Well I haven `t really eneterd anything on my page so here we go. Well I am now in my tenth week and I am tryin to be happy but I have a lot of emotions right now. I remebember this feeling with my daughter she is now 5. I just can `t shake it I am not depressed just not really happy not like myself.I know me feeling sick all the time doesn `t help. alot of people just do not understand me right know. My husband is great he tries really hard to make me feel better. But I think after the sickness goes away I will be better. I guess I will write again later.

Monday, 31 Mar

Well today is a good day,don `t get me wrong I am still feeling sick. But I can tell it is maybe going away it is not to bad. (I hope I didn `t speak to soon)Well yesterday went out and got maternity clothes can no longer fit in my own.(Bummer)I just found out that I might be getting laid off July 10 that sucks! But I guess they are gonna try to fight to keep us. I guess what you have to understand is that I live in Michigan and it is down right bad here especially the housing market to many forclosures.So I hope it will end good because I planned on working until my scheduled C-section Date so I guess I will hope for the best.

Sorry It has been a while since I have updated. Well Things haven't been all that great, alot of fighting with my husband. And god knows I hate when we fight .My daughter has been sick off and on with some Virus, nose infection and an ear infection so I have taken a lot of time off of work. She had a horrible rash all over her body I took her to the emergency room and they said it again is the VIRUS and it is not contagious but to keep her out of school until Monday. Which was yesterday and she did really good, after being out so many days. I had a doctors appt yesterday just the monthly, I was so ticked off they had me in that room for 40 minutes until I got up and asked the nurse was the doctor comming in she said she thought I was already gone. So in 1 minute there the doctor was. But on the good side my M\S is getting a lot better and I have gotten a little of my energy back. Not quite a 100% but 45% is better than back to square one.I good thing I don't think I mentioned this but I bought a fetal doppler for my daughter, and it is the best thing I could have bought she loves that she get to listen to the babies heart beat everyday. I let her find it and evrything (well I help guide a litte). well it is still early in the day only 10:09am Where I am (at work) so I will probably have plenty to say tomorrow. TATA

May 5th

Well how do I start it has been a very bad weekend. I was at work Friday and my back was in so much pain I was crying. I called my doctor and the told me to come in but do not drive myself. Lucky me I work with my brother and sister-in-law. Well my brother took me and they stated that I had a UTI and a Kidney infection, so I was admitted to the hospital Friday. What really sucked is that my husband had to go to Texas for work Sunday Morning I didn't get out until Sunday night. Well I guess it all worked out but I have to takes these pills 4 times a day for 2 weeks and then I have to take them everyday until I give birth. I was really scared to say the least then I had my 5 year old crying every time my husband and her left the hospital. So I was very sad. I went to the doctors for a follow up this morning and she stated that if the back pain did not stop in a week I have to come back and go to triage that sucks. I haven't had a kidney infection since I was sixteen. Well pretty tired today my husband is gone for a week so I have my daughter by myself. Then My dog gets up barking at 3:30 to 4:30am for someone to let her outside so since my husband is not here I have to take that on to. I am going back to work on Wednesday if I feel better. So that was my weekend Scary for me but I am a trooper I will be ok. And yes the baby is fine and kicking. I will find out the sex on May 19th.

May 20th

Well Yesterday I did find out IT'S A GIRL!
I am very happy about it and the tech did say that she could not change to a he down the line. The only reason why I was so careful is because when I had a 20 week scan with my daughter they told me she was a boy .I had a baby shower and i had gotten all boy stuff and then at 8 1\2 months I had my last scan and they said it was a girl so I was happy but upset at the same time because I had all my stuff I could not take back cloths I washed, all the big stuff like the bassinett, swing, stroller, highchair and bed set I had already washed everything. But we are happy with this girl i actually will get a pink stroller so I am Excited. I am glad to be feeling alot better form that stupid kidney Infection And Uti I was not doing good at all. I also think I am not as moody as before. The one thing I feel sad about is that sometimes Lately I just don't feel pregnant anymore during the day so when I get home I have to get the doppler out to make sure she is still there. i know I have already gained 40 pounds and I am only 18 weeks but that doesn't bother me any more it is in my DNA to get big when I am pregnant but I know I will lose it like I did last time. Other than that I wish time went a little faster. Oh my sister,family friend and sister-in-law are starting to plan my shower I really don't need anything I actually saved everything from my daughter so I am lucky. I need the stroller and carrier because someone told me that car seats expire. But that's ok. Well until next time Ladies Oh I will get more pics up soon.

June 10th

Well I actually come to the site almost everyday but I am gonna update. Well I have not had an appointment in a while my next one is June 16th. I really don't think they will be doing much but you knw the usual weight,urine and listening to the heart beat. The heart beat I actually hear everyday and that actually keeps me sane. I would go crazy if I didn't have that,I would be going to the hospital all the time. Sometimes I just feel like she is not there. Well other than that I have been really tired I try to get the energy but I just can't catch it. I want to start going on my treadmill again but I can't seem to get in the basemant. I have a lot of extra weight on me right now and it just keeps comming and I think that makes it worse. My attitude has gotten a little better I will walk away from my husband before I explode so that has been working out pretty good so far. Oh something did happen you know when I was pregnant with my daughter I use to perm and highlight my hair not problems. BOY OH BOY OH BOY! I have found out not with this one. Well I had gotten my hair highlighted about 3 1\2 months ago, no problems what so ever. But you know where I live in Michigan it is now summer because we have gotten to 94 so I decided to perm my hair my self, (mind you I have done this plenty of times before) and I havent had a perm in about a 1 1\2 so I get up before my hair appointment Sunday morning at 7:30 start perming nothing seems to be going wrong. Oh Boy I start to rinse it out and all of my blond highlights start falling out in the tub. I was rinsing it was still comming after I rinsed and washed I tried conditioner and still didn't stop. When I went to get my hair done she was so mad I had to get straight protein for 1 hour and I am lucky that I have thick hair or I would be bald. And Guess what the perm did not even straighten my hair. So I guess this little girl is making new rules. I keep forgetting about the pics so I will get recent ones up soon.

July 29th

I know it has been a while since I have updated. Well were to start, I did have my guclose test done the 1 hour and I passed. But on the down side my red blood cells are really low so I have to start taking more iron so much that I really just feel sick most of the day. Oh I was supposed to get layed off from my job on the 29th which is today, but they let me go the Friday before. I guess it really wasn't that big of a deal two days before my real date. So now I will be at home for the remainder of my pregnancy which is good. I will start unemployment first check in 2 weeks so not so bad. Other than that we have taken my daughter out of preschool for the summer. So we are home together I think she needs a break before she starts her new school. Other than that it has been really hot here in Michigan so I try to say in the house. We usually go somewhere for the summer but since I am pregnant we are gonna stay close to home I just get to tired. So we are gonna take Bella to Wheels Inn in Canada about 4 1/2 hours away so she can at least have some fun this summer. My next doctors appointment is August 9th just a check up like normal. I have been very tired and moody I try really hard not to be but sometimes I can't help it. I washed my hair because we went swimming and the blow dryer over heated while I was doing my hair and I couldn't do anything but cry cry cry cry. I am supposed to be having a shower on September 21st but not really sure if that is gonna happen either. I'll keep you guys posted. And I promise I am gonna get new pics up. SEE YA LATER!
