Due Date


Lilypie Expecting a baby Ticker

Daisypath Anniversary Years Ticker

Get your Pregnancy Ticker







2nd April 2009

Hi ladies!

I'm in trouble... well not really but... it happened in a very complicated situation.I was on BCP since 9th March 2009.... together with antibiotics for a lung infection I had.

Little did I know that the BCP would be counter-acted with the antibiotics... Now that that has happened, guess what?!

And look at how DARK it is!!! I took this one below today (2nd April)

Photobucket


Take this survey if you are pregnant (Today's Date: 9th July 2009)

Your name? Risa

Fathers name? Andy

Are you still with him? Yes!!!

Were you trying to get pregnant? No we weren't... I was on birth control and antibiotics for a lung infection, and my blood count was low, with an abnormally high amount of white blood cells... All this contributed to my body rejecting everything I put into it... including the bcp. It was totally unexpected!

When you found out

When did you find out? 2 April 2009

Where did you find out? I was in work, and I took a test.

How far along were you? 4 weeks 4 days

What was your reaction? Excited, happy, scared, thrilled... everything all at once!

Who was the first person you told? My good and very close friend... Vanessa.

How did you tell the father? It was 11:45pm and we had just returned from a night out with friends, he wanted to know what was up with me because I was acting funny (I didn't want to go in the smoking section, and I wasn't drinking alcohol) He began pestering me because I told him we'd talk about it in the morning (so that he won't stay up whole night) so I told him...

What was his reaction? Well it was expected that he'd be upset, he began crying because he was sweating the small stuff, but I know with time, he will grow to accept it and come to love it soon... (update 22 April 2009) he's slowly but surely coming around...! He says for me not to expect him to be excited, however he will be supportive. I can't ask for more right now, but soon enough, I have faith, everything will change... (update 7 July 2009) He's more than getting there... he hasn't felt the baby move, and prefers not to (he says he'll get grossed out!) but he's very protective, and very concerned abt all that's taking place and the baby's and my well being.

All about your pregnancy

When is your due date? 6 Dec 2009 by LMP.

Did you have any morning sickness? Yes, for approx. 2 weeks.

What are your fears? Losing the baby (I've had two miscarriages in the past)

What are you most happy about? That a miracle is growing inside of me!

Do you want a boy or girl? Really and truly, it doesn't matter!

What does the father want boy or girl? He doesn't have a preference but has expressed his views that he thinks it's a boy.

Do you know what your having? Yes! We're having a little BOY!!!

Do you have a names picked out? I would love for my bf's three year old niece to name our baby boy... she's so good at naming her stuffed toys! She'll be sure to provide us with something swanky!

How much weight have you gained? 9 pounds!

Have you felt the baby move? I've felt the flutters and it's amazing! On 25th May, I felt a big movement! Since the 16 week mark, I've been feeling major movements, and now it's on to kicks, punches and rolls!

When you have the baby

Are you keeping the baby? Most definitely!

Do you plan on a natural or medicated birth? Au naturale, if meds are to be used, ok!

Are you scared about labor? Honestly, yes. I've heard millions of stories of what can happen in the delivery room, and many experiences related to me... but I hope and pray mine will be a safe and healthy labour!

What do you think will be the worst part of labor? From what I've heard, it has to be the contractions, and the labour.

Have you taken any classes? No.

Who will be in the delivery room? My bf is scared to be in the delivery room, and so is my mom. So most likely I'll be on my own.

Are you having the birth videotaped? I am contemplating, after all, I would like to see what I couldn't!

Do you think you will cry when you see the baby for the first time? I most definitely will...

What do you think the fathers reaction to the baby will be? He will cry too... he's really soft hearted!

How do you think family and friends will feel? Everyone will be disappointed when they hear the news because my bf and I aren't married, but all that will change when the baby enters this world... I just know it!


3rd April 2009


Hi All! Well last night was particularly tough for me, as I had to break the news abt my pregnancy to my bf... I have to say, he was not the LEAST bit ecstatic... rather he was very emotional and he cried a lot... he isn't ready and he opted to do the worst... but I stood my ground and told him that we will get through this... he was very sad... but I have to give him space and time in order for him to come to terms that he will be a father very soon and it's not my fault... it takes two to make a child after all...

I pray that he will see what I see right now, and that he will turn around and do what is right...


8th April 2009

Hey everyone... well I'm a bit more happy to say today that Andy is finally calming down, but he hasn't been very happy with the turn of events... I think it's normal for any guy who isn't expecting to have a kid right now to be very upset...
He's been trying to calm down, it's obvious, and he's finally letting the reality hit him... he's been kinda pessimistic about his life now... I keep reassuring him that things will get better, but I guess that's just him. Sigh.

Meanwhile, I've been doing great... except for worrying day and night about Andy. I know he'll come around and do the right thing... he always has.

14th April 2009

Hi!!!

Great news! Andy's coming around to the pregnancy... *raises hands to heaven and thanks God!*
He's really accepting it and I know it's hard but we have a little one on the way... things are gonna change yes, but it's change we need and we are doing fantastic! We are working on our relationship, making it more stable and hopefully, I'm praying that we at least get engaged before the baby is born, it'll be marvelous if we do!

Meanwhile we've settled on a name for the baby if it's a girl... Amy-Leigh Mohammed.
If it's a boy, we'll be having his niece, Deandra, she's 3 years old, she gives some really swanky names to her stuffed toys... I trust her with a name! LOL!
It's so great that Andy and I are working out our stuff... I love him mor and mor each day, and as time passes, I know he'll grow to love what is happening, and he'll be a great father! Miracles do happen ladies!

I've been getting a lot of af-like cramps, together with hunger that's overwhelming, but when I sit to eat, I don't eat much. Lol. M/s is setting in, I can't eat or smell anything sweet (it upsets me) and my bbs still hurt... they have not swollen as yet, so I'm still waiting for that to happen (lol).

Thanks so much for the prayers and advice! Love u all!

16th April 2009

We have a heartbeat!!!
I went to my very first u/s today, and there it was! My little bean is doing quite well! I saw the heartbeat, the flicker on the screen, going strong! Had no idea how much hb's per min, but it was flickering away!!!
CRL is 0.27cm and the sac measured as 5wks 6dys, with an expected due date of 11 Dec 2009! Maybe I o'd later in my cycle... nevertheless s/he's there!!!!

OMG! I'm soooooo happy! This is it! I've gotten confirmation!!! There's a BABY on the way!!!!!

29th April 2009

Hi guys! Well I finally made an appointment today at an OB/GYN's office and it's carded for the 12th May! I'll be 10 weeks and 2 days that day! I'm really excited! Thanks so much Kimmey for the referral!

I really am excited and I'm hoping that I see my precious little one there that day. The equipment this Dr. uses is high tech and much better pics will be acquired than the last u/s I did... It's so exciting! My first ob/gyn appointment! This will be the Dr. who will be delivering my baby! Woohoo! The countdown is on! Let's hope I can get Andy to come... lol!

7th May 2009

Just a quick update, very exciting however!

Last night I was sitting/slouching and reading a newspaper, and all of a sudden, I felt a little flicker in my lower tummy (approx. 2 inches below my belly button) and OMG I was in shock! I held my stomach and started to laugh! I think my baby is beginning to make a little sign that s/he's here!
I really am more than excited now for all this happening. I relaxed after feeling the beautiful feeling, and after 2 mins again, I felt it again! LOL!
My baby is starting to tell me that they're there! WOW!

My appointment at my ob/gyn is Tuesday and I can't wait!!! I saw an u/s of a 10 week old fetus swimming and kicking away! It touched my heart and has me totally excited abt what I can expect come Tuesday!

On another note, Andy told me Saturday gone that he'd go with me, but during the course of the week, I asked him again and he began making excuses. I got really annoyed and upset, but I tried not to take it on... Soon he will realize that missing all these wonderful moments is gonna cost him... hope he wises up before it's too late...

Let's hope all goes well!!!

13th May 2009

Hi! Well yesterday Andy'y Mom and I went to my first OB/GYN appointment and my second u/s scan...

I got to see my baby! I saw the heartbeat going steady, the hands, the feet, the bum (lol!) the nose! I saw my baby put on a show for mommy and grandma! OMG My bf's mom's reaction to seeing the baby was priceless! She was soooooo unbelievably happy! My bf surely did miss out! He couldn't make it as he had to go to work, and didn't apply for the time off in advance. Hopefully he'll make it to the next u/s as the doctor urged us to get him to come!

It was sooo amazing to see my little one moving and swimming around! So active and alive, thank the heavens! I even saw my little baby waving at me, really! I was so happy, I began crying and I waved back! Lol!
CRL measured 29.7mm and baby measured 9 weeks 5 days... the doctor said the baby was looking well, and the surroundings were very good. She saw no problems and gave both mommy and baby a clean bill of health before leaving!

At home later in the evening, Andy was talking to me and I told him about his mom's reaction. He was definitely relieved to hear that she was really happy and was ecstatic about seeing her next grandchild! He smiled when I told him, also when he saw the u/s pics... He tried to hide the smile, and shrugged and said "Ok" when he saw them, but he sure sucked at hiding that smile! LOL!

As I expected, I haven't gained a pound as yet! My bp was 90/60 which was good for a 90lb. chick! Urine tests came back clean, and I am expected to return to the doctor's office on the 9th June 2009.
I'm so happy! I still have to take a 10 week pic of my belly, I want to believe that it's just bloat, but it doesn't feel that way!

*Yay!* I'm so excited and happy!

2nd June 2009

Hi! Just an update now... On May 25th, 2009, I felt my little one MOVE! It was definitely the baby, I had no doubt about it! It was exciting, I felt as though the baby was rumbling inside of me! I couldn't stop laughing! I was soooo happy!

Well today we're 13 weeks and 2 days pregnant, and we're in the SECOND TRIMESTER! YAY!
Today makes the pregnancy 30% COMPLETE! WOW! So cool!
Congrats to those who made it thru to the second trimester, I'm praying and thanking God I've reached this far!
Keep in touch for more updates!

1st July 2009

Hi! Rabbit rabbit! That's what my baby feels like in my tummy! YES I'm feeling actual KICKS and movement now!!! Woohoo! How exciting! OMG... this is such a momentous time for me... I can't imagine what it'll be without being pg. I've never been happier! *Praises God!*

My tummy's much bigger now, and you can feel the kicks on my tummy now! You can barely see them, but boo-boo's definitely alive... wow! I'm still in shock, i still can't believe it! Too good to be true! 41% complete now! Just 59% more to go! Time's flying!

And only 6 more days till we find out if boo-boo's a boy or girl!!! YAY!

7th July 2009

Quick update... tomorrow's the big day! We get to find out if boo-boo's a boy or girl! My appointment is at 8:00am in the morning, but I won't be at work after. I will let everyone know on Thursday however!

Boo-boo's been very active, and I've noticed that I get the most activity when daddy's around! I think it may be Andy's voice that the baby hears and knows. It's really amazing and all I wish for right now is for Andy to come around, and at least put his hand on my tummy and feel the baby move. I know he'll be deeply touched... I was.


9th July 2009

Hey guys! I have a WONDERFUL update! I found out yesterday Andy and I have a little baby BOY on the way!!!
OMG We're having a bouncing bubbly beautiful healthy vibrant active cute and handsome baby boy!! Woohoo!!!
Dr. days everything seems to be great, she has no worries about our son, and he's growing beautifully!
YAY! Team BLUE! (I knew it all along!)

22nd July 2009

Hey everyone,

I'd just like to say that my little prince and I have finally reached the halfway mark in our pregnancy, and our wonderful journey together. We're 20 weeks and 3 days today! We'd like to thank everyone who has supported us throughout this entire time, and to everyone who have given us support, words of encouragement, prayers and well wishes. It has truly helped us as you can see, and we are totally in debt to you all! Without you, this experience would not have been so wonderful and memorable!

On another happy note, Monday morning at around 4:30am, I felt my son with the hiccups! LOL! It was so cute and weird, and I felt so helpless when he started on his hiccup spree, that I couldn't help them go away! I almost cried! I started to talk to him and rub my tummy, and eventually, it went away. I guess a mother's touch really IS soothing!

Again, thanks to EVERYONE who has journeyed with us along these 20 weeks of total bliss!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!


Eloises-mummy! - Wednesday, 26 November
Hey girls and guy lol

Hope your all well

I have a few questions im hoping some of you can help me out with.

1. Eloise is on 2 meals a day she now eats more mushed food rather than smooth. Do i now go onto 3 meals a day?

2. if i was to give her a lunch meal. what do i give her as an alternative to the normal meals you get in jars of make at home. she'll have cereal for breakfast and the rest of the bottle i used to make it. then have a bout 2 bottle inbetween then and tea, and sometimes a biscuit. for tea she would have a jar (there easier for me atm when she eats more ill make) of irish stew or pork and veg or veg medaley etc. and sometimes a desert, with some juice. then before bed a bottle of milk.

3. When did you all start giving your children things like vegetable sticks. ie cucumber sticks. She has a tooth. its not all the way through. She already eats rusks and berry bear biscuits

which brings me to my next question.

4. when did you all start brushing your childs teeth? Like i said she has one and possibley another soon its about 1/3 to 1/2 of the the through but im not sure if it would damage the gums.

all advice will be greatly appreciated. Cheers everyone. x
