Well! I'm 33 weeks pregnant. And for those of you that may not know why that is important to me: 33 weeks is the point in my last pregnancy that our baby Jasper died. Truly, we don't know what specific day it was, we discovered he was gone at 33 weeks and 1 day. He likely died around 32 weeks and 6 days, I'm guessing. If you would like to read Jasper's story here are the links: Part one, http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/note.php?note_id=420667244285, part two, http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/note.php?note_id=420673314285, and part three, http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/note.php?note_id=420675174285. For some reason I didn't post anything on the blog around that time. Actually I didn't post at all on the blog until several months had gone by. I'm not sure why, but I did type up several facebook notes about his story and how we were all doing in the weeks after. The above picture is the last full length shot that we got of my pregnancy with Jasper. I was roughly 32 weeks pregnant. I typically try not to focus too hard on how pregnant I am to the day, except for around Jasper's death. Below is a picture of me pregnant this time.
So far this pregnancy has gone well. I'm big, as pregnant women usually are. Or atleast, as pregnant women that are on their fifth pregnancy usually are. ; ) But other than that, things are going well. I don't feel very scared as a result of Jasper's death. I feel sad a lot and definatly struggle with lack of ambition some. But I don't fear for this baby's life an abnormal amount. We are getting ready for the birth! So we are very excited about that! And finding out the baby's gender. : ) If you would like to be in on guessing the details of this baby, go here to enter our game! http://expectnet.com/game.php The game name is: "Rainbowbaby5". Rainbowbaby because that is what babies are usually referred to when they come after the death of their older sibling. As in, a rainbow after a storm. And the number 5 because this is our fifth baby! : ) Here are some hints for guessing purposes! Darby was born at 37 weeks, 7'14, 19 1/2 inches long, 6:30pm Bryse was born at 39 weeks, 7'15, 21 inches long, 1:09pm Cal was born at 40 weeks, 9'10, 21 1/2 inches long, 1:19am Jasper was born at 33 weeks, 6'5, 19 1/2 inches long, 12:15pm The midwife is guessing that this baby is smaller than Jasper was. I've gained more than all the rest of my pregnancies, but I'm measuring normal. Midwife is guessing girl and so is Robert. I'm clueless but trying to assume girl so that I will be ready for that, because in all honesty, I would rather have a boy. I think mainly because of Jasper, I feel like we are suppose to have a boy. But I do realise that this baby is itself, not Jasper. AND, our girl name is Jude Lael and boy name, so far, is Deakin without a for sure middle name. : )
