How baby Mae flew into our lives…
I am not saying that she was born fast, btw. She was actually AIRBORNE when she came out because she came out with such force!

Yes, it has been forever since I updated. We have gotten married and moved!
Now, to unpack.
Mae is still a girl, as of our last ultrasound (checking on placenta location which is all good too!) and is measuring right on. They confirmed at that one what I already sort of knew, she was transverse!
The past two days she is turning vertex though. She turned 2 days ago, stayed vertex yesterday, went back to transverse this morning and by this afternoon was vertex again.
Silly baby!

Ive been horrible about updating. So busy getting ready for the wedding and the move… and in the past week I went from sore to barely able to move…
Went to the doctor for it yesterday, she suggested going to a chiropractor. Went to the chiropractor today, he told me my pelvis was tilted… pushed it back where it belongs and now I feel better. Not completely better, but better enough. At least I don’t feel like crying from simple movements!
Oh and baby… is a she! Maeryn Jean… and she looks just like her daddy. The ultrasound was so amazing, I saw her dancing and wiggling and playing with her fist… and yawning…
I saw her lips, she has her daddys lips! and face shape… I noticed the same about my other daughter on her first ultrasound and it was right, she is like my little clone.

I am getting anxious to know if this is a boy or girl. I am dead set that it is a boy though. 2 weeks from today we will schedule that ultrasound.
My hairy belly has me convinced boy…
and the fact that my morning sickness hasn’t really gone away yet…

Well I havent been posting here much lately but to be fair… I have been bouncing around between sick and healthy-but-busy.
After my sinus infection from Hades left, I flew to NC to visit Ry. I got to meet my midwives (LOVE them) and Ry got to hear babys heartbeat… he had the biggest smile on his face!
Monday morning of this week I woke up at 2am in so much pain that I ended up crawling into the tub with warm water to relax. Terrified, I called the doctors office and told them I thought I had a really bad painful bladder infection. They told me to come in to pee in a cup as soon as I could pee again.
So about 10am I walked in, the receptionists looked at me and said… Oh you do NOT feel good at all today huh? We have an opening you are going to see the doctor today. (My appointment this week was Wednesday so it saved me a second trip to the doctor)
Peed in a cup, declined being weighed at my midwifes request (luckily my doctor is okay with this as long as I weigh myself at home and inform them if I suddenly gain or lose a bunch of weight) and headed into the room.
Doctor came in (and I love her to death) giggling about Honeymoon Cystitis (in other words I got the bladder infection from not being so careful after seeing Ry again since it had been so long… makes perfect sense to me too!)
Asked me how I felt… I said I felt like a football player had kicked me in the lower abs/pelvis.
Went over all my stuff (allergies and what-not) and as she was talking about the amoxicillin I mentioned going to a musical that night and wondering what I could do about the pain… so she put me on prescription AZO… Oh my gosh this stuff is like miracle pills? It had me peeing festive easter colors and within 2 hours of taking it I hardly hurt, within 12 hours I didnt hurt at ALL anymore. I knew I would still have hurt if it werent for the pills… because if I would cough or turn wrong I would still feel it.
Today the pills are out of my system and Im still feeling better, thank goodness!

I have been so sick for the past 6 days… I have just spent an hour sitting in front of the computer, longer than I have managed since Friday. Im not sure what is wrong but it feels like it is finally going away!
About to go take the first belly pic of the second trimester… my belly will be growing FAST soon… as if it hasn’t already. It sticks out considerably… which is amazing since I have actually LOST weight since getting pregnant! I am down 11 pounds!

So tired, but the second trimester is quite obviously almost here!
A bit sick, but not in the tummy. Just my throat. I cant wait for spring… really really cant wait!

My baby is around 2 1/2 inches from head to butt… wow.
My morning sickness is almost gone completely! Fatigue is still crushing.
I got a doppler in the mail today. Cannot wait to play it for Ry when he gets home from work!

I saw my tribble today!
One little tribble with a really fast heartbeat. It’s still so unreal that I am carrying a little person in me. This being my third child you would think Id be used to the idea but no… so surreal!
