Here I am at 13.6 weeks pregnant with baby #2. I'm huge! I look 18-19 weeks pregnant. I know, I know.. 2nd pregnancies you get bigger faster, but still! I would like to think it's due to the fact this baby is measuring so many days ahead. We have a little porker taking residence in my belly. And I want him to keep going, make me big and fat and uncomfortable. I'll be the happiest uncomfotable pregnant women on this Earth.
(cheesy smile, huh?)
I COULD point fingers at this guy for the growing porker. Imagine this guy in the fetal position 26 years ago. He was 10lbs and 24" at birth and now is 6'6" and wears size 18 tennis shoes. But IF that was the case, how was Nolan SO SO SO SO tiny? Makes you wonder how things all come together. We never once thought we would face such a thing like IUGR with my husbands size. He's freakishly huge! LOL
He would SO kill me if he knew I posted this pic. And yes he is on the unmade blow up mattress, I was making too much noise getting ready for him to take a nap in our room.
So I would like to say, so far so good. We have 2 battles we are wanting to overcome.
#1 IUGR
#2 Pre-e/HELLP
Looks like we are heading in the right direction with #1. Too bad #2 can show up anytime, anywhere, unpredicted and take things away from you so fast.
I just have to cling to hope that all these things are just one more light shining on the big finale. Bringing a healthy baby home, in our arms.

I am a day away from being 10 weeks and I look like I did when I was pregnant with jordan at 18 weeks
Im praying for you and baby! grow baby grow!
Yeah I'm showing a lot too. Oh well, I'm like you...I'll do whatever it takes to get this baby here alive & healthy. It's kinda nice to be showing though...makes you feel more pregnant while you're still early & not feeling movement.
You do look great. I am sending so many positive thoughts forward for you and your rainbow baby.
Thanks for telling me about the doctor in Nashville. I saw Dr. Speer, who at that time was in with Dr. Fortunato and Dr. Lombardi. They were wonderful.

Its not an easy road one bit, but I am here for you!! I would love to be able to talk with you more often! Because I have SO many fears and worries, but in the end, it wont help.
