Thursday October 4, 2007

Hello everyone!! My name is, Beauti I am 31 years old, and this is my second pregnancy, but hopefully this one I will carry to full term, and deliver a happy healthy baby! I honestly didn't expect to bring a baby in my life the way that I have. When, I was younger, I honestly thought that I would be married, and have the white picket fence. However-life always hands us things that are unexpected. The first pregnancy was a surprise for me, and due to what happened which I find painful to talk about, I decided to get pregnant again! I am happy to say that I am pregnant, and I am happy about it! I worry sometimes about the baby whom, I've nicknamed Boobie until, we find out the sex! I had my first visit @ the doctor office Wednesday September 26, 2007. While there, I didn't see a doctor, I just filled out papers, and spoke to a social worker, took a HIV test, they took blood, and urine. My first OFFICAL prenatal visit is October 5, 2007 and I will be 8 weeks. I hope that I will have an ultrasound. I am anxious to hear Boobie's heart beat, OR see my Boobie.
