Welcome to the 2nd Trimester... Baby Young is 14 Weeks!

Three months have gone by since we first found out that we were expecting.  It makes me excited and anxious at the same time to think that little Baby Young (Lil Bit) will be here in just six months.  I cannot stop thinking about labor and the process of pushing a baby out! It terrifies me!  I received some much needed wisdom: to look at the bigger picture and the happiness and joy of holding our baby which makes the few hours of uncomfort worth it.
Sara had a Dr.'s appointment on Tuesday 7/10/11 which consisted of a sonogram to  measure the neck lobe to check for down syndrome and a blood test to check for spina bifita.  Baby would not cooperate for the ultrasound technician, which was fine because I got to lay there for about 45 minutes and watch lil bit move around on the screen, still can't believe that that active baby on the screen is in my tummy and I cannot feel a thing!  I told the technician that it was ok if she could not see the neck lobe because It didn't matter if this baby had down's or not, we would love it either way.  She said that the baby probably knows that I feel this way and that is why he/she isn't cooperating!!!  A few minutes later the tecnician gave me a piece of chocolate to eat to see if that would help calm the baby down.  Sure enough she was able to get the picture she needed, thankfully she said that everything looked fine! :)

14 week sonograms- feet, hands and profile!

This weeks cravings:  Ice Cold Water, Orange Juice-right from the container, Ice Cream (any flavor), and most of all Roasted Tomato & Mozzarella Panini’s.
 
Bought my 1st Pair of Maternity Pants on my lunch break because I could not breathe at work!

"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 ...

An Angel Above

My sweet sister-in-law shared a beautiful letter with me that she wrote to Madison. I know the words came right from her heart. I cannot express how much it means to me that our beautiful baby touched her life in the way that it did and I am so thankful to have her in my life She wanted to post it to her blog with my permission, which of course I gave. Here's a link to her post dedicated to Madison, Mike and I: An Angel Above
