Hi, my name is Erin Martin and I'm 23. My hubby and I are about to celebrate our 2 year Anniversary on May 27th, Memorial Day weekend and he is the man of my dreams, Kris Martin. He just got into the Newport News Fire Department and is now an Emergency Medical Technician...he's doing a great job, and he works on the ambulance & engine 10 days a month. On his days off, him and his brother (also a fire fighter) will do landscaping which his brother started a few years ago when he got into the fire dpt.. I am so proud of Kris! We live in a 2 bed/2 bath apartment and have attempted several times buying a home and finally are going to move in a house at the end of May 08! We wanted to have children in a few years after getting married...so Kris would have graduated the academy, we would have moved in a house and I would at least have a 4 door car. But God has bigger plans for us and I know for sure God does NOT make mistakes! I was very upset when I first discovered I was pregnant, thinking I was too young and there were so many things I wanted to have done before we had kids but now, I am so overwhelmed with joy, especially when I saw my first ultra sound and saw our little angel move around and saw that heart racing. We are so blessed. I love this website and Congrats to every mom out there. Children are truely a blessing. God Bless to all of you! :)

This is Me!! This is my Hubby Kris

This is our first baby, Izzy! (Ohhh boo boo! Mommy and Daddy love duh boo boo!)

MY NOTES OF THE DAY:

5/2/07: Okay I am soooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO upset bc I dont know how all my messages got erased from my page! I am sooo MAD! I cannot believe this! I was going to save all those feelings I had each day and print them out and give them to my baby! Well...I guess I'll have to start all over now! Freakin' A!

Sorry, I am just so angry about that! I dno how I did it! ERRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Anywaaaaaaaayzzzzzzzzzz....I have a checkup today and I hope that goes well and after that I am going to go get low lights in my hair bc I think my blond is making me look really washed out bc I cant tan : (

My BFF's 21st B-day is today, so I'm gonna go take a few shots with her tonight.....hahaha gotcha, j/k. You thought I was really going to! heheheh. Although I would love a nice mixed drink, I suppoooose I can hold off hehe : )

Well much love to all mommies.......

5/3/07: Well I went to my 20 wk checkup and everything looks good. I go back in 4 wks for the u/s where I was supposed to find out the sex, but thanks to my 3D imaging, I already know!!! Plus they'll do measurements and discuss the glucose test. Well I got my lowlights and I think I don't look as washed out: Look it's meeeeeeeeeeeee! I think now that I'm pregnant I look older? I know I'm weird! I am soooo pale! Oh well, I suppose Shaye/Riley is worth it?! hehehhe I love her...I wonder if she's going to look more like me or Kris? Who knows? Well, God knows, but I dont think he's gonna let me find out until she pops out!

5/9/07: Well today I am feeling out of breath...guess my lungs are being sqwooshed, yesterday I was crampy but today I'm not. Today Kris has his M-Capstone test and it's a big one! Then he has the national test this Saturday and then he will be Fini! Then he will move onto the floor with the firefighters and be workin 10 days a month and in Septmeber, which ironically is when the baby is born, he will go back to 8-5 Mon-Fri for the fire academy and will graduate in January! I am so excited. Please pray for him to do well! He stayed up 'til 2 am lastnight studying and tossed and turned all night. I know hes probably so tired and stressed out this morning. I made him a to-go cup of coffee this mornin and a sausage egg and cheese biscuit this morning to get his brain ready ( I know I know I am sucha great wife! heheh :) ) Well back to work...wish I didnt have to work! it sux! Love to all the mommies!

5/14/07: Well I finally gave in and bought a bigger size pair of pants! On Friday I was 15 minutes late to work bc none of my pants fit me and I was getting sooo frustrated! My belly has just popped out in just one week bc my pants fit me last week! Oh well....what are you gonna do?! Well my sis, Ashley, came for for Mothers Day from TN and she and I suprised my mom with Ashley. My mom was speechless and started crying when my sister walked in the door. It was a great suprise..and absolutely priceless! My sis left late lastnight and it takes her and her hubby 12 hours to get back home, so I bet theyre exausted. I miss my sissy! Well we're back to Monday...yippy! NOT! Oh BTW: My hubby passed his National Registry for the NNFD....we are so excited and he is now an Emergency Medical Technician and will be on the ambulance until September when he goes into the Fire Academy and then in January he will graduate and then we can start looking for a house! Yay! I cannot wait...The Process for the Fire Dpt is sucha long one. First you take the entry test, than if you passed you MAY geta call to take the agility test, than if you pass that you MAY get a call for an interview, than if the interview goes well, you May get a call back to take the polygraph and if you pass that you MAY get a call back for the final interview, if That goes well they MAY call you and hire you and then you have to pass about 5 sections with a final at the end of each one and if you dont pass a final, you lose your job, so I am SO PROUD of Kris for getting through all of that. He's such an amazing man! My baby daddy!

5/31/07: Well I had my 24 week u/s yesterday and Riley is weighing in at a pound and a half! and I'm weighing in at....well...I dont really wanna talk about it.....Ive gained 15 lbs! AHHHH! They said I should gain a pound a week from here on...thats 15 weeks! They said the weight should come off within a month after birth so I'm gainin this weight for my lil Riley! The u/s showed that she was a healthy baby girl...yes she is still a girl! hahaha, no un expected parts have grown heheh :) Well guess what!? I traded in my 2000 2 door Saturn for a 2005 Toyota Tundra. It's ocean blue and 4 doors and has 40,000 miles and it is so spacious and beautiful! It has a flip down dvd player in the back seat so Riley can sit in her car seat and watch Disney movies! Kris will be driving it most of the time though, but BOTH of our names are on it, so I am going to drive that big 'ol truck too! Right now I'm driving my sis-in-laws 4Runner until this wkend when I can figure out how to drive a stick. I'm going to drive Kris' 2 Door Manual Honda Civic until around September and then we are going to sell that and I'm going to go ahead and buy my step moms 4 door Acura RL so we'll both have baby friendly cars. I cant wait! This is mine and Kris' first purchase together and my first purchase ever bc I have never had to make car pymnts, so its a big step for me but I good one I think and I prayed that God would give me a clear sign to let me know if this was a right decision and he told me it was! It's real scary growin up but ya gotta do it ya know!? Well I am so happy Riley is healthy! Here's a pic of our truck!:

6/18/07: Well this weekend was great bc I got to spend it with Kris :) We went to go see his new baby nephew at the hospital, (pictures below) and we hung out just me and him and watched a movie. Saturday I laid out at the pool for a bit while he went to his parents house to go work on his 50. Then we just hung out again. Sunday, I made Kris breakfast in bed and gave him a Father "to-be" card then I went to church and took my Dad out to Captain Georges and gave him a 3D pic of Riley in a frame and then we went out on the river, had dinner with his rents and took a golf cart ride around the neighborhood. Then lastnight me and Kris sat in bed and talked for about an hour about how we met and what we thought of eachother when we were with eachother..we got all turned on and Kris was like, "Dang baby, I'm getting turned on talkin about it, we shoudl do it!" and I was like, "Yeah me too but I'm really tired"...so we went to bed, hahaha thats so mean of me! He knows I love him though, I wish I had a good sex drive but for some reason it is not as strong before I get pregnant...I sure hope it comes back. I DO like to cuddle all the time though. I just want to be with Kris 24/7... I am so freakin clingy lately! Anyways, it was a nice weekend! Now its Monday, back to work! BLAH! It pays my bills though! Well I have my glucose test on Friday, so hopefully that goes well and then an OB physical....Well any hoot...TTYL!:

7/3/07: Ok well I took my glucose test on Friday and they havnt called me back, so I think my results came out good! I got a suprise 3D u/s. The nurse was taking my blood pressure and the u/s tech asked the nurse if she could borrow me to try out their new 3D/4D u/s machine. I was soooo excited. So I was the first Prego to use their new machine and it was FREE! Sweeet! Riley didnt want to look up, she was faced down the whole time, but at least we got a little of her profile and at least I got to see that sweet baby! Ok ladies...I have a question???? I am sure it is just me but I have had dreams that my hubby cheats on me. Kris told me lastnight that he loves me so much and he would never do anything to hurt me out of no where while we were eatin popcorn in bed lastnight. I dno why I dream and think about stuff like that. I guess I just have low self esteem lately bc I am not completely comfortable with my body...cottage cheese... I think that it might be me being insecure of my body making me insecure about what Kris thinks of me? He tells me I'm beautiful and I know he would never cheat on me but why do I have dreams like that? "They" say that you dream about things you fear the most, I guess I dream about that bc I just dno what I would do if Kris were un faithful bc I just love him SOOOO MUCCH it hurts! My love for him has grown sooo strong since Ive gotten pregnant...maybe just my hormones. Plus with his long 24 hour shifts, while I'm at home alone, it makes me think of what my life would be without him....I cry just about every night hes away at work bc I miss him so much and i think about what if something ever happened to him??? What would I do? I dno why I am feeling like this, but it sux and I really wish it would go away. Do any of you feel the same ever?

7/6/07: Great News!.....My sis in law, Stephanie is finally knocked up! After having a miscarriage at 9 wks and having to wait to have one period, she's pregnant! I am going to start praying now that her baby is happy and healthy! Oh I am sooooo Excited!

Well I havent gotten a call that anything went wrong with my glucose test, so 'm guessing I dont have gestational diabetes! Yay! Well It's getting closer...Only 10 wks til my due date! I have my baby showers on July 22nd and 28th! Yay!!!!!

7/9/07: Well I have some bad news...my sis-in-law had another miscarriage :( She was only about not even 5 wks but her pregnancy test was positive on Thursday and yesterday she started spotting a little and then it stopped and then she started cramping and bleeding clots today. I am just so sad for her. I want her to get prego so bad! Anyway, I'll just have to keep praying for her. She's 26 and shes just ready to get pregnant and have a full-term baby!

7/10/07: Bloody Nose: I get one just about every morning! This morning I breathed in and this huge bloody clot like loogie came out of my mouth and then my nose just started to flow. Then I got a little lightheaded. I called my doc and I'm waiting now for a nurse to call me back bc obviously the receptionist couldnt tell me if that was normal. Has this happened to anyone at all???

ok well I heard back from the OB, well a nurse and she said that it is very common to have nose bleeds during pregnancy but if I'm worried about it then I could go see my Primary Care Physician. Why would she say that? If it's normal, then why would I need to go see a dr. if I'm worried about it?? Should I be worried about it? I mean, why couldn't she say, "It's normal and don't worry about it but if it becomes a problem then you can call your PCP." Instead she says, "It's normal, but if youre worried about it, call your PCP." How rude! I hate my OB office sometimes, theyre so impersonable! Like, my sis in law went to the dr yesterday after she miscarried and they did a pregnancy test on her which came out negative (yeah..probably bc she bled the embyo out!) and they were like, "You probably weren't pregnant in the first place...oh well...just try again..." I mean, What the crap!? Couldn't he of been like, "I am so sorry for your loss and it's going to be ok, we'll just keep on trying." They are so freakin mean there! They may have gone through this stuff a million times, but to the person it's happening to, it's their child that they loved right away when they first saw that positive pregnancy test and like me...Ive only been pregnant once! How the crap am I supposed to know what is supposed to happen in my pregnancy!? Sorry...but I am going to vent! It is ridiculous! Have some compassion man! oooooooooooh it makes me so angry!

7/24/07: Here's some pics of our weekend at the beach...it was nice to get a vacation even though it was only an hour away from home hahahha! I also had a small breakfast baby shower but sorry...no pics! AHHH! I have another one this weekend coming up and i promise I will get some pics of that! I just got some cash and some gift cards which is great so I can pick out whatever I want! Me and Riley are both doinf well and Riley is kickin like a crazy girl...I sure do love it! Less than 8 weeks 'til my due date! Praise the Lord!

Here's some pics of my baby shower:

This is my living room and bedroom...and some pics of what the nursery looks like...not anywhere near finished:

7/27/07: Well when I got home yesterday from work...this is what Kris had done for me..(well Riley) but this is what the nursery looks like so far...all we need now is the dresser (which Kris' mom is getting) a big rug in the middle, a crib skirt and the window panels....which I hope i get at my last baby shower that my church is throwing me on August 18th :):

8/21/07: Updated pics of Riley's Nursery. I still need a mattress cover, window panels and a crib skirt and then I'll be all set...gotta wait til Friday though when I get paid. I have my 36 week dr's appt today and then I start going every week. At this appointment they check for dialation and Riley's position :) (or so I thought, they havnt even freakin checked!)

8/31/07: okay here are updated pics of the nursery. It is all finished, now all it needs is Riley! HUrry up and get here baby girl!

omg how big was baby at birth? looks tiiiiiny!! cute :)

diamondjadeandbean - Monday, 16 June
I know what you mean! I am so excited over this baby, but the feelings of "How do I love another?" is still there. Things will work out just fine Erin, you know that! ; ) I am mixed about what I want this time. On the one hand, 2 little girls running around would be AWESEOME! And I have all the girl stuff, and know how to handle a girl. But at the same time, I want to see what my little boys will look like! I want to see a mini "Jon" running around! But the thought of a mishievious little boy scares me! LOL I am now 8 weeks and 4 days. I get my 3rd ultrasound on Thursday. I can't wait! We are not finding out the gender this time however. So it'll be a big surprise. I am also going to try a natural birth/waterbirth if the pool is available. Sooo are you already thinking of names? Once again, if it's a boy, it'll be after daddy...so Jonathan David II (we don't like j.r.). And for a girl we have to decide between Sophielle Grace (pronounced So-fee-elle), and Oceana Skye (Oh-shee-ana). I put a poll up on here, and right now they are neck and neck! I like them both equally...Well let my know when you get the new page set up! Can't wait to see your belly grow again!

Oh, and as far as symptoms go. I feel just fine! My morning sickness was gone by 5 weeks (I found out at 3 weeks) and now all I really have is bouts of sleepiness.

ZMiracleBoy - Monday, 16 June
WOW! Congratulations Erin! How are you feeling? Any morning sickness? I always wanted my kiddos close together but I guess God had another plan... instead they are 11 years.

Is Kris excited to be a daddy again? I'm gonna have fun watching you and Diamond pregnant at the same time together!

snowflakesparkle04 - Tuesday, 20 May
Hey there,

diamondjadeandbean - Saturday, 17 May
How did things go with your sis? How's the baby? I hope she had a smooth induction and the baby is happy and healthy! Let me know! : ) And congrats to her!

diamondjadeandbean - Wednesday, 14 May
Hey Erin I'm so glad to hear from you! So Riley is learning to cruise huh? Have you babyproofed everything yet? lol Because I know that Serenity is constantly bumping herself and all the fun stuff (MAKES ME A NERVOUS WRECK!). some days it looks like she's been through a war! So she said "mama"?! Isn't it just fantastic?! I love hearing that, gives me butterflies. How was your Mother's Day by the way? A Happpy Belated one to you! Mine was great! Jon got me my doppler, so as soon as I get it here I'll be able to listen to the baby (well in a few weeks anyway). Things here are really good, lovely weather. We're waiting for my military refferal to an OB so we can set up our 1st appointment and get on the housing list for a bigger place. I can't believe you're closing on a house! That's absolutely fantastic! CONGRATS! You have to post pics so I can see it! Pretty please? Other than that I'm just here taking care of Serenity, and growing the new bean, LOL. Oh, and we're going to get 2 little kittens this weekend! I'm so glad to have pets again. Well I hope your sickness goes away and you're feeling great soon. Be sure to write me back. I miss hearing from you! ; )

Anna81 - Wednesday, 14 May
OMG Erin, I hope u are ok. You poor thing. I wonder what is it that u have!?! Maybe u have a horrible flu that your body is just taking longer to get rid of it. I feel so bad for u. I know u must feel terrible. If your not better soon, you better go back to the docs and figure this thing out. I will be thinking about you adn I am sending you lots of get wells :o). Keep me posted on you!! YAY I know u are soo excited to move into your house. It is a excting time and you get to call it YOUR own!!. I am soo HAPPY for u girl!Congrats to your sis, hope she has a safe delivery. Riley is just on a roll. Shes so smart. Cant beleive that she is standing. I am sure youll have a walker soon!!!She a good eater for u? YAY she said mama. i am still wating for Maliay to say mama. She says Lana and dada and thats it so far.Shes trying to crawl. She rocks back and forth. She can get back to the sitting position from the crawling position and can pull herself up to the knees lol. She loves to stand up while holding on to the table or something. I am sure she will be craling soon. I am excited for her to crawl, but in NO hurry for it to happen lol. Lana is just about fully potty trained. She finally went poo in it yesterday of weeks of doing it in a pull up. I am hoping she got it down now. She wakes up dry and everything. Everything else has been going good. Joe ripped his arm outta socket a week and 1/2 ago. That was pretty nasty lol. took him to the hospital and everything. He seems to be doing alot better tho. Nothing really new with me. Staying really busy with the girls.. Hope your new move all goes well & hope u are feeling better SOON. keep me updated girl!TTYS!
