**Hello Mommies! I had my baby boy on Nov. 11, 2008. His name is Forest and I love him so much, he is our world!! It seemed like he took forever to get here, but it was worth the wait. I'm staying home with him for now, and enjoying every minute of it. My fiance and I are really starting to get things going in our life, I'm getting back in school this fall, he is graduating with a graphic design degree in August and then applying for jobs. When he gets one I am going to talk to him about TTC for our next baby!! Its so hard to wait, I wish we could now. I want Forest to have a close sibling, less than 2 years apart. Eventually I would like to adopt a child from another country, preferably India, but not until we are older and done having our biological children. Feel free to read my birth story...and good luck to everyone with their pregnancies and babies**
I found out I was pregnant in March. It was a big suprise!! His daddy walked in on me taking the test, but he was happy when it said positive. I wasn't sure if the test had worked, so we went to CVS and bought two more. They also came back positive. I was excited, but worried b/c I didn't plan it. We are both students in college, and not ready for a baby! I was worried to tell my parents, but when I did it wasn't a big deal like I thought it would be. When we told his parents they were very excited. I started seeing a doctor that I absolutely loved!! At my 18 week appointment, we found out we were having a boy! I had known he was a boy the whole time, I just had a feeling!! My doctor moved during my 6th month. So I started seeing a new set of doctors when I was 28 weeks. It was hard to switch at that point, but I love my new doctors and they are great and I am glad I am with them now. I have had a good pregnancy. I had NO morning sickness. I had some headaches in the beginning, but thats it. Towards the end I started having some heart palpitations. My blood pressure has been good the whole time, and my GD test came back negative. I have gained 40 lbs now and am 38 weeks. Before preg I weighed 110 lbs and now I weigh 150. Luckily I only gained in my boobs and belly and am all baby. I also didn't get stretch marks on my belly, but I do have them on my boobies b/c they got big so fast :( I'm hoping the rest of the pregnancy goes quick and easy. I want a vaginal delivery and a quick recovery!
I would like to start TTC for our next baby when Forest is around 2 years old. Hopefully we will be a bit more financially stable by then, and Forest will be old enough that I *hopefully* won't drive myself crazy trying to raise 2 babies at once! But everytime I get on here and see everyone with their cute bellies and new babies, I want to TTC NOW! :) But I am making myself wait...
