16 weeks this week!

So this week I will be 16 weeks and officially 4 months along! Time sure is flying by with this PG.
Well since I am 16 weeks thought I would share some belly pics with you all. Pic #1 and 2 are my belly and Savannah and Marcus. The last is Scarlett at 6mths old. She loves to be swung around. So cute I must say.

OK back to the PG stuff, I see my OB for a check up tomorrow and then I will count down to my 20 week scan. Dont expect to get a call saying whether it is a BOY or GIRL! We are NOT finding out this time. I want that big surprise in delivery day. Since this is my last chance to be surprised I am taking it. Not saying it wont be easy...but we all have to be patient like back in the old days. LOL

After I reach 20 weeks....I will have 16 weeks left in my goal of 36 weeks in the PG. I am hoping to make it to 36 weeks as are my health care providers. We shall see how well I can take care of me and the baby this time.

As for my iron infusions, they are going well. I have had 4 so far and my blood levels have went from 9.6 to 10.3 after only 3 infusions. So I will start them again tomorrow and continue with 2 a week till my blood level gets to 13-14. I hope to feel better soon. Still tired but getting some bursts of energy here and there. They say you can start to see and feel better after a full treatment which is 8 sessions and the doc wants me to have 20 to 40 sessions. I dont think I will need that many but we shall see. Well that is enough of an update for now. Will update soon. -Terra

Officially 13wks!

So I call this me being 13 wks when I really have 1 day to go. What is a day?

I had my nuchal scan last week and all was well. So we are planning to have the next peek inside of my uteri when I reach 17-19 wks. Seems like a long time but not really. Oct is almost half way here already, so not far.

We are still undecided about finding out the gender and I really am trying to decide if I can live with never getting that surprise "it's a ?" after I push and go through all the hard work. I want this one thing to be in my control...and this is something no one else can know but me.....I can have mommy intuition but 100% knowing will be reserved for Tim, and I who are blessed to be present. Then they can announce it to the world.

I am truly thinking since this is my LAST chance to get a surprise....I want it. So TEAM Green here all the way.

Oh as for pics from the 12 wks sono....Here "lil Fabela" is...Showing a cute profile and also sucking on some fingers....oh so cute! Well Enjoy!










This Thursday I start seeing my Hemotologists who will watch my Hemoglobin and iron levels. This should help me have a healthier PG this time around. I hope all goes well. I will keep you updated. :)
