That's what this week's baby doctor appointment showed. Still really normal (good for even a non-pregnant woman) blood pressure, awesome amounts of amniotic fluid, wonderful "practice breathing" respiratory motions, great muscle tone and movement frequency, normal heart accelerations and decelerations... this kid is doing so well during the BioPhysical Profiles and Non Stress Tests we have done each week.
My terrible respiratory affliction and pregnancy asthma are pretty much under control, too. The coughing and hacking are nearly gone and have allowed my rib and connective tissue around the fractured rib to heal nicely. Besides frequent contractions (that do not alarm my doc) and just fatigue from carrying all the baby in my middle, I am super healthy.
She's probably a little larger than the 35 week estimate of six pounds, nine ounces, and during her ultrasound this week, she was in a hurdler pose, with one leg kicking high and straight out and the other tucked up behind her bEhind. She had a dramatic pose of one palm on her forehead. (Images yet to be scanned!)

34 Weeks!
Oh Baby H2, you are really gearing up for the world! Or my body is just gearing up to have you meet the world soon! Its been contraction city for the last few weeks. This weekend some were OWCH painful. I had to stop in Michael's craft store today and just pause until it finished because I could not walk or function.
Those things aside, I wanted to tell you I don't really call you Baby H2. This week I called you baby E______, the name your dad thinks is so beautiful and was his first response to my name question for you, and this weekend we called you baby A____________, which is a pretty but sort of difficult to spell name. Maybe we'll call you a different name each week until we figure out what sticks or what we like to hear come off our tongues.
I wrote to a very popular baby name website about your name, seeing as we don't have one yet and the spelling of your last name isn't too easy. I mentioned that I prefer longer, frillier names, while your dad prefers short and sweet names. We also don't want to name you a name just because it is popular or trendy. We don't want to name you an unpopular name just to be different, either. So, most likely your name will not be as follows:

(the data for 2010 is released in May, so we have to go on the year your brother was born, and interestingly, he was on the #7 spot! so we might actually pick a name that we think isn't too trendy but it is trendy for 2011. hope you are okay with this!)

32 Weeks... Almost 33.
And although many people, especially strangers who see it fit to share openly, tell me that I look so small for this far in pregnancy, I need to tell you, I do not feel the same way.
I've got a more compact, tight bundle of pregnancy in my front right now. My dear girl is constantly doing jumping jacks and getting hiccups and fidgeting.
I am pretty sick now with a sinus infection and bronchitis, so I bet she is getting a lot of disrupted sleep due to coughing and my whining about feeling so pitiful.
In previous weeks I felt totally okay with an early delivery baby. Right now though, the thought of that scares me. My house needs a good cleaning, as in, getting the winter gunk out. My body needs a good healing (also getting the winter gunk out). I want this baby's arrival to be peaceful for me, and feeling stress about getting her sick or getting the gunk off the baseboards and etc. do not make for a peaceful welcome home experience!
In other news, I have decided that I feel much more okay having a baby shower in some sort of format for this pregnancy than any other. I feel so safe in this pregnancy and have a new realization that it is something that should be commemorated with a rite of passage like a special party. I do not expect presents or whatever, but I do want to listen to and enjoy the company of others who already love this baby, too.

Contraction City.
That's what you and I are enduring these days, babe.
Its really uncomfortable for me, as if I am wearing the tightest belt ever at my rib cage and as if my abdomen was made of some type of firm basketball (not a foursquare ball... a really old, well played with, no tread left- bball).
But you've got to be uncomfortable, too, what with all that kicking and rolling and jabbing you are doing to escape and find a more spacious place to rest in this often shrinking space you're living in.
You are only 4 lbs and 31 weeks into gestation, so its unfair to wish you out of the nest already, but wow, I think I am reconsidering the idea of totally unscheduled birthing activities for you. Therefore, we might be meeting sooner (either because you've made the choice or my pelvic floor has!) based on the idea of Dr. Grant thinking 38 weeks gestation is a totally fine length of time.
So.... maximum two months until our discomfort is over. HOOOray.

End of the Second Trimester! And Beginning of the Last!
The second trimester of this pregnancy is over! I am pretty happy about this for a few reasons.
First of all, it wasn't obvious to many that I was actually pregnant up through the first six months. In mid January I did a prenatal yoga series frequently, which moved the baby from deep in my pelvis up. It was more comfortable for me, but it totally changed my profile! I am not obviously pregnant. This means I have been receiving more kind gestures at work and in public places. I am totally content with people offering to carry heavy objects for me or to hold doors. Thank you!
Secondly, the all day nausea has stopped, and with that, I only throw up a few times per day now. Usually, its in the morning. I find that the strong acid reflux medicine, when taken at night, really helps me to have less throwing up in the morning. Therefore, I am able to eat breakfast, which means I throw up less through the days. The cycle is starting to break! This is truly wonderful. I don't have to take the expensive anti-nausea medicine anymore. I hope that as time goes by, the nausea and vomiting will stop completely. It did with Daniel at about 8.5 months. I am at 7 months now, and there are many days when I cannot eat dinner because of how sick I feel or I go to be feeling sick, but it was 100% of the time for months 1-5, so this is great improvement!
Next of all, it makes a lot more logical sense for me to be physically and mentally preparing for the baby if the bulk of gestation is over. In my mind, I am so much less worried about the health of the pregnancy than I was a few weeks ago. I cannot even compare this experience to Daniel's pregnancy, wherein I was afraid of his death until weeks after he is born. I think I will be truly surprised if there are complications, whereas before I predicted them and assumed them. This confidence helps me to prepare for buying baby girl things and also rethinking how we schedule our day and our our lives will change.
Other news....
I did not gain weight this trimester. I lost weight. I am so happy for the majority of winter to be OVER so I won't catch any more terrible viruses or flus or other diseases. I spent so much time being regular-sick that it was almost unimportant that I was morning-sick. I was sick nearly the entire month of November and had the worst stomach bug I've had in years just before Christmas.
We are nearly certain we won't buy H2 a crib, not right away. We had planned on purchasing a mini crib and putting it up in our room. However, our son slept in the moses basket for two months, and thus we think that DHH will be ready for a different bed set up by the time she needs a bed. We'll cross that bridge when we get there! She might find her way into a mini crib or her brother's crib. We're not sure yet! At this point, it doesn't seem to be as big of a deal. We know that we can get 2 day shipping for the crib through Amazon Prime, and we hope that we'll have some gift cards or money to use to prepare for that.
I've decided to go totally disposable free with this baby, too. That means Huggies wipes, Pampers Swaddlers, and bottle liners won't have a place in our house! I have nearly enough cloth to bring to the hospital (yes, there, too!) and the cloth wipe system we've been using is fantastic. I am not sure why I used the Playtex Drop Ins... perhaps it was just a bottle I had from a shower, but I will nurse the first month and then she'll have a daily bottle of expressed milk from an Avent bottle we already own. I think that since its a once a day thing, we won't have all these dirty bottles lying about the house. It should be easy to rinse them and then put them in the dishwasher. I am totally comfortable with this decision to make less trash for the baby and I think its as important for me as a statement about how I feel about sustainable living as how I feel about wasting money by throwing baby items away!
At my last appointment, I rescheduled the gestational diabetes test for this week, but today the receptionist notified me that The Blizzard will cause the office to close. I will take it later. I've also asked the doctor to not have weekly appointments unless he finds a reason to schedule them, so I'll go every other week, sort of a low-high risk sort of appointment.

Not Yet, Please.
Dear little girl (or dear my tired, painful abdomen),
Its not time yet. Its not time for the labor and delivery process at only 7 months gestation. We could be actually organized for you in two or three weeks... but that is pushing it.
So these painful contractions need to stop. And daughter, you need to stop pounding your fists and kicking your legs at me all the time. Sorry if you are cramped... I think you will feel cramped your whole life as a younger child that has to share many things.
Here are some more reasons why its NOT TIME YET.
We don't have any clothes for you yet, so you should really stay inside where your nakedness is an advantage.
Also, you are nameless, still. You'll just get some generic name that we randomly pick, like Lucy or Betty or something, because we are so surprised to meet you so soon.
Your brother hasn't learned how to be gentle when touching others' eyes or other facial features. If you come out soon, you'll get his finger up your nostril all time time... and I promise you that is not fun.
Also, I think you'd prefer a warm spring day for your birth, rather than this chilly weather. Its snowy, girl! It will snow several more times this month! Just avoid that, okay?
Last reason... if you time it just right... you and I can laze around in the hospital watching THE WEDDING of Kate and William and we won't be bothered by your dad or brother wanting to do other things. We can oogle Kate's dress and start your love affair with large scale parties and party planning at an early age. We can't do this if you don't wait until the end of April.
Love,
Your mama

Growth Spurt
Its 27 weeks, but I feel like the last three have been two months worth of growing. I'm as hungry as a middle school boy. I've been trying to be healthy with my caloric needs, but its been tough. I've been involved with some Doritos chips and have had a hankering for straight hot fudge, not sundae necessary.
The way my abdomen is expanding and the increased baby movements make me think she has tripled in weight this week.
Which means I have three times as hard of a time getting up from sitting on the floor or out of bed.

Fetal Kick Count - Record Breaker!
Part of my prenatal care advice has been to keep record of how the baby moves each day. I did this for Daniel's pregnancy, too. The idea is that the baby should be moving at least four times per hour, and that I keep track of two times per day of these movements. I am supposed to try to observe morning and evening and if I don't notice movements, I need to go to a quiet place, relax, and lie down to observe more closely.
This baby has been a record breaker for movements this weekend. At times I have felt four movements in two seconds. Other times, the movements are a few seconds apart, but they last for several minutes.
This baby is so active that I wonder if she has a hard time being settled and getting comfortable, much like I do when I go to sleep every night. It takes me a long time to get comfortable, too, whereas Dan can basically fall asleep in the same spot he sat down to read in and barely move a muscle.
I also notice all movements below my belly button, and thus I know the baby is still in a breech position. On very rare occasions, I can tell the baby is moving more vertically, but it doesn't last long! I am a little relieved that I won't have trouble with bruised ribs or ribs out of place as I did with Daniel starting at about this time, but I think I'll have more stretch marks this time. I also notice I have to use the bathroom with much more frequency, even if it is just an ounce or so because she's karate chopping my urinary bladder!

Letter to My Daughter, Middle of Pregnancy
Dear Sweetheart,
I think about you often, but I confess that I do not have the same thoughts for you right now as I did for your brother when I was pregnant with him. I was constantly praying for his health, wondering about his birthday, and feeling confused about how I would be a good mother to him. I worried all the time, but while I was worrying about him and our relationship, I was really soaking him in.
I am not as worried during this pregnancy with you. I am not worried about what will happen in the next few weeks to your body or mine - I can kind of predict it. I am not as focused on your next OB appointment because I know what to expect from the doctors and when to call if there is a problem. I am not very worried about the day you will be born because I know it will happen when we are both ready (or the labor enhancing drugs we might have to take start working!). You will probably be born in April and that will be so nice to have some flowers blooming to show you when we take you home. I also feel very less worried about caring for a newborn as I did before. I feel confident about holding you, wearing you in a sling, washing you in a tub, changing your clothes, diapering, you, and I even know nursery rhymes and lullabies for you. I feel confident to be your mother.
I also have not written about the details of this pregnancy in as much depth as I did for your brother's blog site. Part of this is lack of technology this time - that stinker broke our scanner! So your lovely ultrasound images are simply in a book instead of online (for now). We also had trouble with our home computer this fall before buying a new one. Besides technology, I have to divide my time differently than I did two years ago. Though I worked full time (and had a side job tutoring) I felt as if I had much more free time to do things like writing and researching for your arrival.
I will tell you that you remind me of your presence hourly. You kick and twirl so often. I have felt you since 12 weeks, which is a month earlier than I was "supposed to have", but I think its because of your positioning and my keen mindfulness. I feel lucky to have just ONE day pass with out throwing up, and this at 20 weeks, 2 days. Its so difficult to be pregnant and to feel sickly. But I have just accepted it as the norm for me, and it makes me even more excited to be UN-pregnant. I will be able to enjoy you AND enjoy food and life again! What a triple whammy!
For the last month I have been seriously considering your name. And reconsidering. The short of it: you are still nameless. I know what your name will NOT be, but not what we will name you. I very much want you to have a name you are proud of, as well as a name that is age appropriate for most stages of your life. Therefore, I want you to have a very sweet, small nickname that is absolutely precious and playful. I also want your name to be mature and stately so your professional life will command respect from the time they see your name on your resume. This is a tall order! I will try my best in this mission, and I accept that one day you may dislike your name. You might want to change it. You might want me to have named you like your favorite cartoon character, but I hope one day you will respect the name we chose because it was not a matter I flippantly decided upon.
I hope the next three and a half months pass quickly enough to satisfy my urge to meet you, but slowly enough that you have adequate time to prepare for life outside of your cozy little nest.
Love
Your Mama.

12 Week Appointment
On Monday morning, our whole family went to the CMFC, our OB office. Daniel came along because we did not have a sitter, and he behaved in the child un-friendly office and waiting room for about 20 minutes during the ultrasound.
The ultrasound showed us ONE baby (just in case you were wondering!). We could see a profile, hands by the face, and a big belly. IHis/her heart rate was in the 160s, which is good and healthy.
The ultrasound professional took several measurements, but I was most concerned about the measurement of the neck. The thicker the neck skin/fluid, the higher chance of problems with the child's development. I was so happy to learn that the baby did not show signs of chromosomal problems. He/she has a very low probability for Trisomy 21. In fact, my risk for having a child with developmental disabilities because of genetic issues is quite low, according to this test and my age.
The rest of the appointment was fine, too. Dan took Daniel to run in the corridor outside the office and they spent a lot of time at the water fountain. My blood pressure was normal and good, and I got a clean bill of health from the OB. Dr. Grant was concerned about the lack of vitamins and medications I have been able to take, but he respected my choice to stop taking the Zofran because it caused me to stop eating and feel weaker. He encouraged me to call my therapist though to talk about weight issues and anxiety.
Then he said a wonderful statement... "See you in four weeks!" What great news! This is the longest distance between visits yet. Of course, I am allowed to come in if I feel like there is something wrong or if I become very anxious and need to see the baby again.

8 Weeks
This week I got sick a lot. I managed to figure out an eating schedule, and I am STARVING hungry by 10:30 AM. I am so un-hungry at other times, like breakfast, supper, and later in the evening when Dan eats his nightly bowl of ice cream.
I also have figured out ways to take the Zofran that works for me. Sometimes the dissolving pill makes me gag and then triggers throwing up. So now I swallow it instead and drink it with a slightly flavored beverage, like Gatorade. It only works to stop the throwing up and reduces nausea by about half. So I still feel pitiful, have no appetite, and feel cranky. So I am not always the most friendly teacher at work.
My energy was low, but I took Daniel on a trip to a new park this week and on two stroller walks. I think I had more energy during his pregnancy!

Week 6
This is the week of extreme nausea.
At least I know I am still pregnant.
I do not know if I will be able to hold down anything I am eating. Its really most unpleasant.
I have had a hard time remembering how terrible it was being pregnant with Daniel Henry. The rose colored glasses have been kicked aside and now I remember.
Blech. That is the perfect word to describe how I feel.

4th and 5th Week
During the fourth week, I knew I was pregnant because I was exhausted by 6PM, and asleep on the couch by 7:30 PM. I also was hungry for hamburgers. I have had seven hamburgers in two weeks.
Fatigue and nausea began at 5 weeks, especially around 8 AM.
We've felt really excited and peaceful so far about adding another child to our family.
