Month: December 2019

Day 92 – 12.13.19
Friday the 13th Full Moon
🌚
Long day but a good day.
And enjoyable short night.
We are puppy sitting this weekend – oh, how much energy! A bit exhausting. 😉LOL. It is so easy to forget after you have pups all grown up. Precious little bundles of constant need for vigilance. I spose we can consider it another moment of baby practice – hehe. 🐶
I was standing in the living room talking at one point tonight and caught Whit admiring my tummy. She thinks it is easy to see the top of my tum getting firmer. It feels more firm but down low is not protruding yet – when you’re a thicker woman the whole fun “baby bump” seems to take so much longer to enjoy – kind of a bummer. 🤷‍♀️ But it is what it is and eventually I’ll round out which will be neato. I can’t wait for our appointment on Tuesday to have our ObGyn check again. 🤰
I crashed on the couch around 8pm – I couldn’t hang anymore. I do feel better, though. I didn’t even take a Benadryl all day until about 6pm so that is a good sign, I hope. The cough is still lingering, mostly when I lay down. Grrrr. We shall see. I’m just glad it is Friday. And the 13th. And a full moon! 💜

Gonna miss my body but I’m so excited for the little bump! 🍼🥺🤧😍😘

19 weeks and 2 days! I feel like my belly is MASSIVE but when I take photos of it, it looks smaller than what I see…it’s so confusing. I feel like the size of a house but clearly this pic doesn’t show that… you’ll just need to take my word for it 🤷🏻‍♀️ .

Had another scan today, and we could see a heartbeat ❤️ They could also see a hematoma around 50% of the sac and I was told to expect more bleeding, although I haven’t had any in the last week. 😢

My concern is the hematoma keeps growing and could potentially come away with the baby and sac if it surrounds more of it. I know there’s nothing I can do about that but some positive stories would help 🤞🏼

Today started dreary with both the weather and my mood. By the time I left for my appointment the sun had peaked out and while driving I saw the biggest and brightest rainbow (I really wish I got a pic)! I prayed that it was a good sign.
Now to the details…
The embryo was tightly nestled to the side of the gestational sac, we saw the yolk sac and the flicker of the heartbeat at 115-118 bpm, and we are measuring at 6w3d which is right on track. This was all good news and the technician was so thorough and kind. Her only concern was that the gestational sac is on the large side, so she ran this by the doctor who said to come back in a week for a re-check. The tech said she has seen this many times and to try not worry. My husband researched a bit and found the only negative outcomes with a larger gestational sac are when an embryo or yolk sac aren’t found (which thankfully isn’t our case). So we go back December 20th for a second scan which would put us at 7w4d.
I would love to hear from anybody who has had a large gestational sac in early pregnancy and what their experience/outcome was! Any advice or suggestions are always appreciated!
Oh, and I have been so stressed out today that the hubby was a sweetheart and took me out for pho 🍜
