NOVEMBER 
We were married on Sep. 3rd of 06 and decided to start trying in Nov of 07...since the doctor told us it takes the average couple a good 6 months to conceive...(well it didnt)!I went to Chicago for Thanksgiving and the day I came home my husaband and I had to put our dog to sleep...Jack was very old and had cancer.
We were both soooo devistated! A few days later a realised I was late for my monthly, so I went and picked up a test...took it that day thinking no way...and got a BFP!! Well that turned our frown upside down...:) I told Nathan if our baby is a boy we should name him Jack..but he said no we cant name the baby after our dog...hahahaha
DECEMBER
Called and made my first Drs appointment..but they wont see me until I am at least 8 weeks so it is scheduled for January....Told everyone that we were pregnant already..I couldnt keep a secret that big.
JANUARY
Went to the dr's on the 4th...Oh it was great!! We got a first look at our little baby!! and saw his/her heart beating...Broke down and bought some maternity clothes..Yea!!!! 1st trimester is almost over..With The way I have been feeling this is going to be my only child ( I am never doing this again) LOL!!! :) Next appt Feb 1st!
FEBRUARY
So Far so good...Had my appoinment on the 1st! I gained all of 1 lb which suprises me bc I feel like I have gained about 10 :) My blood pressure was great and 
..awww!!! Next appoinment is set for the 19th ( I will be 16 weeks) and they will do some blood work to check for downs and other disabilities. I hope all goes well!! I am back from that appoinment and since my last one only 3 weeks ago I have gained 7 lbs OMG that was sooo fast!!! My next one is set for March 18, to have a sono I cant wait!!!!
MARCH
I am sooo excited...had the u/s today and found out we are having a boy!! I had drank some caffine before I went and man that little guy was all over the place..LOL We saw the dc right after the scan and he had some bad news....the baby has a small cyst on his brain :( I was soooo scared.! The dc reassured us that it was alright and nothing to stress over since all my test results were fine..and not to mention the baby looked healthy and weighed about 14 ounces...with a heart rate of 151 bpm. He wants to do another u/s at 28 wks to check the cyst, he says it should be gone by then. My blood pressure was a tad bit high ( I think its just bc I was so nervous) and a lost 1 lb...I cant believe it, no weight gain in a whole month??? hmmmm! My next appointment is on April 15! UPDATE: March 24th noticed swelling for the first time...OMG I had cankles...LOL very scary! I researched it online and took the advice to drink lots of water and lay with my feet up on pillows...It WORKED~!! Bad news it also said once you have experienced swelling it comes and goes the rest of the pregnancy...OH NO!!
APRIL
I went for my 24 wk check up today, and found out I have gained a WHOPPING 9LBS since my last visit only 4 weeks ago...which brings my total weight gain to 17 lbs!!I feel like a cow 
I now weigh more than my mom LOL. This month has been an emotional rollercoaster for me...I cryed the other day bc I didnt want to go food shopping hahaha....Next appointment is set for May 13! I will get my sugar test and they will do another u/s to check the babies cyst... I cant wait to see little Nicholas again! I just hope he is still a boy LOL :)
MAY
May 11th the baby had the hiccups for the first time today. May 13,I had my 28 wk Sono and glucose testing this morning! The test wasnt bad, it tasted like fruit punch with loads of sugar. While waiting an hour before having my blood drawn I went across the hall for my ultrasound. Good news the original cyst is gone....but my child has formed a new one on the other side of his brain!! Everything else looked great...he is already in a head down position and is weighing in over 3 lbs...Now I dont feel bad for gaining so much weight LOL..which is now up to 25lbs. He was opening his mouth and swallowing oh how cute!! The sono said he is measuring a due date of late July
I am now getting appointments every 2 weeks...next one is set for May 27th...

I am glad that the cyst is gone, but why in the heck is there a new one?! Gosh he is already 3 pounds! Wow! Have they got you going every 2 weeks yet? I guess that our little ones are head down explains that pressure and all. Late July is awesome! Bet its because he is so big. Haha Ha ha I gained 60 something pounds with Nathan and Nathan weighed 8 pounds 10 oz. He was pretty big himself. Keep me posted on what the Dr. says about that cyst.

i can understand the worry, but on that too, the reason thats a concern is not because he made a fist, but cause then they cant get a view of the hand as most fetuses with trisomy 18 have missing or extra digits, so i wouldnt stress too much,,, stay positive theres probably nothing to worry about....i had a sister born with it too, hence why they sent me to the specialist when they found them in my pregnancies...she died at 2 days when i was 6...but on her ultrasounds they knew it was trisomy because she was missing two fingers had a cleft lip and palate...one kidney, bladder 1/4 the size, a perforated anus, and a HUGE HOLE IN HER HEART among other things...so dont fret, if there was even a big risk, that the baby had it, they wouldve almost certainly caught it by now...

Thats the way I am now. I sit here and watch tv and play on the internet. hehehehe Plus this job isnt stressful. The only time we are busy is on the weekends.
brandy - Monday, 12 May
Hey I didnt actually have it with Nathan, but I was boarderline. I go this friday at 7:30 am to get my 3 hour done. Gosh I wish you luck at your appointment and I pray that the cyst will be gone. Be sure and let me know though. Are you still able to work? Has your Dr. said when you should take leave? My Dr. told me to work as long as I felt like. Wow! Can you believe we only have like 2 and 1/2 months until our due dates!!?? I am getting really excited and really nervous!

Hey you! Hows it going? I had my appointment yesterday, I took the glucose test and failed so now I have to take the 3 hour test. Fun fun.... He said that Shane is head down and weighs 2 1/2 pounds. I go to the Dr. every 2 weeks now instead of every 4. I also had my ultrasound again and he done a 4D! Its so neat! I will put it on my page soon. He was sucking his thumb! Its cute!

Thanks Jennifer! I have felt bubbly sensation since i was 11 weeks but, didn't know if it was my imagination. I had an ultrasound at 13 weeks and it was confirm i was having a boy. OMG.. the ultrasound was so.. funny he was moving so much, me & my husband were surprised to see so much movememt. I guess i've beeen feeling this flutter since early in my pregnancy! Anyways thanks for your response.
I wish you all the best in your pregnancy :)

Hey whats going on? Nothing much here just sitting at work. Nervous as heck about my Dr. appointment tomorrow. Hopefully everything will be fine. Is your Dr. still letting you work? I am going to let mine know tomorrow that I am back at work and see what he says. I have my glucose test tomorrow so that should be fun.

Glad to hear you are having a better week this week. I hope it continues for you.

Typically by week 28 the baby should be head down, but there is still alot of time for it to move into that position, always by week 32 tho. At this point there is still a lil room for baby to move back and forth depending on your posture, how you sleep. To ensure that the baby gets to head down position, get on your hands and kness for at least 10-20 mins a day and always lay on your left side. this ensures the baby will be in the optimal fetal positioning. You should feel your kicks on your right side up under your ribs or just shy of them. I have been doing a lot of reading, I am on my way to becoming a Doula. Google Optimal Feotal Positioning. At least 6 weeks prior to delivery, you should really practice being on your hands and knees, even if you prop your self a lil forward with pillows and watch TV, don't slouch. (that's a hard one for me). The old wives tale is scrub your floors, bathroom tub, whatever, just being in that postion enables baby to be head down and spine out or slightly toward your left side, so when baby drops it is engaged correctly. Sorry if that is to much info, I just get really excited about learning more baby stuff.

I am thinking that Shane is flipped too. I also think the reason that my back has been hurting is because saturday I decided to help put up truck that came in at work. I am going to not mess with truck this weekend.
brandy - Monday, 5 May
Ive been having some cramping myself. I dont know if they are Braxton Hicks or not. I cant remember. I had them with Nathan though. I know exactly what you are talking about with the pressure, mine was pretty bad last night. I was thinking that maybe the baby turned too, but I have no clue. Has your lower back been hurting? Mine got to hurting saturday and still is a little now. I almost feel like I am crazy with all this going on all of a sudden. But we are in the 3rd trimester so maybe its all catching up with is Ha!
brandy - Monday, 5 May
Hows is going? Okay here I guess. Just feeling cruddy, makes me want to cry. My lower back is killing me! Have you had any pressure down there? I have on and off and its making me crazy! I am going to deffinately ask the Dr. about that thursday at my appointment. It kind of scares me. Oh and surprisingly I have now begun to have morning sickness! Ahh!! I though I had missed out on all that! Dang!

Hi, I just read your post on feeling yuck and puffy. If the puffiness is all over and quite bad and if you have gained a lot of weight quickly I would give your HCP a call and mention it. It can be a sign of pre-eclampsia. This is not to scare you but to say better to check it out early and not have it than to do nothing. Hope you are starting to feel better soon.
brandy - Saturday, 3 May
Hey girl! How are you doing? I think I have been okay. Yesterday I think I had some kind of stomach bug which was horrible. I am just now able to eat solid foods again! Haha!
kzbaby - Friday, 2 May
Hi Jennifer! Thanks for your response about the cyst. I read your profile and it sound like we are in the same situation. I am also having a little boy and they will be doing another ultrasound @ 28 weeks to make sure the cyst is gone. Let me know how your ultrasound goes. I am sure everything will be just fine, it is just a scary thought!! Congratulations and good luck!

Hi Jennifer
I agree with you. Out of nowhere I got really sick with nausea and was hurling in the bathroom. My husband freaked out. I am also exhausted, It is driving me nuts!
firsttimemomtobe - Friday, 2 May
Glad to know I'm not the only one who prefers the baby to be cleaned off before tossed onto my chest. I would really like to just have my boyfriend in the room, but my mom really insists to be there. I'm having a hard time with this :-( I know it's my choice, but I don't want to disappoint her either.
brandy - Tuesday, 29 April
Okay that is super freaky!
