story of my life

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
My Name is Photobucket

I was born and raised in the beautiful State of Maine, and have lived here my entire life for the most part. I have an amazing fiancee named Curtis, whom I have spent 4 wonderful years with already! We found out on March 27, 2006 that we were pregnant, unexpectedly. Our son, Nikolias Keith was born December 5th, 2006! We decided in late March, that we were going to start TTC #2... we were very, very blessed to find out on April 23, 2008 that WE ARE PREGNANT WITH OUR SECOND LITTLE ONE!!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

So I am currently the mother to one, adorable and incredibly smart and loving little boy named Nikolias! He was born December 5, 2006 weighing 6lbs, 12 oz and 20.5 inches long! He is the LIGHT OF MY LIFE!

I adore being a mother more than anything else I have EVER done in my entire life!!!

** MY BFP on APRIL 23, 2008 **

Due in December

April 23, 2008

So, I finally got my BFP today while I was home on my lunch break. I got a BFN yesterday, with no faint line, nothing... first thing in the morning, and had told myself that I was not going to test again until this weekend... but I guess I just couldn't wait!! Thank Goodness!! I was soooo thankful and soooo grateful when I saw the results... I was soooo excited! We are very, very blessed in that we got pregnant on our first month of trying. I would have never guessed that. After I had my son, I had the Mirena IUD placed in me and then had to have it out in January due to an infection. Then went on the patch until the last week in March when I took my last one off... I thought that it might take us a few months, but it appears that that was not the case. So far my pregnancy symptoms:

*swollen, huge, tender and engorged breasts

* bloated and swollen abdomen

* extremely tired & sleepy all the time

* extremely moody, teary and emotional... at any moment, my mood can change

* slight nausea

* cravings so far: pasta salad, pasta, sour cream

So our journey through another pregnancy begins.... I am so thankful, and so blessed and I am praying for all my TTC Mommies to get their BFP soon as well!!! BABYDUST to all TTC Mommies!!

life update May 13, 2008

So... I am 7 weeks, 3 days pregnant at this point. Morning sickness kicked in around 6 weeks on the day, but definitely kicked in a little worse at 7 weeks. It still isn't anything like it was when I was pregnant with Nikolias, but it is still pretty hard sometimes. Mainly, I just can't EVER have a completely empty belly... lol... AND THIS KID LOVES anything fattening and anything that I shouldn't eat...!!! haha, when I eat fruit... the baby wants FAT... anything healthy seems to make my stomach REALLY, REALLY hurt!! I really have a strong feeling it is a girl this time around, but we will see... :) My first appointment is next Monday 5/19 at 8:40 with the same doctor that I had when I was pregnant with Nikolias... so I am hoping that if we can't hear the heartbeat, we can at least get an ultrasound, which is what happened when I was pregnant with Nikolias at 10 weeks at my first appointment. Can't wait to see that strong heartbeat!!! Other than morning sickness I am feeling pretty good... :) My boobs have GOT to stop growing, lol... they are getting enormous! and they are sore all the time, which I didn't have when I was pregnant with Nikolias either....! I started calling the baby "she" because I am that certain it is a girl :) Can't WAIT to find out~!!!

BABYDUST to all my TTC Mommies, and STICKY BABYDUST to all my pregger Mommies :):) Love you all!! *Sorry to vent, haha* ~* Autumn *~

well this weekend im actually off for a change. We plan on going to Hamlin to do my mother n law's hardwood floors. Derek is going out there this following weekend to build her deck. Im glad i have a handyman. I just wish he could handle our house first..but its his mom...so i can't complain much.

Well he can't seem go gain enough strength in quitting. He bought a pack of cigarettes bc he said he was stressed!! I told him that I guess I am not that important to him. I pulled up a nasty youtube video and told him he was not going to smoke tomorrow. He handed me his cigarettes and said fine. I just don't know what to do with him. I guess ill have to move to PLAN B....tell his mom. She doesn't think its acceptable and will make him think twice next time.

My symptoms now...are pretty much nothing. My soreness has gone away and now im just tired. Im always tired so its nothing really new. I woke up this morning about 11:30 or so and started to watch Juno. That is such a great movie. Have you seen it?? I think im going to buy it on dvd. I purchased it through PPV but I want to own it on disk.

I hope you have a great weekend and ill message you on monday or so to see how your weekend was. Take care and enjoy!!

Hi Autumn, enjoyed reading your messages!

This is my first pregnancy and im finding the whole first trimester very mysterious and wierd! I am 9 weeks tomorrow, and have now officially missed two periods, which is awesome ;) Me and my husband found out at 5 weeks so its been a month of knowing im preggas and my lower tummy is now starting to expand agh! This website is great, and is a real comfort to me when i have a random question or worry! I really hope you discover that your having a baby girl! We are secretly hoping for a boy but in my dreams the baby is dressed in pink so we obviously would like both!

All the best! Kelly x

jennifer2008 - Wednesday, 14 May
Today will be really hard for him bc he had a bad start to his day. Im glad i never smoked too...its an aweful habit and the smell is horrendous!! I hate it when he tries to sneak one late at night inside the house. I don't like him smoking in the house but i caught him one night when i was pretend sleeping. I said, "what are you doing smoking in my house!"...it was so funny he took it out of his mouth and tried to hide it. I told him to get that out of here. I don't think he smokes in here anymore...lol.

I really hope its our turn...my nipples have been sore for about 3-4 days now. Ive been waking up in the middle of the night hot and kicking off all the covers while Dj is freezing...hmm. Did you have any tingling in your abdomen?? I have had some today on my left side then my right...idk. BFP...BFP....come on BFP!!! ttc


jennifer2008 - Wednesday, 14 May
haha...i wonder if your new neighbor is getting internet...lol. We get our internet from Derek's dad. He lives next door so we can pick up the waves from him. I loved it when we lived in an apartment bc we always had a connection everywhere we went and had 3 to choose from.

You can rent a doppler? I didn't know that. Where do you rent them from? I would love to rent one when i become preggers...that would be awesome. I would feel more comfortable with myself if i knew everything was ok instead of always wondering and worrying. Ill have to check that out.

Well yesterday Dj didn't smoke...day 1 complete. I just hope he continues. He was really crabby and today he went crazy when he woke up bc he woke up late. All i heard was GD this and GD that...I HATE IT WHEN HE SAYS GD!! I always get on to him bc he know i hate it!!

hello there everythings going okay, didnt really concentrate on BDn on when i ovulate so dont think this will be my month, first i had a virus than after i got over that which was on sunday monday i got sick to my stomach bad, throwing up constantly was in ER last nite gave me some meds for vomiting n nausea it was horrible but feeling a lil better today still going to work sick ugh.......so i know this isnt my month hope Jennifer gets her BFP this month hehe, how are you in the babies doing?


jennifer2008 - Tuesday, 13 May
Well Dj said he was going to quit on Sunday but he decided he wanted two more days of smoking. I said whatever...just quit when you want...im tired of supporting and trying to convince you. So today..i think is day 1 of not smoking. I hope he can resist the temptation from his friend that he works with. I think another think that convinced him is all the problems my family has had and seen what we have gone through...he doesn't want that to happen to our family. I just wish Curt would want to quit. Maybe you could search for some videos or something on youtube...to show him what could happen if he continues smoking.

My weekend was ok...it could have been better. I had to go to my grandpa's funeral..he lived in Brady, Tx. Other than that it was okay. I had EWCM on friday night and Dj wasn't there with me for the funeral. He had to go to his sister's college graduation. But we BD the day before so I wasn't worried. Then we BD when i got back.

For some reason I have a lot of faith this month that it is our turn. I really hope it is. We BD every 2-3 days. I heard it wasn't good to BD everyday since the sperm count goes down. Today I am CD 18...im not testing til im one week late. So that would be...May 30. I hope I can stay strong and not test!! AF better not show up!!!

Im sorry you have morning sickness but its all worth it in the end. I just hope it doesn't get really bad. Do you plan on putting the sonogram pic on here? I can't wait to see it!! Tell me how it goes!! 6 days until appt....YEA!! =)


mommy2b1208 - Tuesday, 13 May
yes i love it!! well last night i had a dose of real pregnancy lol. at about 1:30 this morning i woke up with horrible stomach pains that resulted in getting sick it was absolutely horrible. but i guess that is just my lil bean telling me its okay. my sisters mother in law does 4d ultrasounds and she is going to give me like 2 or 3 of them for free and she wants to do the first at 12 weeks because she said when they get that good of a picture she can tell me 90 percent what she thinks it will be boy of girl!! i cant wait!!1 how have you been!


aselleck26 - Tuesday, 13 May
Congrats on your pregnancy!!


mommy2b1208 - Tuesday, 13 May
Check out my 8 weeks photos! My belly is starting to grow already!!!!! Tell me what you think!


Renee11201 - Monday, 12 May
Morning sickness sucks lol, I had it bad with all 3 and luckily its pretty much gone now.. Thanks for letting me vent and listening to me lol Im doing alright, my belly is getting big. Im excited about having a girl but my oldest son (6 yrs old) hates the idea of having a sister, he says he is going to run away or lock himself in his room lol hes so cute :)

happy mothers day


jennifer2008 - Friday, 9 May
HERE YOU GO...I FOUND THIS FOR YOU!!! IT WAS SO CUTE...HAD TO SEND IT!!!



jennifer2008 - Friday, 9 May


Dj told me yesterday that this saturday will be his last day smoking...im so happy!!! I wasn't even pushing him to quit smoking. He said hes tired of spending all that money on cigarettes...lol....FINALLY!!! He's in the saving mode right now..lol. Im so happy he finally decided... I wouldn't know what to do in 20 yrs if Dj told me that he had cancer...it would just break my heart...he wouldn't see our kids graduate from college..in that respect...i couldn't even afford college for them. I prolly couldn't afford the house...car.. etc. I pray Curt comes to his senses about what he is going to lose if not....its not worth it!!!

Not only that....women generally live longer than men anyways...so i plan on losing him before i pass away...its sad to think of but i have better eating, exercise and vitamin habits...i don't drink only about 3 times a year...i don't smoke. I guess it all really depends on when GOD decides to take us from this earth.

About the discipline situation...i have no idea what i will do with my kids. I was thinking probably timeout...i was never spanked or had a hand raise to...or even grounded. I learned from my sisters getting their butt spanked...we had to be in the same room and know what their getting a spanking for. I learned from their mistakes. I don't want to spank my child either...Dj said he would only spank them when they are older and start getting out of control. We don't want them to fear us when they are young. Dj feared all of his stepdads...i never want anyone to spank our kids. We made an agreement that if something happens and we split up that the other half isn't allowed to spank or discipline our kids.


jennifer2008 - Friday, 9 May
I know what u mean...my grandfather passed away in january from emphasema...(sorry for the spelling)...he was a smoker but did quit...=(...i just dont want 2 c my man like that or anyone else...its so sad...

I hope Niko gets out of the terrible 2's soon...i lived w my niece during that time...u just hav 2 hav a lot of patience....i have a lot patience for kids but only 2 a certain extent...i think ill have more for my own...


jennifer2008 - Thursday, 8 May
I have given up on trying to help Derek quit smoking...i bought him the whole 8 week patches and then some...which was abt $300...told him a deadline...he stopped for a week after the deadline...idk what 2 do now. I told him that hes not goin 2 b smoking around me when i become preggers or he will b out...ive given him chances! He gets 2 chose which is more important...me and our child or smoking...


jennifer2008 - Thursday, 8 May
You have plenty on your plate right now to even think about planning a wedding. That would be a great idea to wait and have them be in your wedding. One of my friends got married a couple of months after her lil girl was born and her mom walkd the baby down...she was the flower girl...lol. It was the cutest!

I dont really feel any different now that i am engaged and prolly wont when we get married. We already feel married and the only think that would change would be my last name. I cant wait...im ready!
