Why she will never go by "Ana" in school until she's older.....

While being on the Baby Center website one day I saw this post... and needless to say... this will also pertain to Anaston...

 
Ummmmm yeah.... lol  -  Definitely not going by "Ana L" ever little girl! lol

Mid 23 weeks.... The TERRIBLE week....

Dear 23 weeks.... YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week... HOSPITAL STAY!!!!!!!!!!!! So far I'm going on my 5th night/day here. They say I'll get to go home tomorrow, but I will be having Home Health Care set up to help since I have a PICC line in. That was lovely...

This has been such a huge ride... and LONG... and not very enjoyable to say the least. At least we're still pregnant and Anaston is doing good. Her heart rate is in the 140's and she's been kicking up a storm lately too. It felt good to be told that they've had babies survive at this hospital as early as 23 weeks, so that was reassuring just incase anything did happen & she had to be born.

I came to the hospital on Saturday night because I couldn't stop throwing up... what's new with that, eh? Well, today it's Thursday... Still here... It's been a roller coaster. Between throwing up all the time, getting a terrible person that had no clue obviously what she was doing when putting a zofran pump in who didn't even get it in my skin (She was from the company), and then having to get a PICC line put in since the zofran pump didn't work.... and still throwing up some... yeah - definitely hasn't been fun :-/

Here's some photos from this week.

My lovely Zofran pump.... that wasn't even in my skin in this picture when we thought it was....

23 Weeks

23 weeks - Getting closer!

I have had a lot going on lately, so unfortunately I can't remember everything that had gone on. However... this has been a TERRIBLE week for me.

Here's the start of the week... which was good. Andrew & I went on a date night, which doesn't happen much because I don't feel that good much. We went and saw a movie as well.


4th of July - 22w

I have some updating to do around here... So here we go...

4th of July....

The 4th of July definitely wasn't that eventful this year. It rained the entire week so fireworks were of course cancelled and Andrew had his first 4th off in YEARS. We went to Rob & Rae Ann's (Grandpa & Grandma's) and grilled out and spent time with them that day, so that was nice.

Here's some pictures from that day.  I finally got to use the picture frame chalkboard I made for you :)

21w4d

This past weekend wasn't that much fun of a week for my stomach... :( I just am so ready to not be sick and throwing up every single day... it's not been fun at all when it comes to that. I can't barely go anywhere or do anything because of it and it makes life so frustrating sometimes.

On a lighter note, Anaston was definitely kicking stronger over the weekend and more. She seems to be awake when Daddy is leaving for work around 5:30 and she is up kicking around bedtime too around 9, 930, 10ish. It's definitely an amazing feeling to feel her kicking so much. And I admit it is kind of weird too! lol Speaking of which, she's kicking me right now :) Hi, sweet girl! :)

I still have yet to take weekly pics with my chalkboard frame I made specifically for belly pics... I just feel so pale and not as pretty sometimes just b/c I'm not tan and it's July 1st now and I'm still as pale as can be :( I barely get to go lay out b/c I'm working and Andrew works so much, so there's not a whole LOT of sun time... well, I guess there is, but you know. lol

I have been taking pics in the mirror so at least I still have those to look back at, but I need to just get over not looking as great as I feel as I use to when I was tan... get over those bumps, Tiff!

I did get to go to Ms. Annabelle's 4th Birthday Party after work on Saturday. That was nice to get out and go hang out with a group of wonderful ladies for a few hours. I never get to do that, so it was nice :) Here's a photo of the group of us girls. And notice my bump :) Time to get some maternity tops... lol
