About Me
- Maria
- God has blessed me tremendously with an amazing husband, Doug, and two gorgeous little boys, Gavin and Joey. It has always been a dream of mine to have a large family but God may have other plans. I had a series of 6 consecutive early miscarriages when trying for baby #2. We are currently trying for baby #3 after our 7th miscarriage. I am faithful that God's plan is perfect, even when I am not happy about it. I love comments and meeting new followers so please don't be shy!

19 Weeks
Yep. I skipped 18 weeks. I blew right past it. It was a really busy week or so for us but busy in a very good way.
I met my new OB and I am pretty sure that I made an excellent move. He seems like just the doctor to be supportive of my birth choices!
I had already scheduled appointment with a genetic counselor this week so despite my lack of concern with genetic issues, I went anyway. I haven't yet seen the bill for this but I bet I am going to end up paying a lot of money for what really turned out to be some girl chat (fun girl chat) about funny things kids say, awkward situations that happen as a result of those funny things, and how our kids are our favorite people. She basically told me in less than 30 words that my risk was really low and the only reason I was there was because I am AMA. Advanced Maternal Age for those of you spring chickens. I have heard those 3 letters at least a dozen times in the last few months. I have decided that regardless of their label of AMA I have decided that I am going to begin wearing a red cape with the letters OBA. Old But Awesome!
The fun part of that appointment was that we got a nice long look at our little guy. Things are looking really good! The doctor (not my OB, but the MFM doc at the hospital that reviews the ultrasounds) wants me to come back again in 4 weeks so he can double check his heart. He wasn't concerned but just wanted one more peek before he gave his official stamp of approval.
So today officially makes me 19 weeks pregnant. Kind of hard to believe, really.
See you next week!

I love comments but if you are seeing this, I'm afraid that no one will see your comment. On the blog, I use Disqus commenting and it sometimes takes longer to load. Also, if you ask me a specific question, I am able to respond to those using Disqus. If you ask here, I am unable to reply. But, again, I love to hear from readers so however you comment, I thank you!!
