  • This time last year you weren't even pregnant yet!

3/13/08 Went to my doctor appt today. Baby's heartbeat is 169! My blood pressure is good everything is measuring good! Next visit, I do the Beta Strep test and internal checks...almost there!! So nervous!!

3/10/08 My babyshower was on saturday. My mother did a beautiful job of decorating. She put alot of time into this...however not alot of people showed up. I was a little disappointed, but I guess they all had their reasons. The baby did get a lot of presents...so I was grateful for that. He got his bassinet, a bouncer, a swing, a bathtub, blankets, socks, picture frames, clothes, humidifier, and teddy bears and lots of other things..I got a breast pump! yippee!! So now I need the stroller/carseat that's the most important. I saw that some people are still buying me stuff, I think that's cool! I wish they were all able to see my babyshower my mom did such a good job..I told her she should be a party planner. I'm taking a day off today. I'm just not 100%. I feel so blah and I haven't slept at all. My nights are horrible. I can't breath. I get like a burping attack when I lay down, my stomach HURTS, every time I turn, my hips are killing me. I hope it doesn't get worse because I have to go to work till due date.

2/28/08 Went to the doctor today. Baby's heartbeat is perfect. Everything measures good. My doctor is putting me on iron supplements for rest of pregnancy. Thankfully she gave me a whole bunch of samples. I was in a very good mood. Until I saw the BD at the mall. He was smiling and walking with the older woman, she wasn't pretty or anything but I was like dam, he hasn't spent any time with me this whole pregnancy. But yet he has time to go to the mall and shop with people. I don't know. He's nothing to me but the baby's father at this time but it still bums me out...anyway SE LA VI...right?....I'll get over it. Important thing is My child is healthy and I'm healthy. Nobody else matters anymore.

2/14/08 Had my 30 week ultrasound today..Miguelito is weighing at 4lbs and a couple oz! Everything looked good. The tech even did a couple of 3D pictures for me..what a difference two weeks made...He's all squished up in there. but I got to see his EYE open...oh and I gained 5lbs in one week!! What the hell!!! I guess I have to make my 45 min walks into 1hr and 15mins! But the funny part, I had to see the doctor afterwards and they do a urine sample each visit...so I was so distraught over the 5lbs, I went to the bathroom, I flushed the toilet...and oops I forgot I had to pee in the cup!!

2/8/08 Okay so this week I had my frantic moment! I was trippin out because my baby wasn't moving as much or his kicks weren't strong. THen I started to get these pains all over my belly.LOOOOONG story short, I got the nurse to let the doctor see me. Baby's heart was fine and my cervix was fine and for the pain...it might be my uteran muscles..Today my son is back to beating me up!! I'm so happy!! Wow I am going to be LOCA when the baby is born..

2/1/08 Yesterday we did the 4d U/S...I cried as soon as we got a clear picture of him. How amazing is it that we can see this? It was so breathtaking. I think when I have my son I'm going to be crying more than him?? I'm such a cry baby now. The dr appt was right after that and I only gained 1lb!!!! Yes ladies 164!!! My blood pressure was high at first but I was just so excited about the u/s..so we did it again...and it was normal..Then I had my first day of child birth class..I really liked it..I think the babydaddy did too. I think he's starting to realize how this pregnancy deal really is..we were doing relaxation techniques and he was actually rubbing my leg...He hasn't done that since I told him I was pregnant...so its was a fantastic day! I pray that these types of days continue...check out my son in my womb! It was $250 we could've saved to buy baby stuff...but this was so worth it!

1/29 Dear Miguelito, all last night you kicked and punched mommy. I didn't get to sleep much. I actually was a little worried. Everytime I laid on my right side you would kick me. I even went to the restroom and noticed you were sticking out from my belly! My belly was uneven! I thought you were stuck in my ribs. No lie. I even called the nurse in the morning to ask her if you were in danger...she said no...but its your way of saying you don't want me on that side when I lay down. Huh! Already getting your way! However, you are still kicking and punching me on my right side. Ive been at work all day and everytime you kicked me in the rib, I jump up and I say OUCH! You are so active! You're such a rugrat!! Even though its uncomfortable...I still love to know you are awake and full of life!

1/9/08 I have my drs appt tomorrow. Hope all goes well. I've been feeling up and down lately. I don't know what it is...well I know it is a combination of things. The feeling I encounter the most is abondonment. Everyone saw me as this PARTY GIRL...and now that all I want to do is watch movies, eat, and talk baby...I don't have anyone to talk to. I mean I got a couple of girlfriends but its not the same ya know. Then I get this great feeling of joy when I feel my son moving in my belly. What a feeling. Knowing that he's in there moving and growing. I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about. I can't believe that God blessed me with a child. I thought it would never happen. Anyways, I got a sick over the holidays which was such a bummer. However, I'm feeling better. My back is killing me. OMG..I'm ready to pay somebody to give me a massage! I'm starting to sleep better at night....thankfully! but now its sitting in a chair for 8hrs that is killing me. So I have started to walk more. I started yesterday, I did 40 minutes with my dog. This morning I did 30minutes. I am now 160lbs...So I think thats 25lbs Ive gained. Well I was 160 last week...lets see what the doc says tomorrow.

12/17/07...I'm at work right now..and all I have on my mind is my little boy in my belly...he's been moving alot...not alot kicking or maybe I'm just overreacting again. I tend to get overly worried about things...I'm going to drive myself nutz. I pray everyday, all day for my son. I cry when I think something bad might happen. I have such a crazy way of thinking sometimes...I pray that my son won't have to pay for my mistakes. I can't wait to be a mother to him. Well its just one of those days today ladies. Hopefully things will get brighter soon! Plus its cold in Tampa...I like it cold on Tampa on 3 days..Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas!! 12/14/07 Well Christmas is around the corner and I wish I can buy all baby stuff! but I must resist! I have to wait!! I see all the little christmas outfits and I can't wait to do all that stuff. Baby has been moving alot not much kicking today.

12/7/07 I could've swore I posted last night. But My sonogram was good. Baby is definately a boy! Very happy about that. I got to see everything...his brain, his heart, his belly, umbilical cord, his feet, fingers, mouth, nose...okay I did say everything...I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!! The Baby Daddy actually came to see...but poor guy seemed so in shock. I think he just got a dose of reality...and it hit him hard...I actually felt sorry for the kid which I normally don't (because he has it all). But, hes scared and he pretty much told me that. But he wants to be by his son so I'm happy about that! I'm not going to worry about it anymore, one cannot speculate how someones gonna react to things until it happens. So he took a couple of the pictures and I thought that was sweet. The babydaddy is a good person, I know this cannot be easy for a carefree and wild biker thug!

12/5/07 Well tomorrows my level 2 sonogram. I pray that everything is alright. I haven't seen him since I was 13 weeks so its been awhile...I'll report tomorrow on the outcome. Wish me and mine luck!

12/2/07 Hello everybody...I have been feeling the baby move alot and kick. If he's kickin me like this now...boy I'mma get a beating from him when he gets bigger! But its such a wondeful feeling when I feel him...isn't it ladies? I feel sorry for men who never will know this feeling. So far I've been pretty happy, however, I've been doing more during the day, and by 7pm I'm tired...Like i'm in PJS already (8:09pmEastern) and I'm ready to close my eyes for the night!!

11/27/07 For the past 20min my baby has been kicking!! He's cracking me up!! Last night he was very active as well. I could feel the kicks when I touch my belly, this is very exciting!

11/15/07 3rd doctor visit today. baby heartbeat was perfect! I opted not to do the spina bifida test. doc said when I do my 20 week sono, they can see/check for that. I also asked him about lamazz classes. he said started laughing and said thats so old times. Suggested a childbirth class. So anyways, gonna look into that. This was supposed to be a good day but I got into a text message battle with the baby's father. He actually was pissed that he had to pay for doctor bills. Said he don't need to do anything till the baby is born. I wish he was standing in front of me, I think I would've shot him in his pee pee. sorry ladies. but boys can be so ignorant. So I sent him an email and said here's the doctor visit schedule/lab schedules/here's when baby is due/here's what you need to do...etc etc. I bet he doesn't even read it all and probably will tell me I'm a drama queen. Lastly I told him, come up with a good number to give me a month, or when baby is born, we can do this in or out of court. I never thought I would have a problem with this guy. He was a gem, my Ace, my best friend, and wow what a 360 maneuver he did. He treats me like a straight up hoodrat (baby's momma), so tramp he got knocked up. Anyways, I just got a dose of reality today, so my eyes have been puffy all day. I told him he making me cry, bastard said, "I have nothing to do with that. no one makes me sad and miserable". I never had such ill feelings with a man ( and I've had some horrible boyfriends aka restraining order types) but ladies, I'm in awe as how he turned out to be. So with that said. I just have to just find a way to disconnect myself from this guy and stay cordial and firm about baby stuff. I need a drank! j/k.

11/13/07 OMG! I'm sittin at work and I feel the baby fluttering...I started crackin up and everyone is lookin at me werid. OH WAT FUN!!

11/7/07 So yesterday I started to have these lower abdomen pains, and pretty much discomfort all over my belly. I woke up this morning with the same feelings. I panicked. Called the nurse. Of course, this is all part of the process! They were like hello? Ur uterus is growing! But why do I get so wigged out!

11/5/07 I am 16 weeks pregnant! Hip hip hooray! Sonogram said it is a BOY!! YEAH!! If so, I'm hoping to name him Marcello Antonio. I am now 151lbs...I gained about 12 lbs, wait, maybe more, I was 135. Aye caramba! I am single however baby daddy is a good friend and supportive. Don't know how many single mommies use this forum but I swear I am 10 x more bored and I need a new hobby.



1/22 I thought I updated my page..Well, after my ob appt. My doc told me that I gained too much weight. :( I just don't see where? I mean do I look huge? (See display picture). So then I did my glucose test. Got a call the following Monday and they told me it was 151/140. I did the 3hr Glucose screening. That was horrible. They took 4 viles of blood. I had no food in my stomach and I was given a GLUCOSE drink that made me shake like a crack head. I was worried all week. Wondering what I should eat and drink. I started walking about 40 minutes a day. And finally the nurse called me yesterday and said I DO NOT HAVE GESTATIONAL DIABETES. Glory be to God!!! That burden has lifted and I feel much happier. Although I had a nightmare about my son. He was born and I didn't have anything for him...no clothes, no diapers, no bottles, no blankets..and I was like freaking out. And I could see my baby and he was really white. and I was like he looks like me...darnit I wanted him to look like his Father. It was such a long dream. but I assume its just that I'm worrier about being prepared because I was at walmart pricing diapers and other baby stuff.

Thanks ma! How is the baby food going? My baby will only eat apples, bananas, yams and cream of wheat.
I can't understand how other mommies have their babies eating all these different foods...I wish.

Message to all This may be interesting to some of you. Seema`s email is seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

Hi there,

I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.

We’re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.

If you’re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.

You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

carlsonlove757 - Thursday, 2 October
Good luck! Let me know how it goes! It's pretty fun.


carlsonlove757 - Wednesday, 1 October
"yea it seems really easy......I bought the food processor already...but I need a steamer to steam the veggies...did you do veggies first and then fruite or did you introduced a veggie then a fruit..I'm trying to decide what to do...he's doing sweet potatoes first which is something we always have at home. "

Just wanted to let you know what I have been doing for Kyndal's food. I started her on Sweet Potato's about a week ago and then I will introduce Squash to her this week. I have a steamer/puree machine that does both, so I just chop up the veggie into small squares, steam them in the steamer, then puree them and put the "mush" into ice trays to freeze. It's actually really easy and fun! Then to reheat I just pop the frozen square of "mush" into a small heat resistant bowl and place in the steamer and reheat that way. It sort of takes a while to reheat with the steamer I have, but it is really small and it doesn't get dirty and all I have to do is rinse after each use. Oh, and I did a veggie first b/c I didn't want to introduce something sweet first b/c I want her to eat her veggies, but I have also read that fruits may be a good starter food if you breast fed since breast milk is sweet anyway. But I didn't want to chance her not liking veggies after introducing fruits, so I stuck with veggies. I will go through all the veggies before I begin fruits. I have also read that avocado is a good started food as well. Anyway, just wanted to give you another idea. Good Luck!


babyharris - Tuesday, 30 September
I did the fruit first, You don't have to have a steamer to steam the veggies, just add a little water to a pot w/ a lid. Sweet potatoes was Anaiyah's first veggie too and remains her favorite.


Ruthann - Tuesday, 30 September
I'm so scared to be alone! I just dont want to be a single mom thats how i was raise just me and my mom! But thanks for your advice you sound a strong mom I wish i can be like that!


babyharris - Tuesday, 30 September
I puree the baby's food with a food processor. It is the best gift of all the gifts I got for my shower! I make a breakfast bottle of bananas and apples because she doesn't do well off of the spoon when she first wakes up. Really she just started taking the food from a spoon this week. Boil your veggies in water to soften them , then put it in the blender or food processer. I put a drop of syrup and butter in her yams to sweeten them.


Jo-Mama - Monday, 29 September
I have made all of Malone's food. It's so easy, I wouldn't even call it cooking! You just steam/bake/boil/microwave the veggies or fruit, then you put them in a blender. Ta da! So simple.


MrsSilva - Thursday, 18 September
Oh really wow! I never thought about that! I hat e the way it feels once there is nothing left inside to pump out. But I'll give it a shot thanks


Mercer - Thursday, 11 September
I'm really upset about it now because she wrote us back last night and said that she 'changed her mind' and wasn't going to give us our money back. It's unbelievable! She's being so awful. She got so mad about us trying to return it but she's the one that said that if we weren't happy for any reason that she would give us our money back. Then she said our reason wasn't valid... my husband and I are really angry about the whole situation... unfortunately I have medicaid that is getting ready to run out in Oct. because it was just for the pregnancy. We don't qualify for regular medicaid and my husband's insurance through his job doesn't offer a family plan. Thanks for your advice though - I might still look into renting one. I still refuse to use the used one - especially after finding out what kind of person she is!


kbpc3949 - Thursday, 11 September
Your lo is a cutie!


monikaOH - Wednesday, 10 September
Well I was hoping to be done by now but my son doesn't tollerate anything else... but as I said I am not worrying, first he makes up during morning/evening feeds, second if he needs more my body will adjust.
Also, when your baby is 6 months he will eat other things :-) so your 15 oz during work day will be plenty .Ears up, things will get better.


YogaMama - Wednesday, 10 September
Is there a La Leche League group near you? I got so much GOOD info and support from them with my last baby. Even go online to their site for more info: http://forums.lalecheleague.org/


monikaOH - Wednesday, 10 September
If he doesn't get enough from bottle, he will make up after you are home and he can get more out than pump. Just don't give up!


YogaMama - Wednesday, 10 September
re the breastfeeding comment: Do you use a double pump?


metalstar83 - Wednesday, 10 September
I am the same way. I introduced rice cereal into my baby's bottle around 6wks because he was constantly spitting up (the doctor suggested it). Now my son is 4 mo. and he is eating applesauce, rice cereal, and oatmeal...and I still can support breastfeeding him. Try 1-2 tablespoons of rice cereal in each bottle, it will make your life easier.
