How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week?

I am 28 weeks 4 days so I am an eggplant becoming an acorn squash :)

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?

I am quickly approaching the gestational age that I delivered Avery at (31 weeks 3days). I broke into the 3rd tri, so that was a pretty big milestone.

QOTW: Have you or your SO had any baby related dreams since you got pregnant? (Good or bad?) 

I have had a couple that were neither good nor bad, just had a baby in them.  My sil (who is also pregnant) had a really cool dream about a month ago.  She was having some unexplained pain and was a little worried from that.  She had a dream that we were sitting in a booth with my two year old nephew and both of our new babies, when three people approached us.  One was her deceased grandma, one was Avery, and one was a man she didn't know that looked like my brother (we showed her a picture of my grandpa who she had NEVER met, and it turned out that the man was him!)  She said that they all came up and told us that there was no need to worry.  They then went through each trial that we have had and told her what they were doing to protect us.  Avery said that she had been guarding Blake throughout everything and that she helped us to get pregnant again when we were ready.  My grandpa and her grandma also rattled off several very low times in our family and said what they were doing to get us through the struggle.  All three of them promised that the new babies would be fine and that they would always be protected.  It gave me chills and made me cry.  She said that Avery was still little like a baby and looked like herself, but that she walked up smiling and talking just as plain as day.  She told us about all of our loved ones who greeted her in heaven and said not to worry about her either. 

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

I have a leaky left boob at the moment, which is weird since that never happened with Avery. Other than that, I am wrapped up in preparing for Christmas.


My precious daughter Avery Alis was born on 2/16/12 at 31 weeks 3 days. She cried squeaky little cries and opened her beautiful blue eyes. Her tiny chest was too small for life and she grew wings about an after her birth. Rest in peace sweet angel. Lilypie Angel and Memorial tickers Lilypie Pregnancy tickers www.averyalis.blogspot.com

Coming up on 23 weeks, a big banana squash.

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?

V day will be next Wednesday according to my doc, though I know I ovulated late so for me it's not until Saturday. I have never really put much thought into this since we lost Patricia so much later, but I suppose it's still a nice milestone to reach. Last night I had really bad gas pains and it was causing some painful contractions and I got really scared, even though my cervix has always been over 5cm and closed.

QOTW: Have you or your SO had any baby related dreams since you got pregnant? (Good or bad?) 

My DH had a dream where there was a live baby, so that's good. My dreams are rarely baby-related, though I have begun to let myself daydream which is scary but a big step.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

Tomorrow is my last day of work for the year and I am really looking forward to it! Today is DH's last day of finals then he is off as well so we will have lots of free time to spend together. I hope we can do some fun activities and not just lay around watching TV!

How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week? I am 19 weeks today.  Is that a banana??

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? Yes.  My a/s is on Monday -- I'll take any spare T&Ps for a healthy LO and no signs of PTL.  Also, my loss milestone is in 11 days, Christmas Eve.  I'm really hoping that my Christmas present will be being able to say that I'm more pregnant than I've ever been.

QOTW: Have you or your SO had any baby related dreams since you got pregnant? (Good or bad?)  I had one last night!  I dreamed that I was over 30 weeks pregnant (30w4d, to be exact).  I remember being super excited in the dream because I'd made it that far.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? My upcoming a/s, my loss milestone, and spending the holidays without my son.  I think about him every day; this should have been his first Christmas and it's all just making me so sad.

I had my rainbow baby!! Her name is Violet Soleil and she was born 12/7. 6 lbs. 13 oz. and 19.25". She came at 38w exactly.

I will hopefully find time to write my birth story soon, I'll post a link as I will probably put it over on PgAL.

Good luck to all the other PgAL mamas. May your LO's be worth the wait and stress!
