My mood while writing this blog: HAPPY

---

5th Week

I'm pregnant! :o) I can't believe it! I am so excited! I had really bad cramps and had my tampons ready to go.. I thought this is odd where's my period. My husband and I were doing the Natural Family Planning Method and I knew I kinda did it on an "almost" risky day.. but I guess it was a very risky day! hah ;o)

Starting Weight- 109 lbs

6th Week

I still can't believe that I am pregnant. I made my dr's appointment and I am just waiting patiently. I feel so happy inside.

7th Week

6/29/07 I saw my wonderful OB for my first appointment. Everything went really well. Because of my "high risk" last pregancy we went over a lot of diffrent things. I really love my dr. He is so caring and sincere. I am scheduling to have a planned c-section which means I get to have my baby early! WOO HOO!! :o) I got an u/s and saw the baby and the heartbeat, so awesome! He said I was actually measuring small but he isn't going to change anything until my big ultrasound in a few months.

8th week

I am sick sick! I actually am throwing up again. Although it feels rotten, it's comforting because I know it's my baby ;o)

9th week

Morning sickness has subsided, thank God! :o) It only lasted a few days and now I am back to normal. I feel really great. I am craving mexican food and having funny dreams ;o)

10th week

I feel GREAT! :o) I see my OB next Tuesday on my 11 week mark. I am excited and hope he does another U/S!!! I am hungry and I am craving all sorts of bad greasy fatty stuff ;o) SO different from my last pregnancy! I told my son we are having another baby. He's 20 months so he doesn't really get it ;o) If I ask him, "What's in mommys belly?" He points and says "Baby!" :o) It is adorable!

11th week

I went to my OB today. My regular OB wasn't in but the covering physician was just as nice ;o) I don't even feel pregnant, besides being hungry all the time ;o) I feel really good. Oh yeah, I do get tired every single day but I am not used to not being sick, its quite nice! I heard the heart beat, it was amazing and wonderful and I had the biggest smile on my face. I brought Jacob with me but he didn't know he was too busy with the latex gloves I blew up. "Balloons!" :o) I wore a cute pair of maternity pants today, the dr laughed at me, I know I'm tiny but at the end of the day I don't want to wear my pants because they feel so constricting! I just am on cloud 9!!!!!!! I'm loving it!

12th Week

I still feel really good ;o) Excited to have made it to this point!

13th Week

Ugh! I have had a stomach virus all week! This has really been a yuck week! Baby's fluttering around!

14th Week

Feeling so much better and excited that next week I see my OB. My boobs are getting HUGE :o) haha! I love pregnancy so far, I really am feeling great. I feel the baby move all the time, it's wonderful/

15th Week

Yay! I saw my OB today. I heard the little heart beat, 156 bpm. It's such an amazing moment. I am not really showing yet so just hearing the baby makes it so real. This little person is moving so much, I love it!

16th Week

My belly is starting to pop out a bit more. Everything is going good :o)

17th Week

The baby is really moving a lot! I have had plenty of GIRL dreams so we'll see in 2 more weeks, I cannot wait!! Danny actually felt the baby this week, it was so exciting having him feel the kicks too. This one has some powerful little punches!

18th Week

Danny is still enjoying the babys kicks and stuff, it's pretty great. I have been extremely tired and enjoying every nap I can squeeze in! My back has been out for a couple weeks, pretty painful stuff.

19th Week

I go for my ultrasound tomorrow, I CAN'T WAIT!!! I saw my dr today, the hb was 153 and I was actually measuring a week off, we'll see tomorrow if they change the date ;o) Everything has been great... except the heartburn of course haha *UPDATE* IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

21st Week

Feeling bigger and can't sleep as well as I'd like to. This little girl is pushing on my back! Otherwise, doing great ;o)

25th Week

I saw my OB today, I now visit him every 2 weeks, a precaution to previous hellp syndrome. I am measuring well and baby feels good. My back is still sore once n a while and I have these horrible nose bleeds I wish would just go away, but other than that, great! Her heartbeat was at 156bpm. She stays between 156-158 every time we check. She is a very active little thing! I gained another lb which brings my total weight gain to 11 lbs. I am at 120lbs now! I haven't been over 113lbs since I was pregnant with Jacob, haha!

Weight- 120 lbs

26th Week

Everything has been great. I feel good and baby is active. She actually had hiccups this week. It was at 6AM and I was lying in bed and I can feel her, it was pretty neat. I woke up Danny to feel her, ;o) It's so funny because Jakie had hiccups one time in my belly and it was at 5:30am... I'm so excited to see her!

29th Week

I saw my dr this week and gained 3 more lbs. I am up to 15 lbs total and feeling alright. Natalie is doing great, but my body is feeling the aches and pains of baby. My nose bleeds are still here, seem to have gotten a bit better I guess. I am having pubic pain that won't subside, it feels like pain and pressure when I walk or move really. My bbs started to leak this week.. weird! I passed my glucose test and just waiting to get my rhogam injection. I am looking forward to February ;o) Dr. Cohen may change my due date back to the 12th!! The other dr I saw in the practice changed it to the 20th but as far as the Ultrasound Tech says, he didn't want to change it. So we'll see!!!

Weight - 124 lbs

31st Week

Technically I am entering my 30th week or my 31st week. My OB still may consider changing my dute date back to the original date. I saw my Dr today. Baby's hb was 161 and she was really low. I am up to 17 lbs total weight gain. I'm still having pubic pain but dr said not much I can do, just take it easy and not carry my little boy. I also am still having stupid constant nose bleeds. Couple more months and they'll be gone Thank God. I had my rhogam injection done at the hospital and in the process lost my whole wallet!!!! Great time to lose a wallet with the holidays and xmas shopping. Luckily I haven't noticed any unwanted activity but no one has found it. Sucky thing is I just BOUGHT that wallet last week! I'm hoping it will turn up but I doubt it. The rhogam injection KILLED. It sent little shocks down my legs, burning sensation. Doesn't help Danny is afraid of needles so he was all nervous, that thing is huge Michelle omg!! Terd! I added a new photo of my belly :o)

Weight- 126 lbs

33rd Week

My doctor changed my dute date! YAY! That puts me 8 days ahead of the due date I had. My dr gave me Tylenol 3 with codein to relieve my pelvic pain but so far I haven't noticed much of a difference. I am going to try taking 2, it said take 1 or 2 and I'm nota big medicine taker so I opted for 1. We'll see if 2 makes a better impact! I found my wallet! The hospital had it!!! They called me about a week later, and everything was in it. I am really grateful for that! I am so relieved! Everthing has been going great, Happy Holidays everyone! I am on a steady weight gain so far of 1 lb a week. Not too shabby. The baby's heartbeat was 137. She kicked at him a few times :o) I was ordered to have a liver function test and some more blood work done. Again, a precaution to my previous hellp syndrome. I am really hoping it does not return, I really would love to attempt at VBAC this time around! I am still dealing with my dumb nose bleeds and I know that so soon they will be gone. Danny and I put the crib together lastnight! We are using Jacob's crib and dresser. He moved into a big boy bed and got a new dresser so it was nice we had a whole set to use for Natalie! When my bedding arrives I will take a picture of the nursery! I ordered it online ;o)

Weight- 128 lbs

34th Week

WOW! 6 more weeks! or MORE or LESS hah.. it'd be great to have an exact date but what's the fun in that right?? I love being pregnant, I love my little girl, but I am also DONE being pregnant :o) I think that pregnancy should only be 36 weeks... haha I'm just having a lot of trouble sleeping and I feel like a zombie the first part of the day. AND at night I have MAJOR MAJOR energy. I don't even want to go to bed. I can't find a comfy spot and lately I've had this pain in my back. I guess all the liagments stretching. Natalie is moving around like crazy. Danny felt her slide her little foot or fist across my belly lastnight. It was different and fun ;o) We could actually "grab" it. Weird! Tums are pregnant girls bestfriend right now!

35th Week

Hi everyone. I visited my OB today. I still haven't gotten my lab work done, platelet check and liver function screening, precaution to hellp. I have to get it done this week. I got a free over night bag for the hospital from my docs office, that was a nice surprise ;o) I already have my bag packed, maybe Danny can end up using it! :o) Everything looked good. He didn't want to see me back for 2 more weeks which I thought I'd be going back for my 36th week check up but then I realized when he left the room that the paper they are working off had my old due date! So I had the nurse fix it and I guess I'll be back there at 36 and 6 days. Oh well the baby is going to come when she comes, right! Our hospital only allows 4 people to be in the labor and delivery room so I made my selection this week. I am having my husband, my sister, and my 2 best friends. They were really excited when I shared the invites. I sent out my shower invitations last week also! I am so excited. My husbands co-workers wife had a baby recently and she had a lot of stuff she never opened from her shower and she passed it along to me! A mobile, blankets, hair accessories, sockies, pacifiers, clips, car window shades for baby, toys, teethers, rattles and a little support vibrating thing. HOW cool is that?? :o) It was a nice surprise! I have to take pictures of the babys crib bedding, my batteries are dead in my camera so I have to charge them. Also need to get a new shot of the belly, it has been a few weeks! I gained 1 lb since my last visit!

Weight- 129 lbs

38 Weeks

I posted my delivery story! I had my little girl on 1/29/08- Natalie Grace She weighed 5 lbs and 15 oz.. She is beautiful!

Final weight- 132 lbs Total weight gained this pregnancy- 23 lbs
