Halfway There!

I am twenty weeks pregnant! I can't believe I have made it half way. I had my second anatomy scan last week and nothing has changed. Summer looks perfect! She has isaiahs nose and lips just like their mommy.
I am getting more and more excited for TOLAC (trial of labor after cesarean) and feeling so empowered to do it on my own!
The MFM doctor said they would like to do one more scan at 28 weeks to make sure nothing has changed, but she has a good feeling that everything is going to be just fine. She also said the umbillical cord is right where it should be and Summer is growing just fine! I am loving this pregnancy and despite everything else in my life that has gone to crap, my pregnancy has been perfect.

Now That the Hurricane Has Been Downgraded to a Tropical Storm

The last month has been nothing short of amazing.
Amazingly insane.

Being caught in the middle of tragedy makes the joy of pregnancy much more complicated.
On June 13, my husband got a phone call while he was in the shower from his mother. "No he f***ing didn't! Are you f***ing kidding me?" Was all I heard as Tyler slammed every door from the shower to the bedroom. My brother in law had been found at a nearby trailhead. He had committed suicide.
Not only was he our brother, he was also our roommate. We couldn't even face going home, because we couldn't bare to walk in without skyler coming in behind us.
We spent the next few days handling the investigation, planning a celebration of life, and still trying to accept what happened.
We have now moved in with my mother-in-law and have plans to buy a house in the next year or so.

I received the final results of my quad screen, and everything's looking normal!

The baby is a little girl 🎀
At 16 weeks she weighed 5 oz.

The only thing they saw was the umbillical cord was on the side of the placenta which places me at a low risk for low birth weight. Which I don't see being a problem.
I am now 18 weeks and my little bean is kicking very strong!

My son broke his femur last week which stuck us in the hospital for a day.
And I had a scare when I locked my son in my hot car in a store parking lot. (everything obviously turned out alright)

Needless to say, I am in dire need of a break. I'm hoping things stay settled down for a little while.
