15 Week Photo
I will be 16 weeks tomorrow but here is my 15 week photo. I just got around to editing it. It is a little closer up than the last one. Dominic and I will need to "chat" about that :-)

Fetal Doppler
When I was pregnant with Trevor, I never even thought of buying a fetal doppler. However this time I bought one. From 5 weeks - 12 weeks I was having weekly ultrasounds which of course gave me piece of mind, but I was still very nervous. With my most recent miscarriage I had been going every other week. One week we had a heart beat, two weeks later the baby had died. So of course I was so scared of that happening again.
Throughout this pregnancy I have been lurking in various pregnancy boards. I noticed many women talking about the Sonoline B Fetal Doppler. So I did a little research on them, they received great reviews and were around $60. Not too bad! So I went ahead and bought one. Best thing I did! I am not crazy and neurotic about it. I usually listen once a day (at bed time). The beautiful sound of my baby's heartbeat just makes me smile and know that he/she is doing just fine!
Take a listen :-)

This is the Sonoline B Fetal Doppler. I highly recommend it!

What is a Rainbow Baby?
A rainbow baby is described as a baby that comes after a storm, a storm caused by miscarriage or stillbirth. Since 2009, we have been living a storm that took forever to clear. Our "storm" includes the death of our first son, 2 miscarriages and 1 ectopic pregnancy. In January we found out I was pregnant. We were very nervous and cautiously optimistic. After weekly doctor visits and many ultrasounds, we have been able to relax (a little) and enjoy this pregnancy. I am currently 15 weeks along.
Although NOTHING will ever replace our first son Trevor, it is nice to have happiness and hope in our lives again. Dominic and I were good parents and we can't wait to "be" parents again. This baby will be loved beyond words and very protected (maybe a bit obsessively)!
Below is a picture I created last week. I plan on doing this every week. It is something I didn't do with my son and I wish I had. So here is to letting go of feeling "fat" and allowing myself to be photographed.
