Hey ya'll =)
I have one son who is 10 and we will have another addition to the family come January. I am scared, nervous, and excited all at once. I wish you all the best and hope we all have healthy pregnancies and babies!! ^_^

I found this on another's page and had to post this:

You were chosen by God...sometimes babies come into the world in ways that we don't expect...But know that God does not make mistakes and HE does everything with a purpose, which includes entrusting us with carrying a life...What a blessing to be chosen to carry a creation from the Lord. It is nothing less than an honor no matter what others say & no matter the situation! God bless you all!!!

07/14-Had my dr appt today and the baby's heartbeat was at 160! =) All is going good with the exception of the occassional nausea. We have the sono scheduled for the 11th next month and I am super excited!!

07/23-Today is not a good day... =( I have a headache, I'm cramping and we got all this rain today and tomorrow (courtesy hurricane Dolly). If I wasn't trying to save up my time for the baby I would go home and lie in bed with a good book. I don't know if me running across the street (cuz it was pouring rain) added to it, but I'm not planning on doing anything else stressful today. ugh wait, I forgot I have a meeting in an hour....sigh...imma take a little break.....

07/30-Another bad day, this one had me go home....=( I was having sharp pains on my right side and they were every 15 minutes making work soo hard to concentrate on. I went home took a tylenol and lied down the rest of the day. The nurse called me at 5 to check up on me and told me to go in tomorrow if it gets worse.

07/31-I woke up today feeling soo much better, mind you I got scared in the middle of the night because I caught myself sleeping on my stomach but woke up feeling ok. Back at work I have soo much paperwork piled up from yesterday-had to rub my ears 'whoo-sah'...lol Still waiting for the baby to move, downing OJ this morning....

08/01-Last night I was listening to the baby on the heartbeat monitor and my son came in the room and asked if he could listen too, so I plugged in the other headphones and he is now convinced that its a boy-lol. He says that there is no way a girl can kick like that, even though I told him girls got kickball so they can kick pretty hard-he still was not budging....hahaha...he is too funny.. =D

08/05-Today is a good day, the baby has been kicking like crazy these last few days and I love it! Being that it has been so long I have been reading a baby book and found that now is the time to increase my calcium intake for the baby to have strong bones//mind you I am not a milk drinker, but I have been sucking it up and drinking 16oz of chocolate milk a morning instead of my orange juice. It has taking my taste buds a minute to adjust, but I gotta do what I gotta do. =/

08/12-Yesterday was my dr visit and sono so I went ahead and took my son with me thinking that he would enjoy it>boy was I wrong. lol..For the appt he was good, didnt really talk to much-got excited when he heard the heartbeat on the monitor, even talked to the dr for a minute. Then we had the sono...lol...he was anxious at first until he found out it was a girl....rotfl..He pouted and even after knowing it was a girl, still tried calling the baby a he..and didnt really look to much at the monitor afterwards-it was sad...lol..Later in the evening we went to a baseball game and I kept asking him what his sister's name was, and he finally seemed to come to. I know he's going to be a good brother (as well as protective) once he is there with her, its just waiting these 5 1/2 months til we get there...lol...
On a funny note, dad works out of town and he called me to find out what we're having (cuz we both preferred a boy) and when I told him he laughed, saying that he just had that feeling; and even said he wore a pink shirt today too, as did I...lol So I am super excited and cant wait until Morah is finally here so I can hold her in my arms!!! ^_^

08/22-Today is a good day, and I love the fact that even when I am unsure how Morah is doing she gives me a friendly kick letting me know she is good. We all have our favorite cd, when mines is Avant and I will play him over and over>well my son calls himself 'tone deaf' with him...lol..well yesterday I was playing my cd and Morah was kicking me, so I told my son that she likes it cuz she was dancing, but he thinks that she was kicking to turn it off....hahaha....only time will tell...=)

08/27-Last night I started my registry and realized that I have alot to buy, especially being that my son will be 10 in 2 weeks...lol...I did find soo much stuff that I loved, so I know imma be broke with this one =) There is just alot to choose from to even know how can I choose...All I can say is that she is so worth it, she is not even here yet and I honestly can not see my life without her!

09/08-Had my dr appt today and glad that I was one of the first one's there cuz even with everything that I had to do I was out pretty quick! =) Everything is going well but because I am feeling a bit of pressure and mild cramping they hooked me up on the monitor, but all looked good. She measured my tummy and dang if I'm not measuring at 26 weeks so she set me up with a sono to verify, but with all of Morah's measurements due date did not change-so I guess my uterus is just really big (which can happen after you already have one baby)! Which makes no different to me because I was able to see my little girl again this time all by myself with no interruptions and I loved every minute of it!!! ^_^

09/12-Well we dodged a bullet here>>Hurricane Ike is moving more north and looks like we are only getting about a 1/2 inch of rain...guess we'll know for sure more by tomorrow when it makes landfall..
Morah is doing good....moving around like she has a playground...lol...I love the feeling, it just gives me the reassurance that she is alright! ^_^ Although she is sitting high and the heartburn is kickin my azz, all I can do is pop tums like its a piece of candy..haha...

09/15-Today is my son's 10th birthday and I am still feeling indifferent since I will be starting all over...haha....I have the excitement there (no doubt about that) and then I have the anxiety.....with the what-if's....Its been soo long I hardly even remember my son soo tiny, but hopefully its like riding a bike and it will come back to me..*sigh* Well I still have a good three months to get my 'mojo' back so time will tell..lol

09/17-Well last night my son brings home his progress report and after convincing his grandfather to take him to dinner I was going through his things and had to put a stop to that. He was soo upset because he was going to be there with all his little friends, but he is failing Science. I requested a parent conference to know how we can fix this. He tells me that it's hard, but I dont understand how what was your favorite subject last year is now your worst.....hmmm...so anyways I was upset with him and his feelings were hurt, so really wasn't surprised when I went to bed and he was in mines....*sigh* I pushed him over and took up a good half of the bed with my pillows...lol..Well in the morning is when Morah is very active (guess she is trying to wake me up) so I woke up my son and put his hand on my tummy and she kicked and turned, he was soo excited-a good way to start the morning! =)

09/21-My son had his b-day party yesterday, and I can honestly say that I am frustrated with his dad to the fullest! First that fool told me that he would help with the party (and never came through) then didnt even bother to show up. It's really sad that my son has to put up with that, but even sadder that Morah's dad asked bout him and he dont even stay here. Its nice to know that at least my daughter's dad cares enough to call and see how things are when my son's aint worth nothing. The only time he calls is on his payday, and if I choose not to answer that day then I wont hear from him for another 2 weeks..ugh, whatever....I'm not stressin over that fool anymore-just wanted to vent..

09/22-I am sooo sleepy today.....*yawn* I woke up at 4 to use the bathroom and darn if I could not go back to sleep til bout 6 and the freakin alarm goes off at 630!! I am convinced its only gonna get worse......But I am in a good mood today, just very tired.....Almost time for my morning walk.....maybe that will give me some needed pep, if not imma have to hit the DP machine =)

09/29-My brother came home this weekend from Iraq and we really did miss him so we threw a lil party for him on Saturday and a huge breakfast for him on Sunday (since he had to leave back to Cali) and he has a 2 month old that I was watching just about all weekend...=) I loved every minute of it....^_^ He was joking with me if I was trying to get practice and I looked at him dead set in his face and told him yes I was and he was like good cuz u need the practice...lol..it was funny to me...But anyways, another week down and I go to the dr next week so I can set up the 3d sono at the end of the month and I am soo anxious!!

09/30-Last night I was lying with my babey and he started snoring, well Ms. Morah did not like it and was kicking and turning all over the place...lol...It was soo cute, I took his hand and put it on my belly so he could feel her and he was amused by it-but that did not stop the snoring...haha..

10/07-Yesterday was my dr appt and I go back in 2 weeks for another along with the glucose test-yuck! However on a good note, I also get my 4d done that week and its gonna be soo precious! I just wish that Tim would be there with me but *sigh* it'll be alright...On another note, my dr told me yesterday that my son would not be able to go with me in the delivery room because she had some bad experiences with children in the room and I do have to say I was a bit hurt by it but can understand her reasoning for it. I was going to wait til later to tell my son but dont like to keep things from him, he took it kinda well and even better when I told him that he dont need to be looking at my stuff....lol...

10/09-I went into the dr's office because for nearly a day I was getting sharp stabbing pains in my lower abdomen so they put me on the monitor for over an hour and even did a sono to make sure that I was not dialating. All was good, just looks like a minor infection so I was relieved. It was funny to me though when they were checking my cervix here is Morah popping her head and waving her hand like "Look at me" it was cute...So she's already head down getting ready-just like her mama!! ^_^

10/27-Well i failed the darn glucose test and am patiently waiting on the dr's office to let me know if I can repeat the same test or if I have to do the 3 hr test...On another note I finally figured out what imma be for Halloween>a treasure troll...lol...Its gonna be soo cute...

11/03-I passed the 3hr test>that was great cuz not eating for that long was torture and would not dare want to do that again. Halloween was a blast, a big ol' treasure troll, it was cute! I had my baby shower on Saturday, and it went soo well-I was really excited. Really have to give me kudos because I planned the entire thing-just assigned people to do their part, and when the shower started I sat down and my best friend took over & she did a great job! Imma go buy her something today cuz it really was a great thing that she did for me =)
