I first found out I was pregnant on June 6th but couldn't believe it. I took another pregnancy test the next day then I went to the clinic for a pregnancy test there. After that the doctor was going to send me to get blood work done just so I could be 100% sure but I didn't end up going. I made an appointment with a nurse at the health unit. Before my second appointment I decided I should tell my mom so she could be there with me. It was really the most scary thing I've ever had to do but afterwards I had Tim there by my side which really made a difference. My mom told my dad the next day and he was actually really calm about it. My mom came with me to my next doctors appointment, she ended up asking more questions than I did and shes now in love with the nurse from the health unit. After that visit we didn't go back to the health unit my mom looked into getting me midwives which I LOVE. My first appointment there was mostly just information given and we tried to hear the baby's heart which we couldn't find so early. On July 23rd I had my first ultrasound but because I wasn't 12 weeks yet they wouldn't let me see anything and they wouldn't tell me anything, it was pretty disappointing. The same day I had a midwife appointment because I needed to get a pap test done. Before my pap test was done they checked for the heartbeat again and it was just perfect http://youtube.com/watch?v=MvVqUBeWZCk - my mom videotaped it and I put it on youtube so my family could hear it. On the 24th my midwives called me to tell me that they had the results of my ultrasound and everything was perfect AND there was only 1 baby in there so I was very pleased. I'll be 12 weeks as of the 26th and I'm loving how fast the time is going. I can't wait to hold my baby

ambermomof4 - Tuesday, 31 Jul I took out my belly rig around 6 months when my belly really started getting bigger... I was not going to take any chances on it ripping out...
ambermomof4 - Monday, 30 Jul Oh how fun I am glad that your bf is helping that is the way it should be. Girl that 6 months is going to fly you will see. Right now it dont feel like that but it will. I cant believe how fast mine went it is just these last couple weeks that will drag on forever lol... I am just so ready to have this little one come into the world. My other kids are getting way excited and ready. They have been ready since the day I told them I was pregnant and I waited until I was showing to tell them anything...
ambermomof4 - Monday, 30 Jul LOL well you need to tell him it dont work that way lol... That would be great if you all girls and then maybe that little boy lol... You need to tell him it dont work the way you want it to. I wish it was that easy to say ummm yes 3 boys and one girl please lol... Yeah I was a young mother as well and did not exspect this last one but I look at is as a Blessing from God! I still have so much I need to do before the baby is here and I am right now looking at 2 to 3 more weeks YAY but I need to shop lol.. It has just been hard not knowing what I am going to have and what to shop for.
newmommyamber - Monday, 30 Jul I don't really want to, My boyfriend rreally wants me to though...I guess we still have a long way to decide.
newmommyamber - Sunday, 29 Jul That's cool. So are you going to videotape the birth?
newmommyamber - Saturday, 28 Jul I wish I would have recorded the heartbeat, I think me and Brandon were so excited we just forgot. When we got home he said we should have with our phones.
newmommyamber - Friday, 27 Jul I don't know what I'd do if the ywouldn't let me see the baby...I'd probably throw a fit. I'm glad your baby is healthy though. I can't wait to get a u/s. Hearing the heartbeat was amazing, but I know seeing it will be even better.
ambermomof4 - Friday, 27 Jul Well there is nothing wrong with you being pregnant at a young age it happens more and more these days. Shot I have been a mother for 8 years and love it more than anything in the world. Here I am fixing to have my last one which will make 4 kids. You will start to show before you know it so enjoy not showing yet. lol.. You will wake up and then nothing is ever going to fit right after you start getting that belly =)
ambermomof4 - Friday, 27 Jul Yea I know it is so sad that he is going to be 8. Like I said I was 17 when I had him. They grown up so fast and you just want the time to stand still...
ambermomof4 - Friday, 27 Jul I am glad you love it. I hate it lol... I was 17 when I had my first son. He is getting ready to turn 8 next week =( I am very sad about that. Well you enjoy your pregnancy girl I am glad to see you do so far. I cant wait to have it all done and over with lol...
