Hello!

8 weeks preggo!I am 23 and this is my second pregnancy. My first pregnancy did not make it, due to a RH- factor. A very hard time for me. Found out three days before my birthday, and three days after my birthday I had surgery.

And I was so overwhelmed with tears, and elated (and terrified!!) to find out I was pregnant again. My fiance, not so much. He's coming more to terms with it, he's not ready for a child he says. And I think once I get further along, and really look pregnant, maybe he will feel better about it. I think his response comes from us losing our first child. He gets excited sometimes, and then he worries the other times. I think it's normal.

But, anyway :) I found this site, and I see a lot of questions I have had, being voiced by other mommies-to-be, and I felt right at home!

15 WEEKS Preggo!

I have been trying for so long to update this...but for some reason I am having troubles. It won't accept the changes.

Hopefully I am not wasting my time on doing this again...just for it not to take.

Anyhow! HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!

I know that everyone has something to look forward to this year.

I have a lot.

A new member to welcome into our house, and new members to welcome into our family.

Darin's cousin Cathryn, found out she's expecting, and she due a month or so after me.

My cousin is due in less than 3 months...I can't wait!

She's having a boy, and it's her first.

CONGRATES!!!!

Darin is looking forward to the arrival of our own baby now, like I said before...he wasn't too into the idea.

And I think it's because the men look at it as a financial addition, and they worry how they are going to manage.

But, we are working it out, and as his family gets more excited about it, so does he.

For Christmas he got the baby a rock band onsie to match a rock shirt he has.

And from the family we got a starter diaper bag, and another from my sister-in-law with the baby bath gear.

From my step-mom I got a baby heartbeat monitor...so I can hear the baby's heartbeat at home.

Unfortunalty, it doesn't work until I am at least 3 months. :(

From his step-sister we got three beautiful baby blankets, and with more to come at my shower later on.

She's making a afghan for the baby, and a co-worker is making a baby hat and blanket for me.

My youngest brother Mark and his family came down for vacation last week, got to see my niece (1 yr) and nephew (5).

And as a added bonus my cousin I haven't seen since 2002. I missed them all so much.

Had a great time.

Had a New Years party, Cathryn and I had virgin Daiquiris, and virgin Jell-O shooters so we didn't feel left out.

But it was interesting watching everyone drink.

LOL

I am so excited!!

I can't wait!!!

After the baby my plans are to go back to school and do Medical Assisting...hopefully we can work it into our finances.

Truly build a stable foundation for our family.

I look up to my older brother and sister-in-law who had my nephew Kyle.

They were having troubles when she was pregnant, the didn't have a place of their own, were living with my dad.

But, after he was born, they got an apartment, and David (brother) got a better job. He's an apprentice, and going to school.

He was asked to help build on the new ride at Busch Gardens (The Griffith) and he will be graduating this year.

My sister in law is going through school to be an RN.

They are buying a house..and I am just so proud of them. I truly look up to them.

I go next week for my appointment..some sites I have read said that I could possibly find out what I am having at 16 wks.

It has to be fate...I will be 16wks, and my appointment is on the 16th. LOL

I'm feeling a girl...although many people are saying boy.

Momma says girl...and momma's gotta be right!!

Cross your fingers for me!!...........................

Monday, January 4

Hey everyone!!! I have been reading up on things for my week in pregnancy, and I thought that I would share something that I have been going through. I have been worrying a lot about my baby. I am getting anxious and it seems like my appointment is never going to get here. And I worry that there is something wrong with my baby because of my last pregnancy. So, anyway, I noticed I don't have to pee as often as I used to , it kind of slacked down for maybe a little while (lol) and I started to… you know me.. panic! So, I was thinking something happened to the baby. So I researched. And found, that the reason for me not going as much (just during the day...at night I am up three times!) is because my bladder has shifted, and there is less pressure on it now.

Whew!

And I also read that about this time is when mothers-to-be start to become anxious and worried that something is wrong with their baby. So that explains all that!! So there's a reason I am not going as much during the day, and why I am scared something is wrong with my bambino.

But, let me explain. My first pregnancy, I wasn't having all these symptoms like I do now. And it was my first pregnancy, so I didn't understand. Now if I had researched like I have now. Then I would have known that there was something amiss. My baby didn't even develop to the term that I was. The baby had been gone for 2 weeks before my body would show the signs of a MS. So when the peeing thing started...I started to worry.

I pray that everything is okay...I am not really scared as much as I am worried. There's a difference. With my last pregnancy, I constantly worried about having a MS. And it ended up happening. So maybe I knew something was wrong? Mothers intuition? But I know that there isn't anything wrong this time.

I quit smoking, I quit drinking, I quit everything bad and I am trying to be healthy. Eat healthy snacks when I want to munch. So WED I will see how much weight I have gained since my last appointment, which was December 12th. So in the last month. My stomach is rounding out a bit, and I defiantly feel pregnant!

Keep your fingers crossed mommies... and hear all about my appointment in two days....feels more like 2 months..lol

CAT is 10 wks preggo!!!......................................

...............Tuesday January 15/08..............................

Something funny....yesterday I had a craving for Italian dressing. yum-yum. So when I went to pay my light bill, I got a small salad. And on the salad bar...was some cut up tomatoes and cucumbers drenched in Italian dressing!!!! yummy....tomatoes and cucumbers are my fav veggies...in Italian dressing to boot! Someone loves me!!!! Got heartburn from hell tho.

So for lunch I ordered a roast beast (<---it's right) hoagie....yum...and had them put a thing of italian dressing on the side... hehehe....have some heartburn medicine tho...TUM TUM TUM TUM TUUUUM!

I am on pins and needles today guys...this worry just won't leave my brain.

I think everything is wrong...and I worried. I was talking to my TL about how worried I was, and I almost started to cry. She calmed me down and was telling me everything is okay. I was like...but I don't look pregnant, my stomach is poking out as much. And she's like everyone is different, every womans body is different. She said to be glad, cause later I will be all stomach. That just adds another worry to my brow, I am not showing like I think I should.

Please someone assure me!! I can't take this worry!!! Cat, I am going to add more grey to my hair..................

...........................

My mood is:

..............................................................................

February 1st

Today is Friday, and I am feeling like I am getting a cold....NOOOO!!!

But it's all good, just get some rest.

So I am 18 weeks and 6 days pregnant.

So what does a pregnant woman need to be doing? Surely not walking 3 miles to get to a phone.

Yup, on my way to work yesterday morning, my truck switched itself into netural in the transmittion.

I almost got re-ended, and I pulled over into the median. Put the truck in reverse, stuck in neutral, put it in drive, same results.

Oh the JOY!!

So, traffic is whizzing by me at about 60 miles an hour on both sides, and I am kicking myself for cursing myself just the day before.

My brother asked why don't I have a cell phone, and I said I don't need one. Just need one to contact Darin in case of an emergancy. That was a smart decision!!!

So I walk 3 miles to 7-11 to use the phone.

The clerk was a b*%&#, I called my house (where thankfully Darin was home from work!)

three times, just getting the machine. Hang up and try again, and the woman is like, it's a business phone only.

So I had to buy something useless to get money off my pay card to get change to use the pay phone.

GRRRR

So we have it towed ( an hour wait in the FREEZING cold), and stressed all day, and finally found a good qoute that we could manage. To save money my honey and his cousin are pulling it and replacing it with a used one. I know that stupid, but they seem to think that it's a part on the transmission that can be replaced for $200, but why do that when we can get a used one with the working part, and store our other transmission in case something goes wrong with the replacement. Besides, pulling $200 from no where was no minor feat. Now we have to stress out until next paydays.

~Oye~

So anyways....

I didn't get to find out what the baby is on my appointment on Jan 3rd, but I did hear the heartbeat again, and that NEVER gets old.

But my next scheduled appointment is a scheduled Ultra-sound...whoo-hoo!!!!

Finally the guessing will be ova, maybe...lol

So 6 more days until I know!!! I am so excited!!!

I am hoping for a princess:

but a prince I will love just as MUCH!

I will try to keep up on this site...sometimes it's hard to tho!

Wish me good luck e'ry one, for a HEALTHY baby

Monday Feb. 4th

Hey youse guys!

Today is a great day...except for the nausea and heart burn, and uncomfortable pants (lol).

My truck still isn't fixed, but hopefully with God willing, it will be today.

I have some EXCITING news!!

I felt baby Sellers kick me Saturday.

I had some pain in my stomach, and my mother said that it could be the baby, and to massage the spot, and it will go away.

So I was lying on my back, massaging the spot, and I stopped for a moment and rested my hand on my stomach for a moment.

And then I felt a JUMP

I was and am so excited! Darin couldn't feel it in time, but I felt it!!!! I can't wait!!!

4days.gif 4 more days image by banshee58

Tuesday

We are down to three more days!! but you know...youse guys have 4 days.

And I was going to say I only have 2 days, but the appointment isn't until 3 in the afternoon, so I have all day to be excited and all day for time to drag. O-well, I will catch some sleep. I really need it too! About to fall asleep, so I am occupying myself with updating my profiel.

I did have a breast feeding class at one, but my truck is still broke (surprise surprise!) and I won't be able to go to it. Darin has a truck, but the exhaust on that thing chokes me to death, so I don't believe we'll be taking that. His mommy will be taking us, and then we get to see what the grandbaby is! Hers so excited!

I am so grateful to have her as my future mother in law. She treats me just like one of her kids (I act like one too) and I am blessed to have her in my life. Darin is so truly blessed to have a mother like his; I wish mine was more like his. But, o-well, it's all good. My mother in law is awesome, and my children are lucky to have her as a grandma. She goes out of her way to help us, and I have no doubt her ability to go further than that for her grandchild. This baby is going to be so spoiled by her. The first one and the most rotten one she'll get.

I love her so very much. Family is so important to me, and I can't believe how lucky I am sometimes to have such great people in my life. God blessed me with these folks, and no matter how hard it gets, I know that I will always have my family to hold me up, to make me keep going. My dad pushes me to always go for the gold, to never give up. Darin's mom believes in dreams for her children, and does everything she can to give them the chance to succeed. Darin and Steven's dream is to make it big in Rock, and Darin is self taught on the guitar. He taught his brother Steven to play, and together they are awesome. It's been cool to watch them get better over the years. Five years ago, they both could barely play, and now they perform at gigs. And Mary is the rock they lean on, the person who believes that they will succeed, and she always is getting them equipment, pushing them when they slow down. She's awesome mommie.

Always there when we need her, always there when we are coasting along. Short on money, she will give her last $5 to you. I love her, she's amazing!!

And my daddy and brother...I don't know how I can live without them. The keep me grounded, and they keep me laughing. My brother and I can talk until the sun comes up, and we've done it more than once. My dad is that no nonsense looking military guy, no one would know that he has a sense of humor. My friends always thought I was lying when I would tell them what my dad did. They were all afraid of him. LoL it was hilarious.

And he need to have patience with me, he was a single father raising three teenage children. And one of them a girl! lol...the things he had to put up with. Laughing girls running up and down the hall, boys calling to flirt with his daughter. Sneaking out, skipping school.

And he did it. He loved us so much he sacrificed everything to have us. Spending money he didn't have to go to Florida to fight for his children, and to finally get them. Working two jobs to make sure we had Christmas. Always sacrificing to give his children what the needed. Although it wasn't always what they wanted. We may not have had name brand things, but at least we had a house, and a dad who loved us enough to give everything he had to keep us.

And now he's enjoying semi-retirement without scrapping together money to get through. He served his country, and he retired snugly. Only to find he couldn't stop working, so he works sub-contracting for the Navy. He married a woman who we all had our ups and downs with, but she is like my father. Sacrificed to give her children what they needed, worked tirelessly to give them a good future. And she loves and accepts us as her own children. And I love her as much as my father. We may have our falling outs, but in the end, she's there for us all...

Not to mention good friends. Those who help out when it’s inconvenient to them. I love my dear friends. Annie and Tamyko...you guys are awesome. Helping a pregnant lady get to work. You love me, you really love me! See guys, they liked me before I was with child!! lol ! Tamyko, or Tamy as we call her, is going to be the God Momma for our dear little angel. She's already named the baby Angel. The first day I found out, she named the baby and knew the sex. It's baby girl Angel...lol

They are awesome...I hate to depend on others for rides and such, but they do it without question, what awesome peoples!! hehehe... I love u guys

Okay that isn't what I came here to say...but I guess that's what's on my mind! lol I actually came to say this:

Monday February 25,2008

So I am a slacker...lol

Sorry! Here is the news:

Still don't have a name tho!

So HELP! Any suggestions...are welcomed

Tuesday, February 26,2008

So I have noticed a pattern now.

Lady bug likes to move around a lot now, and I see that she likes to wake up in the morning when Daddy gets up for work. She stays active all morning while I am at work. It is so cool to feel her bumping around while I work. It's so neat!!!

For the names, we have been through some, but there are always reasons not to name them that.

The first name, and the one that I have been stuck on forever, was Nanci Elizabeth Sellers.

Nanci is named after my grandmother, and Elizabeth after his grandmother.

But Darin decided he didn't want to name his baby girl Nanci. Too old fashioned I guess. But I loved and love my grandmother, she was more like my mother for real. I loved her with my whole being, and she was so kind and generous and such a giving person. I am not saying she was perfect, but that's who I live my life after now. And now I live to be a good mother like she was. She had so much to give, and her love was literally the glue that held the family together. After she passed, fueds broke out, family hated one another, it was a mess. And I realized she was what kept everyone together. And Darin's grandmother reminds me sooooo much of her, I have adopted her as my own grandmother. I would do anything for his grandma. She's so sweet, and I love her smile. It's a REAL smile, a smile that lights up her whole face. I love her so much!

The next name we came up with Natalie Elizabeth Sellers.

The problem with that is my step-sister gave her daughter up for adoption, not because she didn't want her, but because of other complications. And her daughters name is Natalie.

I feel like it would make her ache and make her hurt for her daughter and remind her all the time of her whenever she would be around my daughter.

So I am at a loss.

Hmmm, I like some Kayla, or Kasey. I like Cordelia, but...that really is old fashioned. I DON'T KNOW!!!

My neices name is Micayla, so I don't know if it would confuse them when they get older. Micayla and Kayla.

Alina means beautiful

Keira, Riley, Alanna (means beautiful, dear child) Johanna (gift from God) Madison (strong fighter, gift of God), Abigail (gives joy) Brianna, Christa (servant of Christ), Alonna (Beautiful, dear child) Kasie (alert, vigorous), Caitlan (pure)

Tell me what you think!

Tuesday, March 11,2008

I went for my check up last Wed, and I went in there fully bracing myself to have gained at least 5 or 6 pounds. So when I stepped on the scale, I held my breath in anticipation, and reminded myself I was pregnant. The nurse did the moving on the scale, and I wished time would hurry up and I would already be on the bed listening to my daughters’ heartbeat.

I heard "you lost one", and I had to shake my head. And I echoed her, "I lost one? I lost a pound?" She said yes, and I was SHOCKED! My stomach is totally poked out. My maternity jeans are starting to get tight, and I am now leaning towards non restricting jeans. My work pants are getting tighter and I want to cry. I don't want to buy new clothes just so next month I have to buy more. lol But it's all good. My total weight gain for my pregnancy was 5 pounds. And I lost one...so now 4. And I say it's because my daughter is picky. She likes fruit, so my cravings are healthy. Except last night...I had a craving for some cheese fries. So I went and bought the fries, and made them at home.....yummyyy...man I want some now...lol!

The baby’s HB was 150...but it took a long time before the nurse could keep the heartbeat. And you all now how much of a worry @$$ I am. So I was concerned. Usually it's an in and out deal. They listen to the heartbeat and the count, and go over some things with you. She was like listening for a long time. It was hard for her to distinguish the baby’s heartbeat. So she said she was getting the doctor. The doctor came in a moment later and he listened too. He was near my belly button, and we heard my heartbeat, and then she zoomed by. You heard hers for like 2 or 3 seconds, and she was gone!

she didn't want us to hear her, or touch her. The doctor was saying that she was moving around too much to get a correct count. LOL

So things are going well...getting bigger and everything aggravates me. Darin and I argue over small stuff, and it's me, I don't lie. It is...things bug the crap out of me worse now. lol I will update tomorrow...

BTW...MY TRUCK IS FIXED!!! WHOO-HOO!!!!!

WED March 13, 2007

Just got back from NC, Darin's dad had a procedure done on his heart. Good new is that his heart is undamaged, and his arteries are unclogged. The bad news is, the procedure costs about $7,500.. ouchie!

So my cousin had her baby this morning at 3 something in the morning. She was 9 days over due, and they finally put her into labor. She had been dilated for the last two weeks, but not enough to admit her and put her in labor. She tried to have the baby on my great grandmothers birthday, but she went about 3 hours past it. :( And to top it off, she was having a boy...in the end she had a They named her Cheyenne Leigh, and she was six pounds 3 ounces. Poor baby, she was in labor for almost all day...no epidural or anything. But once she went in to labor labor, it went fast they said. I guess I mean to say she had contractions all day long...but no in labor...I dunno. Anyways Cheyenne has my cousins nose, hair color (black) and eyes (brown). I think she'll be a spitting image of her momma. Cool dude! That means that my little girl will have my hair! That's what I want. I don't want her to have dirty blonde hair (no offence to anyone) but I want her to have the Indian hair. I can't wait to see her!

The baby’s name is going to be Caitlyn Nanci Elizabeth...long name, but I want my grandmothers name in her name. I don't think I will have another girl...so that's what it is. If we have a boy, it will be Aiden Boyd. I don't like Boyd, but that is his dad's middle name..so I don’t mind it so much.

Darin felt the babys heartbeat finally! He said he felt flutters. He doesn't feel her like I do, but at least it's more real to him now. More than just pictures. Got mad heartburn today...so my child may have lots of hair anyways, more laters....

summerisis - Friday, 20 June
Buenos Dias Mamacitas! This is my first update. Exciting! Sierra is officially in her 4th month as of yesterday. She's done some crazy stuff in the past couple of weeks -- rolled over; held her bottle; gone to the movie theater; and sucked her thumb. She went to the doctor's office today for her Polio and Hib vaccinations. No, she didn't cry. Not a peep. I keep telling the doctor that's she not in tune with her body (lol). Unfortunately, she's been very fussy since we got home though. If she's not eating or sleeping, she's crying and needs to be cuddled to relaxed. It's not a fun experience, that's for sure. Well, that's all. I'll post some pictures soon. I took 1200 yesterday so I'm still sorting through them! Take care and rub your bellies and hug your babies for us. Jeni and Sierra
