Anything else? I haven't had a period since 2005, so my EDD is based off of CR measurement. It could be late March/early April. I have a 80% of having a preemie, so the goal is to make it till February. I am high risk and my pregnancy with my daughter was a very rough pregnancy, so far so good with this one. I will be seeing a perinatologist.

i like linnea too, although one of my dearest friends is linnea and would feel weird using it (but mom22flowers might like it).

so, mom22flowers, if it's a boy, is there a theme you're gonna go with?

Any names you are thinking of: if a boy- Vincent John. If a girl, unsure. Lucia is a possibility, and Eliana is a potential middle name (it means "God responds" or "God hears prayers."

Are you secretly hoping for a specific gender: I would really love a full term, healthy baby.

State: MI

Anything else? This is my third pregnancy in ten months. My fifth pregnancy total (I was pregnant before Gianna.) I was due on August 22, 2009, but that baby became eternal on Feb 2 of this year. I became pregnant again in April, with a due date of Jan 12, and I lost that baby almost 9 weeks into the pregnancy- I ended up going to the hospital for a D&C on July 1 after things got out of control. Two weeks later, we conceived again, and so here we are. I'm actually kind of numb. Grateful, but numb. I just want everything to be okay. So far so good- I had an ultrasound last Thursday after 20 days of red spotting, and we saw a healthy heartbeat, and a baby measuring 8 weeks and 6 days- the exact measurement of my last lost baby. So, this kiddo has already outlasted the last two. I'm just about 10 weeks now.
