So it took a little longer than I expected, but here is my nursery post! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved putting together Amelia's nursery! We actually were able to put her entire nursery together spending under $850! We purchased her crib and changing table for $150 (for both) at a Black Friday sale at Babies R Us! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She hasn't started sleeping in it yet but I think that we will transition her from our room in another 2 - 4 weeks (I am not looking forward to this!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Oh.My.Goodness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cannot believe that Amelia is 3 weeks old already! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are doing really well but it has been an interesting few weeks. Here are just a few highlights of our last few weeks!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Amelia came home on April 1st. This was the 5th anniversary of our engagement and my official due date!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Amelia lost nearly a pound of weight before she left the hospital, so we had several weight checks at the doctor's office over her first two weeks. As of last Thursday she was back to her birth weight of 9 lbs 9 oz. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Amelia has been sleeping 5.5 - 6 hour stretches since she was 8 days old!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">She came down with an eye infection when she was 10 days old and that has finally cleared up!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Her baby acne came in at 2 weeks 1 day and it is one of the worst cases that our pediatrician has seen. Luckily it has already started clearing up. Her forehead is nearly clear and her cheeks are getting there. At its worst - her entire face was bright red with little pimples everywhere! Now her skin is still dry, but it's really just her cheeks that are clearing up.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I came down with Mastitis on Monday (ouch!) but am on antibiotics now and am feeling much much better!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Amelia's BFF Grace Eleanor was born to our dear friends Ellie & Eric on Tuesday morning! </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Amelia is still in newborn diapers and pants, but her newborn onesies are getting a bit hard to squeeze her into! </li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So that is what we have been up to! Here are some pictures from our last few weeks. Including her newborn photos!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Well. I have definitely neglected this blog the last 3 months and I am so sorry I have.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved blogging (and still do) but the exhaustion of pregnancy and working full time was just too much to make blogging a priority for me. However - I do plan to "come back to blogging."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So now it is time to update you on the last 3 months and I have to tell you - this is going to be a LONG post, so bear with me if you can! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First - I will share some pictures with you!</div>

And here I am yesterday at 39 weeks!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So a lot has happened in the last 3 months. We got the nursery ready, I had my shower, and we decided to have a c-section due to some concerns about shoulder dystocia with my gestational diabetes. I will work on making those some separate posts but I wanted to be sure to let you all know that we are doing great over here and that we are meeting our baby girl in the next day or two.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I find out today when our c-section is scheduled for and the anticipation of that phone call is absolute torture right now! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will be sure to keep you all updated and will absolutely post more often! </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Baby This Week: </span>Little girl is still about the size of an eggplant! Measuring 13.5 - 15 inches and weighing between 1.5 - 2.5 pounds! *I think that she is larger than this as she was in the 87th percentile the last time I had an ultrasound (about a week and a half ago).*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">What I am Feeling: </span>Much more consistent kicks but usually pretty low. She sometimes kicks up high but it isn't nearly as consistent. I think she prefers to have her head up. It is absolutely hysterical when I am on my laptop and she kicks it from underneath :) I love it. Watching my belly move is so magical!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Milestones This Week</span>:</div>

1) My parents came over on New Year's Eve and helped Rob to move furniture from the Guest Room (future nursery) into the office. We still want our full size bed available in case we have guests, so we have just consolidated the furniture of both rooms into the one office. It's tight but it works. Now that her room is empty, we can actually start getting it ready for her!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
2) Hiccups! I love baby hiccups - they tickle so much when she hits my side, and I love it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Miscellany</span>: I am doing really well. Still somewhat comfortable, sleep is getting difficult (it just hurts my hips a bit), but just feeling anxious. I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes last week. I really thought that I would be fine, but it seems that I wasn't going to get through this pregnancy without a complication. However, I have been able to manage it so far with just diet! I see the High Risk doctor next week and then she can tell me whether or not I need insulin (fingers crossed I don't). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Well here is my 27 week belly pic (actually 27w, 3 days). I am feeling huge but as long as she is growing normally, that's all I care about. I still don't have any new stretch marks, but I am starting to wonder how big I am going to get! I had a run-in with a woman the other day who told me like I looked like I could deliver "any minute" and that she can't believe I have to wait till April 1. Oy. I can't believe that people are so quick to say things like that!! The last thing I wanted to hear was how huge I look. Blah. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">What I am Feeling: </span>She is kicking quite a bit - somedays more and somedays less. The days that she kicks less gets me a little worried, but evenings are usually her most active time. Once I can sit and really pay attention to what is going on in there, she kicks and moves and twirls! </div>

1) Started working on the hallway - Rob installed beautiful sconces and a new light so the hallway is much better lit. We are going to paint and install pictures frames galore to get that done, and then start work on the nursery!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Miscellany</span>: I am doing great. We had an awesome appointment on Saturday and were feeling awesome. Unfortunately Saturday night Guiness jumped on my belly and of course my pregnant-after-loss brain got all hysterical, but she's been fine and everything I have heard/read says it is not big deal. Now we just have to focus on how to really set those boundaries for Guiness. Oy. </div>

I cannot believe we are 23.5 weeks pregnant with our baby girl!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have had a busy busy few weeks and I am still quite pooped when I get home from a long day's work. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So let's see ... I have done a lot more preparation for this little babe now that we know we are having a little girl! I think writing most of this post in list format is the only way to get everything down! Bear with me please ...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- On Black Friday Hubs and I ran a bunch of errands and came home with our little girl's crib and a changing table for only $150!! We decided on the Graco Lauren since it was so beautiful, simple, had great ratings and just... CHEAP! :) It's still in the garage but I can't wait till after the holidays when we can take the time to pull it out and start the nursery!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Speaking of nursery - I also ordered a bunch of items on Etsy. I will be sure to provide the details once I do my nursery post (most likely in March - sorry, won't be done till then!). I am so excited about our purchases!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

- We are officially decked out for Christmas now as well. We have all the lights up outside, the tree decorated, and all our nativity scenes and decorations inside the house as well! Yay for the Holidays!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- We spent last weekend in Baltimore with some friends for a babymoon. It was nice just to get away for 2 nights with hubs and friends. I didn't take many pictures but here is a pic of the beautifully lit Washington Monument!</div>

- We went and registered for pretty much EVERYTHING at Buy Buy Baby and Babies R Us. I LOVE the service at BBB but the coupons and deals at BRU are too good to not register there as well. I registered for some of our 'big ticket' items at BRU so we can look for holiday specials and things. I can't believe we are officially registered! EEEK!</div>

So now on to my 23 week update. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Baby This Week:</span> Baby is about the size of a papaya! She's almost a pound and a half and measures about 9 - 10 inches long! O.M.G. I cannot believe she's getting so big!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #222222; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">What I am Feeling: </span>I love feeling her move, and now I can even feel her outside. While we were visiting B-more this weekend, Rob was able to feel her too! She kicked him right in the hand and it was sooo sooo precious. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #222222; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Miscellany</span>: Overall I am feeling really good. I am tired at the end of the day but not ridiculously uncomfortable yet. I am going to share a bump pic this week! I haven't been very good about taking bump pictures but I was a "big girl" to begin with and so I think it took me a bit longer to feel "pregnant" instead of just bigger! So here goes ... my nearly 24 week belly! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I feel like depending on the time of day, my bump changes shape and size. Hahaha. I think this weekend I will take a picture in the morning to see how different it looks! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And that's all folks! Hope you have a great week! xoxo</div>

Oh.My.Goodness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last few weeks have been a whirlwind. I am sorry I have not been posting much, but with work and making this baby, I have just been so busy and exhausted!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had our Anatomy Scan on Monday and were SO excited to find out whether we are having a boy or a girl! We knew we had to keep it a secret until Sunday because we had planned a party where all of our family could get together and find out the gender together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So first, my 21 week stats:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #222222; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Baby This Week:</span> Baby is about the size of a banana! Baby is about 11 inches long and actually weighed 14 ounces on Monday so probably we are at almost a pound now! EEEK!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #222222; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">What I am Feeling: </span>I feel the baby move daily now. Sometimes more than others, but it's pretty much always during the day. I hardly feel the baby at night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #222222; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Milestones This Week</span>:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #222222; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
1) Our anatomy scan! Everything was perfectly healthy and we have a gender!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #222222; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
2) We went to Buy Buy Baby and started our registry. I wanted to just get it set up so I could do some online registering and it was exhausting looking at everything!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #222222; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
3) We are seriously considering buying a crib on Black Friday - we are not sure if we want one from BRU or BBB because the quality is quite different, but we shall see!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #222222; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">

Today we are 18 weeks pregnant! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yippee!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are very excited for the next 15 days to go by because our anatomy scan is on 11/14 and we get to see our little one again! Fingers crossed for everything to be perfectly healthy and to be able to find out whether we are having a little boy or a little girl!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Baby This Week:</span> Baby is about the size of a sweet potato. Measuring about 6 inches from head to rump and weighing about 6 ounces. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">What I am Feeling: </span>I started feeling baby move more often last week. Now if I am sitting at my computer, in a meeting, or at dinner (s)he tip taps all over the place. It is usually if I am sitting forward a little that I feel it the most. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Milestones This Week</span>: I actually had a few! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
1) I got the call that I passed my gestational diabetes test! Because I am overweight and have PCOS, they asked me to do at 17 weeks and then again later in pregnancy. Normal is between 65 and 135 and I was at 115! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
2) Our sequential screens came back later this week and everything came within normal range! Yay! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
3) Starting to put together our "things to do" list and realizing that within the next few weeks we will be able to start registering and preparing for our baby!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">

I am feeling like it is getting more and more real by the day. Being pregnant after a loss is ridiculously scary, but starting to feel some movement makes me feel better. I love the little reminders that (s)he is in there safe and sound.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Miscellany</span>: As of now I have only gained one pound. I am all belly but am eating "ok". I had a hard time eating fruits and veggies at the begging because they would make me feel sick. I am loving salads the most at this point and am just trying to remember to keep eating fruits now too. </div>

I recently bought a snoogle pillow and I am loving it. I honestly couldn't sleep without it! Guiness is also a really big fan of the pillow:</div>

Last weekend Rob and I went to a Jets game with my family. We aren't big football followers but I went to Penn State and absolutely love love love tailgating and football so we had a good time. The only thing I realized is that walking to the stadium, sitting in tiny uncomfortable seats, and walking all the way back to the car was EXHAUSTING. I won't be going to anything like that for awhile. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cannot believe how awful I have been at blogging recently.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So much has happened since my last few posts and I have been awful at taking pictures of all of the wonderful weekends we have had.</div>

Here is a candid of Rob and I at the rehearsal dinner. <3 him!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>So now an update at 16 weeks:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have been doing really well. Yesterday was Maveric's due date and Pregnancy and Infant Loss Rememberance Day so that was very hard on us, but otherwise we are doing ok. Baby is still in there with a strong heartbeat! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our next appointment is on Saturday October 22nd and our Anatomy Scan is scheduled for 11/14. We are very excited to find out whether we are having a little boy or girl and start really planning!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So far I have had some dreams about baby boys but not OUR baby boy. Just babies in general. Rob has had a dream about us with a baby girl, so who knows!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am definitely showing now. Being a bigger girl to begin with has certainly made the bump obvious :) But that's ok - my belly is hard and definitely starts a lot higher than pre-pregnancy. Sometimes I catch myself with my hands on my belly - I think just to remind myself that this is really real. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Being pregnant after a loss is so scarey. I have been over analyzing every twinge, cramp, ache, pull, etc. I just keep trying to remind myself that my uterus is growing and everything is moving. The pangs never really last more than a few seconds so I keep trying to remind myself that everything SHOULD be sore! I am just a paranoid person in general and keep trying to remind myself that we got this far, changes are we are bringing this baby home!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are so in love and really looking forward to the next ultrasound on 11/14! Yay!</div>

We got to see you again yesterday. You were measuring perfectly with a beautiful heartbeat of 169 bpm again! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I could see your beautiful head and heart and the little paddles that are the beginning of your little legs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are so in love with you and get to see you again in 4 weeks. </div>

Today I am 7 weeks pregnant with Taddy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This has been an amazing week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Monday morning I went in to get my last set of betas drawn. The number was 14,566 which meant that the number definitely doubled within the 72 hour time frame! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had my ultrasound on Monday night. Robert and I were so anxious and hopeful that this would be different and thankfully, it was. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We saw Taddy. With a beautiful, strong heartbeat. The sac was perfect and measured EXACTLY 6w1d. Taddy's heartbeat was the most beautiful sound we had ever heard at 117 beats per minute it was even stronger than the technician expected. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D1e_iX-VpaU/Tkh40V8xYLI/AAAAAAAAAxo/tfN6ga8D_2k/s1600/photo-63.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D1e_iX-VpaU/Tkh40V8xYLI/AAAAAAAAAxo/tfN6ga8D_2k/s320/photo-63.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rob and I were so blown away and are soooo excited. We immediately texted our parents with a picture of Taddy saying, "Hi Grandma and Grandpa. I have a heartbeat!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now we are just holding our breath till our next ultrasound appointment on August 27th where I will be nearly 9 weeks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*fingers crossed for a healthy sticky baby*</div>

Today, August 7th, I am 6 weeks pregnant with Taddy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Robert and I have been calling this baby Taddy since it looks like a tadpole right now. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tomorrow is my first ultrasound.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At 5 weeks, my HCG was 2590</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
at 5 weeks 2 days, my HCG was 4774. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Doubled after 55 hours which fits well into the 48 - 72 hour time frame.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I pray that this little baby is sticky. According to my calculations we are due on April 1, 2012. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have already told our immediate families about Taddy. We knew that if something did go wrong we would want them to support us and know what was happening, and this means they should also have the opportunity to be happy with us. Telling everyone was absolutely amazing. Now we are just praying we get to also tell them that our Taddy shows us his/her heartbeat tomorrow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will not be publishing this until we make Taddy known to the rest of our friends and family, but will continue to document along the way. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today we are 13 weeks pregnant and so elated! I have been writing posts nearly every week since we found out, so I will start to share those. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am sorry I haven't been posting much otherwise, I have been sleeping so much and was focussing on growing this baby as healthy as I possibly could. </div>

We have been away for almost a week now visiting our family and friends in Maine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had an absolutely amazing time and my cousin's wedding was beautiful (another post about this later this week). </div>

Hurricane Irene!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are now waiting out the storm. It's raining here in New Jersey and it's only supposed to get windier and rainier over the next 12 - 24 hours. Where we live it is very easy to get flooded in to a certain area so we are eagerly anticipating how bad it will really be. We are most concerned about all of the trees in our backyard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please pray that hurricane Irene spares our home and our neighborhood. </div>

I seriously cannot believe that it has been 5 months since we lost our baby. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was thinking about it the other day and we would currently be 2 months away from giving birth to Maveric. Rob and I have been talking about what we should do on October 15th to remember him, but haven't made any official plans.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What did you ladies out there who have experienced loss do to remember you little angels?<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UXbeoZrgmPA/TUDuAuitgnI/AAAAAAAAAXI/1CDDIF3y5MU/s1600/lovejill03.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UXbeoZrgmPA/TUDuAuitgnI/AAAAAAAAAXI/1CDDIF3y5MU/s1600/lovejill03.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UXbeoZrgmPA/TUDuAuitgnI/AAAAAAAAAXI/1CDDIF3y5MU/s1600/lovejill03.png" /></a></div>

I honestly cannot believe how long it has been since I posted. I am SO sorry to all of you readers out there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Things have been absolutely crazy around here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have been trying desperately to do some work around the house and I have been having some random health things going on that needed a little attention</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(don't worry - I am ok).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I wanted to tell you all about my Sister-In-Law's absolutely amazing 25th Birthday Party. She is a lover of Super Mario Kart and decided that she wanted to have a Super Mario Kart themed party. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My Father-In-Law started only mowing where the obstacle course would be. Everyone had to bring a Kart of some sort, and everyone had to come in costume. Rob and I supplied the cake as Christiane's Birthday present which was OF COURSE decorated by <a href="http://www.elliekowal.com/">Cinderellie's Sweets</a>! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are the pictures and a video at the end. I completely forgot my camera so all were taken with my iPhone (sorry!)!</div>

Rob and I were Mario and Luigi and Guiness was Yoshi! Rob and I made the costume with felt, thread and velcro. It came out really cute and he basically just chilled all afternoon.</div>

I feel like I have mentioned the Farmer's Market in previous posts but never officially wrote a post about my area Farmer's Market. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now - the Farmer's Market doesn't know that I am writing about it and I would rather not tell the entire world wide web exactly where I live (wink) so I am sorry - but I am just going to have to tell you that it is in your BEST interest to find your area Farmer's Market and utilize it as MUCH as possible. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We love this Farmer's Market. It is a part of our weekend routine because it gives us the opportunity to purchase sooo many fruits and veggies (and more) with such little money! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P_7vAIiff5Y/TiN_6OHCwdI/AAAAAAAAAws/s-4EH5z7EMM/s1600/photo-54.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P_7vAIiff5Y/TiN_6OHCwdI/AAAAAAAAAws/s-4EH5z7EMM/s640/photo-54.JPG" width="478" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hubs is my list*holder while I bag! We love this shelf of spices! Less than $3 for each of these HUGE bottles! We bought Cayenne Pepper for Chicken with Avocado Lime Salsa (will post that recipe later this week)! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hQMbDebnngg/TiOAAD0oE3I/AAAAAAAAAw0/OmUeWKlccxQ/s1600/photo-56.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" id=":current_picnik_image" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-inK0zrGgAa8/TiOB31UzP9I/AAAAAAAAAxE/kaagRkqlgJw/s1600/15306436252_kbjfX.jpg" width="478" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Had to add a little loving in here! He was sleeping when we came home and then started whining while I set up for the picture below. He just wanted hugs!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GyrcrdGlDJw/TiN_9H12m1I/AAAAAAAAAww/VcLFVr3savw/s1600/photo-55edit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GyrcrdGlDJw/TiN_9H12m1I/AAAAAAAAAww/VcLFVr3savw/s640/photo-55edit.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So we normally spend less than $40 at the Farmers Market but this week they had Coconut Milk, Almond Milk and Chicken Broth! Normally these each cost more than $4 at the Grocery store but instead we got these for $2.99 each. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I adore this Farmer's Market. It's open year round and it helps me to be so much healthier. After we stop at the Farmer's Market and buy our fruits and veggies, we drive across the street (yes, directly across the street) to the Grocery Store and get our meats! It's the best $$ saver ever!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ok - Plug over! I promise that Farmer's Markets across the world have no idea I am writing this (wink). I just really really love my area Farmer's Market!</div>

First - Saturday was the 2nd Annual Roebling Museum Car Show! My Father-In-Law put it together and you can see the article for the show <a href="http://www.centraljersey.com//the_register_news/news/doc4e1ca1e772c27994996294.txt">here</a>.</div>

Two of my sister-in-laws and I were responsible for selling water. We basically rode a Gator around for 4 hours making money for the museum! It was SUCH a beautiful day and everyone had a great time! Here are some pictures for you (disclaimer: they were taken with my iPhone):</div>

I am sorry I have not been posting much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been having some very strange health issues. I actually spent my Friday afternoon/evening in the ER getting a whoooole lotta tests done. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am ok but my chest is just going through some really strange twinges and weird movements. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My doctors thought it was a pulmonary embellism (that's how I ended up in the ER), then they thought it was my lungs, now it's my heart. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tomorrow I go to the doctor and get hooked up to a heartbeat monitor for 24 hours, then Friday I am using a Personal Day so I can get a stress test done (awwwesome) and an echocardiogram. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm sure everything will turn out all right. My new cardiologist already said that he doesn't think there is any need to worry - but we shall see. I have my fingers and toes crossed (so does hubster). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I promise I will post some more this weekend. I miss you all oh so much!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I have to give you a picture of this little man before I go ... he's too precious for words.</div>

Friday afternoon we left to go camping with some dear friends. I have loads of pictures to share with you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We actually camped Friday night and Saturday night with a HUGE storm that came through Saturday night. The entire tent got SOAKED inside and out. So waking up Sunday morning was less than lovely and required a quick clean up considering that there was more rain still coming! (ick)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So after we left our amazing camping adventure (we have actually done this for the past ten years except for one year that we missed), we went out to breakfast and said our goodbyes. It was sooo great to see everyone! </div>

Sunday night when we went to my parents house to pick up my beautiful puppy dog and visit with them. My dad and sister just returned home from being in Austria for a week. My sister is an amazing Opera singer who was in a competition in Vienna for the week. Unfortunately she did not win, but she's amazing anyway! <3</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then on Monday we spent the fourth of July with my in-loves! Spent the afternoon at the pool with the puppies, had an amazing dinner together, and then enjoyed some fireworks! Here are some pictures from the fourth of July!</div>
