My profile

My name is Alicia I am 24yrs old with a wonderful little girl named McKenzie and a new little girl on the way. I am engaged to my childhood bestfriend. Mikey and I met when we were 7 yrs old, we decided to date at 19 and had McKenzie at 20. We decided we would like to have another but we would leave it in gods hands on when it would happen. Deep down be both wanted another one really soon and we figured since I got pregnant with McKenzie the first time we ever slept together we would get pregnant again really soon. 4yrs later we still hadnt conceived, but the week of McKenzies 4th Birthday we found out I was pregnant. We were both so excited but scared, and we both new right away we wanted another girl, but McKenzie was the 1st girl in his family to be born in over 20 yrs, so we had a feeling this would be a boy. But to our suprise on 4/24 the OB said it was another girl, and here we are...

9/16/08- I havent updated in forever, I have been pretty depressed and I am back to work and HATE IT. I miss being home with my girls. Daisy Jo is getting so big I cant beleive how much she eats. I miss being pregnant so much though, I wouldnt trade a minute with her its just I enjoyed the attention you get being pregnant.

8/1/08- I gave birth 7/25/08 3:21pm, please check out my birth story.

7/24/08-Well I went to the hospital 7/22 because I havent stopped leaking. The midwife said my water hadnt broke but I was 2cm 60% and she was at a -2 station. Yesterday I had my OB app and my doc wasnt gonna check me and he just said we will see you next week. I got upset and then he said he didnt realize I was almost 39 weeks so he decided to schedule an induction for 7/25 07:30 am. I am so excited but sad at the same time. He wrote me off of work starting today, but I dont feel like I have enough time to get everything ready. Our bags are all packed and I dont think there is much else to do but I just feel like there are a million things going on...

7/19/08-OMG today is horrible, my back has never hurt so bad in my life and I can barely walk. I feel like every step I take she is gonna fall out(and right now I wish she would). I am so hungry but the cramps, stomach ache and back pain is so bad that I doubt I will be able to keep it down if I try...

7/18/08-So yesterday I was reading some post from 38 weeks and a girl went into labor after walking 2.5 miles. So at 08:00 last night when I got home from work I walked my daughter to DQ and got some ice cream for her. Mikey stated freaking out thinking I would make myself go into labor and I was hoping it would work. But as you can see still no luck. I am getting really impatient and really just want her to come, I know she will come when she is ready but man if seems like its been a life time.

7/17/08-I had to reschedule my OB app yesterday and Im pretty mad about it because I really want to know whats going on and the next available app wasnt till 6/23. I lost my mucus plug this morning and I have been leaking all day, I hope this means shes will come tonight but I doubt it. McKenzie can 2 days after I lost my plug. I know I will miss being pregnant and all the attention but I also want her to come so bad...

7/11/08-Okay 37 weeks today and I went for my U/S they said she weights around 6lbs. But I am really upset because the doc didnt do an exam or anything so I have no clue if I am dilated or efaced. He said she was so low they couldnt even get a good shot of her during the scan, now wouldnt you think the doc may say lets see if your dilated. I go back 7/16 so hopefully they will check me this time. UGHHHHH!!!!!!

7/6/08-Fireworks were great, McKenzie had a blast. I sat on the ground and I must have sat where there was water because my butt got all wet and I thought my water might have broke but no contractions came so nothing to worry about. I am beginning to freak out because I dont have anything together yet, we still cant figure out a name. Mike and I are both so stuck on what to name this little girl.

7/4/08-Happy 4th of July! I unfortunately I have to work today, thats nothing new. Still waiting to go to the doc for the U/S it seems like the 11th is so far away. The baby finally dropped thank god, I was miserable. As soon as I get home we are taking McKenzie to a fair and fireworks, she has waited for this all week. Im starting to get really impatience I cant wait for her to arrive!!!

6/28/08-Today is one of those days. I feel like she is gonna burst out of me and not like delivering, but out of the front of my stomach. OMG, she is so high today, I have tried pushing her down and its not working at all, I feel like she is sitting on my ribcage. This has been going on for about 5 days now and I dont know what to do but I am miserable.

6/27/08-I think I had a break down below, wow. Went to the OB today and got the Group B test done, I had it with my 1st so I probably have it again. I am measuring at 33 weeks now and have lost 4lbs since last week. The doc wants another U/S done on the 11th since I still am not gaining weight, which I cant beleive it has taken this long for them to notice. I have mentioned the weight issue for months, since the beginning of this I have lost a total of about 15lbs and now they are finally worried. The doc is gonna weight and measure the baby, I cant wait to find out how big she is because I really feel like shes gonna be at least 7lbs which is much bigger than McKenzie was at 5lbs 5oz. The doc is worried my fluids are low and the baby isnt growing, which is gonna make me go crazy waiting until the 11th to find out if everything is okay. Yuck!!!!

6/22/08-Baby started moving again, THANK GOD! She hasnt been as active as usual but I think its because she doesnt have much space left, I feel like a whale but I still havent gained any weight this pregnany I have just lost weight.Weird!.. Still havent had a baby shower, I was really hoping my friends or family would give me a suprise shower but it doesnt look like thats gonna happen, I will have to do it myself, which is really depressing. It makes me so upset, I hear about people that got showers given to them and I cant even get anyone to get together and help me with mine. I am gonna have to do it all by myself, which is not the way its supposed to be...It makes me cry everytime I think about it, not sure if its just the pregnancy making me really emotional or what but I cant beleive I only have 5.5 weeks left and no one has mentioned a shower. Some days I really hate my family and friends... I need to quite complaining or I will just upset myself and write a book with all the stuff I could say right now....But all that matters is my little girl and the baby are well.

6/20/08-Went to the OB today and my BP was ok but the baby didnt move at all last night or all morning, so my doc said to go home eat and drink OJ. When I got home at 0930 I drank 16oz OJ, a banana, sweet ice tea, kool-aid, and chicken with hot peppers and by 11:30 she still wasnt moving so the doc said I need to go to the hospital and get a non stress test done. I was there 2 hours and everything looked good but they dont know why she isnt moving at all, Im getting scared...

6/19/08-I had an app. with my reg family doc yesterday, I have lost a total of 7lbs during the pregnancy, no seems to think its a big deal, but everything I read says I should have gained at least 20lbs so far. My B/P was 140/92 and he got really worried so I called the OB today and I have to go in first thing tomorrow morning. At least I get to find out what Im measuring at this week. Mike, Mckenzie and I went shoping for the 1st time for the baby last night, it was really fun but McKenzie was so jealous. We bought her a couple of toys and new things but she still didnt like the attention we were putting towards the baby supplies. I think we bought over 300 diapers!

6/13/08-Had my U/S this morning, the doc did it in about 3 minutes. I am really upset because I have been waiting to see my baby again and she didnt even give me a chance to look at her, didnt take pics or check her weight. I have been so excited about today and now its over. I am 33 weeks today but the doc says I am measuring at 35-36 weeks, and in total I have lost 6lbs throught the whole thing(but I did gain 2lbs since last app) So thats better than nothing. I really hope things start to get better and this depression goes away. But I really cant complain the baby is healthy and doing great and thats all that matters right now, I think I will start to feel better when I get closer to meeting her....

6/12/08-I go for my 3rd u/s tomorrow and for some reason I am very nervous. I have been very depressed lately I feel like my life has fallen apart, and I cant seem to get my self together. I keep thinking I will get everything done and taken care of before she comes but every week that passes I get closer to her being here and I have completed nothing. I am really hoping tomorrow will cheer me up!!!.
