26-4-2008 - Pregnancy Journal

My mood while writing this blog: Happy

---

This is just my pregnancy journal entries if you wanted to read them.

::MY PREGNANCY JOURNAL::

Well, since I started this 5 months into my pregnancy let me start out by telling you a little about the last couple of months. I found out that I was pregnant on March 29, 2007. I was really sick for no reason... So I decided to find out why. I took 5 pregnancy tests because I didn't believe it was true. Growing up I found out that I have POLYCYSTIC OVARIES (which means I get cysts on my ovaries making it hard or impossible to get pregnant). I've always wanted a child but never thought I could have one, so finding out I was pregnant was a SHOCK. In the beginning I was paranoid because Polycystic Ovaries make you at higher risk of miscarriage but once I pasted my first trimester the doctor said that I've conquered the challenge. Thank GOD! I lost 6 pounds in the beginning of my pregnancy (probably from stress) and since then I have gained 8 pounds. I was really worried but my doctor says I am healthy and everything is fine. On the April 6th, 2007, I started a journal because I was put through alot by my ex boyfriend and I needed something to calm my sanity. I am not going to put it all on here but I'll put a little bit.

[19 Apr 07]- Heard the babies heart beat for the first time (doctor said it was girlish, boy was he wrong!)

[2 May 07]- I made 9 weeks Preggo. I wanted a girl at this point.

[14 May 07]- I had a fainting spell at work and passed out, they had to call 911, the ER said I was fine.

[29 May 07]- 13 weeks preggo.

[11 June 07]- I fainted at work again, Went to the ER and my OB decided to have me go to a heart doctor.

[13 June 07]- I had a baby appt. and a cardio appt. I begun realizing I wanted a little boy really bad.

A mama's boy :)

[14 June 07-15 June 07]- I had to wear a heart monitor because of my fainting which I kept dropping

so I had to wear it longer than 24 hours, ended up being 48 hours.

[18 June 07]- I found out I have a heart condition called Nonsustained Tachycardia

It's not serious right now but it could become serious. It's not what causes my fainting though.

So what in the world is it???

[2 July 07]- 18 Weeks Preggo.

[16 July 07]- ITS A BOY!! I found out the gender! I am so happy, I cried at the U/S.

[20 July 07]- I am 20 weeks preggo, 5 Months.

[24 July 07]

I turned 21 Weeks today. I decided I wasn't going to pick out a name until I have him. Everyone keeps asking me what I am going to name my son but I just want the perfect name and I just don't think that will be possible until I see him. Thats just the way I feel. My child's father wants a junior and my part of my heart says that I should name him after him but part of it doesn't. He really drug me through the mud and put me through alot. So we will see December 4th, when he comes what his name will be!

[25 July 07]

I am so frusterated. I almost fainted again. Luckily I drank water and relaxed myself. It's getting scary for me because the last time I fainted I fell on my stomach. The baby is okay but man it's really embarassing laying in the middle of the floor at work in a customer service area where everyone sees you. What in the world is wrong with me? I mean I know I'm pregnant but sometimes I'm not even standing up when I faint. I drink water all the time so it's not dehydration. :( help.

[27 July 07]

I was dizzy again. This is getting out of hand... I guess I have no choice but to just sit and sit some more. The heart doctor said that my heart monitor that I'm getting should be coming shortly. I'm suppose to put it on whenever I feel dizzy or my heart racing. I FEEL SO PREGNANT. Yesterday I couldnt get my hair right, nothing fit me.. and if it did it didnt look good to me. I was doing so good now I just feel sick, pregnant, and unpretty. I hope this goes away and soon.

[31 July 07]

I feel a little better yesterday & today than I have been feeling. Obviously since I put up more pictures I felt well enough to take some. LOL. I am 22 weeks today. I can't complain at all about anything really going on. I have back pains and trying to get this heart monitor has been a pain in the butt but other than that I'm good :)

[2 Aug 07]

As hard as it may seem to me, I've come to the conclusion that me being a single mommy is inevitable. I have let go of the father, and moved on. I tried my best to believe that he was going to change and grow up but that obviously isn't going to happen. I have cried my last tears from the hurt of being a single mother, and I have strengthen myself. I know I will be a GREAT mother and do just fine. I know that pregnancy has made me an emotional wreck but from this day forward I am going to do my best to stay strong and stress free for the love of my child and his health. It amazing how one thing that you go through can completely change you as a person. I am a new woman. So from this day forward I am going to be a proud SINGLE mommy, and raise my child as mother & father the best that I know how.

7 Aug 07 - I hit 23 weeks. I would have wrote something on the 7th but I was so sick. I had a tummy ache (Non baby related) and headache and my whole body was weak. I guess I had the flu, the doctor says. I also had little red dots on my tummy and it itched like crazy. My OB said that alot of women get that towards the end of there pregnancy which I guess he considers me TOWARDS the end, lol! Not to me though. Anywho, I took benedryl (yes it's allowed as long as you don't take it daily) and I slept it off. I'm fine now. I still have a small headache but I am good. As far as the heart condition goes I have an appointment the 28th so I'll update when I find out more about that. I never did get the 30 day heart monitor, so we'll see what's going to happen.

[14 Aug 07]

I hit 24 weeks TODAY! 6 Months! Only 3 more to go. Life is great right now. I had alot of stuff going on in my life and it has finally calmed down. Everything is going so good. I feel like a weight was lifted off my shoulders this morning. I find out tomorrow if I made another stripe. I hope I made it! If I didn't I will be alright but I want to make it. That basically means I get more money if I made another stripe, I'm military. I am so grateful and Thankful for my life and my son. God really has done some amazing things in my life. I don't even know how to repay him for what he has done. It's amazing how things happen in your life that make you want to just give up and then the outcome shows you why you need to continue to go on. I know most of you have no idea what I am talking about but lets just say I had a trial in my life and I have overcome. I learned alot from the experience though, I learned myself worth and also alot about who I am. I feel relieved and at peace, finally.

[15 Aug 07]

I didn't make the extra stripe, so I don't have extra money but I am so happy about everything going on in my life I dont even mind. :)

[21 Aug 07]

25 Weeks!! Welp, another day I do not feel well at all. So nothing really has been going on in my life. Work, work , work and then Sleep when I get a chance. My head hurts pretty bad. I only have 15 weeks left! Well I don't think I will go all 40, I'll probably have him like 2 weeks early. I'm still not doing much of anything. I got a heart appointment on the 28th so I can find out what in the world is goign on with me. The heat here in Louisiana is like 102 it's insane. Try being 6 months preggo in that heat! LOL! I put on cocoa butter so much that when I sweat it smells like it LOL! Gross huh !?! Well, Atleast I smell good haha. I'm suppose to go to my sisters in Oklahoma in 2 weeks on my birthday so i can get the 3D ultra sounds done, shes paying! My birthday is September 8th for those of you who care to know. I will be 24. I know I am getting old. Other than that, everything is alright. Still a single mommy, still pregnant , and ready to see my little boy!

[22 Aug 07]

I have so much shit going through my mind. My son's father is really not worth a pot to piss in. He gets himself in trouble and blames it on everyone but himself. Sad huh? Well needless to say he never could contact me by phone and he didn't know where I lived the only way he could get in touch with me is through Myspace, and I've blocked his ass from that sht too. So he has NO way of contacting me! My strength is growing day by day. Everytime I see these sad excuses for men in this world it gives me more reason to show my son that he needs to be more than what they've portrayed. I know that God Makes No Mistakes so I am so grateful for everything that I've recieved but most of all ladies (and men if your reading) I am grateful for what I have had taken from me because it helps me realize that things are not promised to you and to be grateful for what you already have. When I pray I remember to Thank God for what he has given me and what he has taken away for that reason. Some of you may not believe in God but in life there are no Mistakes. We must take those bumps in the road and keep on driving because we are mommy's now and for those of you that aren't mommy's you will be! So you must remember that we are bringing the future into this world. I hope all of you ladies are doing well because I feel great! God is good alllllllllllllllllll of the time!

[23 Aug 07]

Today I was in the hospital all day because I was having contractions at 25 weeks that were 5 minutes apart. I could have went into preterm labor but luckily they stopped the contractions. It made me realize that I need to let go of the stress I was allowing myself to go through and decide what comes first, My Son or the stress. My Son is all that matters to me, He is my reason for life He is God's blessing to me. I thank God that I didn't have my son early. I am now on bed rest for a week to make sure that I don't start contracting again. I refuse to allow anything or anyone harm my child.. I was allowing the minor things in life control how I was feeling but now I am going to be strong and fight off the Devil for my Son and myself and our health....Thank God for my Blessing.

[28 Aug 07]

26 Weeks!!!! Welp, Bed Rest Until Monday and Today I'm back at work. Bed Rest sucks let me tell you. When they say BED REST they mean BED REST. I am switching doctors because Monday I went into my actual doctor (Dr. K) and unlike the doctor in labor and delivery (Dr. Robertson) My doctor just checked my cervix and told me to go back to work! I was like what in the world atleast Dr. R checked me and my son out. Made sure his heart beat was good and all of that. Besides my doctor is 20 mins away and Dr. R is only 5 minutes. So I will be switching to Dr. R! I didn't put there whole names because I don't want my son's father to somehow run across the name and try to go up there. Indegestion is a whole feeling. Today I go to the heart doctor at 2 oclock so I will update then Bye!

[29 Aug 07]

Okay, So I went to the Cardiologist. They put another heart monitor on me for 48 hours to see what's going on. After I have the baby they are talking about doing more but alot of the things they want to do to check out my heart requires my baby to be born first. So from the Heart Problems to the Contractions early I've forced myself to take a breather and relax myself. I am going to do everything in my power to be calm and not stress myself. You only get one life so you choose whether or not you allow the little things to effect you and stress you. Happiness is a choice and I will do everything in my power for me to FINALLY be happy. I feel good. Kayson (thats the baby's name) is doing great very active and he makes me laugh when he plays in my tummy. I love him, he is my world. Life is great.

Thank God!

[4 Sep 07]

27 Weeks, whew time is going by... Thank God because I'm so ready to see my son! I know it will slow down when I get around 32 weeks. Nola my friend I've came to know on here just had her little boy Zamarion (CONGRATS NOLA I'M SO PROUD OF YOU). Her due date was my birthday but she just HAD to have him early! LOL. I am happy for her though because I know she was sooo ready! Anyways, Life is good I am going to get my 3D Ultra sound on Friday when I got to my sisters house in Oklahoma so I will have those pictures up. My first doctors appointment with my new doctor on the 10th of September! Yay! I'm excited. MY BIRTHDAY IS ON SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 8th!!!! Other than that, God is good all of the time... and God Bless the Mommies!

[13 Sep 07]

28 weeks on 11 Sep. I was sick as hell though. Let's see, my birthday was last saturday September the 8th. I was in Oklahoma visiting my sister, I got a 3d Ultra sound it's in my photos and theres one above it was so neat! He was holding his foot most of the time, he likes doing that lol! He also was sucking his THUMB! I was like GET THAT THUMB OUT OF YOUR MOUTH! haha. My sister took me to get Red Lobster on my bday and then Sunday I drove 5 hours home but I got lost and it was raining so hard I started crying and freaked out. I got over it though and I ended up getting home in 6 hours instead. Sunday night I was sick as a dog. I went to the doctors Monday morning and got a glucose test it was 152 REALLY HIGH! so now i have another one on friday. I probably have gestational diabetes it runs in my family so thats going to stink. They gave me a shot for the flu and had me draw blood and I almost fainted because of all of that! So I went home for 3 days and I took the antibiotics they gave me plus flu medicine and I had a bad reaction from the medicine and ended up on my bathroom floor sick as a dog all by myself because my brother is in California for a month. Needless to say I got up laid in my bed with the fan on me and now I am back feeling alright again. I am not totally normal but I am getting there. Almost to 31 Weeks, which means HALF DAYS AT WORK!! Can't wait!!! Kayson has been active and moving around feeling great so the flu didn't bother him just me!

[14 Sep 07]

I failed miserably, Yes, I went to my glucose testing the first test I had before I drank the orange stuff I failed which hardly ever happens so it was really inevitable they didn't even test me 4 times like that normally do, they tested me 3 times I failed the first 2 and barely passed the 3rd so they didn't even do the 4th test. Needless to say, I have gestational diabetes so I can't eat whatever I want to and I just want to cry because women with GD usually end up having the baby early becaues the baby grows faster. Just another thing to really make it hard on me... I am going to be okay though I promise!! Just another hurdle to jump over... Love you all!!!

[17 Sep 07]

I am feeling a little depressed because of the gestational diabetes and not being able to eat whatever I want. Everyone keeps trying to reassure me it's not that bad but ugh! I cried a little bit today just being frusterated. I want my baby out now because I want to hold him and love on him. I guess I'm going through the phase where you just want to be done with the pregnancy and have the baby in your arms! I will be okay though.. just emotional and hormonal i'm sure :)

[19 Sep 07]

Sunday night I was in the ER and I was contracting 3 minutes apart, so once again they stopped my contractions but I was hurting really bad and as I was on my way home I called back to the labor and delivery and they said theres nothing they can do.. Well, Monday morning I went into my doctors office and they checked me all out and I wasn't contracting so they decided to send me home, well Tuesday morning I still felt bad so I stayed home from work again. Last night, I was so sick I was sweating and puking and hurting, but I just laid there and I started feeling better. This morning I'm back at work feeling bad but I'm here. My back and tummy are killing me :( Other than that, I'm doing alright. I made 29 weeks on tuesday 18 September 07!

[26 Sep 07]

30 Weeks Yesterday...I've been off for a few days, I took vacation time because I wasn't feeling well at all. I was hopeing the outcome of my doctors appointment would either be stay at home or half days and as of right now I'm working a full day. I'm overwhelmed, I'm frusterated and I'm quite tired of being pregnant. I only have a few more weeks to go but this is just whew... I'm getting really worked up. I thought the doctor would atleast give me half days I mean maybe I look to damn healthy or something. That's what it seems like to me, but I'm a primpy type of girl and even if i feel like pure CRAP, i try not to look like it. *sigh* Well i am going to harass my doctors office and see if they will atleast give me half days. I'm tired. BTW he's 4lbs 12oz already and I'm only 30 weeks! Big baby!

[27 Sep 07]

My Doctor's Nurse called me yesterday and said to pick up my half days letter on Friday! Yay! So Yes starting tomorrow I will be on half days (which is still 4/5 hr days) and unfortunately TODAY I feel like someone hit me with a train. However, my boss is quite the understanding type and said I can start my half days TODAY! So I am leaving at like 10 or 11. I am so glad to because these full days are overwhelming, Yesterday I begun to feel dizzy & lightheaded. I ended up leaving work 45 mins early which is nothing compared to a half day but my point is, I can't handle working ALL day. Only a few more weeks until my miracle is here, and I can't wait. UNTIL THEN HALF DAYS HERE I COME!!

2 Oct 07

The site had a malfunction and everyone (darn near) lost part of there page, mine included. I tried to regain back the information I inputed and I did pretty good I think. I hit 31 weeks yesterday. I also thought I lost my mucus plug yesterday and so I went to see the doctor and everything is fine. It was just regular pregnancy discharge so I'm still super pregnant and he's not budging. I'm only 31 weeks though so he doesn't need to come yet anyways. I am now working 12-430pm which is 5 hour days so that is a major relief. I go to my diabetic counsler tomorrow at 8am so we shall see how that goes and I also have an epidural class at 6pm :) Joy! I went ahead and bought Kayson's big things such as his stroller, car seat, and bed as well as his diaper bag. It all matches, I'm prissy so sue me haha! Pictures are in my photos. So that should be here soon, his closet is filled from top to bottom and I haven't even had my babyshower, talk about spoiled baby. I will put pictures of that up too. Other than that, I am doing great. Hope all of you ladies are as well.

[10 Oct 07]
32 weeks yesterday. I had my doctors appointment they set me up for a scheduled delivery date so my family (sisters) can come down and be there with me. I am excited but scared. That just definately makes it official in my eyes you know?!?!? Anyways, I am feeling like crap today, I feel sick and I feel extremely exhausted. I am trying to hard to get sleep and it just never seems like enough. This week I'm working mornings 7am-12noon so I have 3 1/2 more hours left, hopefully I make it. LOL. I just want to go to sleep. That's my plan for when I get home.

[12 Oct 07]

Well I went into the doctors yesterday morning at 230am because i didnt feel well. I found out I am 1cm dialated. Then yesterday around 2 in the afternoon I lost my mucus plug or part of it. Either way I ended up going back to the doctors but I am only 1cm dialated and i am having minor contractions but they arent consistant and they arent strong so I am just living life regular. I'm at work today and I will be at work hopefully Monday unless something changes. Kayson is doing well, he's still in there kicking and acting up so everything is good.

[15 Oct 07]

Well, I was back in the hospital last night. I seriously though that my water had broke a little bit, LOL! I know your water can't break a little bit but I'm just learning about all this. Needless to say, I was contracting as well so they checked me and I'm a little over 1cm and they stopped the contractions. They were regular when i first got there but not strong and then as i stayed longer they became irregular but STRONG as heck so they were probably BH, who knows. Anyways, nothing else going on and Kayson is still not here yet. Which I am glad because yesterday made me realize I AM SCARED!!! LOL. Besides 33 weeks is to early for my little man to come! I am super tired of being pregnant and my HIP PAIN is unexplainable and NOTHING helps. Other than that, I'm still pregnant and Kayson is great. Tomorrow, I hit 33 weeks!

[29 Oct 07]

Tomorrow I hit 35 weeks. I've been gone for a while. I know. I had this horrible pain in my left side and it was unbearable I knew i wasnt going into labor it hurt way to much to fast! Besides it was only on one side. Well I went to the hospital. KIDNEY STONES! Yes and it was just horrible. I was the
