4-21-08- Yay! Jaslene Isabella is finally here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was suppose to get induced on Tuesday, but my water broke Monday at 12am!!!!! That Sunday I was feeling weird all day. I was soooo tired and not hungry and really crampy. I went to Target with Frank, then to the mall, then to the grocery store and after that I just really wanted to get home. I fell asleep as soon as I got home and woke up feeling even worse so I got up and took a shower just in case. I told my mom I was going to bed around 10pm and she said "I hope your water breaks tonight so you won't have to get induced" So I tried to sleep but I just felt so gross. I finally feel asleep for a little bit then I woke up at 12am feeling really hot and sick. I sat up to go to the bathroom and it felt like I was peeing a little. Then I stood up and I knew my water was breaking! So I ran to the bathroom and I made it just in time for it to break in the toilet! I was like "OMG!!!!! My baby's coming finally!!!!!!!" So I went to wake up Frank and said "Babe, my water broke!" and he said "SHUTUP! Omg babe, our baby girl's coming!!!!!!!!" So him, my mom, and brother took me to the hospital. We got there around 12:30 a.m., got in a room, got hooked up to all the monitors and stuff and it was around 1a.m. They checked me and I was still 3cm and they said as soon as I get to 4 I can get an epidural (which I couldn't wait for!) They checked me again a little later and I was 4 1/2, so I finally got the epidural and it was heaven!!!!!! After that I finally got some sleep and it was the best sleep ever! They said I would probably have the baby around 8am. After we heard that we were sooooo excited! Well 8am came...and went...and no baby. I went from 3cm, to 4 1/2, to 5, to I think 6 1/2, to a 9! Then to a 10 and then to a 10 +2!!!!!!! BUT still no baby. They told us she would be here around 8am, then 12, then 2, then 3, then 5, but still no baby. I pushed for 2 hours and she wasn't coming out. My doctor decided to try the vacuum, but only tried twice cause it would've ripped me really bad. So I had to end up getting a c-section cause it was just too much on me and the baby. I went into the room, I remember Frank coming in, and then I passed out for about an hour from the medicine. She was born on Monday April 14th at 7:12p.m. and weighed 7lbs. 11oz. I woke up around 8:15 and finally got to hold my baby girl!!!!!!!! I was in labor for 19 hours! And I can't believe how bad it is after you have a c-section. Omg, it's the worst recovery in the world! But I would go through it a million times over and over again just for her! I love her soooooooo much! I can't believe I have such a beutiful baby girl. I'm so glad she's ok since it was such a hard labor on the both of us. It was hard on Frank too. He was so worried for us both. But now we're a little happy family and I couldn't want anything more in my life right now.
4-10-08- Yay! I just got back from my doctor appointment and she said I'm 3cm BUT she scheduled me to get induced on Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Omg I'm sooooooooo excited!!!!!! I can't wait to finally have my baby girl here!!!!!!!! :)

4-10-08- So I have my 38 week appointment today and hopefully I'm dilated to 4cm, that would be so great! I just hope I'm not still at a 3. But I've been dilating every week pretty good. One week I was nothing, the next week I was 2cm, and the next week I was 3cm, and hopefully I'm still dilating! I just want my baby girl already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4-6-08- Me and Frank finally decided on our baby girl's middle name! Her name's gonna be Jaslene Isabella Lopez!!! We love it! We told her now that she has a middle name she can come out now! We're getting so excited to see her already! Omg, I hope she comes soon! :)

3-31-08- So I've been having lots of contractions. I usually get them at night, then they go away by morning. Well I started getting them really bad last night and they weren't getting any better. I couldn't sleep all night and when I did get some sleep, I woke up and I was still getting bad contractions. I had them all day today so I decided to go see my dr. She checked me and now I'm 3cm dilated! She said the baby looks like she dropped too. And i can tell she did, my belly looks different and I can feel her really low now. My dr. said it's all up to the baby now! I'm so scared, but really excited! I wonder when she's coming. It took me a week to get to 2cm and another week to get to 3cm, I just have to get to 4cm and I'll be ready to have her! Omg, I can't wait to hold my baby girl already! :)

3-26-08- So I had another doctor appointment today. Last week my dr. checked me and I wasn't dilated at all and today she checked me again and I'm 2 cm dilated!!!!!! She was so surprised! I can't believe I dilated 2 cm in a week!!! She said I just have to get to 4 cm to go to the hospital!!! Omg, I think my baby girl wants to be here for our baby shower this Saturday, lol. I can't wait!!!!!!!!! She's gonna be here soooo soon!!! <3

3-19-08- Well I went to my doctor's appointment today and she said I'm not dilating yet, but my cervix feels like it's getting there real soon! Yay! And she said the baby's head down and in the position already!!! I'm so excited! I can't wait for her to get here already!!!!!!!! :)

3-17-08- Well yesterday we finally got the crib!!! My mom bought it for me from babies r us and I loveeeee it so much!!! It's soooo cute! We're gonna put it together this weekend :) Aww, I can't wait till my baby girl is here and she gets to sleep in it! About 5 weeks left! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!

3-13-08- So I had my doctor appointment today and she did the Gb swab test. It wasn't bad at all. Anyways, I'm going every week now, I can't believe it! She said she's gonna start checking me at my appointments to see if I'm dilating yet. Omg, my baby girl is almost here!!! I can't wait!!! :)

2-22-08- So I had my 31 week appointment on Wednesday and everything went great! Me and Frank heard our baby girl's heartbeat and it was so loud and strong! As soon as the doctor saw my stomach she said "wow, that's a big baby!" lol, we asked her if she knew how much she weighed right now and she said it's a guess but if she keeps growing like this she might be between 7 1/2 or 8 lbs. when she's born! Aww, my fat little princess! :) After the appointment we went to register at babies r us and it was so much fun! I wanted to buy everything! lol, and Frank had a lot of fun too! I have about 9 weeks left till I get to see my baby girl! I can't wait!!! Next appointment at 33 weeks :)

1-21-07- I had my dr appointment today and good news! My glucose test came back normal!!! Yay!!!!! :) Me and Frank heard our little baby girl's heartbeat again and the dr. said it sounded great! Aww I know I hear it everytime I go, but everytime it makes me want to cry :) I can't wait for her to get here already! <3

1-11-07- Yay! I went to my dr. appointment yesterday and everything was great. I drank that glucose drink and it wasn't even as bad as everyone kept saying it was. It taste just like flat 7up or sprite, lol. Then they weighed me and so far I've gained 15 pounds total (which isn't that bad) Then we heard her heartbeat and it was very strong :) We asked if we could do another ultrasound cause we were only given an 80% that it's a girl at my last ultrasound. So my dr. said sure! :) (She's like the nicest dr. ever!) Anyways, last time my baby had her legs crossed, but this time she had them wide open, so now we know that for sure IT'S A GIRL!!!!!! Aww, me and my husband are soooo excited!!!! I can't wait to start buying baby girl stuff :) Before I left they took my blood to see if the glucose did anything to me, so I guess I'll find out at my next appointment. Hopefully I passed. Oh and I go every 2 weeks now! Time is really gonna fly by now! :)

12-27-07- Well I just got back from my ultrasound and the doctor told me she's 80% sure that IT'S A GIRL!!! We're gonna get another one done just to be sure, but she said she's pretty confident it's a girl! :) Awwwww!!!!!

12-24-07- So my doctor's office called me friday and said they scheduled my ultrasound for December 27th!!!!! Thursday!!!!!!! Me and Frank are soooo excited!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!

12-17-07- Aww, my little baby loves Christmas music! Everytime we play Christmas songs, he or she starts moving around and kicking like crazy! :)

12-13-07- So I had my appointment today and I still don't know if I'm having a boy or girl! BUT they said I'll be finding out at my next appointment Jan. 10th! We heard the heartbeat and everything was great! :)

12-12-07- Well I have another appointment tomorrow and hopefully I get to find out if I'm having a little baby boy or a little baby girl :)

12-3-07- Yay!!! I finally felt the baby kick last night! I was laying on my side and then I moved around and layed on my back and I felt my stomach move around so I put my hand right there and I felt the kick! I told my husband "OMG OMG OMG the baby just kicked!" He got to feel it only once cause everytime he would put his hand there the baby wouldn't kick, lol. I woke up this morning and he or she was already awake moving around and kicking like crazy!

11-27-07- So I finally went to my first appointment on the 15th and it was sooo cool! I got to hear the heartbeat!!! I almost started crying, lol. And they weren't gonna do an ultrasound but they weren't sure of all my dates so they did one! The baby was moving around soooo much! The doctor said "Omg, he or she thinks it's a little swimmer!" lol, and we even saw him or her yawning! Omg it was so cute! And I went there thinking I was 15 weeks but it turned out I was already 17 weeks!!! So today that makes me 19 weeks!!!! My due date was changed from May 7th to April 19th! I'm so excited!!!! Next appointment is Dec. 13th :)

11-14-07- I'm finally 15 weeks and it feels so good! Tomorrow's my first real appointment and I'm a little nervous just cause this is my first and I don't know what's gonna happen. But I'm so excited to finally go to the doctor (my insurance took soooo long) lol

Thanks... How exciting for you. I still have no idea what's going on. Just when I think I have things figured out, my baby decides to be breech and I'll have to have a c section if he doesn't flip, which doesn't look likely. Anyway! yeah for you and your baby :)

threeangelsofmine - Wednesday, 12 Mar
hey, the swab test did not hurt at all they just take a swab like a long q-tip and swab the inside of your vagina and around the outside of your anus not a big deal. i really didn't feel a thing honestly, good luck!


mulan - Sunday, 2 Mar
My friend was extremly sick around the second trimester. She want to take medicine at first, but the sinus cold she had would not go away !!! It lasted so long that it turned into a full blown sinus infection and she had to take tylenol plus antibiotics that her Dr. prescribed. But if yours isnt too bad yet and you realy dont want to take the medicine try a plain saline spray( its not harmfull at all, it basicaly salt and water) for your nose. If you have a sore through drink some warm(allmost hot) milk, with honey and a lil' bit of butter ( but only if you have real unsalted butter, so it doesnt have a taste)If not just milk and honey. That realy works well! And if dont have one, get a humidifier, and keep it on at least at night(you can put vapors in it or use one of those sudafed plugins so its easier to breath)A humidifier will not only help with your cold, but will keep you more hydrated. Other medicines you can use are tylenol(as you allready know but limit it to 2g a day), vicks vapo rub, sudafed and benadryl. DO NOT TAKE ADVIL, ASPIRIN, IBUPOFEN!


alanna - Sunday, 2 Mar
Take the Tylenol! You being in pain is worse for the baby than the medication could possibly be for the baby at this point in your pregnancy! You should check with your Dr, but mine even said Tylenol PM is safe all through pregnancy. I took it with all my pregnancies and I have very healthy babies. The ingredient that makes it help you sleep is benydryl which will also help with your congestion. :)


first-time-mommy-to-b - Sunday, 2 Mar
I was completley against taking any medicines while I was pregnant...even what the Dr. had okayed. I finally had to break down and take a tylenol b/c I was in so much pain at one point I was crying. Needless to say I will take a tylenol once and a while now. I experienced no changes in the babys movements or anything and I felt much better. I would say go ahead. Of course, it is up to you but I still don't take the recommended dosage, it seems like alot to me so I only take 1. Good Luck! :)


shortiiee - Thursday, 28 Feb
WOW!! Big belly!!


shortiiee - Wednesday, 27 Feb
