8 wks (as of last Wednesday)

I am now 8.5 wks pregnant with miracle #2!!! Heartbeat is great & baby is measuring 3 days ahead (Cody did the same thing) We are so blessed & excited to be having another baby. I am back on my heparin injections & baby aspirin therapy again. However, I am now used to injections after so many fertility issues and then my pregnancy with Cody. Cody is doing amazing. He says mama, da da, ba ba, & "no". He also shakes his head "no" when he doesn't want something. He is still not crawling, but will pull himself up and walk around things. He does get in the "crawling" position, and will push himself around but not a "crawl". He still only has 4 teeth. He was also hospitalized again and is RSV positive. He seems to be getting better though. He was in the hospital for 2 days. I took him to the ER one night and he tested positive and the er doctor released him. I told the er doc that he would only get worse and since he has asthma things go downhill pretty quickly. Well, the idiot didn't listen and a few hours later Cody quit breathing on me 3 times, so back to the er we went and he was hospitalized at that point. Really makes me mad when a doctor will not listen to me!! Cody's pediatrician is the one who told me to take Cody to the er, we were at her office and she told me to get him to the er- she even called and told them we were on our way. She wanted him hospitalized as well. So, er doctor was an idiot. Kevin and I had to go to the coast due to a family member passing away. We stopped by the water as we always do and took a couple pictures. I have gained 14lbs this pregnancy already. *NOT GOOD* My blood pressure is also already up. Also not good. So, this will be a roller coaster of a ride but all worth it. Also, we still plan on adopting our child with Down Syndrome. That is not a dream that we have given up on. Not sure if it will be domestic or international- but it will be done.

In Awe of my Son

Cody is amazing to me. He is such a big boy! It is hard to believe that he is growing so quickly. I tried to get pictures of his 2 bottom teeth- but it was rough.

Happy 8 Months Cody!

Happy 8 months Boogie! Cody now has 4 teeth as well. He has his bottom 2 teeth that came through on 2/15 and also he has cut two teeth on the top, however they are his "vampire" or "canine" teeth (not sure what they are really called) Hard to believe Cody is already 8 months old as well. Went to my ob appt today and had another ultrasound and got a due date for our new little one of 10/20 which makes me 6 wks 2 days today. I saw a little heartbeat and it made my day. So, enjoy pictures taken of Cody today and his little brother or sister's 1st picture.

Good News to Share

Cody is going to be big brother! We are very excited. I don't know my due date yet, I go back to my OB on Friday for another Ultrasound to hopefully get my due date.. Please pray that the baby is okay. I am worried.

Cody Hospitalized

Cody was hospitalized due to 2 episodes of not being able to breathe. He has had an ear infection and that seemed to be getting better, but then he caught a cold. Poor little thing coughs so hard and so much. Anyway, Monday night he had a coughing fit and couldn't catch his breath. His eyes were huge & watery, his skin color bright red and his lips blue. After about 30 seconds he started breathing again. I thought I was going to pass out. Then a couple of minutes later it happened again, but this time it only lasted about 3-4 seconds. However, 3-4 seconds & most definitely 30 seconds seems like years when your baby is not breathing. So, I took him to our children's er. His oxygen saturation levels were in the low 80's. He was admitted and received 2 breathing treatments and then was just monitored to be sure that he didn't stop breathing again. He was released Wednesday. I am a complete worry wart about him anyway. He is fine now. I took him to his pediatrician yesterday and she gave us a nebulizer and a prescription for albuterol. He seems to be doing a lot better now.
