Its been a while since i last updated. well, last night i had some major contractions...every 2 minutes lasting a minute each for about 5 hours straight with a couple breaks...drank a ton of water and lay down and it went away after i fell asleep. scary. Lost my mucous plug 3 weeks ago so i definitely thought i was in labor last night. other than that same old stuff..actually lost a pound and not gaining anything as of now which is good. closing on our new house next monday or tuesday and then the repairs can start. have my appointment on thursday and i get to pick amelias birthday whcih is really exciting. im just ready for 38 weeks to be here and be done with this..i want to snap my fingers and have everything ready to go and be done! uhh

Hi all, had another appointment today, everything is good with baby and I am going to VEGAS tomorrow. This will be my first time away from my son overnight besides our wedding night. im excited and nervous. I keep gaining 4 lbs every 2 weeks, doc says its good because im still at the minimum weight gain for my time but i hope it doesnt keep up! My little girl is so cute and i am so lucky to get to see her every 2 weeks. we just bought a house, the fixer upper one but im so excited to have something else to look forward too! its going to be so nice to have a 5 bedroom house!

Just had yet another appointment yesterday, saying she is already 2 lbs and over 13 inches. Getting big fast. I have gained 4 lbs in 2 weeks!! NOT GOOD! they tell me I should still gain more but I said no way if I can help it. I am eating all the time, I cant eat anymore than I already do! But She is moving like crazy and doing really well, my abruption has completely resaborbed into the uterine wall! AWESOME! That is a miacle. AS for the house we are trying to buy they countered out first offer and we are putting another one in either today or monday, we wanted to start out really low just to see what they would do because its a foreclosure. So we will see!?

I have been feeling my little princess go nuts in my belly even more so now..kind of hurts but just putting the pain aside and being happy she is alive and moving at all considering my circumstance. My 3d 4d ultrasound was awesome, i got a dvd of it and a ton of photos....she looks so skeletal still, hopefully she puts some more weight on the next time I get it done. Its crazy how much i love her already, I feel like she is already here. Well, I have been going kind of crazy in our small house now that I have all of her stuff here, we are looking at a new one that needs a lot of work, but its 5 bedrooms so its a huge house..perfect for my little man to run wild in. haha. i like it and my hubby is so talented and can remodel anything so I think its a good buy! We will see though.

Hi!! I had another appointment today...my liver enzymes went up again (very bad..not good) so they have to discuss my medication doses now. I have to go in every 2 weeks until 30 weeks and then every week or twice a week once I get to 30 weeks. Thats ok though. My specialist just got a brand new 3d 4d ultrasound machine and wants me to come back in tomorrow just for fun to be the first to use it!! how nice! no charge either! im so excited. I am bring a video tape to record it! hopefully i can. Since I lost weight from being really sick early on...and from when they first weighed me I have only gained a total of 5 lbs!! thats awesome. they want me to gain more but I think I am doing fine. When i was at 20 weeks with my son I had gaines 20 lbs! so im happy. I guess they dont go off of the weight i lost?? but I dont care..thats nothing! Im still feeling a little actually very emotional. but i think this appointment really cheered me up! my abruption is getting smaller and smaller every time I go in so that is really good. There is still a good risk but I have faith that it will disapear! I just got family portraits and maternity portraits done by a FABULOUS photographer last night. It was fun. Hopefully they turn out..my son was not very happy about it though. I also have allllll of baby Amelia's clothing until she is a year old! I went on craiglist and put an ad on and got a TON of responses...got all of brand new or almost brand new pjs, outfits..just everything for either $.25, $.75, $1, or 2$!!! and i got the cutest stuff! i already have rubbermaid bins filled with clothes! SOOOO EXCITED! YAY

Ok, my little princess in my belly is nuts!! She is sooo active! I was hoping she would be mellow because my son is a wild little man, hes non stop! But she is very big for my due date and just kicking and swimming around in there like crazy! Its amazing though to know she is alive and ok. I am loving my doppler listen to her everyday. All my friends and family listen too. they think its so cool! haha. I havent been feeling all that great though. I can barely vaccume the floors without getting a lot of pain and needing to rest. I feel so bad for my little guy Landon because i cant run with him as I used to. Just getting migranes and not feeling great. Im hoping its just because i havent gotten much sleep lately. My son still gets up in the night (hes almost 2!!), its drivig me nuts and my hubby is such a sound sleeper that a tornado could come through and he wouldnt wake up! I wish i was like that! i wake up from every little peep. Well, hop everyone is feeling well and getting enough rest and relaxing!

Hi All! Feeling Amelia kick much more is soo reassuring, and now my hubby and son can feel it from the outside too at a times! They are having fun with that. I love random people asking me when I am due or pregnant because that means I definitely dont look fat, but I hate it when I tell them then they say I must be having twins or something that I am just too big for my time. So that bothers me. I definitely think my cravings have kicked in. No more sweets for me. I LOVE LOVE LOVE soups, salads, fruits and veggies. A sweet here and there is ok..but I can't have more than a bite or so. I think my favorite meal is to go to the Olive Garden and get the soup salad breadsticks lunch...OMG its SOO Good!! Its the spot! Its so strange because its nothing like with my son. I HATE everything I LOVED with him. So I do think there is some truth to having a different pregnancy with a different sex of the baby. I knew, just knew she was a girl from the second I found out I was pregnant. I actually bought a doppler...the Angelsounds one. I should be getting it this afternoon. I am so excited. My OB told me not to get one because she knows that if I can't find the heartbeat I will freak out, but I jsut had to get one anyways. Im sure I will be able to figure it out! As for now I will keep you all updated on how well it works! Hope everyone is feeling well!

Had another doc appointment today! Everything is looking much better! My placental abruption is miraculously healing itself. There is still a significant amount of blood pooled in there but it is much less than last time. My OB is very happy with what has been happening and I dont have to go in weekly as of now anymore, I go back in 3 weeks. Unless I have bright red blood again. So phew! I am so relieved. But she wont let rent a doppler because she knows im a worry wart and she said that i might not be able to find the heartbeat sometimes because of how the baby moves, and she doesnt want me freaking out if I cant find it one day. So im bummed about that, but it reassures me that everything should be ok! Thank you Jesus! I know God is on our side!

7-15-08

So we put in an offer on a house today and it got rejected because there was a higher offer! We are kind of bummed because we are living in a 2 bedroom house and we need something MUCH bigger. We have found our dream house and we can afford it, but it would be cutting it close. So we will see, hopefully we can find something.

7-11-08

We found out what we are having yesterday....A BABY GIRL! SOOOO ESTATIC! I am having some complications but I know God will take care of me! I will be praying constantly! Im just so happy to have this little baby girl in me!!

7-7-08

I am still spotting light to dark brown with some reallly dark clots, my OB says its fine because its not red but I am still freaking out. its been going on for like 2 weeks...i dunno I think its way too long. I do feel the baby moving all the time though so i know the baby isnt gone unless im dilusional. 3 MORE DAYS UNTIL I FIND OUT THE SEX OF THE BABY!!! and make sure everything is ok! I cant sleep i am just so anxious and freaking out! ahhhh

6-26-08

Im feeling better, but now dealing with a sick little one. My son has had a bad virus all week and the doc said there is nothing to do but wait it out. I feel so sorry for him..poor little man. But otherwise Im feeling a lot better. I cant even do much house work though, after cleaning and whatnot I get really crampy and it doesnt go away until I rest. Im a worry wart and didnt get this last time I was preggers..hopefully nothing is wrong again..im anticipating my next appointment though...finding the sex out!!

6-20-08

Ummm...just got back from the hospital.. I woke up feeling like I peed my pants but when i went to look it was bloody water!! they had me come in right away. The bleeding kept getting worse with bad cramping...i thought the worst. But the baby is ok, i still feel it moving and they said its possibly a girl but i a little early to tell. but at least the baby is ok. i apparently got a bacterial infection because the ph level down there is different which made the :good bacteria" go away and let the bad in...so im on an antibiotic and they said the bleeding should stop by the end of the weekend and if not to go back in. But my water didnt break or anything, and everything is fine with the pregnancy. THANK YOU JESUS!! YOU ARE MY SAVIOR! Im in a lot of pain, but hopefully things will get better!

6-12-08

I am so close to beginning my second trimester, and I am feeling MUCH better, its great. Im slowly getting my engergy back and my headaches are going away! thank you Jesus! Im definitely getting a bigger belly and getting those bad pulling pains in my hip/groin area..i kind of forgot about that...its pretty painful. but im anticipating july 10th..cant wait~

6-3-08

Hi!! Just got back from my 11 week check. Got another ultrasound. The baby was sooo much bigger than last time, its amazing. Everytime I would laugh the baby would jump around and flail its arms..the baby looks like my son, or at least has his profile. I get to find out the sex on July 10th! I am sooo excited! I can not wait. But otherwise i got my first trimester screenings done and everything is normal with the ultrasound and im just waiting for my blood to come back. im sure everything is fine. God will keep our family safe! Im just so in love with this baby already, and so is the rest of my family!

5-28-08

I am getting very anxious to find out the sex of the baby. Since I am high risk, I will be in the OB office very often after Im about 5 months along. I think I can find out on July 1st if the baby is sitting well. I feel like time is going so slowly. I want this baby in my arms now! I just cant wait to have my 2 little ones. I think its going to be so fun. My son is going to love it. He will be such a good help. He already helps with the baby doll. Uhh...im just daydreaming

5-25-08

I am feeling very emotional and craving lots of candy. I did actually give in to my craving and got starburst...mmm so good. I have been sooo tired lately. My son isnt sleeping through the night still and still crawls into our bed in the middle of the night. I have got to put a stop to this before it gets worse. I just don't have the energy in the middle of the night. I have go to stay strong. My hubby normally helps me out but he has been doing a lot of side jobs lately so I am on my own for a while. UHH just to tired!

5-22-08

I am feeling much better than normal, but I just get very tired if I dont get a nap in. I crash around 3 o clock. I am so lazy lately its rediculous. I dont want to do anything. I need to get back to doing normal things so I dont get too chunky. When I was sick I lost about 8-10 lbs but I gained about 5 back, so not too bad. I have been eating very healthy this time around. Meat does not sit well with me, so fruits and veggies are what I am loving. I crave sweets but I have only indugled a couple times. I have a very strong feeling that this one is a girl, I just know it. I knew it with my son, so I hope my instincs are right. I can't wait for my next appointment.

5-1-08

Just got back from my first OB appointment! everything looks great, got the first photo of the baby and the heart rate is 150, perfect! I am so much more excited now that I saw the heartbeat and everything YAY!! I just want to see the baby now, I dont want to wait another 7 months. I will be induced again at about 36-38 weeks depending on how things go!

5-13-08

I was in the ER last week for dehydration and vomiting and a temp over 103, i was deathly ill! I am ok now. I have been resting a lot lately. Woke up yesterday and found a baby bump! So thats exciting, I got a ton of stretchmarks last time so I wont be posting any belly photos, its ugly. I would rather have a bump as soon as now so people stop staring at my belly wondering if Im just chubby or showing already. haha.
