Hello, My name is Mercedes, my husband's name is Roger and I have 3 beautiful kids(9,7 and 6). I am pregnant again with #4 and we are so happy. I found out the day before my period was due, it was a suprise for us because I was in treatment for endometriosis, ovarian cyst and fibroids, so DR said it was going to be very hard for me to conceive and she started me on Clomid and on my second cycle I conceived. I say this is my miracle baby. Well I can't wait to see if the baby's a she or he. We really want a baby boy but if it's a girl we'll love her as much. I thought I was going to misscarry due to cramps and spotting in my 5th week. I spotted sinece my 5th week till my 8th week, very scary. I thought I was losing my baby but Thank God the spotting stopped and we got to hear the heartbeat. Now I'm 13.4 weeks and feeling alot better. I'll keep you updated.

Hi!!! I've been very emotional lately, I get really mad sometimes for things that I shouldn't bother me and try to calm down but it's just unbearable.

Hello ladies, yesterday I went to my appointment with my Dr. and everythings going ok, I lost 2 lbs. but thats because I started to drink water (I don't like water) and have been feeling less hungry, I've been having some contractions but they are very irregular. Dr. said if I get atleast 4 in an hour to go to the ER atleast until my 37th week. Well thats all for now, God Bless all of you!

12/14/2007

Hello, how ya doing? Well I'm already 35 weeks and soon gonna meet my babygirl, just a few more weeks. Well today I woke up with this mad heartburn. Anybody have any ideas how to get rid of them? Tums really not doing anything for me.Sleeping has been almost impossible but atleast when I'm awake at night she starts moving around and I start playing with my belly and she kicks back. Not everything is negative, lol. Well got my next app. on Tuesday the 18, they said they was gonna check me that day. Well hope all you ladies are having a happy pregnancy.

Hey how you doing? I went to the Dr today and I'm 1½ cm already and she felt my babygirl's head. I am so excited, times getting near. I'm so excited I have been smiling and laughing since I came out of the appointment. I felt like this pain and pressure on Sunday at church and I think she had dropped and she surely did. Now we just wait and after my 37th week I'll start walking more.

1/5/2008

Hey how ya doing? Well I've been in pain for the last 2 days, I lost my mucus plug yesterday and today I started spotting (pinkinsh/brown) and I'm starting to get these back pains and period like pain. I'm just waiting till my water breaks to go to the hospital. I was counting how often I was feeling these pains and they're between 5 to 10 minutes so I'm thinking I'm close to labor and who knowa if I'm already starting. Well I'll keep ya updated maybe Nicole's gonna be here sooner.

A Newborns Conversation with God

A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth
Tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and
Helpless?"
God said,
"Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
The child further inquired,
"But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing
And smile to be happy."
God said,
"Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you.
And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."
Again the child asked,
"And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me
If I don't know the language?"
God said,
"Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you
Will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will
Teach you how to speak."
And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
God said,
"Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how
To pray."
"Who will protect me?"
God said,
"Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."
But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
God said,
"Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the
Way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from
Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to
Leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
God said,
"You will simply call her, "Mom."
