Heyyy.. My name is Michelle.. I'm located in South Jersey and guess what... im pregnant :) lol I've decided to put college aside just for a year or two to get my mind straight and make way for baby. However, I do intend to go back and finish! I have a great job at an Animal Hospital working full-time and some!! I love working with animals because I don't have to worry about them talking back. I'm hoping for a girl but will be more than thrilled for a boy also.. just want a healthy baby. Regardless of what the sex is, it's going to be named with a "K". ((Tradition in b/f's family) Girl= Kiera, Boy= NO CLUE!!! suggestions?? My boyfriend Kamren and I are soo excited for our unexpected blessing and couldn't be happier. I just know that God gave us this baby for a reason and everything will work itself out in the end. x0x

November 13th 2007~ found out I was pregnant via Clear Blue Pregnancy test

December 5th 2007~ 8 wks. Went to a free women's clinic to get checked out. Received an US to see my lil peanut lol HB=167. Good blood flow.. cant wait to see my baby again :-) p.s. this baby needs to get off my sciatic nerve!!!

January 7th 2008~ 12 1/2 weeks. Went to my first obgyn visit. Got to see my baby again!! not so little anymore. he/she was moving, flippin, sucking its thumb, etc. It was so0o great. Begged the dr to tell me if it was a boy/girl or not but noo luck there lol. Didnt get to listen to the HB this time but could see it fluttering and she was happy with the progress. My amniotic fluid looked good and the cord looked healthy also. Got some good shots of the baby since it was done internally this time. I have to go for my bloodwork shortly. However, we do get to find out the sex around February 15th.. bout 5 weeks away.. very excited. Kamren and I are supposed to go look @ an apartment on Saturday.. wish us luck!!

January 8th 2008~ went to WIC and saw the nutritionist. She really got on my case since I've gained 8lbs already she's somewhat concerned for me since I should have only gained 3-4lbs by this point. I tried to blame on having a big baby but she said it's too early for it to be so heavy lol. So i have to watch what I eat from now on. But it's so0o hard when everything under the sun looks good as hell lol. I love whole milk and i drink it all day long. Sigh...

January 20th 2008~ 14 1/2 weeks. After speaking with a lot of mommies, the fluttering feeling in my stomach is in fact, Baby K! It started a couple days ago, but I wasn't sold. Now it just keeps happening. And it's actually quite weird, it's in the same spot all the time. I can tell it's not food digesting or any other bodily functions lol. I make Kamren put his hand on my stomach but he thinks only I can feel it from the inside cuz he's having no luck :*( In other good news, we picked out the theme: Jungle adventure!!! it'll work for boy/girl. its so0o cute, see for yourself!!! palm trees, alligators, hippos, lions, & giraffe's..OH MY!!

February 4th, 2008~ 16 3/4 weeks. Had my 2nd doctor's visit and got to hear the HB for the first time in 8 weeks! It dropped 7 beats per minute since last time but it's still really good @ 160!! Glad it's staying at a high normal, hopin for my girl still :-p 11 daysss tile we find out!!!!

March 11th, 2008~ 21 weeks. It's been awhile.. since finding out the babys sex on 2/15.. which is a GIRL!!!!!! (Kiera Makenzie) me and kamren have moved into our own apt. Been pretty busy lately. Kiera is so0o active in my belly I'am gonna miss her being in there. You can definitely tell I'm pregnant now.. how gross i've doubled the avg weight i should be at in the 21st week. Her hb is still in the 150-160's.
