Where's 12? 13 Weeks Goodbye 1st Trimester!

What a crazy week we had in week 12! I was admitted into the  hospital. Okay, so the previous week I went for my "1st official OB Appt." They found my sugar in my urine was high. (4+) So they sent me off for testing for diabetes. This was Weds 3/14/2012. On Monday 3/19/2012, I get a phone call that I am Diabetic. They think it's type 2, but we're not certain because i was never tested before. I had to pick up a monitor and test my sugars the next day. The next day (Tuesday 3/20) comes around. I test my sugars in the AM.. AM Fasting test should be under 100. Mine was 167. After breakfast it jumped to 274 which under 130 after meals is normal. I was quickly admitted to the hospital. I was there until Friday AM. They took good care of me, showed me how to give myself insulin, showed me what meals were going to be good for me, monitored the baby very well, it was boring but worth it to know the baby was okay. Now i'm home giving myself insulin 4 times a day. Testing sugars constantly and adjusting insulin based on my sugars and carbs.

10 Weeks and going STRONG :)

Happy to be in the 10th week of this pregnancy! Feeling very fortunate and very blessed. Last year at this time we were mourning the loss of our first set of twins we lost on 2/26/2011. I will never forget about our 4 angels we lost last year. It's the hardest thing I've ever been through in my entire life, and I wouldn't wish that upon anyone! I pray everyday that our little peanut stays strong and it makes me feel better knowing this lil one has 4 angel siblings looking over him/her.
Well last week we had the scare on weds that i blogged about, but then the next day, we had an ultrasound with a friend at Look Who's Kicking Ultrasounds :) Angie was awesome! She let us watch our lil one go to town moving around! Feel free to check out the video here: Baby V 9 Weeks 5 Days  It's amazing to be able to see this! :) It makes me so happy to see this one so active! :)

Feeling very blessed! :) 9 weeks down, 31 to go!

We had a scare yesterday. I started spotting. It was immediately after using my medicine which I won't go into much detail about. Knowing my history of miscarriages, I kinda freaked out a little bit and couldn't stop crying up until around 2:00 when curtis came and picked me up to go to our emergency ultrasound. We both were very upset and worried. We then went back to the ultrasound room, and as soon as the baby popped up on the screen, we searched for the heartbeat.. The ultrasound technician measured the baby and everything is perfect! Apparently when i used my meds yesterday, I may have bumped my cervix since it's swollen due to pregnancy. This has never happened before in the last few weeks i've been on the medicine. But everything is great! It was fun because the ultrasound technician said she never really gets to see the babies at 9 weeks, so she played with the 3d ultrasound and we got to see our baby that is starting to resemble a baby!! :) Check out the picture! Isn't it amazing??? :) Heartbeat was 180 bpm this time! Up 10 bpm since the last ultrasound :) Below the 3d Ultrasound image is the regular ultrasound image which looks like a peanut :) Everything is going perfect right now :) We feel very blessed!
