My Profile
Hi everyone, my name is Tara and I just got married August 9th. My last period started August 6. Honeymoon baby for us! Very excited to be here and want to thank you all for your support. It really does help me when I am feeling down. Well happy pregnancy to all and good luck on your journeys...



Week 8 - Can't get out of bed but I have insomnia at night! I feel so sick and dizzy all day long. None of my clothes fit but I'm not showing. Oh boy, and the mood swings are rediculous!! woo-whee! My husband thinks I'm crazy and at times I do wonder...
Week 9 - Ups and downs... Feel great at times, other times not so much. Always tired!! Any advice for headaches?? Can't wait to see a doctor so we can tell the world! or at least our families! Minute Maid Lemonade Ice pops are the best this week!! Justin is starting to come around... He still thinks Im crazy, and I am!

Week 10 - YAY!! Feeling better this week. Not so weepy just a bit Nasty! Don't piss me off! lol! Dizzy a lot, but good. The food thing is crazy one day I want milk, the next oj and I want nothing to do with things I used to eat before I was pregnant! So my sister figured me out this week, but I can't wait to tell our parents! My husband has been more and more understanding as time is going on and actually rubs my belly and kisses it good-night! Makes me love him even more!(shhhh.... we wont tell him that!) I'm always exhaused and I have a pain shooting from my thigh through my left butt cheek?? No idea! But okay, as long as my baby is healthy I dont mind! So happy that the baby is starting to look like a baby and not that weird thing it used to look like! I think we have decided that we want to find out the sex of the baby soon as we can and have the Dr. put it in an envelope so we can open it Christmas morning and make it special! I hope you are all well out there, thank you for yor amazing support! I wonder how women did it before they invented the internet! All your stories are so inspiring! Good Luck and Feel goods to all!



Think our child might come out looking like one of these kids?? lol, so fun!
Week11- This week has been so nice! I have a pinched nerve in my back and a bit of heart burn. I am sensitive but not crazy... I dont think. Very tired but in great spirits. The sick feeling and weird eating has seemed to subside for now. Cant sleep through the night without peeing and I'm very gassy especially at night. Strnage realistic drams a lot! Can't wait to see a doctor and tell my family! Thanks for getting me this far!

Wow!!! 12 weeks! This has been my best week yet! I have been a bit tired, and sleeping like a baby, aside from waking up to pee... I have also been getting headaches at night. I have now gained 4.5 pounds ugh...My attitude seems normal and my boobs are big, but I feel normal almost! I talk to my baby and so does Justin. He still feels silly but he is starting to come around. He is very cute, now that we are twelve weeks he wants to get the spare room cleaned out because he wants to paint!! "Yay!! I cant wait!! I have to decide what to do about some things in my life. I am a dance teacher and our recital is in the first week of June, also I work with the drama club at school and our show will be around May 19... So I have to get a lot of work done ASAP!! All of a sudden it feels like everything is going to start happening very quickly! I am also in graduate school and the end of the semester is May 15. I'm due May 13, but I have to be full time for financial aid!! Hmmmm.... what to do??
Week 13! Wow! We have gotten so far! I have my first Doctors app this Monday coming up! I am so scared... I hate drs! I have gained 4.5 pounds so far and I look ugly, I need to get my hair done and buy some new clothes! I just look sloppy and chunky! Big boobs and a small belly.... It doesnt look like a baby belly yet though. I am always tired, but pretty good otherwise. I want to see or feel my baby so I can know there is really one in there... Hope everyone is feeling good!
Week 15! Sorry week 14... After going to the doctor I found out my due date is May 10 not May 13, so I am all messed up now. Kinda lost most of week 14. I went away for our family reunion this weekend and I had such a good time. I was a bit more crampy than usual. Feeling very bloated lately. The constipation has just begun. I hate it, I feel like my belly can pop sometimes from the bloat. I am in love with the sonogram pics I got last week and I carry one with me at all times. I finally got my hair done and bought my first maternity clothes to go away with. Some very simple but useful things, I feel sooo much better. When I put any of my new clothes on I actually look pregnant, not just fat! I love it! Have my next doctors appointment on December 2. Then I will ask about my next sonogram to see if we can find out the sex before Christmas! Everyone so far has said boy... We will see! Oh and we still have no names yet Justin thinks he is a funny guy and comes up with such random weird names!! My poor child! Daddys crazy! lol..
Week 16! Yipee! I am feeling good. I get really tired and have to rest or automatic major headache! Feel mega bloated some days... Doctor called today I have to call back but I am nervous, Just had the DS test like two weeks ago. They said since it was late it may came back irregular. I am trying to do homework and I just have a huge brain fart!!cant get much done. I started to decorate for Christmas last night. So excited! Well hope all are well, and when I speak to the dr I'll give an update!
Week 17! Wow! I am okay... Major migraines like every night! Now even during the day at times. Cooked my first pot of sauce ever, last night and made meatballs and homeade oatmeal cookies form scratch! I am so proud of myself! Trying to learn how to be a good mama! Still having a really hard time completing my homework! Baby brain!! Ugh! We made a cleaning schedule for the week last night and if I complete all my tasks for a week, Justin has to take me on a date that weekend of my choice! yay! This is going to be so much fun! I seem to never want to leave my house for anything! The whole house is decorated for Christmas and I love it! So happy! I have a drs app tomorrow, and I will then make an app for our next sonogram. I am so happy Justin is going to come to that one and we are going to see if we can find out the sex of the baby. We will ask the tech to write it down and put it in a sealed envelope so we can open it on Christmas morning!! Ohh I can't wait! This is all so exciting! We are now three weeks to half-way! Wow! I need to start decorating and buying baby stuff! Ugh I also need a nap! Right now! I can't too much homework! K, ttyl!! bye-bye

Week 20! Wow! When did that happen?? Well the end of the semester was no fun! I am now 20 weeks and one day! It is two days till Christmas! Yay! We find out what kind of baby we are having on December 30! Wow... I can't wait! Two weeks ago, I went through the fear of something being wrong with the baby due to stupid measurements and them loosing my bloodwork! Yes! Loosing bloodwork... Did you ever hear of such a thing? ugh! Thank God the bloodwork came back negative and we are no longer high risk! Thank goodness! Now we are still going through insurance issues... I just wanna scream! Today I will try to take care of it so I can get some Christmas stuff done! Also I think I have felt my little flutters here and there... Not all the time or everyday but I do feel something in there! I can't wait for it to be stronger, I want Justin to feel it so badly! So far I know I got one A and I didn't recieve my research grade yet... I am a bit nervous! I have been having bad baby brain!

Week 36~ I am sick again!! I can't take it!! I had a stomach virus earlier in the week then on easter I started to feel my sinuses and a soar throat! I have school tonight and a doctors appointment today!! I still havent done my homework and all I do is procrastinate!! I just want to wait for my baby girl, thats it!! My throat is so messed up I have no voice! This weekend is Starpower, regular classes, and Brittany's communion... How am I gonna do it?? Don't think I could if I wasn't 36 weeks prego!! Oh brother!! K, well off to the doctor, dads picking me up cause the car is in the shop!! bye~
Week 21~SO... my dad said he is moving to Vegas! Four grandaughters! and two daughters... Poor guy! lol, it's the first girl and first grandchild for Justin's family so I can't wait to go and tell them the news today! I can't wait to decorate and shop for a girl, I have to admit! I am feeling good, we had a shopping spree at American girl doll in the city, I'll never do that again! I am clostrophobic and pregnant, I wanted to kill someone! lol, The girls had a blast! it was fun...
I have been sneeze and cough peeing in my pants, it is so wonderful! I love it! So Justin is going to have a baby ballerina! Crazy! Oh all of a sudden I am gaining weight at record speed! Wonderful!! Last week I gained 3 pounds so I thought it was water or poop so after I went to the loo I tried again the next day and I was up 3 pounds in a day so 6 in one week! I am a bit scared!
Week 22~ Wowwy! We are getting closer and closer! I am feeling very non-functioning lately! I think I'm fine but I am so exhausted so easily! I have been off for almost two weeks due to the holidays and I don't know how I'm going to get through a day of work at this point! I guess ya just do... Justin and I started painting the babies room yesterday! I was so excited till I realized we needed two coates of white to cover up the ugly pee color that was on the walls before. So we did two white and I just looked in there now and I see still paint lines! We need another freakin coate! ughhh... I can't wait to just start the pink already!! We also have no names, Justin and I can't agree on anything! It is so frustrating and I don't want to just settle. How does anyone choose? I thought it would be so easy, any name I liked was going to be it! He wasn't supposed to have any say! lol! So aside from being tired and sneeze peeing my symptoms are pretty mild at this point. I do get a bit achy here and there and my feet and ankles hurt but nothing too crazy. Oh and I can't get enough chocolate milk! Strange. Yesterday I ate a dish of celery... never really liked celery before so that was a bit odd! At the rate I'm gaining weight I am not complaining about vegies thats for sure!! I am also feeling her move which is wonderful! I just can't wait for Justin to be able to feel her on the outside, whenever I put my hand there though she stops moving, I think! She is her dad's kid already!!
Week 23~ Well we went for a fetal echocardiogram last night. Baby girl's heart rate was 154. They said they could never be too sure but they didn't see any abnormalities on our baby girl's heart. Thank God!! I am so happy and so is Justin. We still don't have a name for our princess and I have now officially gained 15 pounds! Yikes! I hear that from now on all I'm going to do is gain weight!! Uh Oh! I'm very frightened!! I am also having a difficult time sleeping, so uncomfortable!! And I know, it's only going to get worse! The painting is done and Bella was sick all week. She is on anibiotic and an anti-inflamatory she is doing better but she gave us a good scare! The vet didn't really know what it was but she had a fever, thank goodness all her bloodwork came back negative for anything bad. Good week overall! I just brought my pics to the photographer and should have my Thank You's in about two weeks... Very sad it is almost time for me to register for the baby and I didn't even send out Thank You's from the wedding!!! Ugh a bit behind! Lots of drama at the studio as usual and I'm just trying to stay un-stressed. Justin is the best husband in the world and my family is perfect! Have a great week in bumpland!!
Week 26~ So today is the first day in week 26. I feel so huge!! I am feeling my baby move a lot now. I love it! I get very frustrated because people ask me how I feel and when I tell the truth like, tired or big etc... They say "Oh, just wait!" Thats so frustrating, I know its going to get worse but don't ask me how I feel if you don't care about how I feel right now!! I am very tired all the time I havent been working much because there hasn't been very many subbing jobs available since Christmas time. I am going to school full time and teaching dance on Mon, Tues, Sat, and Sun. Then I do drama club at the elementary school on Thursdays so I am busy all the time. During the day I waste so much time it is depressing! Justin hasn't gotten paid in two weeks, so its been a rough stretcn, pray for pay today!! I went shopping with my mom and we picked out some furniture. It is all so pretty but we already painted baby girls room and the furniture I like the best doesnt match!! I think it will look fine but who knows!! We could always repaint but we can only pic out her furniture once... So I think I will go with the furniture I like the best!! Yay!! I can'y wait!!
Week 29~ I can't believe I am at the beginning of week 29!! Yay, 11 weeks to go! I love feeling baby girl move around. I have a hard time breathing especially after I eat. I have to go for my glucose test today and I have a doctors appointment tom. I hope it all starts going fast now, I want to meet my baby girl so badly, what does she look like?? I have had really bad baby brain and forget to call everyone back. Her room is like a big empty shell just waiting! We ordered her crib and dresser, they said 4-10 weeks. I hope it looks nice when put in the room cause there is white paint in the room and the furniture is off-white... I'm sure it will be perfect! I just finished registering, I think! Justin is supposed to bring me to order my chair as soon as we can afford it. We'll see. Maybe I should just add it to my registry for now... Hmm, hope everyone is well!! Good luck and congrats on so many new births!

Week 31~ Okay so baby Alyssa, I think is doing well! I went for a sonogram today and she is measuring two weeks too big! Uh-Oh! He said there is not much I can do about just try to eat a bit more healthy but it may not make a difference. If she gets too big, I may have to get a c-section!! Yuck! I don't want one. She is 4 pounds today and it is March 11, 2009. She is due May 10, 2009 I can't wait! I am so guilty of checking my registry, but I am so excited!! I just can't help it, but I do feel guilty! My groin hurts so bad for the past few weeks and I have blown up major, over the last two weeks! Can't really reach around my belly anymore it is so big, and can't really get up off the floor at dance! lol, they are all still calling her Lucy but I don't know if I should tell anyone her name yet... It is weird but I don't want anyone to give me their opinions...

Week 32~ So it is 3:36 am now and I have been up since 130. My hands are so swollen I think the left one might pop! I am starving but dont wanna eat in the middle of the night! Tom is our last night of lamaze!! I am so proud of Justin, aside from making me laugh so hard i cried, he has been so good about the whole thing. I have gained so much weight, its crazy!!! I want to get my furniture or have a shower in the worst way so I can prepare for baby Alyssa!

Alyssa is measuring 6 pnds 4 oz. Her head is already down and they had to put me upside down to measure her because she is so low... I guess thats good! her heart rate was 155 BPM they said that is healthy, so I am happy!! They said she has really big cheeks and she was sucking on her fingers... She looks so smooshed in there, I need to know what she looks like and who she is!!! My other appointment was not too much fun! I had my first internal and the strept test. ICK! I felt so sore after, and talk about an uncomfortable situation... Had a new doctor for the first time. I also gained 4 more pounds... It is just piling on at this point! Oh geez, What am I going to do?? Anyway they said I am efaced but not yet dialated and my cervix is soft. It is getting close! I think Justin is starting to get a bit nervous... Me too!
