IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a new mommy to be and I couldnt be more excited! I suffered a miscarriage in November at 7 weeks, but god blessed me and my bf again with my little pumpkin that is expected to arrive October 22nd. I have a dr's appt June 2nd which will be the U/S that determines the sex...I am crossing my fingers for a little boy, but I can't be too picky!! Time seems to be flying by, I can hardly wait to hold my beautiful baby in my arms!

May 8, 2008

Went to the Dr. to listen to the heartbeat, everything went well thank god! Doc ruled out any down syndrome possibilities from blood work I had done a month prior..I was so happy to hear that! So far everything is going good, have gained 3 lbs in these four months, and it feels like ive gained alot more than that let me tell ya! Maybe towards the end is when it will strike me lol. U/S for boy/girl will be done June 2...crossing my fingers for a lil boy, but whatever god wants to bless me and my huney with will be fine with me = ) Hope everyone is doing great..enjoy the big bellies to come!

JUNE 2, 2008

So I went to the BIG u/s only to be dissapointed lol..baby was moving alot but did not want to uncross those legs! I went again that afternoon to my mom's clinic and same thing happened. Decided to go Thursday because I really wanted to know, and well guess what?? Yes, baby still had legs crossed!! I was so mad I started to cry ..haha..its giving me a hard time already, WOW!

JUNE 12, 2008

Went to my regular dr. appt check up and the doc said everything is going really good. She told me they will try another ultrasound when I am 7 months..I personally dont think I can wait that long to find out what im having!! I want to start buying things now..so I will try to sneak into my mom's clinic sometime next week to try and find out..I pray the lord to atleast let me know that the sex is lol. Baby weighed in at 11 oz at 20 weeks, so everything is fine n dandy! Time is flying by sooo fast I can hardly believe it! My feet are starting to kill me and they seem to get a little swollen at the end of the day, I dont want to find out what they will look like towards the end..ELEPHANT FEET! lol ..

JULY 10, 2008

Had a drs appt. Everything went really well..gained 5 lbs lol but its ok I keep thinking its all water retention because my feet were really swollen when I went to the dr and the nurse saw it lol. Have gained 15 lbs total!! Baby's HB was strong at 160 I have to go back in three weeks to get glucose test done, we will see how that goes, other than that everything was perfect!!

JULY 26, 2008

Finally had my 3/d 4/d u/s done and I fell in love with my little chubby monkey as soon as I saw her..She looks just like daddy and she looks big! Her hands and feet are big lol. For those of you that are having seconds thoughts on getting this u/s done, by all means PLEASE do it! It is sooo much worth the price and the wait, you wont regret it..trust me!

JULY 28, 2008

Had a regular ultrasound done today and everything looked good, now I have to go back thursday the 31st for that yucky glucose test..ehhh..not looking forward to it at ALL. The dr. will tell me then how much by little one weighs..im anxious to know how big she has gotten..until then..later!!

JULY 31, 2008

Went to the dr. to take the glucose test, tasted like fruit punch gatorade..not so bad after all the hype of it being super gross. Im now waiting for a call on the results..kinda nervous about it, but oh well. Dr. measured my belly and still says i measure two weeks ahead, my little piggy is weighing in at 3 lbs at 28 weeks!! Everything is looking good and healthy, so far ive gained one pound this month which is OK with me = ) Counting down the days to see my little bundle of joy!

AUGUST 14, 2008

Went to the dr. today, was worried about what the results for the glucose test were, but LUCKILY I passed! I was afraid of having to take that nasty test again lol. Everything was great, except for the fact that my iron levels were a little low so she told me to take iron pills..i can live with that. My little piggy is measuring one week ahead, and Ive gained one pound again..nurse said i was doing really good with the weight gain..what a relief = ) That puts me at 17 lbs total..woohoo! 10 more weeks till I see my little one..hope everyone is doing well. Gotta go out of town tonight for family emergency ..grandpa is not doing so well so have to go with family to see how he is doing because he may not make it please keep him in your prayers = (

AUGUST 28, 2008

Went to the dr. today and everything was fine, Dr. told me I needed to drink more water..ehhh...Gained 2 lbs and my little sophie is measuring two weeks ahead. Im crossing my fingers to have her a lil early cause im soooo tired. Bought tylenol PM and it worked wonders!!!!!

SEPTEMBER 25, 2008

Had a dr appt today, she did the GBS test, so I wont know the results till my next appt. Everything was good besides the fact that I need to drink more water still ugh. The baby is still head down which is really good. I gained 4 pounds this time and 4 pounds last time putting me at 27 lbs total for now...yikes!! Dr. was working my nerves today and I had to give it to her..she keeps bitching about weight gain which i really dont think its alot..but the b**** keeps insisting that im SUPPOSED to gain 1 freakin pound a week..yeah right! I had to tell her off and told her THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING i can do to control the weight and gave her an ugly look lol. She then said well maybe you need to stop eating alot of sweets and salt and i said I DO NOT EAT THAT all the time!!! Then she proceeded to talk a little nicer and said well maybe its the fluid retention..I said THANK YOU...thats exactly what it is..I mean HELLO cant you tell with my big elephant feet..hahah. Hope everyone is doing good!

Madame Zaritska's reading

Madame Zaritska, our resident clairvoyant, wants to help you prepare for the arrival of your child. Here she does her best to predict certain aspects of your labor and birth experience.

What she senses for you
The day you deliver, outside will be windy. Your baby will arrive in the morning.

After a labor lasting approximately 19 hours, your child, a girl, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 7 pounds, 13 ounces, and will be 20-1/2 inches long. This child will have blue eyes and some very fine hair.

But there is more. I sense that you are in need of distraction. Some enjoyment. Have you thought about belly painting? Take a look.

Here are names I have picked out:

For boy it will be MICHAEL RENE LEBLANC

For girl it will be SOPHIA MARIE LEBLANC
