My name is Amanda and I gave birth to Rebekah Nichole on December 28, 2007. I followed my pregnancy with this site but never became a V.I.P. member. I wish I had because I feel like I know many of you that were due around my due date. I enjoyed reading your pages and comments throughout my pregnancy and cried each time I discovered one of you had given birth. Most of the time I felt like you were the only people who understood everything I was feeling, especially those last few weeks when time seemed to stand still and the waiting carried on forever. Rebekah's birth story is on her own page along with several of my favorite pictures. I would love for you to check it out!

God has blessed us so much and I am very excited to share that I am expecting another baby on January 21, 2009! It will be much more fun to follow along with everyone now that I'm officially a member. I really hope to make some new friendships as I share my little bundles of joy with all of you. Please drop me a message and I will be sure to reply!

Our first few moments together with our tiny baby girl!

Grammy makes a visit!

Spending some time with Grandma D and Grandpa S!

Can you tell I LOVE being a mama?

My sweet husband, Kevin I love him so much!

I just LOVE watching my husband play with his baby girl! She smiles at his beard and enjoys hearing his voice when he talks specifically to her. It melts my heart to see how much he loves her. I am so thankful to God for giving him these joyful moments and I hope and pray my husband will have many more babies to love!

Our first professional family photos! We love how they turned out...even though Bekah was cranky the whole time! Thank God for patient photographers!

Just a few quiet moments with our beautiful sweetheart!

My big girl finally fits in her cloth diapers! Yay! Talk about a HUGE money saver! I'm so glad they finally fit!

Isn't this the cutest picture of love? It makes my heart melt into a huge puddle on the floor!

Is this bow big enough?

Hay Manda,
I didn't expect to see you on this weekend. I had a really rough night last night, I swear we must be in one another thoughts or something. I was up several times just trying to pee and then get half way comfortable. It's become impossible and it's crazy because I'm ONLY 6 weeks. Imagine the months to come..ugh..I know it is ALL worth it but it's hard going through it.
My Mother is getting our back porch redone, this is something that should have taken not more than 2 weeks but because she hired her boss (who does it on the side) it's taking MONTHS. They haven't been here in like 3 weeks and then show up at 7:30 am this Sunday morning. Talk about pissed. You don't even know the half of what I've gone through already with this "porch" situation but this just tops it off. Jason and I both didn't sleep well last night and then this.
I tried getting up becuase they were banging and making too much noise which also woke the boys up by 8:00. So then I tried going back to sleep but it was usless. I mustered up enough energy to cut Justen (6 year old) hair and give him a bath. Then I took a shower and I'm DONE for the day. I'm extremely tired and just feel like CRAP.
This idiots working on the porch left our back door open for flies to come in and the air conditioner to blow right out the door. So disrespectful and my Mother is just SO thankful that they showed up. PLEASE!!!!! I could write a novel on all the crap at my house, the bottom line is that we need to move but just can't. Not only could we not afford to live anywhere else, but my Mother couldn't afford the house on her own.
I pray all the time becuase I love my Mom but she just doesn't see any of the things she does as disrespectful. AND there are lots of issues with my odler son, she thinks he is hers. Always taking him everywhere and spoils him more than any of the other grandkids. Makes it really hard on Justen too.
Ok..I'm sorry to go on and on I'm really tired and frustrated.
I hope you had a better night than me and give that little one hugs and kissed. TTYL..Tina

I really really hope you get this, I was on my way to bed but I had to go to the toilet, well I wiped and there was pink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok so now I really have my hopes up!!!!!!!!!! pray pray pray pray!!!!!!!!!

Love you all xoxoxox

lindyloo - Sunday, 1 June
Oh yuck your weather sounds horrible and scary!!!! What's a storm shelter????

I think I will test on Thursday, to nervous to test before that!!! hehehehehe.

Well I hope the weather gets better over there, I'll write more tomorrow.

Kisses

I can't believe you've never had lamb before.......it's delicious...it's so soft that it just falls apart in your mouth, hhhhmmmmm yuuuuummmmm!!!!

LMAO about the 'girls' hahahahahahaha, I was just saying to Mick yesterday that if I didn't have my reduction a few years ago they would be down to my knees!!!!! They were huge!!!!!

I see you did a 'Linda' staying up that late, hehehehehe, I stayed up late watching a movie to, but Mick already said that he was going to get up with Ally in the morning so I didn't mind staying up past my bed time, hehehehe.

You're right I think I might have to kick Celine Dion cd and all the other soppy stuff while I'm going through this stage, hehehehe.

I'm trying really hard to stay strong at the moment and not go into Ally's room to wrap her, I want her to try and fall asleep without it but I'm sure I'll give in in a minute!!!!!

So how many days before AF was due did you test???? I don't want to test to early but I just want to know if I am or I'm not. Still super crampy of and felt a bit queezy while eating this morning....but at the same time I know my head and body know how to play tricks on me!!!! hehehehehe

Oh I give in I'm going to wrap her!!!!!

Ok much better now!!!! I know I know I'm weak!!! I don't think this girl will ever go to sleep unless she's wrapped, well I know with the next one I will wrap but leave the hands free, that way he/she won't need to be wrapped for so long.

Well I'm off to check facebook now, hehehehe

Hugs and Kisses to everyone xoxoxox

Congrats to you too!!!! I have my first US on Wednesday!!!!!

kmoore - Saturday, 31 May
Well, I couldn't take the wondering, peed on a stick this morning and it said I wasn't pregnant, but of course I'm not convinced yet b/c still no period....since April that is just nuts, I wish I could just enjoy it instead of constantly wondering why. So I'm sure I will continue to waste money on tests each week until I get my period or a positive, what else is there to do? :)
Any new pregnancy symptoms yet? I always find it interesting how different everyones body reacts, I'm sure breastfeeding is more painful now, I never thought of that. How is Bekah doing with it today? They say that your hormone changes make it taste different, maybe thats what her deal was.
Laney is actually napping good again today, of course she is in the swing, but I'll take what I can get. She is usually very ready for bed by 8, sometimes she is in bed by 7:30. It is so nice out today we have been outside quite a bit, that always tuckers her out more too. I need to find a good bug repellent for babies, stupid knats ruin the fun. Anyways, you and your two little ones take care!

Tastiecake731 - Saturday, 31 May
Hey Amanda,
Boy what a day it was. I slept a little better last night, but still up all night peeing.
I am going through so many emotions right, I'm tired, excited,anxious, happy, depressed...all these things. I'm happy and can be a little more relaxed that we saw a heartbeat but I still don't feel like we are in the CLEAR so to say.
I know I have to trust in God and let him take care of us.
Jason did make it to his appointment, because I FORCED him too and he also got good news. His doctor seems to think he can go back to work eventually once he goes through a pain management program. I'm praying he can just FEEL better. He is on pain meds all the time and he is only 36 years old, so it's not like he's up there in age.
He does have degenerative disc disease but his life should not be over now.
I pray that he will get better.
That car story I told you about was almost 7 years ago, and I'm so glad we don't have to deal with that now.
I'll be praying that your car will hold up for you once you get the water pump fixed. That's the last thing you need to worry about with a little one at home and one on the way.
We have to go to my oldests soccer tournament today and probably try to get the house half way clean at some point.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend and I'll catch you on Monday.... hugs and smooches Tina =0)
2 years ago we actually drove to St. Louis Missouri... we should've stopped and visited..he he

TexasMommyWannaBe - Saturday, 31 May
Hey Amanda! Just wanted to check in and see how you are feeling. I'm doing well; just started the TWW; it will go by fast I'm sure....yah right !! ;) Hope you are feeling great. I just love your page; I have a favorite pic of you and Rebekah - it's under the black and white slideshow and she is smiling so big and so are you!! Just gorgeous!!!!! Take care, sweetie.

lindyloo - Saturday, 31 May
Ok so I still have the cramping but here's something new that started yesterday.....I have been super teary, like just know when I read your message where you wrote 'you will have a new baby in there right now' made me bawl my eyes out!!! what the heck is that about???? probably doesn't help that Celine Dion is playing in the background, hehehehehehe, and yesterday I was reading someone else's page about how her baby died and she still had to go through labor, well I just couldn't seem to pull myself together!!!! hhhmmmmm I really hope I am, it's weird but I'm not overly anxious about it I kind of have quite a peaceful feeling inside.

Well Ally was pretty good last night, I still had to get a few times but not as much as usual!!!!

They say that your breast milk can start to taste quite salty during pregnancy, maybe that's it.

I went through a week with Ally where she didn't really want her milk she just wanted water!!!! She had custard with apples mixed in for dinner last night, I tasted it, it was pretty yummy, she thought so to!!!!

Oh yeah I plan on testing next Friday morning, I think AF is due then or Saturday, Well I will try and wait that long hehehehe.

Ok so the way I look at it is if your friend is moving into YOUR house then why should you have to wear a bra??? hahahahaha, I mean no one's forcing him to move in with a braless woman and her family!!!! hahahahahaha

Crap Celine has me in tears again!!!!!

Oh I made a delicious roast lamb last night, mmmmmmmm I'm hungry just thinking about it!!!!

Well it's lunch time here and I'm still not dressed.....probably because I slept until 10.30am, aaahhhh I love Michael, hehehehehe

Ok well I know what your weekends are like so make sure you still make time to rest!!!! I will write more later and over the weekend.

Love you all lots!!!!
Aunty Linda xoxoxox

PS: I think it might be time to turn Celine off now!!!! hehehehe

Tastiecake731 - Friday, 30 May
Hey Amanda!!!!! What a day, you know you are the first one I HAD to write. It's like 4:30 and we just got home from an entire day at the doctors offices. First thing this morning we went to the OB and that damn head nurse could NOT FIND a sac or anything. I told her was saw a sac on the 20 and she was WRONG. So then she was going to send me for an emergency sono but I insisted on going to the same place I went to get my other one done. So I called them and got a 2:30 apt today. In the meantime it was off to my husband's surgines office for his back. VERY STRESSFUL day to say the least. My husband has been acting like a jerk, like he is pregnant more than me. He wasn't even going to keep his back appointment (we've been waiting on for like 3 months) becuase of what happened at the OB office.
So now I was frantic thinking there is no baby.
Got to the appointment at 2:30 and the tech said she saw the sac but no fetal pole. =0( I was ready to just crawl in a hole and die. THEN ...she repositioned and found my little BEAN!!!!!!! THEN she found a heartbeat...146 beats a minute. Strong little bugger =0) So after all the stresses today I'm just ready to put my feet up and try to RELAX and destress. I'm so thankful for everyone prayers and I know HE was listening. Going the entire day thinking I'm not pregnant or I miscarried again was AWFUL.
Now I just have to keep faith and pray that things will go according to scheduled. They do have me as 6 weeks and 3 days with a due date of Jan 20.
I will write more in a bit, maybe I can get in a cat nap. Hugs and smooches, Tina

Beth-Ann - Friday, 30 May
well... I was in the hospital twice in the past week for my fibroid.. finally they gave me a perscription for an anti inflamatory for it. So painful!! hopefully this will help. Today Im feeling grand!! lol. much better. How are you feeling? How far along are you?

kmoore - Friday, 30 May
First I have to say you should be very proud of yourself, you are so dedicated with the breastfeeding! It takes so much more work than most people think, that is awesome that you are still going even while pregnant! I'm still a little sad about my decision and now I have a blocked duct, but the doc thinks it should clear itself up. Laney is doing very well, she still goes to bed at 8 and gets up to eat anywhere from 5-7 and gets up for the day at 7. So she is doing really well, especially those wonderful days where she doesn't get up until 7:00 to eat :) Her napping is still pretty sad, although she has been out for an hour now so I'm pretty pumped about that! No word on my possible pregnancy yet, I just hate to waste the tests, I spent so much money on them when we were trying with Laney. I'm going to test at the end of next week, we are going on a little mini vacation with friends so I want to know if I can have a couple drinks or not :) I'll test sooner if I seem to get any other symptoms of pregnancy. Glad to hear yours is going well so far, are you guys hoping for a girl or boy? How many kids do you want? I think two is a good number, but possibly three (my hubby wants three or four) . And yes, we would be very happy if that happened earlier than we planned. Anywho, good to hear from ya! Take care~

Belle-Neely - Friday, 30 May
Man oh man, sorry it takes me so long to respond...things are REALLY good! We got two sets of strollers and carseats, ones I bought and then we got this graco set from family at my shower, and I have to tell you, I LOVE the graco set x10, its so pretty and girly, and she looks so cute in it, and I love the stroller too!

Tastiecake731 - Friday, 30 May
Just a quickie..on my way to the doc..keep me in your prayers! I'm nervous and excited all in one.
Hey how do you use your smilies in your messages? I'll write you more when I get back. Smooches..Tina

lindyloo - Friday, 30 May
Hehehehehehe I could tell her the boogie man was coming to get her and she would still be a little rat!!!!

Well I had a nice day today my Aunty made scones and we had them with jam and cream (I think you call jam, jelly) Can you tell I watch a lot of American tv??? hehehehe.

I seem to have a bit of a sore throat at the moment but it's more towards the roof of my mouth if that makes sense, weird, so annoying!!!

MMMMMMMMM I could go some more pizza!!!!!! You know I JUST ATE 3 SCONES (Yes I know I contained myself) hehehehe, anyway I'm still starving!!!!! Yep yep could really go for more pizza, luckily there's none left, lol.

Wow Kevin's going to be working some looong hours, I to would be bored with Mick out of the house for that long!!!!! You should tell your friend to come to your house instead, at least you won't be so bored!!!

It's so cute that you noticed the bean was in the way of the laptop, hehehehehehe, and you're right it is amazing how quickly we forget!!!!!

Ally's had water from birth, she loves it!!! But I want her to try and learn to hold and drink from a sippy cup, feeding would be so much easier if she would hold her own bottle, she does try but can only manage a few seconds.

Anyway like I said I'm starving so I'm off to stuff my face!!! lol.

Kisses and cuddles from your 2 favorite Aussies

Hey Amanda,
Boy do I feel like a whale today. If I don't stop being constipated I'm going to explode. I will go eventually but only feel good for a few hours then it starts all over again. Oh..the joys of mommiehood! I'm feeling fluttering in my stomach but I know it's just gas with how my stomach is so upset. I can't wait for the baby flutters. Ever since my second son I'm very in tune now with all the bubbles, girggles and flutters. I tell you get an upset stomach and you FEEL like there's a baby jumping around in there. LOL
I tried to email you yesterday but the system was down. Today we spent most of the day visiting Jason's Mom she is in a rehab/nursing home to try to get well. She has been sick for some time and it's hard for her to even get out of the bed. I just feel so bad at times becuase there is nothing we can do but pray for her. We go visit and that brings her spirits up but sometimes I think she has just given up on life. She has congestive heart failure, diabetes and other health issues going on.
She still has her sense of humor though and I love her dearly. With all that she is going through she still listens to us and is empathetic to what is going on. I was talking to her crying today. Something I can't seem to do with my very own Mom and we live with her.
I was also very emotional at the nursing home becuase there are so many there that are just old sick and alone. I heart just bleeds for them. I was also having a very hard time being there due to smells. MAN O MAN..you know how we have super power noses now. The smells were making me ILL.
I'll pray for you all with your car issues, I truly know how that can be. Feels like everything is falling apart at once. When I was ready to give birth to Justen my 6 year old, Jason's car broke down completely and then to top it off, I found out he didn't have his liscence. How is that for a kicker. This was before we were married. Unresponsible MEN...he had a suspended liscence and then got a new ID card that looks just like a liscence and I never questioned him over it. Come to find out he had a suspended liscence due to a few bad checks that totaled over 500 dollars. So not only was the car an issue but he couldn't get his liscence until those check were paid for. God worked it all out for us but imagine all of that happening in the 8th month of pregnancy. I was terribly upset to say the least.
Now that I have put all of my fears in Gods hands things are much better. I'm not saying I don't worry about things it's just easier to let him handle things. If I didn't trust in him I don't know what I'd do.
Well, I'm sorry I've written yet another novel. I am so anxiously awaiting my sono tomorrow, pray that their system shows a bean and heartbeat. I'm just worried that their machine is so old it won't pick it up. Talk to you toomorrow..hugs and smooches..Tina

lindyloo - Friday, 30 May
Trust me you don't have more stretch marks than me, my tummy looks like a road map!!!!! lol.

I know what it's like when you write a long reply and then for some reason it stuffs up, like when I push the wrong button by accident!!!! So annoying!!!!!

I'll pray that your car situation will work out, I'm sure it will.....remember God's at work here.

You think you were up early.....I once again did the 3, 4, 420, 5, 545, 630, 7, and then up at 730am!!!!

Well I got Ally's name tattooed on me yesterday, haven't had one for a while so it was a little shock to the system when it first began, hehehehe.

I have another busy day ahead of me today, I have to go to a certain shop, it's about a 35min drive away, then we're visiting my Aunty and then I have to go to my parents and drop some stuff off.

Oh I forgot to ask you yesterday.....when are you going to start giving Bekah a sippy cup to practice with???? I got Ally these sippy lid things that fit on her Avent bottles, I think I might give her a go today.

Have you started to have any cravings yet??? I had a craving for pizza last night so thats what I had, hehehehe, Once I'm pregnant again I'm going to really TRY and control myself, remember I did say 'TRY' hehehehehehe.

I'm trying not to get to excited about the cramping as I had that last month to, but the buzzing feeling is new, hehehehe.

I have such a craving for cake at the moment, something like a black forest!!!!!! Ok I think I should stop thinking about food, hehehehehe.

Well I'm off to start my day, I'll write more later when I get home and if Mick isn't hogging the computer!!!!

Love you all xoxox

I was planning to name our baby Abigail if she were a girl....turns out she's a he....
But our Abby was going to be Abigael with two little dots over the e to make it bilingual.

lindyloo - Thursday, 29 May
Wow 9.40, what the heck are you feeding that girl......sleeping beans???? Well if you are why haven't you given any to me??? hahahahahaha. Well I did the usual put in paci job at 3am, 5am, 6.30am and then Mick got her up at 7.30am, little rat bag!!!!

It costs us about $80 or so to fill up (remember thats a lot less in your money) but it's still a horrible amount to have to take out of the budget!!!

Well still no bleeding gums but I had the worst cramps for about half an hour this morning, and last night I could feel this buzzing type feeling low down in my tummy hhhmmmmm is my mind playing trick on me again??? I sure hope not!!!!

I used to like my 'do nothing' days but now that Ally's a little bigger I just love getting out and doing things, even if it's just a walk around the shops.

Well I need to go and get ready, we're going to go out once Ally gets up from her nap. I'll write more when I get home......you should still be awake around that time, lol.

Love #1 Aunty xoxox

RDmomtobe - Thursday, 29 May
Mine is the 13th, they were very friendly already. Big change from where we'd been going. Our doc told us not to get excited and not to tell anyone and I just don't think because I've had one miscarriage that means I'm going to continue to have them and not be able to enjoy pregnancy so I'm looking forward to seeing her. Is the 12th your first appt or have you already had one?

pargy - Wednesday, 28 May
Hey, Thanks for your message about birthing naturally. I am very passionate about it. I have been reading books, doing positive affirmations, and visualizations for my birthing experience. The only thing at this point that would prevent the natural birth is that if there was some kind of medical necessity, but I am thinking positive because so far things in the pregnancy have been totally normal.

I agree with you about it being better for the baby as well. Natural babies are born totally awake and alert. I believe drug free is better for them in the long run as well.

RDmomtobe - Wednesday, 28 May
Wanted to let you know we changed dr's today. Lacy couldn't fit me in, but Fogarty got us right in so we'll see her mid-June. Thanks for the referral. Hope you are doing well.

diamondjadeandbean - Wednesday, 28 May
Yup 2 little ones in there! But one sac was smaller than the other, and he couldn't pic up an embryo. But he barely found the embryo in the bigger sac. So one may not be viable, but I'm hoping everything turns out ok. I"m prepared though for only one being there at my next u/s. It sounds sad, but I'm trying to just take it a day at a time. I'm sooo excited though!!!!

lindyloo - Wednesday, 28 May
Well I'm just about to go to bed but I did say that I would write more tonight so here I am!!! hehehehehe.

I had a fairly busy day....I had to go over to my parents house because I sold one of our cars and the guy was coming to pick it up (it's at Mum and Dad's).

All I can see in Ally's mouth is this little white dot, so it's just coming through, so cute!!

Good to hear you're feeling more pregnant, I'll ask you how you're feeling at 40 weeks and I'll see what sort of reply I'll get, hahahahaha.

I know STUPID PACI!!!! I even had to pull over in the car today to put it back in her mouth, I think she just gets a little more upset now because of her tooth, well that's what I hope it is, hehehehe.

It's starting to get cold here......I do like the warmer weather better but the cooler weather is easier on Ally's sleeping.

We're having the house sprayed tomorrow, I really don't like spiders and creepy crawlies, so yucky and scary!!!!

So tomorrow is day 5 or 6dpo, I'm keeping an eye out for implantation bleeding which I had 8dpo with Ally and bleeding gums after brushing, I know I may not get either of these but I figure it would be a pretty positive sign if I did.

I have brain block again!!!

Oh yeah I forgot to tell you.....Michael is going back to work in 3 weeks just for 2 half days a week for a month, but they organized him to do his work from a station 5 mins up the road from us, he would normally have to drive 45 mins to get to his work, and we're praying that once he's confirmed in July that they will keep him on there, it would be so great if they did, he would only be 5 mins up the road so I could drive him to work quite easily if I needed the car, not to mention the saving we would make on gas!!!! The cost just keeps going up here!!!

Anyway it's bed time for me, I'll write more tomorrow.

Love you all!!!!
Aunty Linda xoxox
