22 Weeks!

I am so thrilled to be 22 weeks pregnant!! Just a few weeks ago I didn't know if we'd make it this far. We only have two weeks to go to viability! 🙏🙏 

Right now I don't have any cravings, but my nausea is completely gone, so my appetite is back. I literally gained three pounds last week... I definitely need to slow it down on the cookies. We've been home for the shutdown since March 13th, so having 24/7 access to my cookies and sweets has definitely NOT been helping my healthy pregnancy goals. 

My subchorionic hemorrhage seems to have slowed down recently. I'm not cramping or as uncomfortable as I was a few weeks ago. I definitely feel like the daily magnesium helps, if I don't drink my natural calm in the morning I am sore by 1:00 or 2:00. 

Samuel is still a very active baby! There are times that he kicks me so hard that it tickles and I laugh out loud. I tend to wake up every morning at about 2:30 to go to the bathroom, and some mornings he is so active, bouncing about that I can't get back to sleep until about 4:00. My nickname for him should be JB, because he is my little jumping bean!!

New York City Trip with Liam!

For Liam's 10th birthday he wanted a night in New York City with me. We talked about this trip for months and hemmed and hauled over what to do or where to go. We considered doing a trip to Jamaica to one of the all inclusive resorts before finally settling on a night in New York City together.  We booked the actual trip the week before. We took the Amtrak from Harrisburg to New York City which was extremely convenient. There is a parking lot just under the bridge from the train station which cost only $6 a day!  We booked a hotel on priceline but in the future I will just book with the hotel directly to use my Hilton honors points.  When we got into the city we went to our hotel to drop off our suitcase and we were fortunate enough to be able to check in early we relaxed for a few minutes before we headed off towards times square and then the world trade center memorial.  While we were in times square we went to the tkts window to get Broadway tickets out of discoun...

My meds, my experience and my faith 💗

I'm not the most eloquent writer but I want to record my experiences and the meds I am taking.  Meds and supplements to prevent a first time loss *Vitamin D due to my deficiency and like between low D and miscarriage * NO caffeine due to limited studies that show some people with caffeine sensitivity are prone to unexplained loss  *Magnesium, by drinking Natural Calm, every morning - recommended by Dr. Sheri Hamersley  *Progesterone 200 mg orally. I doubled up until 8 1/2 weeks to 400mg.  *Lovenox 40 mg every night due to recommendation from Dr Hamersley *Vitafol OB prenatal with iron added  *** Vitamin B6 and Unisom. I started this at around 8 weeks because of nausea.  Meds I changed and added because of sub-chorionic hemorrhage *After every major bleed I take extra progesterone in the morning.  * I had stopped the B6 at 13 weeks when my nausea subsided. I resumed it at 19 weeks to get to help my SCH heal  *I take additional magnesium to calm my ...
