I never update this thing! :/
Things are going really well! We feel really blessed!
I'm 5 months pregnant and we're expecting another baby girl in March. My actual due date is March 20 but I have a feeling that I may deliver a couple weeks early if I get the final OK from my Doctors.
Life has definitely had its ups and downs for the last 10 months. I'm just so happy to have the knowledge I do about life after death, forever families, and our Savior! My testimony and Tyson have been my rocks this past year! I've always been blessed with a soft heart and faith just seems to come easily for me. I think that's one of the only reasons I've been surviving the trial of losing Tatum so well. I had plenty of moments where I had that "ugly cry", the kind of cry you just can't control or stop. But I've mostly had peace and understanding about it all.
For some people it might have been a hard decision to decide to get pregnant again right after a loss but for us it was an easy decision. We wanted to start our family when we had Tatum and now we want to continue our family. Getting pregnant right away, sort of helped me keep my sanity, too. I'm sure for some couples they might feel the opposite about this but I didn't want to postpone trying again.
We were able to get pregnant at 5 months post-partum. This pregnancy has been a little bit easier as far as the morning sickness goes but I've had to take it easy a lot more. My body just isn't as strong as it was the first time around and it just seems to be a bit worn down. I just didn't really have time to get back into shape or tone anything up after having Tatum.
I'm anxious to have this baby and get back into shape, though! I want to run and have a normal exercise routine! Unfortuneatly, for now, I've been put on limited activity "bed rest". I can still work, which is nice because my job isn't physically strenuous and it's only 3 hours per day and 4 days per week. I just can't exercise, lift things, or doing any sort of physical activity, at least until the end of the month. My Doctors think I have a low-lying placenta right now and we're hoping for it to rise as the pregnancy progresses. Until then, I'm advised to have limited activity. It's pretty boring, to say the least but I'm following all of my Doctor's orders. :)
I'm just hoping and praying for the best and I'm confident that there's next to no chance that I would have another full-term stillbirth due to an umbilical cord knot. The chances are slim to nothing that it could happen again. Plus, I'm being monitored much more closely this time.
In fact, just today I was at Quest Diagnostics having my blood drawn and tested for multiple preventative things. They took approximately 10 viles of blood from me today. 10! I stopped counting after 7 because it was making me light headed but, it was a lot! All I know is that I feel I'm getting the very best care and things seem to be going well so far.
Tyson and I are still having the hardest time coming up with a name that we love for this baby girl!

Any suggestions? I've already had a million suggestions and lots are cute. Nothing has stuck yet, though. We'll see.
