Maybe I'm Amazed: Microblogging Monday

I feel like I could just plagiarize my own post from here (MG's first ultrasound).

There was a heartbeat. And a baby. Measuring RIGHT where I thought it should be. It put my LMP date 1/3/2018... the First Wednesday of an Even Year. UN-BE-LIEVEABLE.

We have our NT scan on 4/2/2018 (the day after Easter and the day before my cousin's due date)


Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time 
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you

Waiting on a Moment: Microblogging Monday

Waiting for my appointment - and ultrasound- is torture. I'm a big fan of stress eating. I just had 1/2 a container of onion dip and chips. Hub and I have called onion dip stress dip since it's my go-to for stress snacking. Unfortunatly, I'm nauseous. So I'll regret that soon.

Tick tick.

Waiting to check on my huge, tiny in size surprise.

(Have I mentioned my last natural pregnancy was 6 years ago- Blue Sunday. I'm I insane for this hope growing?)

First Week of January Strikes Again

Buckle Up.

So I have posted that the first week of January on even numbered years for the past 6 years have been eventful.

2012- termination
2014- due date and eventually birth of Kins.
2016- transfer of MG

This year, 2018, we nearly lost our 12 year old Lab Puck (but we didn't!)


I had this theory that I would have a few years of good things on Even Year Januaries to make up for the Big Bad Thing. Since this was bad-turned-good, I thought MAY BE we were done with events in January all together. Then we went on vacation and MG was burned by spilled hot water. I'll post separately about it but basically she had a scald burn on her chest covering about 9% of her body- a mix of first and second degree. They almost sent us off the boat. However they didn't and docs at home think she's going to be just fine. Phew.




So then I thought- well two big things in January - may be that's enough for my streak to be satisfied. With a return to bad, may be I can have normal Even Year Januaries from now on. Then... then Thursday February 1st happened.

Guys. I'm pregnant.




I guess the universe is still trying to give me good things to make up for the big bad thing in 2012.
