Girl!! We are thrilled to be having another little girl. Adrianna has been insisting for the past week that she was going to have a little sister, and was quick to point out that she was right. The baby was very active and wiggly throughout the whole appointment. (For that matter, so was Adrianna.) As […]

16 Weeks
We hit 16 weeks tomorrow. We had our pregnancy checkup today. The doctor didn’t get to spend a lot of time with us as he was rushing out for a delivery, but we got to hear the baby’s heartbeat again, which is so reassuring. I always feel a little nervous before our appointments, dreading the […]
11 Weeks
We had another doctor’s appointment last Tuesday. We haven’t had any more complications since the last appointment, but I was still very anxious for the reassurance that another ultrasound would bring. We are nearing the end of the first trimester, which is also comforting. I had done some reading up on the rhogam shot and […]
A Very Rough Morning
Today has been a rough day in the Reimer household. It all started at 4 a.m. when I woke up and realized I was bleeding. I went into the bathroom to check on things and started sobbing uncontrollably. How could this be happening to us again? Greg awoke when he heard me crying and once […]
8.5 Weeks
Well, since I haven’t “officially” blogged about how we found ourselves to be in this happy condition, I suppose I should do so. 🙂 In February, our wonderful fertility specialist, Dr. Bachus, prescribed Clomid for me. This was intended to get me ovulating again as well as to help my hormone levels. Dr. Bachus said […]
Stretch Marks
I have the worst stretch marks in the world on my stomach. I only gained about 22 pounds with Adrianna (mostly thanks to the low-carb/sugar diet for my gestational diabetes), but all the weight was right in my stomach. My stomach was huge while other areas, like my face, actually seemed to get slightly slimmer. […]
Brand new life
Wow – it has been a week already since my last posting. And what a week it has been! Our lives are forever changed. I am afraid I have so much to write about that this will be the longest posting ever. Labor We went in on the evening of Tuesday, April 19th, to have […]
I am freaking out
I am totally freaking out now that the day is here. What have I gotten myself into? I watched Birth Day on Discovery Health this morning. It was a show with normal, ordinary births. It had me totally crying (because birth is so miraculous) and scared spitless (because I am going to go through that […]
Still Kicking
The baby is just kicking up a storm tonight, as if to taunt me by saying “Here I am Mom. I can kick you all I want but I am not coming out!” Already she has an attitude and a mind of her own.
Pampered Amber
This evening after I got off work I decided to pamper myself while waiting for Greg to get off of work. So I went and got a pedicure. Aaaahhh, that was so nice; from the massager chairs to the warm foot bath to the foot massage. And of course the final results are nice and […]
