Text of the page (random words):
ot to see him and spend a minute with his head resting on my shoulder he was taken out and jason went with him after they worked on closing me up for what seemed like a long time the doctor came around and very calmly told me my uterus had ruptured just as they opened me up i lost over a liter of blood they patched me up as best they could and i would never be able to be pregnant again it was later explained to me that if we d waited any longer both wil and i would have died because of the additional complications instead of being taken to recovery in my room on the ob wing i was taken to the regular recovery area my family had gathered by this point and were informed of what had happened i was later told that jason collapsed to the floor sobbing after about 45 minutes i was returned to my room where my family were waiting for the next 3 days i mostly recovered just like any other cesarean patient because i was diligent about taking my prenatals and iron supplements my rbc count and whatnot were excellent which let me avoid a blood transfusion i had a steady parade of hospital staff visiting me wanting to see the miracle patient and her baby it was overwhelming in the end i recovered better than i had any right to expect since then we ve spent most of our time adjusting to life with an infant and a 2 year old it s hectic stressful and absolute heaven i had a tubal ligation performed 7 weeks after birth i decided and my ob agreed that it was the safest course it was incredibly depressing and i imagine it will take me quite a long time to come to terms with it i came back to work after 8 weeks which was far too short a time i do love my job though so that makes it easier betty has been wonderful at first she avoided ignored her brother but now she hugs and kisses him gets upset when he cries and thinks that his binkie always needs to be in his mouth breastfeeding woes will have to be for a different post i was yet again unsuccessful posted by jamie at 10 38 am 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday december 13 2014 30 weeks and i stink at this i m rubbish at blogging these days i hope that someday i look back and don t beat myself up for not chronicling like i wish i could this pregnancy has been normal compared to betty s not that anything is ever normal after you ve struggled with infertility and then loss i had my anatomy scan a follow up anatomy scan and those will be my last ultrasounds no weekly growth checks no nsts it s surreal i ve had some fantastic news in the last couple of weeks my twin sister got her bfp her first ultrasound is scheduled for next friday the 19th and i get to go with i m so excited she s due 7 23 i m technically 30 weeks and 2 days but it s close enough for the stats belly i look as pregnant as a feel which is fairly significantly weight gain i m up about 16 lbs symptoms i m exhausted achey and sore all of the time especially my hips and lower back cravings aversions milk a cold glass of milk i haven t drank milk since i was a small child my body must know that wil needs the calcium right now clothes i can wear any of my normal tops that are fairly long i can still squeeze in to my elastic waist work pants but i prefer full panel maternity pants so comfy movement i ve reached the stage where i can recognize his waking and sleeping patterns he s a strong little guy occasionally his kicks are very uncomfortable but i still love every one feelings on gender we re having a boy meds my hormone levels have been good so the endocrinologist is keeping me on 40 mg hydrocortisone split up three times a day my a1c came back normal and thus far my blood sugars have been normal mood fatigue makes a little quiet and occasionally grouchy what i miss walking up and down stairs without pain appointments my next ob appointment is 12 29 i m going to physical therapy for the first time this coming wednesday as the suggestion of my ob i m really hoping it brings some relief my endocrinologist decided that my lab results have been consistently good enough that he doesn t need to see me again until after i deliver such a change from the endo i had when i was pregnant with betty i m perfectly happy not having labs drawn every 3 weeks medical concerns cah and managing hormone levels i passed my 1 hour glucose test with flying colors woohoo coming up my sis is throwing me a shower in january i was a little hesitant to have one given this is my 2nd child but circumstances are so different i live in a different part of the state that i did with betty and i m having a boy instead of another girl so i do actually need things it still feels a little weird i m excited though posted by jamie at 7 30 pm 1 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday october 20 2014 welcome october iclwers hello iclwers it s been ages since i ve done one of these my blogging has really been lax since my sunshine baby was born 20 months ago i m hoping that a new audience will kick start my motivation to chronicle what s going on in my life i m jamie i m 34 years old married to jp for just under 4 years but together for 8 i am 3 1 2 years post op roux en y rny gastric bypass surgery there s a link above if you re interested in reading more about it i suffer from non classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia ncah which effects my fertility very similarly to pcos untreated it causes elevated testosterone levels insulin resistance anovulation etc despite these hurdles i have a beautiful daughter with whom i went through iugr and placenta previa and am 22 weeks along in my 3rd pregnancy and if all goes well we ll have a son in february i miscarried my 2nd pregnancy at 13 weeks in march of this year testing revealed a genetically normal baby so i really have no idea what happened as far too many people know a loss really effects any subsequent pregnancies feel free to poke around the few posts that are here if you have any questions for me please feel free to ask i look forward to visiting all of your homes on the web posted by jamie at 6 31 pm 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday october 7 2014 20 21 weeks and anatomy scan so i ve been really terrible about updating getting to a computer with a toddler is nearly impossible in fact she s presently standing in the chair next to me making a mess of some of her daddy s stuff and watching an episode of dora on my smartphone which she found and played all by herself my current job also doesn t allow for much personal computer time admittedly i m also at a constant level of fear i could still lose this baby technically i hit 20 weeks on thursday half way there yesterday was my anatomy scan which went splendidly we re having a boy much more importantly though is that he looks great he s measuring 3 days ahead and looks like he s going to be long he was moving and wiggling up a storm so they want to do another scan at my next appt in 4 weeks to see if they can get a better shot of his heart no cause to be concerned though we already had a name picked out he ll be william edward named for a life long friend of jp s who passed away a couple of years ago it means a lot to both of us here are the 20 21 week stats if you re in a bad place please feel free to skip this belly my family can tell that i m showing there was still one person left at work that didn t know i was pregnant until yesterday so i guess that also says something weight gain i m finally gaining i m up about 5 lbs symptoms tiredness has abated somewhat i ve been having a lot of round ligament pain constipated more often than not and my boobs have gotten pretty sore again i m already lactating when my nipples are squeezed i apparently also have no sense of tmi i think that comes with parenting cravings aversions bacon and eggs and anything spicy this is such a change from my first pregnancy where all i wanted was sweets clothes i finally hemmed my new and gently used maternity pants but i haven t worn them yet i m also still making do with normal tops that are slightly longer than normal tops i m going to be in trouble as i get further along plus size maternity clothes are not as easy to come by as xls were movement i m constantly surprised by how much movement i feel i think the placenta being in a different place than with betty is really making a big difference i love feeling him move it s the very best part of pregnancy i get a little sad when i think that this is likely the last time i ll feel a baby move inside of me feelings on gender we re having a boy meds my hormone levels have been good so the endocrinologist is keeping me on 40 mg hydrocortisone split up three times a day my a1c came back normal and thus far my blood sugars have been normal mood i feel generally fantastic i still cry at the drop of a hat but nearly always at happy things what i miss not a thing appointments my next ob appointment with ultrasound is 11 3 next endocrinologist on 11 25 medical concerns cah and managing hormone levels finding a healthy balance of weight gain coming up life and everything that comes with it here s your dose of betty for this week as well as a little bonus from our gender reveal photo shoot that ended up being a complete disaster posted by jamie at 6 57 am 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday august 22 2014 helloooooo 2nd trimester my visit with the endocrinologist on wednesday went fine i don t respond as well to the hydrocortisone as well as the dexamethasone which is normal as a result my testosterone and and 17 hydroxyprogesterone were a bit above normal he adjusted my dosage and the times of day that i take it and we redo labs in 3 weeks he is also apparently concerned about my blood sugars and wants me to start testing it twice a day i can t really think of any reason why other than that i m 40 lbs heavier than i was when i got pregnant the last time and most of his patients are diabetic so maybe it s in the forefront of his mind i ll play along i m sure it s for the best the next round of labs is probably also adding aic and whatnot betty s 18 month well baby checkup is in an hour it ll also serve as a follow up for her middle ear infection she had a week and a half ago during which she spiked a 102 6 fever yikes i m anxious to see how much she s grown here are the 14 week stats if you re in a bad place please feel free to skip this belly i can tell i m showing but i doubt anyone else can unless i throw on a maternity shirt like i did today the cute ones that gather at the sides would make a flat stomached woman look pregnant weight gain i m actually down about 2 lbs though i have no idea why symptoms i am exhausted breasts are sore and i m in the potty even frequently occasional constipation cravings aversions i still really want some indian food i also had a mad craving for a breakfast subway sandwich the other day which i sated clothes my work pants are starting to feel a little snug i splurged and bought a lot of gently used maternity clothes off of a facebook garage sale site i ll need to hem the pants as i m freakishly short but they should last me the duration movement i felt the baby do a flip on wednesday evening there s no way it could have been anything else feelings on gender my brother in law says girl and he s never been wrong we ll see meds the endocrinologist switched me from 30 mg of hydrocortisone split up twice a day to 40 mg split up three times a day mood still occasionally emotional i m also starting to feel a little more confident which scares me if i think about it too hard what i miss sleeping through the night i can t seem to get comfortable and just as i do it s time to get up and potty appointments my next ob appointment is 9 9 next endocrinologist on 9 25 medical concerns cah and managing hormone levels finding a healthy balance of weight gain coming up the weekend woohoo here s your dose of betty for this week posted by jamie at 11 18 am 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share

to use the same set of bullets as i did with betty if you re in a bad place please feel free to skip this belly i can tell i m showing but i doubt anyone else can weight gain i haven t started keeping track yet symptoms i am exhausted breasts are sore and i m in the potty frequently cravings aversions i really want some indian food clothes i never stopped wearing maternity jeans after my miscarriage they re just so comfy all of my other pants and tops still fit movement sometimes i swear i feel flutters but i know it s not possible just yet feelings on gender no idea meds i ve been to my new allergist who switched me to meds safer for pregnancy i see my endocrinologist on wednesday mood i m only a little more emotional betty has an ear infection and it s been really hard seeing her in pain what i miss sleeping through the night and caffeine by extension appointments my next ob appointment is 9 9 medical concerns i m trying not to worry about much yet i don t know if iugr will be an issue again or not coming up betty will be 18 months on the 20th she s getting so big posted by jamie at 6 29 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday august 5 2014 milestone passed 11 weeks is when my last baby stopped growing passing that point in this pregnancy and with my next ultrasound scheduled for 11 weeks and 4 days i was very anxious for a few days i m happy to report that pistachio is still going strong s he was measuring 4 days ahead and had a beautiful heart rate of 159 beats per minute i m still taking everything one day at a time but passing this point is a big deal i have 3 more days on progesterone and then i m done i m trying not to drive myself crazy wondering if being off of it will cause any problems there was never anything to suggest that my progesterone was low but it s reassuring being on it all the same i ve decided to go ahead and start weekly bump pictures and maybe even weekly posts like i did
