Hi, my name is Melissa and I am 28 years old. I am a recently single mom so to all you single moms out there, "I feel ya!" It's definetly difficult being pregnant and single! I am the mother of one beautiful little boy who is about to be 7 next month. Soooo excited! And, of course, I am pregnant with my second child. I have a belly already. Started showing at a little over 3 months. Weird to me because with my son I didnt show till 6 months so this was an exciting change. My 6 year old is going into 1st grade this year. I am so very proud of him! He was diagnosed with autism at age 2 and has been working / fighting everyday since then to get into a regular school which he has successfully achieved and doing well I might add. He goes to school with a shadow who works with him from the sidelines when he has one of his "behaviors". The shadow will be hopefully fading out this year and then my son will be in a typically developing school all by himself with no shadow and no aid. I am an incredibly proud and blessed mom!

22 weeks now. Boy is time flyin by, but not fast enough! Im goin crazy over here !!!! Baby kicks everyday and that is such an awesome feeling because I was always worried before that she wasnt moving. Now I know shes ok. She always kicks me when I rest my hand or arm on my stomach. Little turd! My stomach doesnt seem like its gettin any bigger than it was a few weeks ago, but I guess I shouldnt really complain bein as though Im sure it will catch up with me soon. My ex and I still arent well, or should I say hes not well LOL Im beginning to realize that it probably wont ever work and thats sad for pretty much everyone involved but cant say that I didnt try!! Anyway, we're more than half way there baby. Lets do this already!!!! Get outta my belly!

30 Weeks!!!! For those of you that dont know, Im extremly tired of being pregnant! Everyone keeps telling me that my belly is small for 30 weeks. The doctor did an ultrasound because she too said that im small but the baby is actually at about the 57 percentile, or was, which makes her perfect in size and thats comforting!! Go for another appointment on Wed. It'd be GREAT if they tested me and found out that I was dialated already LOL. I can dream!!!! My beautiful son is getting very anxious. Keeps asking when she's gonna come out. I think he thought that she was sapposed to pop out a long time ago like a pizza in an oven or somethin. He still loves her though and is still excited. Gives her kisses everyday before he leaves for school. My family, my son and I, are amazing and I know that when the baby gets here it will be just as great!!!! Unfortunetly the baby's dad and I still arent doing well. We've tried so many times, but I just dont know. He actually left this time without saying anything. Thought he was just goin for a walk but he never came back. Nevertheless, I am incredibly lucky for having my children and on an even happier note we should be moving into a 3 bedroom pretty soon. YAY!!!!
