13 weeks

Baby #2 top picture
Baby #2 is on the way!! Hector and I couldn't be happier and Santiago is excited as well.  We started my pregnancy pictures with Santiago's pregnancy much earlier at 8 weeks, but I missed that mark with this baby because I was having a lot of complications early on.  I'm ready to start posting my belly pics....So now starts the beginning of documenting how HUGE I will get with this little one growing inside.    

I'm a little more than 13 weeks - 13 weeks 4 days to be exact and so far things seem to be moving pretty slowly.  During my 5th week, I took two trips to the ER and was diagnosed with a subchorionic hemmorhage (SCH) at 5 weeks 5 days.  I had a lot of cramping and bleeding off and on until I was about 11 weeks along.  During weeks 6-10 I had a lot of morning sickness, mostly nausea and then lots of vomiting during weeks 8 and 9.  I didn't enjoy feeling sick but I knew it was a good sign - being pregnant is the cause and to me this horrible feelings of sickness meant my baby was still alive and growing.  I carried the diagnosis of threatened miscarriage and SCH until a little before my 12 week mark when I went to the doctor for my 3 month checkup.  They did an ultrasound and found a very wiggly baby and a resolved hemmorhage.  I was so excited and finally felt like I could officially tell people I was expecting and stop walking on the egg shells being scared I was going to lose my baby.  I started showing pretty early - at 7 or 8 weeks - and although I have been thinking I am much bigger this time around at 13 weeks, comparing the pictures it seems like I am about the same.

We didn't find out the gender the first time around with Santiago, but this time we will be finding out.  I would love to have the surprise again, but I am outnumbered by Hector and many other family members.  It will be fun to plan for a little girl or boy this time around and I will just let the size of my baby be the biggest surprise! Santi was 9 pounds 2 ounces....I hope this one isn't bigger!

So stay tuned as our Odyssey continues and our family grows!
