I am, God willing this time, going to be a Mom soon. This is my second pregnancy. I had a miscarriage at 19 weeks in 2009 and lost our little boy, due to an incompetent cervix. The diagnosis was confirmed when I went into PTL at 18 weeks this time. But luckily had a doctors appointment on the day, who after the examination sent me straight to the hospital for a rescue cerclage to be placed.
The doctor had to put in a couple of stitches as my cervix broke and had to be stitched back. After the surgery the doctor said with a rather glum look on his face that he did all he could, now its all in God's hands. And I was lucky enough to be in God's Hands as I am now in my thrid trimester and hoping to be a Mommy soon.
After all we went through, we decided not do any baby shopping, well more like not even look at baby stuff until I was in my third trimester. We were just taking it one day at a time. With the Grace of God here we finally are looking at stuff to buy for our little baby. No we don't know the gender, we decided not to find out and keep that one big surprise.
The search for baby stuff led us to find so much information on the internet, that I am having an information overload and don't know where to start and where to stop, what to buy and what not to buy. So I thought I would write a blog about my experience, which could possibly help other Mom's to be or New Mum's in training to help decided what they really need or don't need, and what to look for. The checklist they need. etc etc etc. And perhaps get some feedback from Mum's who have been here done that and can guide us in the right direction.
I am also hoping that my good friend will also help me with this blog. She is due a day after I am. So here is hoping...
