9 months old!


Carter now says Mum and Dada or Daddy! He Crawls, pulls himself up and eats pretty much anything! Eating anything is super easy with 8 teeth!! Yup 8! Wow! His sleeping is WAYYY better! He gets up maybe once at night. But sleeps till 8:30 am! WOO HOO! This means sleep for this momma! (as well as thoughts of another) I want to chalk that non sleep issue up to 8 teeth being slammed into this little guys mouth all in 3.5 months!

This Momma still makes all his own food and am proud to say that he has never had any canned baby food! 
Carter weighs in at 21.5 lbs and 29 inches! He is in the 70%! Go big man!



Clarification

On my previous post I posted that women that have had preeclampsia, there is evidence showing that subsequest pregnancies closer together there poses less of a risk for preeclampsia. I dont know where the evidence is anymore. It was somewhere on the forums, and I know if you reasearch it it is there.

So for those of you that asked, it was just to deal with pregnancies that are at risk for preeclampsia. Your risk lessens the sooner your pregnancies are together. Now we know they do not mean immediately as your health from your previous preeclamptic pregnancy is important to have first before TTC!

P.S. WHY is preeclampsia not on my spell check by now ;)

Again?

The thought keeps running through my head. Another baby? Again? With preeclampsia a lot of people are unaware that the closer your subsequent pregnancies are together the better. That is due to your spiral arteries of pregnancies already being stretched out. (I wont bore you with the complicated stuff nor do I truly know how to explain) So I know I do not want to wait too long. Well maybe long enough to lose these last ten pounds!

SIDE NOTE: I HATE the comment "Oh your so young" Yup your genius...I am...HOWEVER if you really WERE genius...you would know that when you are as high risk as I...the younger the better. So age in pregnancy is not on my side. I originally said I wanted to wait two years. Now I am thinking is does not really matter. It will happen when it happens.

NO we are not actively trying. I think active will be sometime after March. My huband has mentioned not wanting another but if we did want another having them close in age" No matter when you have a second child I am assuming it is hard.

Dont know why it is on my mind so much. Assuming because pregnancy is terrifying to me, how my third pregnancy will go is always in the back of my mind.

I would love to say the amazing doctors got me a healthy baby. Sure they were ok, but I still heard the whole "Your anxious" "Could be your anxiety" "Your working yourself up" So I would like to commend myself in saying I GOT MYSELF THERE. I went to the hospital when I did not think things were right. I said I wanted Non Stress Tests starting 28 weeks. I said an extra ultrasound would make me feel at ease. You have to be your own advocate. So I think I am also a bit confident that I know myself and I know what to look for and how to try my hardest to bringing another earth angel home!
