"11 weeks Already"

So I found this image of what a fetus looks like at 11 weeks. This is my third pregnancy, and yet it still never ceases to amaze me!! I actually am only a few days away from being 12 weeks already. I just wanted to post the week I am still currently in. So far so good with everything. I don't know if you all saw my earlier post, but I am doing heparin injections to myself now twice a day. I can't lie they really arent very pleasant, but hey whatever means getting a bigger full term baby right?! Chris and I are getting excited, but boy are our lives going to change drastically. So far I truly did not get sick this time, which is awesome. I feel great actually, and have to be honest I am leaning towards this being a boy! I feel alot more like Idid when I was prego with Devin. So being that I have had a boy and girl, certain symptoms are all I have to go off of. I could totally be wrong though and they tell me that I am getting another girl :) truly I am lucky to get one of each, so we really don't mind what this one is. I just want more than anything a healthy better pregnancy. With all they are doing with me this time I really feel that it is promising. I don't want to count my eggs before they are hatched, but I really think that this time is going to be different. I know that the lord has blessed us with this new bundle for a reason. I just need to sit back and put my trust in him. The last time I did that he gave me my beautiful little girl safe and sound :) Prayer works, and I know that he heard me when I prayed in the hospital every night to keep buying addison time. He did exactly that and did not let her struggle at all. I am grateful to be pregnant again, and be able to experience all that comes with it, even if mine are a little bumpy. I will soon start posting belly pics, but I don't quite have enough of a belly yet. So look for the first one in a few weeks, until then good night all.

"Our New Years"

Every year for the past 3 new years now chris and I go to dinner together. Westarted it when I was pregnant with Devin. We wanted to do our own thing because we knew the day were coming where we would have babies every new year :). Which don't get me wrong was just fine, but we still like our alone time too. So we left the kids with chris's parents this year and went to dinner at Iggy's, I had really been craving their bread and dip mmmm. Then we went and just hung together did a little shopping etc..... and went back to spend some time with family for the new year. I know were boring but we don't care, I have loved having the tradition of spending time together alone. Holidays are for family time, atleast that is always how it's worked with chris and I. So there is no place or people I would rather be with than my family. Well all to a happy new year, and enjoy the pics below......

"Duncan Christmas"

It was so awesome this year at the Duncan house for christmas!! We had double the fun this year with our two little munchkins. We got some really cute photos of christmas morning. Oh and don't worry our kids got 3 full christmas's each. Chris and I of course spoiled them, then it's off to my parents to be spoiled again, and last but not least the other grandparents to finish off the day of spoiling. I'm not kidding our kids had to of gotten 30-40+ things each. I'm talking brand new wardrobes for both of them literally, toys toys toys, dancing mickey the biggest craze right now, and some more clothes toys and toys again. It was awesome!! Chris and I didn't make out so bad ourselves either :) Well I think I summed up how great and giving our families are, but now let me show you in pictures!!! ENJOY.................

"Bring on the Shot"

So I got word today from the team of specialists that Chris and I now have for baby #3. I had to do some blood tests last week at my first appointment. They were testing for certain antibodies in my blood that may be a contributor to what causes growth restriction in my babies. It also is a contributor to placental insuffieciency, which is why may babies are small. So with knowing all of that, my test came back as moderate positives. Anytime you even have a slight positive in this case they see it as an objective, and they will treat it immediately. Well the only way to treat this and hopefully prevent a small baby this time is taking heparin shots. It is a low weight blood thinner that I have to inject into my stomach twice a day for basically the whole pregnancy. i'm not excited about it, but I am grateful that they may have found a breakthrough that will give me a shot at a normal pregnancy this time. So here's to getting shots twice a day everyday woo hoo............ wish me luck!!

"Diaper Disaster Twice"

So my poor little devin has a double ear infection :( I took him to the doctor on thursday. The doctor told me that his right ear was so full of fluids he couldn't even see inside it. In other words that meant he had a mean ear infection. The left ear was conjested, but it wasn't near as bad. Anyhow they of course put him on antibiotics and ear drops, but anibiotics can cause diarreah bad in babies or toddlers. Well with that being said my little man has been having some pretty outrageous blowouts the past two mornings. Thank goodness it was the weekend and I had Chris's help, because it was nasty. I went to go into his room both mornings and I just saw poop all over his sheets, hands, face, on stuffed animals Yikes!! I immediately called for chris to come in and help. It was so bad we had to wipe him down so much before we could even remove his pajamas. Once we got all of that done it was straight to the bathtub! There was no messing around with this disaster. I'm just hoping this isn't an every morning thing while he is taking the antibiotic, cuz I can't do it by myself in the morning. This was definitely a two man job. Thanks daddy for coming to the rescue, and doing all the cleanup :)
