5 Month Pregnancy Pictures

I am currently 5, almost 6, months preggo. A lot of people say that I don't look it, but when I wear this tight shirt, you can definitely tell. Enjoy!

Praise the Lord!

I recently recieved a phone call that absolutely elated me! I had gone to the specialist and when I did, I had my routine (not routine for a "normal pregnancy") blood work done to get a blood titer count. (I guess this has to do with the antibody found in my blood..I do NOT want these in my system, or I want a very low number!) I had been praying that the baby was doing good, because when I went to my last sonogram, I felt a "comfort" surround me. The nurse called me back and my blood titer count was at zero! (A very good thing!) I was thrilled to hear that! Please pray that it stays this way so that our baby girl won't be harmed!

Thanks for all of your prayers!

I go back at the beginning of December for another sonogram. More blood work to come before that.

It's A Girl!

Breaking news! We recently went to the doctor and found out our "little boy" is going to be a little girl. Both the nurse and specialist declared they were 90% sure the baby was a girl. I am so glad Jaelyn is going to be a big sister to a little sister! We are thrilled!

Also, my appointment on 10-29-2008 went very well. The baby is growing great and is currently at 14 oz.-almost a pound! She was throwing her arms everywhere. It was such a joy to watch her! It's nice having all these extra sonograms this pregnancy so I can keep up on her. I will upload these sonogram pictures as soon as I can!

Thanks for your prayers!

Sonogram Pictures

I had my first Ultrasound on September 15th. At this time the baby weighed 4 oz. My scanner is broken so I took a picture of it for all to see. Sorry it isn't the clearest. Enjoy!

The first picture is the profile. The second is it's face, I believe. And the 3rd is his feet, trying to show it's a boy.

Proof of Pregnancy

I've decided to keep track of my growth each month by taking photo's. I've added Month 1, 2, and 4. Month 3 is lost on my computer somewhere. :) You can actually see my growth fairly well. (As of 10/07/08, I am 4 1/2 months along.

Appointments

I am so far behind on blogging that I decided I would wrap my last 3 appointments or so into one and try to keep you updated! I had my second appointment and everything is going well. The babies heartbeat is normal and my tummy is growing fine!

I also went to my first specialist appointment and the doctor is awesome! He has informed me of so much and has made me feel very comfortable with the situation. I had my first sonogram and the baby was sucking away! He, yes, he..is growing fine. They explained to me about the situation and how they monitor the baby's blood (to make sure he is still doing ok) through a blood vessel in his head or through my blood. He was too small to measure it as of now but the doctor assured me for the time-being that he was just dandy and enjoying his life in the womb. We decided to find out the sex of the baby and the woman told us she was 60% sure it was a boy! We are thrilled. (I know it's only a 10% raise from 50%-but it's still a raise!)

I went to my 3rd appointment not too long ago and they ordered more blood work. My nurse called to inform me that this blood work also came back good. I am still growing fine and the baby's heartbeat was good as well. (152)

I know it's not much of an update. Really, just to tell all that everything is going great! Thanks for all of your prayers and keep them coming.

I go back to the doctor on the 15th of October and the specialist on the 29th of October for another Ultrasound!

First Appointment

On August 12th, I had my first appointment. My doctor wanted to see me when I was offically 10 weeks along. The first appointment is always dreaded because of all the girlie test stuff that has to be done! Not to mention, more blood work. I got a call back today, August 18th, with some not so good news. As they were testing my blood, they found positive anitbodies in it. Nothing to worry about yet, until more tests are performed. The doctor said not to worry until we find out more information! She explained my blood and the growing baby's blood are clashing. Yes, very weird. She also proceeded to make an appointment for me to see a specialist and get more tests done, such as a titer. As she hung up the phone, I was more confused then I was when she first called. So, I dragged out my What To Expect When Your Expecting book and looked up "titer". It mentioned rubella antibody levels and how they will just keep a close watch on my as I progress so the baby isn't harmed. I'll leave you all with this information and be sure to post more after my 2nd appointment on August 26th. And, as I meet with the specialist on September 15th.

My Pregnancy

Hello All! You are all probably familiar with my blog of Jaelyn and her life, so you are probably expecting me to do another blog with our second baby on the way! One of the reasons I decided to start early on this blog was for my sister-in-law and best friend, Melissa. She was sure to tell me that I better keep her updated with this pregnancy! Everyone else also wants to be kept updated and this is the easiest way possible to do so.

I started to suspect I was pregnant during the end of June when I was moody beyond belief and always tired. I waited a couple weeks before giving up to a test on July 8th, our 2 year wedding anniversary. And sure enough, an anniversary blessing was on the way! Not to get my hopes too far up, I waited, then again, a few more weeks to call the doctor. As soon as I did, they wanted to get my blood drawn, like usual. (Just to be sure.) I went to the lab to get my blood drawn, Matt pushing me every step of the way, due to my fear of needles. My phone rang on July 18th and I prepared myself for a long, 9 month, journey because I was definitely preggo! Yes, another baby Pollock due on March 9, 2009. We then began to tell our families and friends and all were excited! We would like to thank you all for all of your prayers throughout this baby-making process!
