Little Miss or Little Mister?!?

Our next Dr's appointment will be August 15 (three weeks from today, yes I am counting down the days!).... also known as the "anatomy scan".  Hopefully baby will cooperate so we will be able to find out the sex!  Something, or some little voice inside of me is telling me that we are having a BOY.  I will be surprised to see girly parts on the screen.  Don't get me wrong... Mike and I absolutely have no preference either way, we will be happy with whatever we get.  Some days I day dream about decorating a boy's nursery, other days I can't stop thinking about a girl's nursery and all of the cute frilly things that I can buy! We'd be in BIG trouble!
How far along? 16 weeks!
Total weight gain: 5 lbs

Maternity clothes? YES! Received TONS of clothes (Thank you Kerry!) and wearing lots of high waisted dresses... it's 100 degrees today!

Stretch marks? NO... still lubing up after the shower.
Sleep:  sleeping great, waking up on my back--which is strange.
Best moment this week: Getting to meet and hold Lincoln James Singley, born 7/20/12.

Movement: I think so... not 100% sure what I felt????
Food cravings: Grapes (must be green and also cold), Orange juice, Pizza
Anything making you queasy or sick: perfume/cologne people wear at work
Gender: almost
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: None
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time:  Happy! but not much of a morning person (this is normal)
Looking forward to: Gender appointment on 8/15!

I saw you in a dream...

  Madison Sophia Young Born into Heaven Sunday, November 18, 2012 I saw you in a dream Before you were real I can't explain the way I feel Don't ask me to try It makes my heart cry Love created the seed that attached itself to my heart The seed became a life To me became a part The mystery of how it begins we will never know What makes a seed begin to grow What makes a heart begin to beat Growing little hands and little feet What makes it look like you or me Is simply just a mystery The cosmic force that makes me whole Is bound up in your little soul You hold my hand from inside out I feel you turn and dance about I don't know what's in God's plan He took you by your tiny hand Your beautiful little angle face Is now a part of time and space Your purest soul that's ever been Will never ever be touched by sin I cry, I weep, I cannot sleep I think what might have been Thank you for the joy you...

"So, how's the baby?"

It amazes me how different peoples reactions are when I tell them I lost my baby. All in all I've only had to answer this question about six times. I know that it doesn't sound like an awful lot but each one still manages to throw me into a funk. Yesterday, three people, today one. I play these conversations over and over in my head and wonder how the other person took the news. It all starts with a sweet, innocent gesture, a simple: "So, how's the baby?" I reply, "Unfortunately, we lost her". If you can imagine the look of someone seeing a ghost, that's about the look I receive. I've heard: "I'm so sorry", "God Bless You", "that's not the answer that I was expecting" "Oh, I totally forgot!" (guessing this person knew and asked without thinking?!?) Some people blush and look like they want to run away, some gave me a hug, some say they will keep me in their prayers. And before you know ...

Due Date

Welcome to 2013.....2013, the year we were so excited to become parents, have a family and welcome our daughter Madison into the world. When you first find out your "due date" the day is forever engraved in your mind, your body, and your soul. You tell everyone the date and circle every calendar that you own. You count down the weeks until your due date and say it countless times as it's usually the first thing someone asks you when they find out that you're pregnant.  For us January 10, 2013 is that date. There is no guarantee that she would have actually been born on this exact date, but as this date gets closer I can't stop wondering when her actual date of arrival would have been.  January 10th, it seemed like a lifetime away when I saw my first positive pregnancy test on May 4th 2012. I have to say that the 32 and 1/2 weeks that I was pregnant flew by very quickly.... and here we are now into January and I feel this empty feeling inside as I...
