Well..I'm 11 weeks pregnant today 06/20/07.This is my second pregnancy..first ended in miscarriage September 11, 2006.I thought it would take a minute to conceive again since I got straight on Depo Provera the following October.First normal cycle was 04/04/07 and none after that.Went to the clinic cause I had been feeling queasy..only to find out I was 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant.Glad the morning sickness has diminished.

Well I'm 12 weeks and 1 day today.Breasts still sore..still been sneezing since the day I found out.Went for an ultrasound at 7 weeks, 6 days (8 weeks..lol) on June 5.Uterus was too low to hear anything.My doctor's didn't give me a sonogram so I couldn't even look at the baby.It was just a handheld doppler.Hopefully Monday July 2,2007 she's hoping to hear it louder.Couldn't hear anything but little swishy swoshy waves.Just taking it easy these days.Sometimes I have mild back pain at the bottom and my butt gets numb a lot..tmi...

July 2,2007

Just left the clinic with a big smile on my face.Babies heartbeat could be heard loud and clear and it was 136 bpm.I cried and laughed because the doctor couldn't keep up with him on the doppler because she say he moves around a lot.What a heavy burden that's been taking off of my shoulders.I just thank God for my progress because I had a lot of fear about not hearing anything.MY next appointment in July 30,2007.They wanna do an aminocentisis..I think I spelled that right..but I don't want one so I'll pass on it because as long as its healthy and growing then down syndrome isn't an issue for me because i would never terminate my pregnancy.

July 30,2007

Babies heartbeat was 164 bpm today.I think they're going to change my due date because she say I may actually be 15 weeks rather than going on 17 weeks.I'll find all that out on Friday, August 03,2007 when I get my ultrasound.They scheduled my AFP testing til 2 weeks from today.

I have been feeling the little flutters in the bottom of my stomach for the past few days..that and round ligament pains.The flutters are always on the left side and they really do feel like butterflies..it's the most amazing feeling in the world...I have an appointment next week and I'm so excited to see my little bean for the very first time.

August 3,2007

17 weeks 4 days

Found out it's a girl.Technician didn't give me a percentage of how sure..we just didn't see a penis.I was so happy cause that's what we both secretly wanted.Baby looks good..she weighs 7 ounces and looks really good

August 9,2007

18 weeks 3 days

Wow..someone actually noticed I was expecting yesterday.I knew I was showing but I didn't think I was showing that well.My navel has been stuck out for a few weeks now.I can't wait to hold her..so far so good...I read the bible to her everynight and she moves around all day long.

20 weeks, 1 day

Baby is doing well.She's so stubborn..I wanted them to confirm that she's a girl and they showed me her little "tootie"...so..I guess I'll buy pink now.They gave me 8 pictures.One 3d and one really really clear view of her face.I love her so much already.She looks just like her dad already at 10 ounces.

30 weeks...

She's doing really well.Just ten more weeks.She's so beautiful.She weighs 3 pounds 4 ounces.Very stubborn and keeps the hiccups.Her name is Alexis.Her dad is so crazy.I'm starting to feel all the aches and pains of pregnancy but I'm still working right now.Plan to quit in a few weeks.Baby shower in 3 weeks.ITs going by sooo fast but I thank God that she's doing well and I couldn't be happier.

32 weeks

Well..didn't gain any weight in 2 weeks...baby did..mommy didn't..works for me!!LOL!!Anyways..Alexis is doing great.Finally got to see her smile at me.She looks just like me now!!She's so beautiful.I saw her hair and I can't wait to spoil her.I have a baby shower planned in a week.THe time seems to just fly by soooo fast.Especially since I see my doctor every other week.He has a strep b,gonorrhea, and chlmydia and other infections test ready for my 34 week appointment.It's important to get those because you could easily have a bacterial infection and not know it and it can be harmful if the baby passes through the birth canal through bacteria.So far I'm feeling great.I really am enjoying being pregnant and can't wait to meet my sweet baby.I've managed to keep my iron levels normal.Thank goodness.Just 8 more weeks.Everyone has a bet going that I deliver between or on Christmas and New Year's..that would be great!!

37 weeks

Wow..the time is so near!!Alexis will be here soon and mommy and daddy have been waiting for her for so long.As of last week I wasn't dilating yet so hopefully when I go back this coming Thursday..in 2 days..I'll be dilating at least a little bit.I'm so anxious and so happy.I have to go back in and get my test results back though cause of an infection during the beginning of pregnancy and if I need to be treated for anything..I definitely wanna get that out the way before delivery.I'm just so excited right now.Daddy has been doing all he can to make sure we're taken care of for at least the first 3 months until I feel she's ready for daycare.I came 3 days after my mommy's due date so I don't know when I'll be ready.Her little cousin was born December 14th.HEr mommy was due on the 27th so I guess I'm next.Its so exciting being the last one to deliver..lol

December 23, 2007...37 weeks 4 days

I am so ready to see my little snuggly angel.All my tests came back normal but I'm suffering from horrible acne right about now.Just one particular part of my face has broken out really bad.Been that way for almost a week.It comes and goes..I'm hoping it leaves before Christmas morning since I'lll be spending Christmas with my baby daddy's( always wanted to say that..lol) family.It seems to be drying up now.Alexis has been soooo active.I"m only a fingertip dilated..so things are slowly slowly progressing.I'm so ready..I know you girls feel me on that!!LOL!
