The last few months have been quite crazy. We found out in June we were unexpectedly expecting. I say that because, I was still breastfeeding Emmett and I never got a period between his birth and finding out I was pregnant. So TMI but there it is. It can happen and it did. Shocked but happy! Lets just say it was the worst morning sickness I have had ever. I had to carry a bowl around with me everywhere and I couldn't drive or leave my couch hardly. Thankfully Jonathan was able to help me with the kids. Bless his heart. Around 11 weeks I started bleeding and after a ER trip we confirmed a heartbeat. I bawled like a baby when I heard it. We found out at our 12 week scan that I had complete placenta pre via (placenta covering the cervix). But the baby looked great and all tests came back normal.
So I was put on bed rest for the pre via. Hardest thing ever. Since I was feeling better from morning sickness but was put back in bed. We have had so much selfless help from people. I cannot express how grateful I am to those who helped our family get through the hard parts of bed rest. Long story short, after months of sickness and worry we had our 20 week ultrasound today. The baby kicked the ultrasound wand so much the ultrasound tech was laughing. My placenta pre via has resolved itself and moved posterior. I know for a lot of people that doesn't mean much but thats good news for me since that means my back labor will not be so painful during birth. I had a anterior placenta with Hunter and by far his was the hardest as far as pain goes.
Anyways, we found out our baby is a girl!! We had our suspicions since I crave tomatoes and salad and morning sickness was so bad like it was with Autumn. But still after two boys in a row having a girl is new and exciting. Time to dig out the pink clothes! When we told Autumn she just about freaked out and said "woohoo!!!" for like 10 minutes. Hunter just shrugged his shoulders and went to play with Emmett his "brother" lol.....
In other news, Hunter is three as of July 31st. My big boy! He has grown so much and I can't believe how he keeps improving in his words and skills. Emmett turned one on the 2nd of October. Busy busy busy climbing and pointing and doing as big brother does. The hunting is under way for Jonathan. Thankfully september is over and this weekend I am headed to Washington to spend a couple weeks with family so its not so lonely without the husband. We miss him so much during the fall. He is so busy with the outfitting and cows. But we are going to have some fun few weeks and then we get to be together again.
This is an ultrasound picture when baby was 13 weeks. We thought it was amazing seeing every limb.
