Halloween 2021

 Halloween this year was fun, and perfectly timed with family activities and memories. Liam handled Trick or Treating really well. For maybe the first time EVER, there were no meltdowns, no freakouts... it's amazing to see him mature and just show his authentic awesome self to other people! 

Pumpkin carving was disgusting, as always. I have to admit, that of the more frivolous things I have really regretted post-divorce, not having someone here to carve pumpkins is a huge problem for me :) I don't mind the cutting. I hate the scraping, the goo, the stuff on the back of my hands, yick....! 

But this year's pumpkin carving had a 9 year old helper who wanted to do it himself. We carved pumpkins on the deck, with Sam toddling around while Liam and I worked. It was a sweet, sweet family moment I want to always cherish! 

This year we went Trick or Treating in our new neighborhood with the neighbor kids who live behind us. I am so fortunate to have awesome neighbor moms to talk to and that Liam has kids his age who seemingly enjoy playing with him! My mom came over to hand out candy while we walked, and then put Sam down at 7ish while I finished the neighborhood with Liam. My life is so very beautiful in so many ways, I am so grateful and I am also glad I have the good fortune of being able to SEE the beauty! 


Happy Halloween :)

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.

Celebrating 32 Weeks... with a DVT!!

Well this week has been ... Interesting. On Monday I noticed my arm hurt at my previous IV site. It was sore and also intensely painful right at the IV site. So I just waited it out and observed... Overnight the pain woke me up twice! In the morning I knew I had to be seen. I went to urgent care. They ordered an ultrasound. The ultrasound showed too blood clots--one in my brachial vein and one in my subclavian vein (a DVT!).  They had me go to the ER. So I went to Frederick. They sent me home with increased dosages of Lovenox, 80 mg twice a day.  Starting the next day I had groin pain. And by Thursday I was dizzy. Soooo back to urgent care I went. They did an ultrasound and a CT scan and blood test. I'm anemic, but nothing was wrong. Whew! All I needed to do was 20 minutes on the monitor with baby before I left. Well... I started having contractions. They're my usual evening contractions but they alarmed the midwife enough that she wanted to keep me and give me more IV fluids....
