 2/16/14

Another snow storm this weekend. I am sick of the snow and feeling trapped in the house. Especially because right now our kitchen floor is torn up, the whole room is a mess. We are having a tile floor put in.

My appointment this week went well. The heartbeat was there, and everything seems good so far. My next appointment is a week from tomorrow for the anatomy scan. And finding out the sex of the baby. Once we know the sex I feel like I can finally start planning the room, buying things, registering for gifts, etc. Trying to keep my thoughts positive that everything will be okay and the baby is healthy.

I am still on a Modern Family kick, but I’m also watching Orange is the New Black. And the Winter Olympics.

Since November I have been sharing the entries from the journal I kept during my first pregnancy. This is where the original pregnancy journal entries end. The following week, at the anatomy scan on February 24, is when we found out that the pregnancy was not viable and that the baby had severe, lethal abnormalities. I didn’t go back and “finish” that story until earlier this year, almost two years later.

I suppose this story picks up again in April 2014, when I started this blog.

We never found out the sex of the baby. But, I thought then and still think  now that it was a boy.
