my toughest so far, and I’m hoping, as i near the second trimester, symptoms will ease off, and i will feel better! 🤞🏻🙏🏻 #pregnancy #pregnancysymptoms #9weekspregnant #firsttrimester #pregnant #duein2020 #mumtobe2020 #babydue2020 #earlypregnancy #3rdbaby #mumsofinstagram #parentblogger #motherhood

For this pregnancy the regimen recommended by my doctor is 200mg of progesterone (taken vaginally) and one low dose aspirin per day. For my last pregnancy I was taking 400mg of progesterone per day and the side effects were not fun. My new doctor doesn’t feel that 400mg is necessary since my progesterone is rising naturally and I’m taking it only as a precaution. I go back early next week to have beta number 3 and my progesterone rechecked to see how I am responding to it.
I do not have any known blood clotting disorders, but with my history of repeat miscarriages my doctor thinks it couldn’t hurt to take low dose aspirin. My husband and I have researched some studies on it for possible prevention of miscarriage, and while there isn’t much evidence for miscarriage prevention there also aren’t any negative effects. I would love to hear about anyone’s experience with taking low dose aspirin during pregnancy and what you think of it! Do you think it helped you?
💊 I am aware that both of these medications will not prevent a miscarriage that is due to a chromosomal abnormality or other “defects” and complications 💊

In this season of giving thanks, I reflect back to this time last year. (The full story is on my Facebook page. Follow the link in my bio to read. Who knew Instagram had a word limit lol). THANKFUL: My Miracle Baby

November 20, 2018: I found out I was pregnant. I was so happy and over the moon that my prayers were answered.
November 21, 2018: My husband and I announced to our family & friends that I was pregnant. You can see some of their reactions here https://youtu.be/H0-RqosSEDc
We enjoyed sharing the news with our family and basked in the joyful-ness that we would soon be starting a family of our own.

Fast forward to a few days later… November 26, 2018: I was experiencing some intense pain in my side while walking, this lasted for a few days. I mentioned the pain to my mom and asked her if she thought it was normal. She did not think it was normal, and advised me to go to the ER. I went to the ER, I explained to the Dr. that I recently found out that I was pregnant and I described my pain… Keep in mind, I haven’t had my first prenatal visit yet, so the Dr. takes a urine test to verify that I am in fact pregnant. After, verifying that I am pregnant, the tech does an ultrasound to see if she can see the baby in my uterus. She does not see the baby. The Dr. orders a trans-vaginal ultra sound. Still no embryo… The entire time the scan is going on, the tech doing the scan made no eye contact with me. I’m trying to read their face, their vibe… anything… I just want to know that everything is okay… but I’m uneasy and a nervous wreck because I am not being assured that everything is ok. Once the scan ends, the person taking the scan says I’m going to bring these to the Dr.; he will be in shortly. That’s it? I think…
Tell me something. Shortly after, the Dr. comes in. He ask me if I know what a tubal pregnancy is…
I say I do… He starts to explain it…
I’m trying to hold my composure, but I can not. I break down in tears… Follow the link in bio to continue reading.

12 Weeks…we made it, kid.
Tomorrow turns 13 weeks. We will officially be through the first trimester. .
This is the longest I have been pregnant. .
This is the longest I have worried (thus far) consistently in my life. .
This is the longest I’ve gotten to daydream and imagine the LIFE and LOVE of our child. .
And as I am over the moon excited, I can’t help but think of everything that may go wrong. I push down the fear and focus on the positivity… but I wish I could see and hear our baby every day or at least once a week for peace of mind. I wonder if this residing anxiousness is some type of post-traumatic stress disorder from having past miscarriages? But I know that so many people have these feelings even without experiencing any pregnancy loss. I don’t know… sigh.
One day at a time.
One healthy choice at a time. .

Precariousness,
Like a storm cloud shadow looms,
Protect our baby. 💫

They are not your right, they are not a burden, they are not your property and they are not to be taken for granted.
.
They are a gift, they are the rarest of treasures, they are the most incredible love you will ever receive. .
.
Today I was terrified and yet again I was reminded how god dang special these babies are. How truly incredible it is to be carrying a 5th baby. .
.
At lunch time I called Clinton barely able to get the words out “I’m bleeding”. I instantly thought how would we tell the kids, how do we break their little hearts again and tell them another baby is going to heaven. I was so completely terrified. I don’t think I could handle the words, there is no heartbeat. .
.
I’m pretty sure I didn’t take a breath from the moment I saw blood until I laid on the bed looking at the screen to see the smallest flicker, thanking all my lucky stars. There was still a heart beat. I could feel my own heart beat again I felt the anxiety, stress and all the emotions lift the slightest. .
.
Pregnancy after a stillborn is so scary, to go into it with the full understanding of the heartbreak that comes along with holding your angel baby in your arms. I’m grateful, im excited, im appreciating every second. But I’ve never been so scared in my life. .
.
Babies are a gift, children are the biggest gift you will ever receive. Never ever take them for granted because reguardless of gestation or age you’re never truly guaranteed the pleasure of watching them grow. .
.
Let’s hope with strict no heavy lifting as well and taking it extra easy we will have the joy of bringing this baby home in 30 weeks and this all being a distant memory. Because I’m not sure if I could handle having another live in heaven 💙💙💙

Day 74 – 11.25.19
Monday
A bit tired but made it to school on time. It was good to be back. The kiddos were happy to see me and I had missed them. At the end of each period, I showed this Google Slide – it was groovy to watch their faces light up with excitement! ☺ My 7th graders are pretty stoked. That was the best part of the day 💜. . .
😑
.
Otherwise, the day was a bit stressful with an unneeded situation that must be dealt with. Facebook popped up the quote which was ironically quite fitting to it all. ::sigh:: I tried relaxing and enjoying the fact I was home but my mind fixates when something is unresolved so the evening and night was spent in agitation and angst. 🌨
.
Then, I got the email declaring a snow day for Tuesday due to the blizzard moving in. Yay to a snow day before the Fall Break begins – an extra “day off.” But it also means shoveling snow, ugh! After being in Texas’ beautiful temperate weather this is unfortunate. Lol. Oh well! Still good to be home. .
