One that I can share with my family and friends and all of you. This blog has been my sounding board.... it has been my "safe" place where I can go and vent and share. It has meant so much to me to have all of you as followers and I hope that you follow me to my new blog. </div><div><br /></div><div>I wish I could have just continued this blog but there are a lot of things on here that I dont want our family etc to read and know. I am not hiding how we got to where we are but my raw feelings that I voiced on this blog could probably hurt some feelings and that isnt what I intended so a new blog was the answer.</div><div><br /></div><div>So here is the new URL: http://daniel-worththewait.blogspot.com/</div><div><br /></div><div>PLEASE COME SEE AND FOLLOW ME <3</div><div><br /></div>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14111587875861437054noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315947952431126512.post-52759617157172609432011-06-10T13:00:00.000-07:002011-06-10T13:41:58.997-07:00Updates Galore!I have been a bad blogger again and I am so sorry!

I was diagnosed with Polyhydramnios (too much amniotic fluid) and they were looking to find out why. They didnt see any issues with Foster's kidneys, stomach or swallowing. They sent me for my 1 hour glucose test early and IT CAME BACK NORMAL!!!!!! No GD for me =) So they dont know why it is so high. We went back for another scan at about 29 weeks and the fluid level was a little bit better but still high.<br /><br />At the 29 week scan at the MFM we found out that Foster weighs 3pounds 7 ounces!!!!! He is a bog boy and his head was measuring a ittle over 2 weeks ahead (ouch).<br /><br />Thirdly, I had some baby showers since I have posted!!!! So here are the details:<br /><br />First first shower was May 22nd and was thrown by my best friend Kelli, friend Chelsea, and friend Meghan! It was my "friend" shower. It was so nice and everything was perfect. It was at Kelli's house and it was so great to see all my friends and celebrate Foster. It was a really surreal day because we were celebrating a baby that a year ago I thought may never be. What a difference a year can make, huh?! Here are some pictures from the shower:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsmUx7P-3CYs7Uan16iZkkRiqj_Aitn2gRiVamKZMARBowN2lX-bbFHEyO6WiwrIrCMcYVoWAUsYsKnDe9DSrd3la0Vsu4N26FpX4pCnta2kqP1Q3HqmdR9hW1CNr8cuwLD60uRvVxdcY/s1600/DSC00853.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

I called my OBs office and it took FOREVER (15 min but it felt like forever!) to get thru to someone. They said to go straight to L&D. So DH turned around (he was just pulling in to work) and came home and got me and took me to the hospital. </span></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px; " >When we got there we went up to labor and delivery and the bitchy (sorry for my language) receptionist was checking a couple in and wouldn't acknowledge us. I could feel the bleeding and I was panicking so finally after 5 minutes of so I creeped up to the desk and asked if I was in the right place. She didnt even look up at me and said "UH-HUH". I wanted to punch this woman but instead stood back waiting and crying. They finally checked us in and put me in a room. The nurse came in and hooked me up to the monitor and after a minute I heard his beautiful heartbeat which hadnt sounded quite that beautiful since the first time I heard it. Music to my ears. He was moving around and ok, thank goodness.</span></span></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 15px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" >The Dr came in and did an internal... OUCH! and also some swabs. She also did an internal ultrasound to look at my cervix and placenta.

This time she thought the placenta position looked fine.</span></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 15px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" >Then they drew blood to look at a bunch of stuff including clotting factors because they were worried I was having an abruption.

I have been wanting to quit because I am so mistreated so I really do need a new job anyways. He sent me a bunch of very mean emails yesterday and made a big to-do about me seeing more patients than is humanly possible today so this was the WORST day that this could have happened.

This week I started to feel really big, like very pregnant feeling and hard to bend and pick things up and uncomfortable to put on shoes etc.Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14111587875861437054noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315947952431126512.post-58369205024634498922011-04-06T17:38:00.001-07:002011-04-06T17:38:50.910-07:00Part 3 of Level 2 U/S at the hospitalEverything looked good and after the past 8 weeks of Foster being breech he was head down today. I am sure that he will flip many more times but its nice to know that he isnt completely avoiding it, haha.<br /><br />Anywho... everything continues to look good. We had increased fluid in one quadrant but nothing to worry about now they said. They also said that because of our high risk status for heart defects they are sending us to Children's hospital to have a fetal echo done (a specialized heart ultrasound basically) and then they wanna see us back at the MFM in 4 weeks. He still brings up amnio which we told him we would possibly do at some point after 28 weeks and he completely agreed and was fine with it. So no downs markers seen this week.<br /><br />I guess the only thing that confuses me is that I thought I would have the level 2 u/s and then if things looked good they would be done with me and I would be back to just seeing my OB. Instead they always have us come back in 2, 3 or 4 weeks and they send us for other specialized tests. I am glad they are being cautious and thorough but I just wonder if we are much higher risk than they are portraying. It seems like maybe they dont want to worry us too badly or make us freak out. I am sure when they are telling us that things look good they actually are but I guess we are just really high risk. We will see what happens at the echo in two weeks!Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14111587875861437054noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315947952431126512.post-5594650567459446812011-04-03T19:39:00.000-07:002011-04-03T19:43:13.604-07:00HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!Today marks one year since I started this blog and made my first blog post!!!!<br /><br />I ant believe how much has happened in this last year. When I started this blog we had been TTC for 11 months already. We had been through 8 medicated cycles and a couple (cant remember how many at that point) IUIs. Since I started it we did more IUIs, an IVF and a second frozen IVF (FET), got pregnant, STAYED pregnant and I am a little over half-baked. Oh how a year can change so much. 2010 was by far the most trying and painful year of our lives and this year it is so different. <br /><br />I cant wait to look back at my 2 year blogaversary and see what the next year holds!<br /><br />Thanks to all my readers/followers. I love you all!Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14111587875861437054noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315947952431126512.post-73346119417632279542011-04-02T21:52:00.000-07:002011-04-02T22:04:52.964-07:00HALF BAKED!

<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">How Big is The Baby: He is growing to be a big little boy. At the OB on wednesday we had our anatomy scan and they said his weight was 13 ounces, so he is almost a pound! They cannot measure his length anymore because he is too long to stretch out. This week he should be bigger than a cantaloupe.</span></span>

<br />
<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Sleep: Other than waking up to pee a TON and our dog, Lola, deciding that she has to go out in the middle of every night too, I am doing ok.</span></span>

<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">What I Miss: lunch meat.... to be honest, I am eating it but only once in a while and I wish I would eat a sub every day for lunch. I feel like the things that I want to eat are all the things I am not supposed to be eating.</span></span>
<br />
<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">What I'm looking forward to: Feeling Foster move finally!!!!!</span></span>

I forgot to ask them the exact measurement at my ultrasound but he should be about 8 to 9 inches long from rump to head so with his legs I would sad about 11 inches?! Oh my goodness, my baby boy is getting so big, and it shows in my belly size!<br /><br />Total Weight Gain: I was miraculously not gaining weight from weeks 11 thru 15 but now I it seems that I gained about 6lbs since week 15 =/<br /><br />Maternity Clothes: Shirts are a MUST because my normal clothes are not long enough. Pants is a mixture but mostly pre-preg pants with no buttoning or zipping and a BE Band. Sarah (my friend and neighbor) let me borrow a bunch of her maternity clothes so now I have a couple sweater and a pair of jeans to wear =)<br /><br />Sleep: I wake up to pee like twice during the night now and I cant sleep in but sleep is ok at this point.<br /><br />GENDER: to quote the u/s tech "Its DEFINITELY still a boy and he's proud of that thing". Haha<br /><br />Movement: This is a sore topic for me. He is making tons of movements but I am not really feeling them or at least not that I know of. I am still so sad that I have this anterior placenta!<br /><br />Food Cravings: Fruit, sweets/desserts, milk, juice (cran-grape!)<br /><br />What I Miss: Nothing really.

They said that they did not see any further markers for downs. While this is reassuring we are still on the fence about an amniocentesis because after NT Scan (the one that we got bad results on) 50% of downs babies show no further markers on ultrasounds. So, like I said, its reassuring but doesnt give us any definitive answers. <div><br /></div><div>Foster was being a little stinker and making the ultrasound tech work for her images! He kept moving right when she went to take pictures. It was SO neat to see his heart valves and chambers up close. I was absolutely amazed and once again fell in love with Foster even more.</div><div><br /></div><div>Overall it was a GREAT week. This was my week off of school in between last quarter and the new quarter that starts tomorrow. </div><div><br /></div><div>On wednesday we got the bedding that I ordered from Pottery Barn Kids. It looks like this: (You cannot tell in the picture very well but the detail is in light green, there are scallops all around the top and bottom of the bumper and the ties are green.

First I want to give credit to Jen @ <a href="http://worldofdennifer.blogspot.com/">The World of Dennifer</a>, again, who gave me the idea and how to that I tweaked!<div><br /></div><div>So here is a list of supplies:</div><div>1- 12x12 shadowbox (or whatever size you want to make). I got mine at target for $9.98!</div><div>1 (or in my case 2)- Paper Punches- I used Martha Stewart paper punches because they word really well.</div><div>1- 12x12 (or your size)- white piece of cardstock to stick all the punches onto</div><div>Cardstock in patterns that you want to punch out of (paper is too thin and you really need something thicker to use so cardstock works great!)</div><div>1- Small package of Glue Dots </div><div>1- Ruler</div><div>1- Pencil</div><div><br /></div><div>Steps:</div><div>1. Gather materials</div><div>2. Use the punch (or punches) to punch out your animals/shapes</div><div>3. I marked 1 inch margins around the edge of the cardstock so that I wouldnt cover up any punches and it would be symmetric (because I am obsessive). </div><div>4. I then went across the top with a ruler and made a tiny dot at every inch to put the punches on. I only marked the first row. </div><div>5. Stick the first row of punches to the paper and then follow each row. (I did an outline of owls then did elephants, which were wider, in the center so my center rows had more space between elephants to accommodate).</div><div>6. Use ruler to apply all other rows in straight fashion</div><div>7. Place in shadowbox!</div><div><br /></div><div>Tips:</div><div>- Press glue dots down FIRMLY</div><div>- Lay out all the punches before you glue any to make sure that you like the pattern and that you dont have any identical pattern punches close together (if you are OCD like me).</div><div>- Have fun!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidzwvjXZE33LFq07-BXFUBszJvImAv2vRSEuyWxhWo9KJdF3av_WF7_lyb5JMLdnUImdkgJVTzDnKt1mtsVn-OVjeFMoGW93kCISqptv3Q1BFX4CaV2gUFpSdNX9y0aqbrn7oSq0TfSO0/s1600/DSC00544.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidzwvjXZE33LFq07-BXFUBszJvImAv2vRSEuyWxhWo9KJdF3av_WF7_lyb5JMLdnUImdkgJVTzDnKt1mtsVn-OVjeFMoGW93kCISqptv3Q1BFX4CaV2gUFpSdNX9y0aqbrn7oSq0TfSO0/s400/DSC00544.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584800710715101890" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8snVyd5SPxCoQHJMYRBe_oXtd_OeE_Qq0pqSGHndQsWQ8bSYDrHT8UzjjljHx2WuhmN22c3Hxp3mXx3didkg-lCHwC17dsyz43hbkCFn0WwUYEo8OFacV3SEkJ6UETbISAaSCZr7aLQM/s1600/DSC00546.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8snVyd5SPxCoQHJMYRBe_oXtd_OeE_Qq0pqSGHndQsWQ8bSYDrHT8UzjjljHx2WuhmN22c3Hxp3mXx3didkg-lCHwC17dsyz43hbkCFn0WwUYEo8OFacV3SEkJ6UETbISAaSCZr7aLQM/s400/DSC00546.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584800702175043042" /></a>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14111587875861437054noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315947952431126512.post-15212982218623669772011-03-14T21:36:00.000-07:002011-03-14T21:48:59.816-07:00Some more nursery sneak peeks!<div>Our glider came in for the nursery that my parents for for us.

Well this is one of those songs for me. I remember the first time that I heard this song. I was in my car and I almost couldnt drive I was crying so hard. The words of this song reached out to me and my (at that point) failing journey through infertility. These words specifically:</div><div><br /></div><div>"When you try your best, but you dont succeed</div><div>When you get what you want, but not what you need</div><div>When you feel so tired, but you cant sleep</div><div>Stuck in reverse</div><div><br /></div><div>and tears come streaming down your face</div><div>when you lose something that you cannot replace</div><div>could it be worse?</div><div><br /></div><div>Lights will guide you home</div><div>And ignite your bones</div><div>and I will try to fix you"</div><div><br /></div><div>When I was painting the last coat of blue in the nursery closet this song came on and I had to stop painting and just listen. The words were the same but they meant something different. I felt like this song was uplifting instead of painful true and sad. I remember being there, I remember feeling lost, I remember how much it hurt to be where I was before..... but now I feel like I see the lights that will guide me home. I didnt even know where to look for those lights before. </div><div><br /></div><div>Like I have said before, infertility changed me. I cant change back. I will NEVER forget what we went through. It still hurts but I feel so blessed to be where I am now. I am SO unbelievably thankful to have Foster growing inside of me. I wouldnt change this for the world. To be honest I wouldnt change how I got here either. I dont wish the pain that we felt on anyone, not even my worst enemy, but because of all that pain we are different people who will appreciate our miracle baby so much more than the average person. Foster will never question how much he is loved, I know this for certain. I marvel at his ultrasound pictures because he is truly a miracle.</div><div><br /></div><div>Last night when I was watching <i>One Born Every Minute</i> there was a surrogate mother giving birth to a baby for a couple that had battled infertility and didnt come out on top like we have so far. I cried so hard at this storyline on the show, not because it was sad but because Justin and I had that conversation. We actually thought that was something that we might end up having to pursue. It took me back to that place and it was hard. The surrogate on the show was such a compassionate and caring woman. Her interviews were so heartfelt and it was so interesting to hear from her point of view. She said the no couple comes to surrogacy without a heavy heart that has felt such an immense amount of pain. Noone wakes up one day and thinks "Gee, I think we should have a baby by a surrogate". She was so understanding of the gift of a child and said that she treasures her own children so much that she wants everyone to know that feeling. It made me think how amazing it would be to be a surrogate and give that gift to couples who cant have it any other way.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you made it this far then thanks for reading my whole long pregnant/emotional/horomonal post =)</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"><br /></span></span></div>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14111587875861437054noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315947952431126512.post-70772691536814150312011-02-28T14:29:00.000-08:002011-02-28T14:46:13.929-08:00Nursery Progress Report!<div>Here are some before pictures of the nursery.
