Today we had another appointment with our OB Dr Bopp for our baby Squiggle. We got to see him/her briefly (we wanted to make sure we didn’t accidentally see the gender, even though it is probably too early to see on the doctors ultrasound) and checked my blood pressure. All is progressing well. Squiggle had [...]

Today while I was laying down I definitely felt Squiggle move for the first time. It seems so early to be feeling the baby move at just over 12 weeks, but they do say that you feel them much sooner the second time around.

Today we had our 11 week check up with Dr Bopp our obstetrician, which means we got to see our little baby squiggle again!!! We were supposed to also see the midwife but she was unfortunately away sick, so next time we will have an appointment with her. It’s really just a formality, especially since [...]

Today we had our first appointment with our OB Dr Bopp (the same Ob as we had for our pregnancy with Addison). He was wonderful the first time and so there was no reason we should change. Dr Bopp did our first official ultrasound today and we got to see our baby squiggle for the [...]

After having a rough start to our second pregnancy with some spotting and light bleeding, I spent the week going backwards and forwards to the doctors and having blood tests. This week I had three blood tests done, two days apart to check that my hcg levels were rising like they should be (and they [...]

After our discharge from hospital, daddy loaded up the car with our things and put our precious cargo into the car seat for the first time. After a bit of a struggle to work out the car restraint, we were all strapped in and ready to go home. Daddy had even thought to do a [...]

Now that the discharge papers have been completed and I’ve been given the all clear it is time to get ourselves ready to go home! Here are some happy snaps from us getting Addison ready for our trip home . Doesn’t he just look adorable!?!

My obstetrician checked me over and gave me good news, we would be discharged from hospital and could go home today as originally planned! I just had to take care of myself (of course) and he was going to give me something to help clear up the infection. I just have to make an appointment [...]

After a very rough day yesterday the nurse came in to check on me at 4am as I was still in a lot of pain. Sure enough she found the reason why. Turns out that some of my stitches had burst, I was very bruised and had a nasty infection. I was told that I might not [...]
