And in other news...

Beckett is going to be a big brother. We are really excited to be 24 weeks pregnant with number 2. We are taking a lot of precautions this time around as Beckett was born 11 weeks early (at 29 weeks) due to HELLP Syndrome . We were lucky and he a had a relatively uneventful NICU stay (7 weeks) and aside from the optic glioma is doing quite well for a former 2 pounder.

The info so far:
We found out a few weeks ago that our new addition will be a boy.
He's on track on growth scans (as of today 1 lb 6 oz) .
My health is pretty good with only minor increase in blood pressure.
We are being watched and monitored very closely with monthly growth scans and other tests for now.
I am taking daily injections of Lovenox and also daily baby aspirin to prevent problems from occuring.
I am WAY bigger than I was at this time with Beckett. In fact, I am bigger than when I delivered him, which we are taking as a good sign.
This past week we had an ultrasound and got an awesome picture. We also found out that so far things look good but in the words of Doctor Taslimi, "We're not letting our guards down."



This is a profile shot in case you couldn't tell! (It takes awhile!)
