Comparison: Lillian US 12 weeks

I went looking through Lillian's pregnancy stuff and found this amazing picture of her and the hematoma.  She really is quite the miracle child.





Obviously, you can see Lil.  That big white thing hanging down is the hematoma.  That whole area is supposed to be black, and room for her to move.  And this was 12 weeks, it got bigger from here.

Also, interesting thing I forgot about:
We found out we were pregnant with Lillian on Father's Day.
I first felt Lillian move on Labor Day.
We found out Lillian was a girl on September 11.
We fount out we were pregnant with this one on Labor Day.

Tidbits

Okay, its time for some non-baby catch up:

-Our anniversary was Thursday.  It rained, Lil was sick and our chest freezer died.  But it was a great day. We decided not to do anything because we're low on funds, but I made R some dessert and wrote in our notebook (what we do instead of cards).  And he TOTALLY surprised me with a new ring.  Its FABULOUS!! Huge and sparkly and huge!

-We did get a free babysitting offer, which we are never going to turn down, so we are going to go walk the oceanfront tomorrow night and maybe get ice cream.

-We started our famous "handprint project" tonight and I'm having so much fun this year, now that Lil is able to really do most of it herself.  I can't wait to give them out.  This is actually the second Christmas present she has made almost totally on her own and she's loving every minute of it.  She's a crafter that's for sure. 

-We had a (new) SS class party today.  It was just in a backyard with a potluck subs/hotdogs meal and games for the kids.  Lil had the opportunity to try to eat a donut from a hanging rope without using her hands.  They also did ring toss, pin the nose on the pumpkin, dug through hay for prizes and played on the HUGE pirate ship house/fort/slide/thingy they had in their backyard.  She had a blast.

-I'm bummed that no one is coming here for Thanksgiving and we have no plans with anyone here in the area.  Actually, we have no plans whatsoever for the whole month of November.  R will be back in the yards meaning LONGGGGG hours and lots of duty so it seems like its going to be a long, slow month.

-Lillians new thing is that she wants us to "keep her safe".  And by us, I mean R.  That's super fun on duty nights.

-I'm seriously underwhelmed with the new TV shows on this fall.  And in my condition, TV is very important.

Need a job

I sent this (or a version of this) email out to several people on my email list.  We're SUPER tight financially right now, and need to add something to our income to make ends meet.  Just putting this out here too, in case anyone knows of anything.  I do mean anything at this point.








 I wanted to write and let you know that I'm looking for a job, long-term or temporary, that I can do from home.  I'm most interested in clerical/research work that I can do at anytime of the day.  I was hoping when I got a clear report from the ob, that he would clear me from bedrest, and I'd be able to look for a seasonal retail job, but he did not. 

I lost my babysitting job in May and Richard just got an unexpected paycut so we're REALLY tight right now and I'm just trying to find any way I can help.  I've looked into some national companies, but most have specific day/hour requirements (Monday from 12-2, etc) or require a Bachelor's (I only have an associates).

I'd really rather work for individuals or small businesses that just need some extra help.  I've of course, had several years of office experience as well as my Associates from Faith in Office Management.  Even if someone has a one time thing they need help with, I'd love to help.  At this point, I'd be more than willing to do random things like organizing paperwork, scanning documents/photos, or taking paper information and inputting it into the computer.  I'm pretty much open for anything at this point.

Anywho, I'm just trying to spread the word, because I would really rather work for a person/company directly, rather than some random internet company.  If you come across anyone that might need some extra help, please let me know.

Thanks!

October 12 Ultrasound

Dr. Kemp agrees that all looks good. Baby is measuring right on for due date, and heart rate was 172, which is good. Said the hematoma is ALL gone and we have a NORMAL, HEALTHY baby at this point. Something I've never had so far. Whee!!!!

Although, he doesn't need to see me for a month and doesn't even want to do an ultrasound then. I have gotten quite used to my regular ultrasounds and I'm already plotting, hoping to get one around week 15 at least. Trying not to stress though. Its just so odd for me to have a "normal" pregnancy.

Although he also didn't lift any of my restrictions. Boo. He did say I could quit my folic acid, but added Vitamin D, so I'm not down any pills per day. I have to keep doing the prometrium until 13 weeks.
