Description EDIT: For those unaware, our little peanut did pass away. But thank you for all your love and concern and support! Here are two tributes to him.



This is for those of you who've been wondering where the heck I've been the past few months.

See that little peanut the arrow is pointing to? That's my baby.

I'm gonna be a momma. 8)

I've pretty much had zero energy, been constantly nauseous for a month and a half plus plenty of other discomforts you don't need to know about in detail lol. I literally haven't had the energy to do more than what's absolutely necessary, so a lot of things were put on hold, including art. Plus my husband needed the computer basically every night for homework last semester, hence why my artwork has been lacking.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know there'll be a new addition to my family come the end of February! I'm 13 weeks as of today - this ultrasound was actually taken at 9 weeks but I won't get an updated one for a few more weeks.

I'm feeling quite a lot better - almost back to my normal self other than the occasional throwing up and an expanding stomach - so I'll try to be getting back into my art routine. 8)

Thanks for sticking around! 8)

As long as there's love, I guess there's still hope.

I'm so sorry about your loss.. I hope that you have more luck in the future. I almost died at 21 months because of a severe heart problem found at 13 mo, during surgery I had a 30% chance, and a week later I had a stroke and a seziure because of a blood clot my heart patch threw off... Lost all control of the left side of my body, and regained it within a couple hours...

Just goes to show you how much has to go right for life to continue... Miracles do happen, and I'm sure in the future one will happen to you <3

Wow, thank you so much for sharing that with me! My viewpoint has changed in that I view every healthy born baby as a miracle, because like you said, so much has to go right in order for life to work! There's so much that can go wrong its a miracle any of us make it!

I'm glad that you survived your ordeal and have blessed so many people by being here! That's quite an amazing thing to survive and it amazes me how much we can endure.

I sure hope that we get a miracle next time around. I have faith!

I hope that you are blessed as well . I remind myself every day how lucky I was to survive, my heart is still much weaker than others, but it makes me so much more grateful for what I have.

Thank you, and good luck!

Oh, well thank you!
Unfortunately, he passed away almost 7 months ago now. He was extremely ill with several birth defects and was stillborn. I guess I should probably hide this now lol.

But we hope to try again here in a couple of months!

:C Well he's in heaven and is perfect. Perhaps you should say something at the bottom of the description... Just so people wouldn't comment with things like I did out of ignorance. ♥

But good luck with your future attempts. <3 (:

Oh, that's a lovely idea! I'll do that now! I'm sure he's happy and well now. But we sure do miss him!

And thank you! We certainly hope things go better next time...

I'm very sorry for your loss. I'm not sure what else to say that hasn't already been said by others or that you already know yourself. But you seem like a very strong person, and I know it's not something you simply get over, but I'm sure that you and your husband will get through it together. In any case. I'm sorry to hear that your son passed, and I hope you're doing okay (: <3

Thank you. Unfortunately, my son has passed away due to medical conditions that were out of our control. We love our little boy and know he's not gone for good - someday we'll see him again. Its wonderful being a mother and I'm so happy to meet someone who loves babies too. 8)

Oh my goodness... Thats very unfortunate to hear. From the sounds of everything though, with all the complications, its nice to know he wont be going through any of that anymore. That he's completely perfect in that perfect place with the one who sent him to you two. And as difficult as this time may be for the both of you, I hope this experience, though unfortunate, brings you and your hubby closer together

I had some complications during my pregnancy and I couldn't have asked for a better man to be there and go through everything with me.

You guys will certainly be in my prayers through the week

Thank you so much, I agree with everything you said! This experience certainly has brought me and my husband much closer. Our relationship is stronger than ever! And it is such a relief knowing my little boy isn't suffering anymore. He's happy and well where he is and I believe we'll see him again someday. 8)

D:!! Any idea what's wrong with the little guy?
The condition, I mean? What's it called? ;c

shayfifearts In reply to smoshii [2011-12-03 14:37:15 +0000 UTC]

We know what the condition is, but not what's causing it. He has fetal hydrops with a cystic hygroma on the back of his neck. Its so dangerous because it leads to organ failure.

Huge congratulations! Oh my gosh I can't believe it. I've been following you for so long (6 years in January O_o ) I'm like "NO WAI" but apparently you grew up when I wasn't looking.

I'm so excited for you

Hahahah, even 6 years ago I was 19 going on 20? Either way, technically I've been an adult the entire time you've watched me lolz.

But thank you! We're loving every minute with our little man, but he's got a rare condition that could possibly end his life. So we're trying to be positive and simply enjoy the time we have with him!
