Pregnancy Update
Well I had my 12 week appointment with Dr. Shipley and so far everything is looking good with the baby. My official due date is May 11th but I am already measuring ahead of schedule. We had a talk about my weight gain seeing that I had actually lost weight from my 9 week appt. He wasn't concerned since I just don't gain a lot of weight during pregnancy (yes I am blessed). I told him with my last pregnancy I only gained 12 pounds. He is going to watch me and the baby more closely starting at 28 weeks due to my Celiacs Disease. They want to make sure that the baby is growing properly and getting the nutrients that it needs. Part of my disease is that my body rejects a lot of nutrients and vitamins that my body needs, so they will just watch me more closely and will do more ultrasounds towards the end.

Hey Sara, I see Dr.Shipley too. Just curious, how did you get diagnosed with Celiacs Disease, how long have you had it, and do they think that had something to do with your fertility issues?
Amber, I got diagnosed 4 months after I had Madison that is when my symptoms really started to display themselves. They diagnosed me through a biopsy of my small intestine and then through blood work. Not sure if I had it before. My dad also has the disease. I do know several people who follow a gluten free diet who had past infertility issues and once they started the diet got pregnant (even people that don't have Celiacs Disease). Not sure if there is something to it or not but it can cause miscarriages and infertility issues.
Oh my gosh! I had no idea you were preggo again!! (I know, where have I been) Congratulations! I know you guys are sooooo excited! Good for you about the weight thing too, man, you ARE blessed! :)
