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!

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...

My Forever Child

I received my beautiful custom charm necklace in the mail today from My Forever Child .  My necklace was made with Madison's actual footprints which were laser etched from the scan below. I am so thrilled with the way it turned out. This brought a smile to my day! Madison's Footprints I smile every time I look at the second toe on the right foot... it is exactly like Mikes! This beautiful poem was also included with the charm...  

Mason's Birth Story

March 13, 2014: Even though we knew that I was going in at 5:00 am the next morning for a scheduled c-section, the day couldn't come fast enough. It had been a long nine months and we could not wait to meet our baby boy. The night before the big day, Mike and I ate an early dinner at Outback Steakhouse since we knew it was going to be the last good "going out to dinner" we would have in a few days, or possibly weeks. We went home, packed for the hospital, loaded the car and tried to relax. We got a few hours of sleep the night before, maybe 2-3 to be exact but we were running on adrenaline at that point. March 14, 2014, 3:30 am: The morning the alarms rang loud and clear! Time to go. We hopped in the car and drove straight to Northside Hospital, check in was a breeze and before we knew it I was in a hospital gown getting prepped for surgery.  The time flew by, right up until 7:00am when it was time for the epidural. After a very long hour of testing for numbness it was ...
