mantra

Today I am pregnant and I love my baby.
I am pregnant until someone tells me otherwise.
My past does not dictate my future. 
A previous m/c does not mean I will have another m/c.
Just because something sad is happening to another someone else, does not mean it will happen to you.
We all know m/c and complications are not contagious!
Hope does not make bad things happen
You cannot ‘jinx’ your pregnancy by creating a ticker, getting excited, or telling someone. 
Live in the positive!

And this is the hardest one: 
There is nothing I can do to prevent a m/c from happening. Worrying yourself sick doesn't prevent a m/c. And if, God forbid, it were to happen again, I know I will survive.

Repeat over and over when sadness hits.

holy nap-oly

I am not complaining, but I just want to document this pregnancy just like my last one.  Yesterday as I was driving home from work I had the AC blasting and Maroon 5 (great to sing along to) blaring and I still was about to fall asleep.  My eyes were so droopy and my head foggy.  Thankfully, Sara called halfway through the drive and talked me the rest of the way home.  I got home and Chris was right behind me, but I made him be quiet around the house while I took an hour and a half nap.  It did make it harder to go to sleep last night, but I feel a little better today. 

So far no major nausea, sometimes I think I am nauseous, but it could just be because I am hungry ALL THE TIME again!!  I ate watermelon and chocolate ice cream at 9:45 last night.  hehe

5 weeks

I am not about to start the belly pics yet; as there is no need to see that flabbiness.  I feel like I already look about 10 weeks pregnant.  It is just left over from the twins' pregnancy.  I have already purchase a fabulous one piece bathing suit to cover it up!

As for pregnancy symptoms, I have been getting a little more tired, I have snuck in a few naps here and there and I don't know if it is just me trying really hard to drink 64 oz of water or the pregnancy, but I am peeing a lot already.

Ok, baby sparkle snuggle in nice and tight.  We need you to stay in there for about 9 months and be our take home baby. 

lil spark

So, Chris wants to call the new baby lil spark. Kinda cute too~!

baby # 3's new nickname

"I dost declare thy newest baby's nickname shall be............... BABY CAKES!  
Jeanna Queena

Hehe!  This is the text message I sent to Chris today!  When I didn't hear back after an hour I asked him if he approved, and he said that I had declared it so it was so!  But, I did have to have my king's approval!  :)

I thought Baby Cakes was fitting as we already had an A and B and this baby is C.  Also, baby cakes was my nickname as a baby....probably b/c I looked like I had ate a cake!  Check out those fat arms and I wonder why my nickname is queena??  Look at all those toys!

 

And this might be why I don't LOVE animals like the rest of my family!  

And wow that is some serious baby fat!

beta results

12DPO my number was 35.6  (3 weeks)
16DPO my number is 338 (4 weeks)

Doubling time =1.22 days.

They like the numbers to double in 48 hours, my tests were 96 hours or 4 days apart so they wanted a minimum of 140, so 338 is a GREAT NUMBER!!! WOOT WOOT WE ARE PREGNANT AGAIN!!! 
Here is the little HCG chart I have been staring at:

You know what I love about this chart any my numbers is that we are normal!! I don't need another stressful pregnancy.  I just want one perfect healthy baby.









Thank you Lord for this opportunity to carry another one of your precious children, please keep this little one safe and deliver them into our arms in February.
