Hi my name is amber i was married on Oct 6 2007 and have a child on the way this would be our third pregnancy and have had two other m/c but things seem to be going better this time around. We really were not trying to get pregnant again and really had to much going on to even think about it. We went to Disney World in Orlando Florida for our honey moon and made it back just in time for my sister have her baby girl Jacelynn Grace(who is very beautiful) so i took off an extra week of work to help her and before we knew it af was here and it had only been 28 days since my last and since they are usually 90 days apart i found it very weird. Well before we knew it Thanksgiving was here and i didn't really feel well and didn't eat much. on dec 3 me and my husband were in town and decided to go see my doctor and was very shocked when the nurse said congradulations your 6 weeks pregnant. I started crying i was so happy and Lance was in shock. I have had 3 u/s so far and everything seems to be going good. they said that my plecenta is low but marginal. i'm still a little worried.

went to the doctor today lance loves him. he reassured me that this pregnancy is different from the other ones that i've had and that i should have no problems having a vaginal birth. he started looking for the heart beat and it was all over the place everytime he would find it it would move again and finally it stayed still long enough for us to find it at 165 bpm. i think this in going to be a very active baby.

I know i'm not going crazy i am feeling the baby move its mostly in the after noon when i get home from work and relax a little bit. i'm usually lying on my back and some times on my side and i can feel it i can now tell the difference b/w gas and the baby its way different. yesterday it was so amazing i felt like so one was poking me from the inside to say the least i was shocked b/c mostly i've been feeling like fish swimming in there. well i go back to the doctor on 2/18 and i can't wait.
2/12/08
ok i'm not really going crazy today at work i had a small cup of coffee to wake me up and the baby was bouncing around and one of the women i work with got to feel the baby she said if felt like popcorn popping in my belly. i just had to laugh. bad weather here today and more to come friday.
2/18/08
I went to the doctor today after having 3 migraines back to back and throwing up blood, cramping and spotting. he told me my baby is alright and to take tylenol and drink caffine seems to have helped. the baby's heart beat was b/w 155 and 160 and only got to 160 b/c i was laughing at the doctor. next apt March 17 and then they will schedule the u/s for the sex of the baby. sha i can't wait.

Went back to the doctor today like normal i was in and out. we talked about the baby's movements and how i need to gain some weight since i've been loosing weight everytime i go in. they scheduled my ultrasound for April 9 which is not fair b/c i will be 23 weeks and thats to far away for me but with the holidays everyone is taking off . **sigh** the baby's heart beat was 163 bpm. doctor commented that it could be a girl but that they are not 100% accurate (nothing is)
3/18/08
I got a phone call from my mom today at work telling me my cousin who is 32 weeks pregnants water busted today and that they were moving her to a different hospital to help them more. they are not allowing visitors at the moment they have said if her b/p goes up they will have to do a emergancy c-section on her.
3/19/08
We got an update on my cousin christine they said that if she didn't have the baby today that they would be taking it tomorrow. hope everything goes well for her. i guess i've had a really stressful week so far today at work i started having braxton hicks contractions and pretty much had to go to the doctor to make sure baby is still doing fine and they told me to go and soak in a tub of warm water and drink 2 big glasses of water that i am dehyrated. so when i got home i drank one glass of water and went and soaked it the tub (which i fell asleep in and my husband had to come and wake me up from.) didn't make the second glass will make up for it tomorrow
3/20/08
I got word last night that at 10 pm they did they c-section on my cousin everyone is well the baby weighed 3lbs 11ounces 15 3/4 inches long so tiny but she is very strong her name is Emily Rene. I can't wait to find out what i'm having
3/28/08
We were supper busy at work today and my boss decided to treat everyone to Casa Ole' it was really good. i ordered my usual and i also ordered some sophapias (sorry about spelling) and had some honey on them omg my belly was moving all over i'm guessing the baby liked it. it was cutting flips and bouncing all over my co-workers were laughing it looked so weird. 2 weeks til i find out what the baby is i'm still crossing my fingers for a boy... wish me luck.
4/7/08
Emily comes home tomorrow i'm so happy for them. she weighs 4 lbs 8.2 ounces only 2 days left til we find out boy or girl. and my sister announced that she is pregnant again.
4/8/08
I went for my monthly doctors visit today and all was well i've gained 3 lbs since last month thats a good thing says my doctor. the baby's heart rate was 162. he gave me quite a lecture telling me to sit more at work and if i don't stay off my feel bed rest will be in the picture for the next four months :( and he also told me to get some better shoes that will support my back. tomorrow is the big day YAH!!!!!!
4/9/08
We went to the big ultrasound today and IT'S A GIRL. wow were we surprised. but it was so good to see her. she was showing off. she had the hiccups at first then she was sticking her tongue at us then she started sucking her thumb.
6/1/08
Wow its been a long time since i updated this but here is a back track to what has been going on. I was put on bed rest in april for only a week b/c i was having a really difficult time breathing (who hasn't) after i proved that i could manage it they let me go back to work (wish they hadn't) i have gained a total of 12 lbs so far i go back to the doctor tomorrow for him to fuss me about my weight again. i believe that i get another u/s this month but will double check tomorrow i can't believe that Karleigh is getting so big (or atleast my belly is getting that big) we finally started building the addition on to the house. and hope its finished by the time she gets here. (i don't think it will) i felt the wierdest thing the other day she got her foot stuck in my ribs and was wiggling it to get it out that was wierd. i'm hoping when i go to the doctor tomorrow that he sets an induce date but not crossing my fingers.
6/4/08
Well i went to the doctor yesterday i've gained another 6 lbs (19 total) We still can't tell what position she is in but almost positive she is breach. My blood pressure is slightly up but not enough for bed rest yet. Swelling has dramatically increased (I can no longer wear my work shoes) My babyshower is saturday I'm so excited.
6/11/08
My baby shower was great i got tons of stuff. I have a few items that i have to get before she gets here but not much . my pool is finally set up i'm so happy its so hot here i can't stand to go outside these days.
7/6/08
Wow something worth posting besides all the aches and pains of the last trimester. I lost my mucus plug this morning hoping that labor is to far away. I am so ready to have my little girl in my arms not my belly. Now i just hope that it doesn't decide to reginerate itself i don't go back to the doctor til the 16 of this month. I have also told my boss that my last day will be the 25 unless i have her sooner than that.
7/14/08
Well another week down and i'm holding on (bearly) my family yesterday told me that i've dropped so i'm hoping something will start soon i'm so tired of being pregnant. I just want her in my arms. i have two weeks left of work (which i don't think i will make) i have a doctors appointment on wednesday and going to ask him to write a letter no more work. i'm so swollen its unreal. we found out friday that my husbands sister is having a girl as well as my sister and they are due a week apart so that should be interesting. The addition is going slow but steady.
7/21/08
Well still no baby yet i'm really tired of being pregnant and everyone asking when you due or how many is there in there (if only i could hit them). Yesterday was my moms birthday she really wanted her to come on her birthday but those things you can't predict. i go back to the doctor on Wednesday hopefully he will strip my membranes and get something started i would love for him to set a date to induce me. i'm not a person who is very patient i like everything planned months ahead of time. but i guess thats something that i wil have to adjust to not having control over anymore.
good thing he is sleeping in our room to begin with lol. so what theme are you doing hr room in ? talk to you later
talk to you soon!
. Mena is doing great she loves to play in her little pool we got her and dances all the time when she hears anything that sounds like music so i have been turning on the radio alot for her. the new house is great we are working on the yard right now puting up fencing for the horses and bernie just had the driveway redone i even made him put in a flower garden for me being i am not aloud but i will take over it when i have Ayden. my parents also moved in for alittle to help with the horses and Mena for me plus my dad sold his buissness so they need alittle help. i love living with them again they are just like teenagers always playing games or commming up with fun stuff to do. i am just glad this is a huge place so we can have our space if we need it. hopefully your little one is happier now that you got something to eat lol. talk to you later. |
