Hey ya'll! We are just becoming used to being pregnant but we're excited. The last month has turned me into a worrier. So far everything has been good. Congrats to all you new parents!
September 15
I'm really worried ya'll. I have lost all my pregnancy symptoms. My bb's aren't sore anymore. No m/s, no constipation, no more fatique. I get this little stabs from time to time but not like the previous weeks. I go to the doctor on Wednesday. I can't wait. I've been praying fervently that everything is ok. If it is I'm going to buy a fetal monitor
September 22
Hi ladies! I'm feeling pretty good. Ny NT test on 9/19 was good. I saw my lil one kicking its legs. Heartrate was 170. My live-in bf has been handling everything pretty well. I can tell he's scared tho. He doesnt talk about the baby and when people ask is he ready he always replies"I will be by April." It kinda worries me so I try not to bring up to much. I give him updates but we haven't really talked much. I figure once we find out what we're having in a couple of weeks and have to start picking furniture he'll come around.
October 1
I think all men are going crazy. Friday i caught my bf sending illicit text messages to his ex. I'm still working thru whether or not to leave b/c we live together. He even had the nerve to try and set up a rendevous with her and lie and tell me he was going to play xbox. He tried to tell me it was to let her know about me and the baby and ask why she left him. We have been together for almost two years and so I dont believe him for a second & all his crying and begging me to stay doesn't work either. He swears that he's never strayed. (yeah right) I feel trapped and cheated but i know i have to stay calm for the baby. Now he wants to talk marriage and be all involved with the baby. He's constantly around me and if the reason for his doing all this wasn't because he was trying to make me not leave him I'd be on cloud nine. Right now it just reminds me that he wasn't the man I thought he was.
October 8
For now we're going to try and work thru our little situation. There's definately a difference between how our relationship was progressing and now. I made sure I let him know that he has no more chances and that if i feel the slightest inclination that somethings wrong I'm out. He seems real remorseful but only time will tell. I can't wait til friday b/c i get to see the baby again. Hopefully we can find out what it is. I really want a boy. But honestly I just want a healthy and happy baby.
I had horrible day at doctor. Baby is fine but my reg ob/gyn was on vacation and his partner was wretched .
October 21
Had a little scare yesterday where I couldn't find heartbeat on doppler. Went to ER and they couldn't find with doppler either. Ended up getting an U/S and there SHE was kicking and flipping and having a good ole time. The U/S tech at ER said that she was pretty sure it was a girl (30%). I guess I may have to wait a while and try again for that boy. Now I may have to be a role model so I've got to start acting more like a girl. My boyfriend seems pretty happy that it may be a girl. He said all along that he didn't care but I know that he really wanted a boy first too. I go to my real appt w/my OB on 10/29. It would be hilarious if they say its a boy but I think thats just wishful thinking on my part.
October 24
I am officially tired of being pregnant. I want the baby to be here so I can at least lay on the bed and be comfortable. I want to play with her. I don't mind not getting any sleep b/c I haven't slept the whole night in two months at least. I have no patience at all and things are progressing way to slowly for my personal tastes. If only it was February or March and I was closer to the end...
October 29
We went to the doctor today and I heard the heartbeat and evrything seems fine. I wish that I had gotten to see the baby on a U/S but alas I have to be patient and wait til November 20. My doctor pisses me off though b/c the dating by the U/S says I'm due April 1 but he insists on leaving my due date at April 9. I fear that if I go past April 1 he won't induce me until after April 9. I really don't want to wait and risk anything.
November 5
I think my hormones are taking over. Normally i'm very jovial but lately I'm irritated and angry then I go to being extremely sad and lonely. Everything gets on my nerves and I can't really find anything that will shake me out of this funk. Then the baby will move and I'll smile for awhile and remember that I have a purpose and that in a few months (god willing) I'll have a new joy in my life.
November 11
I woke up this morning in a mood. My appetite is down. I was eating a lot pretty steadily but this week not a thing. Just eating breakfast leaves me full for hours. I went to an annual party last night that we host here locally. I'm a little concerned about the 2nd hand smoke but hopefully this one day won't have any major effects. I still feel like a zombie. I can't shake this feeling of loneliness. Even at our event I felt like an outsider. I hide it well but I still feel it.
November 20
Went to ob today... Its offical I AM HAVING A GIRL! I'm happy. She weighs 11oz. Her heartbeat was 161. AFP test came back normal. Now I need to go start buying. I'm going with a care bear theme. I've been feeling like my normal self for the last few days. I guess I just had a case of the blues and i'm glad they're gone. Been getting along good with the boyfriend.
November 22
We finally agreed on a first name.....Addison!!!! Yay!! Now we're stuck on the middle name. I want it to be May after both of our grandma's. He thinks its to country.
December 17
Had ob visit today. What a let down! It was my first time getting into the rotation where I have a different doctor each visit. They didn't do my glucose test b/c they screwed up my chart and I go back in a month to see a different doctor and have that done. Addison is doing fine. She's right on track they say. I think its really stupid that they don't do more ultrasounds to watch the whole process.
January 2, 2008
Well my new year started off great complete with a steamy shower scene and all. My boyfriend stayed home with me and we just played around. We both really missed being out partying with our friends but made the first of many sacrifices to come. Then the next morning I wake to listen to all the drunken messages that were left on my cell. The first few were quite funny and I laughed. Then I come to the one left by my alcoholic mother who was livid because I told her that I would only allow my infant daughter over there when she was sober. Evidently this hurt her feelings and in her drunken state she commensed to explaining how she had me and how she would never hurt my baby. Next she goes on about how she "never wanted to be a grandma anyway" and that "I should keep my kid and not to call her again." One, I rarely if ever call her b/c I never know if i'm going to have to listen to one of her drunken rants. Two, in the preceding call before her tirade, she was the one letting me know that she wants to be called nana and making sure that I would allow her in Addison's life. I had every intention of allowing my mother in my daughter's life but only when I could be sure she wasn't going to be in some room passed outwhile my child was there. According to her she doesn't even want to know when my child is born and that if she (my mother) needed something she would've gotten it from my brother first anyway. I'm conflicted on whether or not I should be offended. I laughed it off when i told my boyfriend but internally I'm a little off kilter regarding the whole thing.
Janurary 5
So I talked to my mom last night. Of course she was apologetic. I reinerated that I knew she was wasted when she called me. She said she wanted to make sure that I knew she loved me and addison. I was like okay whatever. My boyfriend said I was mean to her but he doesn't get what its like to deal with an addict or alcoholic.
January 15
I got another freaking yeast infection today. This is aggravating. I follow all the rules... I wipe front to back, eat yogurt, and watch my sugar intake. This is like the fourth or fifth one i've had. I go for my GTT tomorrow and i'm worried that i may have it b/c of this problem. I may go to get those biofidium bacteria pills from a health food stores.
January 25
Okay so this week I started feeling like a little whale. I feel chubby and unattractive. We promote parties as a side venture and we have one tonight and I'm not going because I will be miserable spending all night looking at the non-pregnant hotties flittering around. To top it all of my boyfriend has to go to make sure everything runs smooth and keep track of the money. Since he's sexy the girls be flocking around him as normal. I can't even bitch too much b/c I know he has to go but boy do I wanna throw the mother of all hissy fits. He better behave!!!! I'm having a terrible time staying asleep and I think its playing a large part in my perpetual moodiness. Come on 38 weeks, or 37. Whichever one it is that she's considered full term and I can start trying to get her out.
February 19
I've had a pretty good month so far. I've been off since the 9th b/c of my birthday and a trip to charleston. Going back to work is something i'm dreading. I've been looking into work from home opportunites. My relationship has been going very well. We are both nervous and very excited. My shower is in two weeks. I'm thinking it going to suck b/c my friend who's hosting just sent the invites out last week. Who knows though? Addy has been moving around alot this week. Its uncomfortable but I love feeling her move. On a worse note i seem to have a yeast infection thats resistant to the vaginal creams so i have to go to the doctor in the morning. I still hope she comes early escpecially since we've made it so far. I had an ultrasound last week and she's still in transverse lie so I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for a c-section.
March 3
Well its official. Unless Addy decides to finish bursting out, we're scheduled for a c-section on April 2 at 10:30 am. I'm already 2 centimeters dialated so who knows if we will make it that far. She's still breech and I'm okay with it. They asked if I wanted to do an aversion and i'm not b/c they only have a 42% chance of working and when they don't they're known to cause fetal distress. My guy is freaking out b/c i'm dialated already. I love him so much. I hope we can figure out this parenting thing and stay together forever. Statistically the odds are a dice shoot but i'm wishing for the best anyway. Oh and my baby extravaganza was awesome. I really had fun. I was worried for nothing. I have great friends.
March 12
Addison has been moving around like crazy today. I really wish she would make an appearence already. I don't have my breast pump yet but thats the least of my worries. I'll just rent one if she comes before next friday when its scheduled to be delivered. My boyfriend is wonderful. I haven't felt like myself in awhile an he's been so supportive. Guess once i'm back to normal I'm going to be making it up to him or showing him some "personal appreciation."
March 14
Yesterday was horrible. I got in a hit and run accident at Mcdonald's on my way to work. I wound up in the E.R. for about three hours. Addy's heartrate was in the 170's so the nurse was concerned but the doc from my practice who was on call sent me home anyway. So now i'm freaked about that. I'm gonna monitor her movements and i might go buy one of those heartbeat things. I go to the doc on monday. The only good thing is I got an ultrasound to see her. She weighs approx. 7.2 lbs give or take a pound they said. They say she has long legs. She's still breech. I'm cool with that. I want a c-section now anyway.
March 17
Yay!! I get to have my darling daughter a whooping 4 days early. So my new date for c-section or induction is now March 28, 2008!!!! Yay!!! It kinda sucks b/c we have a promotional event planned for our business that night and we both will miss it but our partners are more than competent. I'm so happy! I can't wait to see what she looks like.
March 25
AArrggghhh! I went to the ob/gyn today and found out that Addy has turned and is now head down. I was scheduled to get a c-section on friday morning but now I don't know what will happen. I still have to go to the hospital Friday morning as planned but if she's still in the proper position then i'm going to have to wait until i go into real labor. I've also got a UTI and now my back is killing me and i can't get the pills till tomorrow when drugstore opens. So I'm miserable.
