It has been a very long time since I have attempted to blog or even thought about this blog!
After 4 miscarriages and a healthy amazing 2.5 year old we are thinking about adoption or fostering.

I am looking to change my blog name to mold it to what we im going to be writing about! Any ideas are welcome!

Its been months..a baby and 2 miscarriages

Wow can not believe how long it has been since I have blogged! We had our miracle baby on August 27,2011. He is perfect in ever way!! I can not believe he will be 2 next month!!!

Above are a few pictures when he was born and then his 1st birthday invite! I need to get started on his second birthday invitation and party!

What a long two years it has been. Tre has been amazing in every way! He has gone from nursing for 4 months to weening off the dreaded binky at 1 year. It was way easier than I thought it was going to be, just because daddy wanted it to last longer than i did!

He is now in his own bed, no more crib:(. He is such a big boy these days it makes me sad! At the store today people thought he was way over 2, NOPE he is still a baby in my eyes! 

Last April (2012) was great I turned 30 and thought we were going to have a baby sister or brother for Tre. Shortly after my 30th birthday I lost it. This was my 3rd miscarriage. It was tough and I only took a week off work because I had switched doctors and it was one of the worst experiences so i thought. We changed OB's and I thought it was going to be great next time I got pregnant! WELL I thought WRONG! 

This past April, 2013 we were about 10 weeks pregnant. It was the week of my 31st birthday. I ended up losing our 4th baby, a baby girl :(. I will go into more of the experience, negative experience next blog. I decided to take time off of work this time to recoup, take time for myself and my family. Then I get word my work is doing layoffs and guess what, I do not have a job as of August 2:(. 

As if 13 weeks of bed rest isnt bad enough.......

I have now experienced this horrible pain. I am not whining or complaining this is REALLY,REALLY bad. I am experience something called Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD).


What the heck is this?!

During pregnancy or birth, about one in 35 women will experience intense pelvic pain and may find it difficult to walk, climb stairs, and other movements that involve the pelvic bones. This pain is a result of separation of the symphysis pubis which is a joint in the very front part of the pelvic bone structure. There is cartilage that fills the gap in the bones. During pregnancy, hormones such as relaxin soften this cartilage allowing the pelvic bones to be more flexible for delivery. Some women, however, have too much play in the pelvis causing a large gap between the bones. This makes the symphysis pubis area extremely sensitive to touch. I have never experienced something like this. I can not get out of bed, walk to the bathroom, walk upstairs basically anything! It is the worst pain I have ever been in :-(.So I am going to the Doctor tomorrow morning to have him try and help me or figure something out. On another note my shower is this weekend! My cousin and Aimee and Scott get here tomorrow! If you didnt get the invite via email PLEASE call me! It is a BBQ co-ed shower and we cant wait!! We are getting our maternity pictures by the amazing Brandy Pellegrino of Pell Studios . They are not Boudoir pictures but she is amazing at that as well! I just hope I can walk into her studio! We are getting SUPER excited to see Tre! I just want him here already! Off to rest so I can get these pictures done! Crysta

32 weeks...almost!

This week marks 9 weeks on bed rest and a week since I was discharged from the hospital! 4th of July was tough, it is so hard to be on the couch while everyone is at the river, beach or pool. I know next year we will have an almost 1 year old and will be able to do these things. :-).We did have a couple of friends over and BBQ'd, just kept it low key. So it was nice to have company and be able to eat some good bbq!

I am so lucky to have Tony through all of this, poor guy really has been through a lot as well! He has been so good to me, not that he isn't, these past few months. 

This past week I have been having some cramping and back pain but held off calling my doctor because I had an appointment today. Everything went ok today and I am back on the couch! I have gained a total of 21 pounds! I am so happy because 9 weeks of bed rest and eating whatever I want, 21 pounds is great!
My doctor asked about a shower and hinted at wanting it at my house. I told him it will be local, in Escondido and he said ok. As long as I am driven there, put in a chair and I sit I am allowed to go! Hopefully we make it another 3 weeks! 

Shower invites have gone out via email, you should of received them.  If you didn't please let me know! 

I appreciate those who have stopped by or called and emailed! I am hoping I go another 8 weeks but this is going to really get hard and is already starting too! Visitors are much appreciated!! 

HOME!!

I am home, I am glad, but I am nervous! I know I need to not worry but it is really hard not too. My cervix was stable and the doctor said I can discontinue all medications except for the progesterone. She said I could stay if I wanted too but I would do better at home. So here I am home on the couch!
My OB was there today, not on call but doing surgeries and he saw me twice. I love Scripps, the Physicians and Nursing Staff are amazing! I am going to miss the food though! LOL I got to choose whatever I wanted and ate pretty well there!
The nurses were so nice and made sure I got some rest and spread out the monitoring and administration of meds.
Tre looks so cute, and he is now head down!

Thank you to everyone who visited, sent texts, emails and phone calls! It is very much appreciated! I will be home if you want to stop by, visitors make the days go by!

Love,

Crysta, Tony and Tre

Thursday and I get to go home!

Day 4 in the hospital and I just had my ultrasound to check the baby and my cervix. He was breech on Tuesday and now he is head down. Well my cervix is stable and the Perinatologist said I can go home and take it easy. I will be on bed rest and to relax but she said I look stable. I am just a little nervous with the positive FFN and every thing that has gone on this week but I am glad to be going home to see my cats! :-)

Hospital day 3

I finally got some rest,even at home i am not sleeping like i need to be! I think the ambien helped a lot! I finally got to sleep at 1145 last night after all me meds and monitoring were done. I was able to finish my homework my  for my 5 week statistics class that is finally over! Breakfast was great a ham and cheese omelette and a naked juice smoothie!
We didnt get to meet with the neonatologist and team yesterday but hope to today just in case. All the nurses and doctors are great so far!
Tomorrow at 11 i have another cervix check, i may get to go home tomorrow night or Friday depending on everything. Which has me scared with the results of the ffn and my cervix being short. we will see what the perinatologist says tomorrow.
Again thank you for everything so far! Thanknyou for the visits yesterday Megan, talbi, mom and dad. Thank you for all the texts, emails, faceebook messages etc.
Crysta and Tony
