My name is Amanda and I am 21 years old. My fiance and I have our first son together. Jacob Clarence was born December 30, 2009 at 12:29 pm. He was 8 lbs. 2 oz. and 20 inches long. I love being a mommy to him and he is my world. I would do anything for my little boy and I look forward to the future seeing him grow and learn. I couldn't imagine life without him now that I can finally hold my little boy in my arms. He is the best thing to ever happen to me :).

ladykilla421 - Wednesday, 17 March Unfortunately ladies, Ive apparently had a miscarriage. I went to the hospital this monday/tuesday because of flank pain and I was told after blood tests that my HCG levels have been steadily dropping since I had blood drawn on friday. Yesterday it was confirmed, my levels dropped a bit more since the previous day and a transvaginal ultrasound detected nothing; by this time they should have been seeing a yolk sac and fetal pole, if not, they should see a yolk sac at the least. Today Im still cramping and Ive started some spotting....Im just so bummed. Just thought Id update you guys as Im getting ready to change my status from pregnant to not pregnant....
austin2009 - Tuesday, 16 March THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR KIND WORDS AND THOUGHTS. YOUR SUPPORT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME!!! I FEEL SO NUMB RIGHT NOW. THANKS AGAIN LADIES!! JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!
austin2009 - Monday, 15 March Hey ladies!! Hope everyone is doing well!! Just wanted to let you all know that I am no longer pregnant....I sadly miscarried early Sunday morning. My doctor is not 100% sure what happened but hopefully I will find out! He thinks that my body just didn't recover completely from my last pregnancy which was just last December so who knows. I have been under a tremendous amount of stress as well....I found out that my husband has been cheating on me.....he had a hicky on his neck.....how cheap and nasty.....and actually told me that he put some Nair for Men on trying to get his face & neck smooth and that he broke out in a rash.......ummmmm yeah right....does he honestly think I was born yesterday......and funny that there were two on his neck on both sides..........so gross. So being under all this stress might have caused the miscarriage.. I am deeply sad..this is now my second miscarriage. I know that everything happens for a reason but I was really beginning to get excited about giving my son a brother or sister that he could be close to...maybe in the future. Only God knows why for sure. I just know that I can't question God and know that oneday I will meet my two angel babies!! Well, I hope you all have a wonderful night!
ladykilla421 - Saturday, 13 March This week has been the craziest of my life....Monday I found out I was pregnant, Sydney has been a handfull and then there was yesterday. I had an apt. with my doctor to confirm my pregnancy. One day a week she works in a sonography clinic doing consults with pregnant women, so she told me to go on in this friday which just so happened to be her "clinic" day. I got an ultrasound which was exciting, my dr. said she would rather have the dating via ultrasound that by my LMP because they are still quite irregular as a result of breastfeeding. So, I had the ultrasound and to my horror, no pregnancy was dectected. My dr said it could be one of three things, 1- I have had an early loss 2- Its too early to show up no an ultrasound or 3- its a tubular pregnancy. I had blood work done after the ultrasound and I have to go in for more blood more this thursday and another ultrasoiund this upcoming friday. My Dr. will look at my HCG levels are increasing as they should and if I have not had an early loss we will try to find the little bean on the ultrasound again! Keep your fingers crossed for me ladies! Ill update you next friday.

sfrizzell1 - Monday, 8 March Hi ladies, just wanted to give an update on Sophia's progress. She had been having issues with vomiting which was causing issues with weight gain. In 2 weeks she had only gained 40 grams and then ended up losing 50 grams in a matter of 4 days. She was looking at going back into the hospital. On Friday we started this medicine as our last option before hospitilization and it has worked miracles. Sophia really blossomed over the weekend. She's gone from vomiting 2-4 times daily to 0 and even gained 2 ounces from Friday to Sunday! I have to again continue to Thank you all for your prayers and support. Last week we ran into Sophia's neo doc that took care of her during her NICU stay. He got another baby with CDLS in the NICU right after Sophia was born and that baby isnt doing nearly as well as our Sophie girl. This doctor is just amazed at how well Sophia's doing. In all his years he's never had a CDLS baby leave the hospital without a g-tube. Sophia's eating on her own and doing well at it. He was also surprised to find out that she's smiling and making the cooing sounds and has different cries for different things. She's on track mentally for her corrected age and he's never seen a CDLS baby do what she's doing. Sophia has beaten the odds prenatally and even more so now that she's here. I honestly believe a huge factor is that she has so many people praying and believing in her. They say that CDLS babies wont gain weight fast BUT in a few days since we stopped the vomiting she gained an ounce a day which is what normal healthy babies do. They say they dont eat and feed well but she's doing just fine. They also say there is ALWAYS a mental delay but so far Sophia is right on track. We refuse to conform into the expectations for CDLS kids and we are out to prove that there is ALWAYS an exeption to the rules. Sophia has always beaten the odds against her and she'll continue to do so. I look at her and just thank God for allowing me to be her mommy. She is a blessing and God chose her to be special and to make an impact on others and to touch people in ways we can only imagine.
