"Baby Girl's Ultrasound"

Well I thought I would start this post with the good news first. Today we went to see how baby girl had grow, well she was at 1lb 5oz. This means that she gained 5oz which seems good. Her movemets are well, and her heart sounds good. So now for a little bad news I guess you could say. Baby girl is now measuring 2 weeks behind, where as two weeks ago she was only measuring 1 week behind. So she has gone backwards in that area. Also before she was falling in the 16th percentile for size, but today she went into the 11th percentile. So she is definitely going backwards, even though she has grown some. I just know in my heart that there is something more to this. So tomorrow is my actual appointment with my OB, she has great judgement and I trust her. I will know tomorrow on really how this pattern is going, and she is going to strict bed rest me or not. So ofcourse I only have some answers for now. Atleast she grew some, instead of not at all. I just can't see past the fact that she keeps falling behind more and more each time. Thank you for all your concerns and prayers. This has been an ongoing thing, and it is getting stressful and exhausting. I will have more info again tomorrow for everyone, so check for that. Talk to you all tomorrow.

"Prayers For Baby Girl"

I just have to start by saying that, there is no such thing as to soon for prayers. I had done an update on December 18th saying baby girl is small. She is still small, but we found another bit of news that was a little discerning. My dr. appt was this Monday, and I was told that my uterus hasn't grown now since November 30th. That is definitely one of the main signs of growth restriction in the fetus. The main problem is that this happened with devin, but it didn't happen with him until 30 weeks. I am only 24 weeks right now, and I'm afraid that this is happening alot sooner with little girl. Which the result of this can mean an even earlier delivery than devin, if you don't remember he was born at 33 weeks. Anything below that just really scares me to death. There are so many things that could be wrong if they are born earlier. I just pray, and I hope you all will to that we can get her here safe and healthy. I am praying to get to atleast 30 weeks, if we get further, then it is just a plus. Please all I know it's christmas and you are all busy, but please pray for my baby girl. Chris and I already love her more than she knows. We appreciate all your love and help that we were already given with devin. I will have real answers december 30th, and I will be posting more then.

"Seeing Santa For The First Time"

I knew devin would only be 8 1/2 mos old when we took him to see santa, but I had to see his reaction. It was the funniest thing, he just kept staring at him. The few pictures that we did get of him looking at us, were like a deer caught in headlights. Devin seems to give this look alot in pictures. I am just so excited to have kids now for christmas's, it makes you remember what it was like. I think it makes christmas fun again, I am a kid myself at heart alot of the times. I just hope that we can make some fun traditions with our own new little family. I can't wait for our little girl to get here, so we can enjoy a son and a daughter next year for christmas. It will just be double the fun, and a little bit of chaos :)

All bundled up to go home after the fun adventure to see santa!!

"Devin's New Christmas PJ's"

Dev's grandma marcario gave him these christmas pj's. They are the cutest I think. I just love the little reindeer on his feet. I know everybody thinks that their kids are the cutest, and I guess I'm no different :) He looks the CUTEST in these pj's though. I love having christmas this year with devin, he is such a happy loving little guy. I could not ask for a better baby really. I guess this is why #2 is on the way, we base alot off of devin. I have a bad feeling we could be in for it with our sassy little girl. Devy doo mommy and daddy love you so much, and can't wait for christmas morning with you :)

Baby Girl Is Small

Well well well here we go again. Unfortuntely this time we are hearing about this sooner than Devin. Which at the same time is good so that we can try to slow the process of growth restriction, if that is what's happening. So the story is we went to the hospital for an ultrasound, and were told that she is small. Basically they judge everything off of percentages, and she is in the 16th percentile. Babies that are considered growth restricted are in the 10th percentile. So at this point doctors are not calling it that yet, but she is right on the borderline. We go back Dec. 30th for another ultrasound, I will be 25 weeks then. They will have a much better idea if her growth pattern is continuing in the wrong direction. For now I have been put on modified bed rest, which I have to say is not fun at all. It drives me nuts to not be able to get up and do my simple cleaning etc.... I just thought I would give you all some insight as to why I have been behind on blogging lately. I have been preoccupied with devin ofcourse, and now baby girl being a little sassy in my belly :) We hope the best and just want to get her safely, even if she is small and early again. I mainly just want her healthy and home sooner rather than later. Well I will have more posts of a little more fun stuff. I'm working on it this weekend, until then talk to you all soon.
