Melissa I am 20 years old almost 21 (October 7th) and im 21 weeks pregnant with a baby girl. She is due December 30th. Me and her father are very excited and cant wait till we can hold little ava. Iv been with my boyfriend for about a year (October 22nd) and we love each other very much. He means the world to me! We have jus started to feel the baby kicking and she’s up all night. Iv gained only ten pounds so far, i love brownies now which is weird because I don’t like chocolate. My poor lovey is going through everything I am I think he's going through this pregnancy with me. Good luck to all you mommy and daddy's to be. 10.22.06 :::::I LOVE:::::::AvaJosephMy famMcdonaldsCoffeeCheesecakeChocolateSportsMusicPuppiesBeing a wifey : September 11th :Im 24 weeks: September 20th: Im 25 weeks:September 26th: Im 26 weeks: October 4th : Im 27 weeks: October 10th : Im 28 weeks : September 11th :Im 24 weeks 2 days today, iv been having a great pregnancy so far.. All iv had is my back hurting and my stomach feels like its stretching but it is. I went to the doctors on the 7th of September and i have gained a total of 24 pounds, omg!! iv never weighed over 100 pounds before, its all baby though. i have no stretch marks witch im so happy about!! i get constantly and im so clumsy. The other day i fell off my bed while trying to get onto it, it was so funny i fell on my butt but my laundry broke my fall. My boyfriend jus looked at me he was so worried, i got onto the bed n said who brought the fat kid lol.i didn’t hurt myself though. My mood swings have been much better!! i rarely cry for no reason anymore but i have my days. My lil one loves to sleep during the day but once i lay down at night she’s up and about, its so cute though. She loves to ball up on my right side it looks so funny i look like i have a deformed belly, if me or Joseph rubs her she moves. It feels like she kicks and punches me at the same time, she makes me laugh so much. I think my lil one knows when i need to use the bathroom she always kicks my bladder and it doesn’t help i need to p every 30 min. I go back to the doctors on the 26th to run more tests. The doctor told me im going to have a great labor which i also think so. I jus cant wait till she’s here. My birthday and me and josephs 1 year is next month im so excited.. Were going to start getting the baby’s room together soon which i cant wait she’s got sooo much stuff its going to look so cute! Well its that time to lay down .. : September 20th: Im 25 weeks 4 days and my back is killing me!! all i want is a massage, like one for 5 hours id be in heaven! so my belly is getting so big that i can barely see my crotch or my feet lol... im starting to get a lil sad cause im getting really big n i don’t like it cause i look fat n iv never weighed more than 100 pounds plus at my boyfriend's nieces birthday party my boyfriend got drunk n called me fat a few times on accident n it hurt my feelings but i know he doesn’t think im fat he knows its cause im pregnant but it jus bothered me cause iv jus been feeling so ugly lately, but i guess its normal. The baby has been kicking a lot lately and its so cute she knows here daddy's voice last night he came home from work n i was laying on the floor, my back hurt, n he came in the room n sat near me to give me a kiss n he kissed my belly n said hi baby n she started kicking me so much like she knew he was talking to her it was so cute it made me want to cry!! its funny but she loves her daddy already any time he touches me or talks she goes nuts i cant wait till she gets to meet him n me. My next appointment is the 26th and im a lil nervous i have to go take that test to see if i have diabetes but that’s not what im nervous about, last time i went to the doctors they told me i gained a total of 24 pounds n im only 6months n three weeks, i know i gained more weight its like i eat everything!! i always having cravings n i cant find anything that’s jus so good so im always eatin..im going to b a heaffer by the time she's here lol.. well I got to go take a shower my back is hurting hopefully the warm water will help.. :September 26th: i went for my diabetes test today, omg did it suck!! poor baby was sooo hyper plus i barely eat anything cause I woke up late n they said I couldn’t eat or drink for a whole hour I jus felt sick the whole time, i couldn’t wait till it was over so I could puke lol, it didn’t taste that bad but it didn’t sit to well in my belly, they weighed me i gained 4 more pounds which isn’t to bad it means i gain a pound a week. the doctor should be calling me soon to let me know how the test went =)... : October 4th : Im 27 weeks and 4 days today....So the doc finally called after almost a week, the test came back fine but i need to take iron pills cause my iron is low =( i hate taking pills yukk, my birthday is in 3 days I cant wait its going to be a fun day im turning 21 which i know is pointless when your pregnant lol, me and my family jus found out some bad news my uncle in Portugal is dieing and my father is leaving on my birthday to go see him b4 he passes iv been having dreams about him lately that he is watching over me, I jus pray to god he isn’t suffering im praying he pulls through but it doesn’t look good, at least hell go to heaven and have his parents with him... =*(... its starting to get hard to sleep now, the baby is getting bigger its crazy how i can feel he limbs and stuff, shes always kickin me in the wrong spot it hurts sumtimes, i jus cant wait till she’s here!! i feel like these next couple of months are going to go by sooo slow it sux but as long as my baby girl comes healthy ill be happy.. : October 9th : So my birthday was 2 days ago =) im finally 21.. kind of pointless though lol.. i jus want my lil girl here already!! : October 10th : Im 28weeks 3 days today, Iv been really tired lately n not being able to sleep to much, my back is always hurting and ava is always moving. i cant believe how fast this has gone by but i wish it was December already!! i cant wait to hold my lil peanut n kiss her. Daddy’s been really good lately i love him to death!! the 7th was my birthday he got me a beautiful necklace he said its from the heart awww it was so cute. It was so cute he woke up early n went downstairs n i stayed in bed for a lil while longer then he came up n said come on lets go have breakfast so when i got downstairs his mom n dad n niece were sitting at the table n his mom hung up a happy birthday sign n put some fake flowers on the table it was cute n we had McDonalds breakfast lol it was really sweet, then we had gone up stairs to lay down for a lil n his sis comes in the room with a bunch of balloons it was cuteee...so i cleaned the room cause Joseph jus throws his clothes around and took a shower n did my hair n layed down with lovey to watch the football game n dozed off for a lil i was pooped lol so Joseph wakes me up n says lets go downstairs so we went i sat down n his brother in law comes out of the bathroom n starts singing happy birthday then his sis comes out of the bathroom with a cake =) i was surprised i didn’t think she was in there lol my face was so red it was nice though, josephs godchild his sisters son started putting his fingers in the frosting n feeding me from his fingers he’s so cute!! but overall we had a really nice day we argued a lil but not really i was jus aggravated cause i was tired n hurting but he understands. We ended up going to Smokey bones cause he’s never been it was nice but it was like we were home all he did was watch the TV n not listen to what i was saying, i was laughing though.. at least he had fun =) our anniversary is the 22nd which i cant wait for!! i donno y its still going to feel the same lol..Joseph works third shift so it sucks cause im away from my family n friends so i really don’t do anything and he gets home at 1 am on the weekdays so we really don’t have time to do much. i really miss my mom, we were supposed to go see my mom n dad Saturday n go to dinner but my dad had to fly to Portugal my uncle had a bad accident n it doesn’t look like he’s going to make it so we had to postpone which is ok i would have been sad if i saw my dad.
