21 weeks today. We get another ultrasound tomorrow.
Miss Kat has been moving like a maniac, she stomps more than kicks too. She always moves when daddy talks to her, he has started reading her stories.
I am so excited! She is amazing to me now, I can only imagine how mind blowing she will be when she actually arrives.
Last Dr's appointment they took my blood for the quad screening for chromosomal abnormalities, and if it comes back elevated they will want to do an intensive diagnostic ultrasound. I am blown away by some of the things I have read on message boards...one woman was encouraging amniocentesis to another because after 3 miscarriages she and her husband had one because he "couldn't handle parenting a special needs child" and thus they would be able to terminate if there was something "wrong" with the fetus.
Their were "no problems" so her mind was put at ease. She felt this would be the case for everyone. I really hate being judgmental but having already lost 3 babies I don't understand how someone could get to this point in pregnancy and decide that this wasn't the "right" baby. I feel her squirming around in there while I am writing this, she hears daddy's voice and starts dancing, we love her beyond reason and she hasn't taken her first breath yet. I just don't understand it,there is nothing that could be "wrong" Miss Kat that could change that love and desire to be her mommy.
I am however super impatient for her to arrive. Can't wait to see who she will be, and love her so much no matter who that turns out to be.
Guess that's all for now, Miss Kat stomps her approval.(I think she is hoping for a snack)
Ciao for now~

It's a.......
Right, sorry to leave you hanging like that. The holidays are always such a crazy time.
We learned at the ultrasound that Miss Kathleen Carmella will be joining our family in May, and the LOML always insists on adding, possibly June.
We are very excited to be able to refer to our beloved "Bean" by her proper name, we will be calling her Kat for short.
I am still super dizzy which the nurse midwife assured me is normal and the last time I had my blood pressure taken it was 106 over 62 so yeah I guess it's understandable that there would be some lightheaded ness.
We bought Kat an outfit to come home from the hospital in for Christmas, and my sister (whose youngest is going to be a teenager soon found some adorable hand-me-downs in her daughter's doll clothes. Which of course made me cry. Being older and everyone else in the family having babies at the "normal" age, I thought no one would have any hand-me-downs left for Miss Kat. Makes me glad my niece has her mom's save EVERYTHING mentality.
We have an appointment with the nurse midwife on Thursday and will probably be scheduled for our next ultrasound, and I believe we will get the quad screen done on this visit.
We also need to find out about birthing classes, we want to take them in February I believe,although that seems pretty early to me. We shall see.
I think that's all, except I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday and wish you all great joy and many blessings in the year ahead!

Ps almost forgot, my resolution is to make sure to feed Miss Kat at least 3 times a day, which will be much easier to remember when she can remind me herself, during the second half of the year. :)
