Hello!! My name is April and this is my first child. My husband and I are so excited!! We have known eachother for almost 10 years now and just recently got married last April and moved to the Dallas area. We just bought a house and now pregnant! I have always wanted a family, everything just seems to be falling into place. It's great. I would like a little girl and of course he wants a boy, either way we will be very happy though.

Dec. 18th
Now in week 14! The first 3 months were really hard. No more morning (or I should say all day) sickness though. My energy is up again and I feel great! I can't wait to find out if it's a boy or girl. Just a few more weeks till we find out. It will be so much fun buying stuff for the little baby. Still thinking of name ideas, right now I can only think of girl names I really like. :-)

I am feeling great today. It's my day off so running errands is a must. I'm trying to get everything for Christmas ready. I can't beleive it's here!! Time just keeps flying. I'm sure the next 6 months will go by so fast. I hope so. I can't wait to meet my little one. My next Dr. apt is Jan 7th. I am going to find out if it's a little boy or girl. There are so many cute things out there for little girls to buy, but I just want a healthy happy child.

Happy New Year's!!! I can't beleive it's 2008. I have no idea where Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas went. Time is just flying by. Things are going good with little Baby Maszy. I am starting to feel little flutters, it's pretty exciting. My tummy is starting to show. My regular pants don't fit anymore, but that's okay I love my maternity pants. They are so comfy!!!! Next Monday we will find out if we are having a boy or girl. At first I really wanted a girl, but I am just so excited now it really doesn't matter. I can't wait to start decorating the baby room.

We found out today we are having a baby girl!!! Everything looks great. Today we went baby furniture shopping. We found a few things we like. There is so much cute stuff out there. We also went to the mall today and I saw the cuttest little princess baby socks, just had to buy them!

Well up to this point I have gained 5 whole pounds Its feels like more though. So I guess with the average of 25-30 pounds that my Dr. said I should gain, I guess I have 20-30 to go, yikes! I feel good though, I'm starving all the time! I try to snack on healthy things like fruit a lot, instead of munching on potato chips all the time. Sometimes though, ya just have to munch on the chips.

Yesterday Tony and I got our little baby doppler heart monitor in the mail. It's just like the one the Dr. uses. We can listen to her heart beat! It's great!! It kind of sounds like galoping horses. Very cool.

JAN 15, 2008

We ordered the baby furniture! It's great. The crib converts to a toddler bed and then to a full size bed. They had the crib in stock but the dresser & mirror had to be special ordered. Tony put the crib together last night in our room. I love it!! I can't wait till the rest of it gets here. Tony also went and picked out paint swatches. I guess it's time to pick a color. Any suggestions???

Well this week I had the flu. Not fun!!! I started feeling kind of crappy on Monday and just thought, "great bring on the morning sickness again...", but no lucky me it was the flu. Had to stay home from work for 2 days and sit in bed. I'm feeling much better now and back to work. Other than that things are good. I'm feeling her kick and punch now. It kind of stops me in my tracks.

I had my Dr. apointment yesturyday. Everything is going great!!! Babies heart sounds good and I'm growing like I should :-) I've gained about 10lbs or so. Things are looking good. I'm feeling pretty good. I have most of my energy back, which is great! Going to start working out with my trainer this weekend and I start a prenatal yoga class at the hospital at the end of this month. Pretty excited about that, I've never taken yoga. It will be fun to meet more mommies in the area too I think. I do find it hard to sleep sometimes. I woke up this morning at 3 AM and could not go back to sleep for the life of me. I was wide awake. Not so much fun! We decided on a name, Elizabeth Marie. Elizabeth is a famly name on my side that goes back to the 1600's. It's also my mom's name and my great grandmas name. Sometimes little Elizabeth likes to jump up and down on my bladder!!! Yikes!!!

I am moving into my 6th month now, I can't beleive it! It was a pretty busy day for me. Today all the little baby bedding came in the mail. It's so cute!!! We went to Home Depot to get all the paint for the baby room. Going with the Disney Princess Theme, lots of pink and blue. We also got some flowers and pots for outside. I can't wait to have my own flower gardern! Started up some tomato seeds too. Also got a baby swing today too and put that together. I also had my 1st apt. with my personal trainer. I havn't been to the gym for 5 months!!!! She created a whole new "pregnancy" workout for me, it was great. I'm sure I'll be sore tomorrow though. All in all a good day

Feb 21, 2008
I made it to week 24, woo hoo!!! So far I have gained 13lbs and everything seems to be right on track. It's getting hard to sleep at night though. I get excited if I sleep for a whole 3 hrs. before waking up b/c I have to go to the bathroom or my back gets all jacked up. Not to mention I have this really bad cold. I am soooooooo stuffed up!!! That is making it hard to sleep too. I basically have to sleep sitting up so I can breath. I hope it goes away soon!!!

Feb 23, 2008

My cold is gone. Thank god!!!! I can breath. My back hurts though, only on the left side. The only thing that helps is if I sit in a warm bath. YOUCH!!

Feb 28, 2008

Well my cold is gone which is good, but I still feel stuffy. I'm so grumpy all the time and I hate it!!! I just don't want to do anything anymore. Starting to get sleepy again and the left side of my back hurts A LOT!!! Starting to feel big too. It doesnt help that everyone at work keeps telling me how big I am and when I tell them when I'm due there eyes bug out of their head. One guy at work keeps telling me my face is filling out. Well thanks!!! ??? The moron, I dont want to hear that stuff. On a good side, I do feel Elizabeth kick and punch more now. She was kicking up a storm last night, I loved it!!! It's a good feeling to know she's growing strong in my belly. Next week is my next Dr. apt.

March 13, 2008

Wow 3 months to go! So exciting!! I had my glucose test last week. Wasn't bad. It tasted like fruit punch Gatorade. So we'll see what the results are. Getting tired and feeling big! 3 more months I can make it!
