Hello!! This is my third pregnancy and in a world of its own. I've two wonderful boys ( one is almost 3, the other is almost 9) and compaired to this one they were GREAT!!! I never had morning, noon, night whatever sickness, felt great most of the time. Not this one!! This one stinks. I have been told that I was lucky in not feeling morningsickness with the boys, but I never knew how lucky until about three weeks ago. The feeling of nausea that comes up out of nowhere is horrible, and makes me hate life. I would have to say this one is odd all the way around, I experienced cramping for the first time, I seem to be completely useless until the midafternoon, and can't sleep at night or get comfortable. I'm also in denial. Since I have never experienced these sypmtoms my mind has convinced myself something is wrong (this week I favor tubal pregnancy), little paranoid huh?? I go to the doctor on the 27th, so we shall see. Congrats to all those new mommies, repeat mommies, and good luck to you all!!

8-19-07~ Well today has been good! I have finally eatin a whole mealing without feeling sick. I still walk around like I'm draggin my feet though. I just found out a friend of mine is pregnant. Funny thing is that she was pregnant with me about three years ago. :) She had a daughter who is six weeks older than my youngest JJ. Now, I am going to have mine before her! Ironic huh? I'm still a little worried about gaining weight, cause I am a big girl so I don't want to gain to much. I have not eatin so many veggies and fruits before. My pants are now gettin tight but I haven't gained anything yet. Still waitin for my 1st dr. appt on the 27th getting excited. But since I haven't had a dr. appt I feel kinda like this is all a dream.

8-22-07~ Today I feel like crap! The smells in the air are revolting, and I just want to lay down and not move. Its very hard to do homework when you feel this way, but I will get it done. I am looking forward to the doctor appt I have on Monday. Jesse (the BF) was very upset when he found out I was pregnant, but he is actually doing well. since it was a surprise for the both of us he just didn't handle it very well. Now he speaks of it and wants to buy a house. I think secretly he's looking forward to the baby and hopes its a girl. :) Well, off to pick up JJ from daycare. Yeah, car sickness...

8-26-07~ Well today is just like any other day I've had thus far. I feel icky! Tired, hot, moody, just all around BLAH. Jess is at work today so I am stuck with the boys. I usually like Sundays, its Jesse's only day off and he hangs with the boys for awhile so I can have some quiet time. Last night was horrible, I took both boys (not a good thing) to the store and they drove me nuts. I got all angry and then got scared b/c I was so upset that my tummy started to hurt. I'm Bipolar, and since gotten pg, I have gotten taken off my meds and I just have to remember when I start to get really upset I have to breathe. I am afraid with this baby unlike the ones before. I've never had cramps and that scares me, I've taken no prenatals (b/c I can't get them), tomorrow will be the first time I see the doctor in almost 3months. I just keep thinking the poor thing is going to be messed up in some way. I dunno, we will see tomorrow. Off to feed the boys.

8-27-07~ Today was a good day. I went to the doctor and saw my little creation on the screen and almost cried. Its like real now, I'm really having another baby.... (still in awe). I saw the heartbeat just a pumpin away and it was doing jump-n-jacks so it was cool. Part of me is still stunned, the other part is well... okay all of me is still stunned. I wouldn't mind if this one was a girl. Even though when I was little I always said I wanted 3 boys. Jesse is handling the pregnancy a lot better than before, at least now he will talk about it. He has odd ways of thinking. I will tell Dominic (my oldest) tonight. Its scary and hard for me to admit I am afraid of an 8yr old but he is very sensative and I don't want him to feel like I don't have enough love for him plus the other two. Although if its a girl I think he will be happy, but if its another boy I think he might get upset. JJ follows him around everywhere! Its kind of nice, at least now I can go pee by myself. Oh well, off to tuck JJ in for a nap.

10-5-07 ~ Well, I am not sure what happened to my other update but oh well. The next month is going to be hectic!! I go back for blood work (to check for abnormalties such as down syndrome) on Oct 15th. I will be walking on egg shells until that test comes back. I go for my 18week check up on Oct 22nd and am looking forward to it. Then Oct 24th Jesse and I will leave for San Francisco for the weekend. His anniversary/christmas/birthday present was to go to San Fran and watch a 49ers game. His fav team is the 49ers. So we got all the tickets, car, hotel and all (before we found out we were preggo) and we leave then. It will be a very fast paced three days. It should be fun, but will be interesting all depending on how drunk he becomes. there is a chance my brother and his girlfriend will come down for the weekend, but we will see. After that Nov 6th I go for my final u/s to determine the sex of the baby. Its tied at the moment kinda. My mom, me and my oldest Dominic wants a girl. Jesse, JJ, and grandpa wants another boy. Deep down I feel its a girl. So knowing my luck it will be another boy. Which will leave me out numbered greatly. It will also suck b/c Jesse does not seem to like any boys name besides his own. I REFUSE to call him Jesse James the third. (rolling eyes here). Besides that's too many boys for my liking. Three boys and their dad omg I'll have grey hairs within 5yrs. My mom so far has 4 grandsons and I am her last hope for a granddaughter. School has become very tiring and long. I am very glad to be graduating but I seem to have stopped caring. My grades are slipping and I might receive my first C this semester. With any luck and a whole lot of work I will graduate a few months after this baby is due and finally will go back to work. Sitting at home with the kids is great for some parents, but its starting to drive me nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am very tired today, I've had a headache on and off for the last three days and Jesse is not home. He is out drinking and enjoying his time away. I envy him at times for being able to go to work and go hang out without feeling bad. The last time I went out just for shits and giggles without the kids was back in May. It usually happens about 2x a year. I dunno maybe that is why I am so tired. I'm off to go scream in my room now, for it seems to be rather loud in my house.

10-13-07 ~ Well, today I got shocked for the first time by Jesse. He actually was talking about names for the baby. AND he was sober while doing it. He did not get angry at all, he was just throwing out names (awful ones mind you) but he was doing it willingly and I was so surprised. Up to this point he has not really been interested in anything that has to do with the baby. He will act all upset and annoyed until the little one pops out then he will finally be happy. Figures huh. (rolling my eyes here). Well I've got quite a few doctor's appts coming up in the next few weeks. On the 15th I go in for blood work to find out if the baby will have any abnormalties, such as down syndrome. I'm kinda nervous because I've heard that these tests come back positive a lot of times when they are not and then more tests are done. I am not sure how I would handle knowing that the baby will come out not normal, then a few weeks later they so oh my bad it will be fine. Boy I think I'd smack someone. Anywho, on the 22nd I go in for my 18wk check up and get to hear the heartbeat again. Last time it was 155 I wonder what it will be this time? Then I leave to go to California on the 26th for 4 days to go watch a football game. (Jesse's idea of a nice birthday gift for me....HA) We will be gone away from the kids for 5 days. I've never left JJ for longer than 2 days before since he was born, and he's 3 now. I've never been away from them both at the same time longer than 2 days. So I will miss them very much and will call often. Then we after we come back we've got trick or treating on the 31st, which the boys will love and Jesse will actually go with us on that one. Then the days of days is Nov 6th. I go get my second u/s then to find out the sex of the baby. I am so nervous b/c I really want a girl. I think if I find out I am having another boy I will be disappointed and cry all over the u/s nurse. Then what if I don't like him as much?? IDK, I will love it regardless, but I just really want the girl. Which is odd because growing up I always wanted 3 boys. But I've got 2 now and I don't think I could handle another......

18wks

10-20-07 ~ Well, I am about tired of the chat. I was so impatient waiting for it go come back and in the beginning it was good. Then dumb people started coming around and ruined it for everyone. I just don't even want to go in there no more. All the people I know aren't around so I get to listen to people talk crap to other people. IDK I'm to old for that crap. Anywho, I am going to see the doc on Monday for my checkup. I am excited I get to hear the heartbeat again for the 2nd time. I will post something about it when I am done.

10-22-07 ~ Okay, my check up today went fine. I've lost another pound making the grad total to be 7lbs lost. Its okay though the baby is fine. I got my results back from my quad test, they were negative. The babies heartbeat was 139, and I am measuring just fine. So that's all good. I am set to fly off on Friday to Cali, then in a few more weeks find out what I am having!

20 wks

11-8-07 ~ Well my u/s was scheduled for last Monday but there were issues so it got put back until the 14th. I am starting to show if I wear a tight enough shirt, and the baby is moving more often now during the day than it did before. Dominic is excited and wants to go to the u/s with me next week, but I don't know if I should take him out of school for it. I think he'd get a kick out of it though so maybe I will who knows. Well JJ has finally comes to terms that there is a baby in my belly and has to kiss it every night before he goes to bed. Its rather cute but not when your out some place and you've got a 3yr old trying to lift up your shirt so he can kiss the baby. Especially since the baby is close to my belly button still. We had a talk about that though so its all good. Jess isn't working much with puts him under stress and just annoys me. I've started looking for a job to try to help put but its not going to well yet. I thought since its the holiday season that maybe someone would want holiday help but I REFUSE to work at a resturant or a fast food joint so I am limited. I had my first harship dealing with death last Saturday, and Amanda helped me through it without going into histerics. I've never known anyone who has died before. I've gone to 1 funeral in my life and that was Jesse's best friend about 6yrs ago. That sucked! But my unlce died over the weekend of a heartattack at the age of 53 and that was worse. I wasn't close to this particular uncle (I have like 8 of them) but I have memories of playing with him and his family as a kid. So it hit hard and I didn't know how to deal with it. I called Jesse who was out at the time and he was very inconsiderate about it but like I said before Amanda helped me through it and calmed me down. I think I would have fallen into a depression if it wasn't for her. Today is the funeral and my parents are up north for it. He was in the military so he will be getting the military funeral, and most likely he is in a better place. Anywhos, I am looking forward to my u/s next week and keep couting down the days. I've only got 6 days togo!!! I would very much like a little girl, but for some reason I think it will be a boy. I have taken the time to convince myself that if it is another boy that it will be okay and I won't get angry. lol.. As long as its healthy I don't care what it is. Although, trying to agree on another boys name with Jesse is going to be a pain inthe ass big time. I'll keep you posted!

I found this site with JJ and I think its pretty cool go take a look: http://babiesonline.com/babies/b/babymorey

11-14-07 ~ Well we found out today I am having a boy. It was unreal! Jesse came to the u/s with me (which made my day) and when the tech first started looking around she said oh its a 75% chance its a girl!! I was like YEA!!! Jesse said DAMMIT! Then when she was looking around at the heart, lungs, kidney's etc, she says wait a minute your girl grew parts, yep its a boy 99%. I said crap, Jesse yelled YEAH!!!!! Butthead!! So this is my 3rd boy and we have no idea what to name it. He weighed in at 1 pound, and is measuring correctly at 21w 5d. He's got all his arms, legs, hands, feet, and other parts he needs. He is doing well!! I did post some of the pics of my u/s but they are not really that good. The baby wasn't didn't feel like his picture being taken. So go take a look and tell me if there is the possibility he might actually be a girl.....

22wks

11-19-07 ~ Went to the doctors today and everything is great. I've gained back 3 of the 7 pounds I lost. I am measuring 24wks, and his heartbeat was 130. So all is well on the baby front. I on the other hand have a sinus infection so that stinks!!! Jesse and I have came up with two names we like. He likes James, and I like Alexander. Now we have to decide if we want the baby's name to be James Alexander or Alexander James. It will be up in the air for awhile. JJ and I went to WalMart today and put some items on our registry. He had a blast scanning all the items, and even managed to scan on some girl items while I was looking. lol... My next appt I was told I get a glucose test, since I will be at the right week, so that will be December 19th. I will watch my weight until then, and update if anything exciting happens.

December 2, 2007 ~ Well it has been a long ride but this semester of school is almost over!! I can not wait it has been draining for me for some reason. Well just to complain for a bit, I am getting annoyed with my family. They give me no help at all around the house. To get Dominic to clean his room is like pulling teeth. JJ listens about as well as a damn wall, and Jesse is just hopeless. He figures he works so he doesn't need to do anything. It kind of reminds me of being a single mom with a roommate who pays the bills. Is this normal for a relationship? I do everything! The driving, dishes, laundry, cleaning, cooking, taking care of kids, go to school, pick him up from bars, etc. He works sometimes only 3hrs a day. Hangs out with other adults (something I would kill for at times) and when he is at home he sits his butt in front of the tv and watches whatever he wants to. If they kids want something they walk right past him and asks me while I am in the middle of something. Its as if he is invisable. The only thing he seems to be good for is punishment. Boy if I tell the kids I am gonig to tell their daddy something they get it done. I don't know, will it always be like this with him... yea probably. Will I always live like this.... no probably not. Three kids or not, I think I deserve a little more. On a pregnancy note, I have wanted chocolate like it is going out of style. I have the biggest sweet tooth ever!! I am slowly gaining weight probably up to about 5pounds now, and my tummy is sticking out more. My kids comment on it, especially Dominic. I knew I would gain weight so I am learning to live with watching the scale go up, but it is still depressing at times. My ultimate reality goal is to gain no more than 25pounds. I will manage that no matter what.

26 wks

12-12-07 ~ Well today is my oldests birthday, he turned 9 today. He is getting so big and it makes me feel so old. He's become quite the mouthy little thing too. Well the pregnancy is going along just fine. I have a doctor's appt next Wed, and get to take a glucose test I think. I am pretty positive that I've gained a bunch in the last 4wks, and that of course will depress me to the max. Jesse has not mentioned the baby much no more, its as if he just doesn't think about him at all. JJ still likes to pull up my shirt in the most inappropriate places to "kiss his baby brother". But that is all good, its kind of cute. I'm starting to show more and it kind of makes me smile a bit. It is a pain in the arse trying to sleep at night cause I can not find a spot to sleep at all. I am tired during the day and wide awake in the middle of the night. How does that play fair? I no longer want chocolate as much as before, and things are tasting pretty funny at times. I am not hungry much no more either but I will get over that quick I bet. This damn heartburn I am way over though. I'll write more about my non exciting dr appt next week.

12-16-07 ~ Holy crap this morning I woke up with a charlie horse that damn near killed me. Okay slight fib there, but it hurt!! I was sleeping peacefully then rolled over and bam OUCH, I jumped up (surprised myself I could move that fast) jumped off the bed (made it way worse) and then started to calm down. Hell, the pain brought tears to my eyes. I read that most pregnant women get these when they are not active or do anything, but hell I just spent the whole day on my feet moving around. Me and the fam went to an fun park for Dominic's birthday, we played put put golf, rode go carts, played games, went out to dinner, and even went to Wal Mart. I guess I made my legs mad and that is how they paid me back. lol Other than that I am good.

27 wks

12-20-07 ~ Well lets see, I had a dr appt yesterday and it went well. I have gained 6lbs so far this pregnacy. The baby's heartbeat was 152 bpm, going kinda fast, I guess he was hyper. He is measuring three weeks big this time, so the dr told me he is going to be a big boy. Again, I was hoping for a little boy this time, but I can't get one so he'll be over 8lbs. I guess that is cool though, cause that means he'll be a healthy little runt, and most of my weight gain has gone to him and not on my thighs. lol. Other than that I am doing well. I have to go take my glucose test today or tomorrow so we will see how I far on that one. I've been getting heartburn at least once a week, and my headaches seem to be getting worse with each one. I'm not really craving anything exciting, just interesting combonations of food. Like I wanted toast with rasberry jam, an apple, and a hot dog for dinner last night. I don't want to many pickles like I did with JJ and I am so over my sweet tooth. I no longer want sweets, like chocolate kisses, or snickers. Just looking at them makes me frown. I am starting to look at baby stuff now. I have decided I am going to get a crib, as well as a bassenett. Now I will have to buy one next year. Jesse has not given me any idea as to some names he likes for the baby, so he is now known as BM (baby morey). Jesse says it reminds him of a bowel movement, yet he still will not name him. Go figure. Well Christmas is around the corner and it stinks!!!! This year will be rough, but all good.

29wks

1-4-08 ~ Well, it is a new year, and it still feels the same. I have an appt on the 15th of this month for my 30wk check up and another u/s to check on the baby. I am looking forward to the u/s more than the check up. They won't tell me how much I've gained... :) I've been handling not being on my meds pretty well I have to say. Although I do go through bouts of depression, a lot more. On those days, I just feel pretty lonely. Today is one of those days, but I am trying not to let it get me down. It has been hard for me to listen to other pregnant women on here talk about how supportive their boyfriends/husbands are. How they try to feel the baby move, and go to all the appointments, and how they fondle all over them. I've got a boyfriend, who just doesn't care. He will when the baby comes, but as of right now he doesn't want anything to do with it. Can't even agree on a damn name. I will write more after my appt!

30weeks

1-15-08~ Well today I had my 30wk exam as well as another u/s. All is good with me and baby boy. He is measuring 2wks big (no surprise there), and his heartbeat was 142bpm. I have gained a total of 12 pounds this pregnancy (which is good considering I gained 60 both other time before) and baby boy weights 4 pounds. Which is about a pound bigger than he is suppose to be at this time. He is breech (which means his butt is down) but still has time to turn, so I am not worried about it. Overall its all good.
I have a little over 9wks left before baby boy makes his apperence, and I am getting excited, I can now start buying him all the neat do dad's he needs. It will be fun trying to juggle going to school full time (I graduate in May) and taking care of an infant, a toddler, a know it all, and their dad. But I am looking forward to it! Yeah probably cause I am a little nuts...

2-3-08 ~ Just an update... Jesse has finally narrowed our search down to 3 names... OMG took him long enough. Now we are just having issues with a middle name at the moment. He has chosen: Ajay Morey, Alex Morey, and Alonzo Morey. Now after more aggravating work we will narrow it down to just one. Hopefully soon Ive only got about 7wks to go...

34wks 5d

2-14-08 ~ Happy Valentines Day!!! Well I had a doctors appt yesterday and it was alright. I still feel like it is a waste of time since they really don't do anything. I've gained a grand total of 22 pounds so far (a little more than I wanted too), and the doc estimates little Alex's weight to be around 9pounds at birth. Lucky me huh... I am measuring 38wks and he is still in the breech position as far as they can tell. I go back on 2/27 for an u/s to determine this. If that is still the case then we will discuss what to do then. I have been experinecing pains in my gina area, like shooting pains that I remember I got with my last one right before I had him. My mom seems to think I am going to go early this time cause of how different this pregnancy is. I don't know what to think... all I know is that it is hard to sleep some nights, and the pains are more annoying then painful. I will update more after my u/s.
