MY NAME IS RACHELLE . IM 22 && CURRENTLY IM PREGNANT WITH MY 2ND BABY. MY FIRST IS AMIYA NIKOLE AND SHE WILL BE 4 THIS JULY. IM WITH THE LOVE OF MY LIFE JOHN ERIC AND I COULDNT BE HAPPIER. WE HAVE KNOWN EACHOTHER SINCE BIRTH AND WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD BE TOGETHER ATLAST AND EXPECTING OUR FIRST BABY TOGETHER. ALTHOUGH AMIYA HAS A DIFFERENT FATHER THAT MEANS NOTHING. ERIC IS MORE OF A FATHER TO HER THAN HER REAL FATHER IS. ERIC ALSO HAS A SON FROM A PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIP THAT HE ISNT ABLE TO SEE. THAT IS VERY HARD FOR HIM TO DEAL WITH. EVEN THOUGH OUR PASTS WERE DIFFICULT WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON AND BE SUCH A HAPPY FAMILY. ALL 3 OF US ARE LEO'S (EVEN THOUGH IT SHOWS AMIYA DIFFERENT) BUT IT LOOKS AS IF OUR LITTLE ONE IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER SIGN! WOOHOO :) ERIC AND I PLAN TO MARRY AFTER THE BABY IS BORN. MY DUE DATE IS JUNE 16TH 2008 AND I WOULD LIKE THE WEDDING TO BE IN 2009 (GIVE ME TIME TO SHAPE UP LOL) IT WILL BE IN THE FALL. WE BOTH AGREED IT SHOULD BE ON THE DAY WE GOT TOGETHER (SEPT 6TH) BUT WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. MY FAMILY = MY LIFE. THEY ARE THE REASON I MAKE IT THROUGH MY WORST DAYS. AS OF NOW I AM A STAY @ HOME MOM. AFTER I HAVE THE BABY IM GOING BACK TO SCHOOL. THIS TIME NOT FOR NURSING. IVE DECIDED TO CHANGE INTO COSMETOLOGY && ESTHETICS. OTHER THAN THAT METEOROLOGY AND PHOTOGRAPHY INTEREST ME ALOT. I LOVE FUZZY THINGS AND BRIGHT COLORS. {{I WEAR MY FUZZY PINK SLIPPERS ALL SUMMER LONG!}} LOL. I LOVE MARGARITAS WITH SUGAR ON THE RIM. I LIKE THE TV SHOW COPS BUT HATE COPS IN REAL LIFE. MAURY IS THE SHIT! LOL CHEATERS AND A HAUNTING IS AWESOME TOO. {{YEA ~> I WATCH SOME TV}} I LOVE MUSIC {{ALL KINDS}} && I DJ ON THE SIDE. FUN FUN FUN. IM OUTGOING AND SOMETIMES IM A REAL PAIN IN THE ASS! BUT IM JUST ME! IM TRUELY BLESSED AND I LOVE MY LIFE ;o)

So i had my ultrasound yesterday {{Jan 18th}} and i found out that i am having a BOY && im still trying to get it to sink in. i had my heart set on having another girl. i wanted another girl so bad i convinced myself i was having one. i was soooo excited to see the baby move and everything and then she said "and heres the testicles and penis" i couldve shit! but my fiance was literally jumping up and down. that ass! lol he was right all along. i just dont see myself having a boy! friends tell me once HE is here im going to feel like thats how its supposed to be {ment to be}}. i just keep thinking as long as hes healthy thats all that matters. and it is. so now i have to find some boy names!!! since im not havin m girl! wish me luck!!! XOXO

SoOoOo ~> ive realized i havent updated this page in quite awhile && i decided to give up a lil info ;o) today i am now 26 wks. woo hoo! lol. next week ill be in my 3rd trimester {{im so excited}} its almost over!! lol. with my first pregnancy everything was easy for me. no morning sickness, didnt catch any colds, my only problem was i gained 80 pds! my lil girl was 8lbs 8ozs and perfect. but this pregnancy is killing me. i had morning sickness that lasted all day everyday until i was about 15 wks, ive been sick 3 times thus far and as of right now im very sick {{cant sleep,throwin up,coughin~> its making me miserable!}}, and as of now im doing ok on the weight if i can sit on it for awhile! ive already gained 38 pds. and im NOT a small woman. {{im 5'11 with size 12 shoes}} so i look good @ about 170 or so. its hard on me to gain all this weight...again! but ok other than that ~> ive accepted that im having a boy ;o) and ive decided to name him Ethan {which means strength} && {{its really the only name i liked that i found somewhat original and that i dont know anyone named that name}} as for a middle name im not sure. Eric wants james {{Ethan James}} but im just not taking to that. im thinking ~>

Ethan Chase

i just dont know. i cant make up my mind. Ethan James looks good but i just dont like the name james. but ok enough of that. HE has been kickin me for AWHILE now. everyday the kicks get harder and harder. i LOVE it. its his way of reminding me "im in here" lol. i cant wait to see him! aww. as for a baby shower. i want one again. i know people that have then with a boy and a girl. im no different. im not going to invite 100 people like last time but maybe like 20 or so. if that. but my mom seems to differ. she wasnt raised to have more than one shower and its stupid and blah blah blah. idk what shes worried about. i thought it would be nice. on another note~> i was itching sooooooo bad everyday for like 3 weeks. it might have been dry skin but damn ive never had it like that before! it was horrible. the only thing that worked was this lavender bath and body oil i bought. {{i LOVE it}} palmers cocoa butter didnt even work. and as far as that goes im 7 months next week and still no stretch marks! woo hoo! i think i have enough from last time!!! but i mean im expecting some. my skin sucks and i know in the 9th month im going to get huge! big o belly. lol. so ill see how the oil just works. so far so good. ok im tired! lol thats about it for now. more info to come ;o) XoXoXo

Yo! umm so here i am @ 31 weeks today! oh exciting! almost there! yay! so everything has been good upto this point. my blood pressure is gettin all crazy high and my ob/gyn is worried i might fall into preeclamsia. i freakin hope not!! so i did a nst {nonstress test} last week && another ultrasound {04*10*08} which is how i got these awesome new pics of my lil man :) and now i have an appointment monday to see how big my lil man actually is. when i was 28 wks he was measuring 30. my stomach is huge. i honestly dont think ill make it to my due date {june 16th}. my shower is April 27th which is comming up fast and i hope everything goes well for that too. but umm as of now im put on bedrest. which sucks b/c now that the weather is somewhat warming up i love to walk and be outside and its going to be hard. especially the bigger i get. and im not bragging b/c i dont want it to change but my weight is so much better this pregnancy. last week i went to my doc and i lost 2 pds. a few weeks before that i lost too. its like i loose i gain i loose i gain. ive already gained like 40 some pounds so im good with this. lol. and so far no stretch marks!!! i started last time @ 5 or 6 months. im praying those stay away too! as for what im doing ~> not a damn thing! lol i love to swim but its still too cold. i love to walk but once again im on bedrest. i basically just sit here on the internet all day. i know lame right? ha. thats why i want to have this lil guy!!! so i can get me back. work out and breathe and sleep on my stomach! geeze i miss that. and lets not forget drinks! i love margaritas with suger on the rim! with a few jager bombs or liquid cocaines. yuuuuum! lol. Ethan get here! lol summer needs to hurry up too. im sick of this weather! xoxo

UmMm yea ok so yesterday was my ob appointment. im 34 wks now and moving right along. i gained 5 pds! errr! but ive been losing weight so i figure its the same deal. gain some lose some. so im not worried. just feeling like a fat ass! lol. so my doc said she thinks i will make it to my due date but if i happen to get to 2 cen and my cervix softens that she wants to induce me. the longer i go the bigger hes gonna get and the harder its going to be on me. shes like "unless you dont want to" im like " no no lets do that! lol" and i started my nst's yesterday. i have to go every week now until delivery. not so bad its just the gas! gas is up to 3.95/ gal. im like whoa! other than that ~> my feet have been swolling {{oh they hurt!}} and my back is still killing me. been feeling my contractions and him moving around like crazy!! oh i cant wait to see him!

~*~ MAY 11th 2008 ~*~

Today is Mothers Day and im sitting here felling like shit! my back hurts soooo bad and im almost to the point where i cant stand it anymore. i do love feeling him inside me kicking and everything but i am miserable! i cant help but wish i would go inot labor this very minute! as of now i am 35 wks and i have 36 days until my due date. that really isnt that long but when the days drag . . . its forever!! i had Amiya @ 39 wks. uh! i hope he doesnt stay in there that long! ive read that if this is your 2nd {or more} that usually you go into labor earlier. that would be sweet if it were true. im kinda scared though . . . about him ripping me like she did. she torn my cervix and although i didt feel anything {epidural . . . thank god for whoever made that drug!} i almost didnt make it. so thats on my mind alot lately too. how could it not be! hes going to be even bigger than her! she was 8lbs 8 ozs and hes supposed to be 9 or 10 easy. uh. hope i can push that out! it took 2 hrs of pushing with her. i just keep praying that my next appointment my ob will be like "umm ok well your 2 cen dialated" oh that would be soooo great.

~*~ MAY 20th 2008 ~*~

SO LAST NIGHT I WOKE UP @ 10 PM WITH SOME MAJOR CONTRACTIONS. HOLY SH!T DID THEY HURT! I TOOK A HOT BATH, TWISTED AND TURNED, AND SWITCHED TO ALL KINDS OF POSITIONS BUT IT DIDNT SEEM TO HELP. I CRIED AND CRIED. I THREW UP AND HAD GAS COME OUT BOTH SIDES. WHEN I BURPED IT TASTED SO DISGUSTING! LIKE EGGS OR SOMETHING. {NO I DIDNT EAT ANY EGGS YESTERDAY!} MY BACK STILL ON FIRE! AFTER 2 1/2 HOURS I CALLED MY DOCTOR. I FELT SOMETHING WASNT RIGHT. HE SAID SOUNDS LIKE CONTRACTIONS BUT NO NEED TO WORRY. SO IM SITTING HERE CRYING MY EYES OUT B/C IT HURTS SO BAD AND HES TELLING ME NOT TO WORRY! WHY COULDNT IT HAVE BEEN THE LADY OB?! ANYWAYS . . . ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER I COULDNT STAND IT ANYMORE AND TOLD MY BOO "LETS GO!" SO WENT WENT TO MCDONALDS GOT SOME ICE TEAS AND HEADED OUT TO THE HOSPITAL. THAT DRIVE SUCKED! I WAS SO UNCOMFORTABLE. BY THE TIME WE GOT TO THE HOSPITAL I WASNT CRYING ANYMORE. I WALKED AROUND FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. THEN WENT TO THE ROOM AND GOT HOOKED UP AND CHECKED. THE NURSE SAID I WASNT DIOLATED BUT I WAS HAVING CONTRACTIONS. "REAL CONTRACTIONS". SO IM HOPING THOSE WILL HAVE MADE MY CERVIX START TO SOFTEN AND EVERYTHING AND TOMORROW WHEN I GOTO MY OB APPOINTMENT SHE WILL TELL ME GOOD NEWS. IM SCARED ABOUT THIS DELIVERY. AFTER LAST NIGHT I FEAR IT WILL BE TONS OF BACK LABOR AND HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE HUGE SO I HONESTLY DONT KNOW IF I CAN PUSH HIM OUT. I DAUGHTER WAS 8LBS 8 OZS AND SHE TORE MY CERVIX WHEN I GAVE BIRTH TO HER. I ALMOST DIED. I CANT DO ALL THAT AGAIN. IM THINKING ABOUT ASKING MY OB ON WEDNESDAY IF THERE IS ANYTHING SHE CAN DO TO MAKE THIS LABOR KICK ITS ASS IN GEAR! BUT YEA OK WE WERE @ THE HOSPITAL FOR AWHILE. I GOT THERE ABOUT 1 AM AND LEFT @ 3AM OR A LITTLE AFTER. CAME HOME AND WENT TO SLEEP! I HAD TO LAY JUST LIKE I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL BED OR I WOULD HURT. OH I WAS MISERABLE! BUT I ACTUALLY SLEPT. IT WAS NICE :) TODAY IM TAKING IT EASY. I PRAY HE COME SOON. REAL SOON.
