Survival vs. Sorrow
The alarm went off at 6:45 this morning, signaling that it was time for me to get ready to go. I slowly sat up in bed, urging James to awaken, feeling overwhelmed and under-prepared for the morning ahead of me. We readied ourselves and drove to the Emergency Room. The guy that checked me in
Two Baby Becwars Await our Meeting
I have just returned home and settled down enough to update. The sonogram showed an empty sac. The doctor is pretty positive that I am miscarrying. Since nothing is showing up, including a heartbeat, it would appear that the baby has already been re-absorbed (great mental image huh) and this has been in the works
10 1/2 Weeks & Counting
So I’m officially 10 weeks and almost 5 days pregnant. That means: – My first trimester is almost over – The baby’s probably around 1 1/2 inches long – The sex of the baby is probably already determined and developed, though we might not be able to see it on ultrasound for a while yet.
UP and DOWN and UP and DOWN
So, contrary to popular believe, it is normal for most women to lose weight in their first trimester. This has worked out to my benefit because although my stomach is plumping a bit and I’ve bloated enough to make me feel quite pregnant, I continue to lose weight and doc pretty much aoks my eating
Dinosaur Burps
That’s what I sounded like this morning… a dinosaur burping. I think the flu has finally passed. Those who know me will not be suprised to know I went to a gun show and outdoor show and dog park Saturday, consuming a cheese dog, nachos, peanut butter fudge and lanjaegers. This is all, of course,
Shopping Fun
So, I have a wonderful sister-in-law here in Alaska who is up for any girly stuff as long as it doesn’t have anything to do with babies. She jokes that she’s missing that mommy chromosome. Lucky for her, her husband doesn’t really need to have kids either, so they make a good fit. My little
Morning Sickness?
Ok, if you don’t want details, skip this one… Early early on, even in the first pregnancy, I had symptoms. I was tender up front, my tummy wouldn’t stop rolling, I got a little gassier than normal… This week though, takes the cake. I still have drainage from the flu that had rattled me the
Baby Names
I’ve found at least one way so far to stay a little distracted from the pregnancy side-effects… trying to choose baby names. GIRL NAMES Anabelle Claire Becwar(Grace-Favour/Clear-Bright) Liesel Marie Becwar(My God is a vow/Bitter) Klara Adalene Becwar(Clear-Bright/Noble One) Brigitta Isabelle Becwar(The Exhalted One/My God is a Vow) Mirabelle Ilianna Becwar(Lovely/The Lord has Responded) Nicolette Becwar(Victory
The Beginning of the Baby Saga
So… last summer (2006), my parents finally came to visit me here in Fairbanks Alaska. On the day before they left, I took a pregnancy test – 3 actually – probably more because I’ve wanted kids my whole life than because I had symptoms, but who cares why – I took the tests. They came
No Explanation Neccessary
On March 27th, hubby and I went to the doctor for our final ultrasound. I had hubby come in case my “I am truly prepared – I can handle anything” attitude flew out the door. That and in case I got a case of the dizzys – this flu was still kicking my butt. The
